I'm playing it less. Oddly, I'm getting a good start on my Hogwart's game. Considering the massive upgrade it's about to get, you'd think I'd go for something else.
@Anti-Matter It sucks, but it isn't any different than a game that has part of the game on the card and a required download on the Switch, the way you had to do it for several 3rd party titles on the Switch.
Only PC handhelds have put up a fight in this space; there's no need for Nintendo to leave these blue oceans. Sony and Microsoft have given Nintendo a gift by not following.
This is just 7 million or so diehards worldwide. Sales of this overpriced garbage will drop off a cliff and Nintendo will have more returns than sales by Christmas. Everyone knows Nintendo underperforms during the holidays. I predict sales of NEGATIVE 28,000 consoles by Black Friday. God help you if you can't read sarcasm this thick.
Nintendo was wise giving the competition next to ZERO time to respond. They've got at least a two year head start on the competition (including Valve).
Stood in line at Gamestop this morning. It felt like old times! Nabbed MKW bunderuu, Cyberpunk, a 512GB card, and a Pro Controller. GET READY TO ROCK!!!
If EA embraces every aspect of the Switch 2 with camera support, this could be party central. Imagine slapping mouse control onto a table to throw a quick Juke move.

Re: Yakuza 0 Comparison Video May Give Switch 2 The Edge Over PS4
I'll extend the olive branch and say both versions look great, but I'll only be playing one of them.
Re: Switch 2's HD Rumble Is Seemingly Capable Of Some Impressive Sound Output
I guess if you've got a dog or a two year old running around this could be useful. I've never lost a single joycon.
Re: Every Nintendo Switch Online N64 Game Ranked
It's tough to argue with the top 4, and I had no idea Shadowman was on NSO. Sweet!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (17th May)
I'm probably going to be going back and forth between Hogwart's Legacy and The Hundred Line.
Re: Nintendo Has "No Plans" To Use Game-Key Cards For First-Party-Developed Titles
I'm hoping 3rd parties will follow suit and Nintendo can cut deals, but I'm not horribly optimistic about it.
Re: Nintendo Predicted To Become "Primary Partner For Third-Party Game Publishers"
When you can sell 152 million (and counting) Switches without a single Madden or Call of Duty, that's gonna turn some heads.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's N64 Library With Another Game
More is better.
Re: Talking Point: Are You Ghosting Switch 1 To Save Yourself For Switch 2?
I'm playing it less. Oddly, I'm getting a good start on my Hogwart's game. Considering the massive upgrade it's about to get, you'd think I'd go for something else.
Re: Talking Point: How Can The Next Animal Crossing Improve Crafting?
Don't know if the article mentioned it, but put Tears of the Kingdom CRAZY CRAFTING in the next Animal Crossing.
Re: PSN's 'Agent 07 - Revenge' Reportedly Uses Assets From GoldenEye 007
I probably played GE on the N64 more than any other game. Multi-player extended it's shelf life for years. No fight from me.
Re: The First Review For Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Is In
Crap, this is a Level 5 game? RAWR! Another purchase.
Re: Feature: 7 Switch Games We Played At PAX East 2025 - Here's What We Thought
Bravely Default is sounding like a purchase to me. It was utterly charming on the DS.
Re: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Developer Seems Open To A Switch 2 Port
I think Switch 2 ports will become commonplace this generation. Any AA(A) game seems like a likely candidate.
Re: Limited Run's Switch 2 Numbered Releases Will Reportedly Include The "Full Game On The Cartridge"
I get they might be distributing key cards that aren't numbered, and I'm okay with that. I'll definitely be checking out the games they put on card.

@ChromaticDracula
The eshop shows it in motion. Looks good!
Re: Review: Labyrinth Of The Demon King (Switch) - FromSoft & Horror Vibes Straight Out Of '97
I'll deffo be scooping this up. Hope they get a physical copy.
Re: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. Announced For Switch 2
@Anti-Matter

Re: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. Announced For Switch 2
Japan might consider just renaming their island Nintendo. It would save a lot of kanji.
Re: Rare's N64 Shooter 'GoldenEye 007' Officially Inducted Into The Video Game Hall Of Fame
@-wc-
HOLES! I NEED HOLES!
Re: Rare's N64 Shooter 'GoldenEye 007' Officially Inducted Into The Video Game Hall Of Fame
Deserved. It was an utter blast at the time.
Re: Gearbox's Randy Pitchford Admits Borderlands 4 Might Follow Nintendo's New Pricing
He's in for a rude awakening if they think they can get $80 for this game anywhere.
Re: Nintendo Defends Switch 2's Perceived Lack Of Innovation
Only PC handhelds have put up a fight in this space; there's no need for Nintendo to leave these blue oceans. Sony and Microsoft have given Nintendo a gift by not following.
Re: Former Rockstar Dev Throws Shade At Mario Kart World, Says New GTA Will Be Worth The Price
Mario Kart World strives for realism. News to me.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders Now Open To All Paid NSO Members In The UK
This is just 7 million or so diehards worldwide. Sales of this overpriced garbage will drop off a cliff and Nintendo will have more returns than sales by Christmas.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Dev Tells Studios "Do Not Underestimate The Physical Edition"
@Willo567
At LEAST Steam has sales that makes digital palatable. I'm a physical junkie...that owns a Steam Deck OLED.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Dev Tells Studios "Do Not Underestimate The Physical Edition"
I hope this means good sales for Cyberpunk.
Re: Ubisoft's Switch 2 Physical Release Of Star Wars Outlaws Is A "Game-Key Card"
I'm still going to probably buy physical here; if it's downloaded, there's no need for being online after that.
Re: Reminder: Nintendo's Switch 2 Launches Worldwide Next Month
Nintendo was wise giving the competition next to ZERO time to respond. They've got at least a two year head start on the competition (including Valve).
Re: Opinion: Switch 2 Finally Gives Star Wars Outlaws A Second Chance
From one rabid IV-VI fan to another...I might give this a go.
Re: Grand Theft Auto 6 Has Been Delayed And Will Now Launch In May 2026
March of 2026 they will delay it to December, but to appease investors they will announce a Switch 2 version and the internet will melt.
Re: Xbox Is Raising The Price Of Consoles, Accessories, And Games Worldwide
@Aerona I understood that reference.
Re: Xbox Is Raising The Price Of Consoles, Accessories, And Games Worldwide
Nintendo was just ahead of the curve.
Re: Astral Chain Director/Nier Automata Lead Designer Quits PlatinumGames
Well that sucks.
Re: PSA: Switch Update Adds Handy Feature Allowing System Transfer To "Dedicated Server"
@Edu23XWiiU
The last report is it boots up but it has issues. Based off this very site. I hope they're fixed.
Re: PSA: Switch Update Adds Handy Feature Allowing System Transfer To "Dedicated Server"
@Zyph Alien: Isolation is a BIG concern.
Re: PSA: Switch Update Adds Handy Feature Allowing System Transfer To "Dedicated Server"
Interesting. Might sacrifice my Switch OLED for Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion physical. It's worth contemplating...
Re: Limited Run's Atlus Switch 2 Collector's Edition Is A 'Game-Key Card' Release
Well, that is something. I hope this isn't all Limited Run has in store for Switch 2 owners.
Re: Random: Missed Out On A Switch 2 Pre-Order? Sakurai Has The Perfect Solution
Honestly, I love that Gamestop made you line up at the store and only let you get one per order. Talk about scalping the scalpers!
Re: Analyst Predicts Record-Breaking Launch Numbers For Switch 2
@PharoneTheGnome
That's exactly what I had to do yesterday. I stood in line and waited.
Re: Analyst Predicts Record-Breaking Launch Numbers For Switch 2
All I care about is I've secured mine.
Re: Resident Evil's Continued Success Makes Us Eager For Switch 2 Ports
You know they've got to be coming. Japanese devs are drooling all over this system and it's potential.
Re: Madden NFL 26 Confirmed For Switch 2, But College Football Isn't In The Starting Lineup
Might go digital for this one, anyway. Resale value for a Madden title tanks annually, anyway.
Re: Poll: So, Did You Manage To Get A Switch 2 Pre-Order In? (North America)
Stood in line at Gamestop this morning. It felt like old times! Nabbed MKW bunderuu, Cyberpunk, a 512GB card, and a Pro Controller. GET READY TO ROCK!!!
Re: Opinion: Steam Deck Fans Are Seriously Underestimating The Switch 2
The Steam Deck is legit (especially the OLED), but discerning gamers know Switch 2 is a better gaming rig.
Re: Random: If We Could Get A Zelda: Wind Waker Sequel Like This, We'd Be Ecstatic
@RadioHedgeFund
Could you imagine things going GIANT on you as you shrink? EPIC!
Re: Random: If We Could Get A Zelda: Wind Waker Sequel Like This, We'd Be Ecstatic
I would not object.
Re: Feature: 27 GameCube Games We'd Love To See On Nintendo Switch 2 NSO
How could Geist not make the list?
Re: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Is Out Now, But Switch 2 Is Unconfirmed
Seems like a no-brainer. Thirsty gamers like meaty games.

3DS BELONGS in a museum.[/Indiana_Jones]
Re: Rumour: After Missing 13 Years, Madden May Finally Be Revealed For Nintendo This Week
