They were definitely thinking it. The left bumper does the Same thing as the right one, and you have a dedicated mask slot on the left side.

Maybe Nintendo would give them a bit of resources for the Advance and Adventure games on NSO

For The question on a revision, someone in the comments also said they would want a smaller version and I agree as well.

Also, there should maybe be a question after the one on the worst purchase for the Switch 2, or the option of none. I put in Welcome Tour as probably a lot of people did, but I don't think it's that bad.

While I've bought much less games for the switch 2 in the same timespan than I did for the switch 1, Welcome Tour is leagues beyond better than quite a few switch 1 games I've bought.

There are definitely fans of games like this, but it feels like there were so so so many third-person action games in a fantasy area with you fighting a dark creeeature announced this entire not e3 week.

I honestly think that thumb wrestling segment was another company pulling from the Direct very late and Nintendo needed to fill the time with something quick.

I want whatever that Online Playtest game was!

It would be cool if there were rewards for beating challenges in the form of new borders (Also probably the option to turn off the borders too, for everyone that can't stand those)

This isn't conformation that they revised them, but the text on the back of later produced Joy-con (a pair of mine from around 2023 has this), was changed from earlier sets pre 2023, maybe the revision was from the Switch OLED onward. Also none of those sets that have the newer text have ever drifted for me.

Is sonic gonna have a weird gradient over him through the entire movie?

@RoboCube first it's funny that we have very similar names.

I agree, they do have samey gameplay from game to game. My main point was just on the art style, which TT games also had problems with, like how awful the hud is in Skywalker saga.

Tt games have the right aesthetic to me, every lego game other than theirs just looks weird to me.

If you guys hate this company so much for using AI in their games, why do you even want to play their games? Support someone else with your money and time.

Nintendo finally did it.
They hired that man.

The best cases for the switch and switch 2 to me is the model from walmart's tech brand onn.
Im entirely serious, i had about 3 other cases for the switch 1 including a powerA case, the crkd case for the nitro deck, and the hori case that can hold the split pad compact. And for the switch 2 I got a tomtoc slim case at launch. All of them are defeated in value and functionality compared to the onn switch cases. ITS 12 DOLLARS, each have space for games, a cartridge case, and the joycon straps. You could probably also fit a charger and a small battery bank, maybe not with as good capacity but if you didn't take the game case you could fit a larger one.
For someone that normally transports their switch in a backpack, it's the best option.

If it's 10$ off a digital game, then it literally is the same deal as the vouchers, you just don't have to buy two games at the same time. No point to the panic, as always.

They shouldn't have made this announcement without confirming Minecraft for switch 2. This is actually the dumbest thing Mojang has ever done in my opinion, and they've done a lot of dumb things.

I understand that goomba fallacy exists, but it really feels like Nintendo is damned if they do damned if they don't. Like how many negative comments would we be getting if they didn't include a voice chat?

AI generation at its worst takes payment away from artists that deserve it, and at the same time stealing from those same artists to make something "new"

So just piracy and romhacks then, right?

@Anti-Matter Forever is subjective.
That was my original comment's point.
Have fun with your shelves.

@orbots So then the game key card is better than buying a game digitally then? Because if you were able to like, buy a game key card of a digital-only 3DS game, you would still be able to download that still. Also I fail to see how this doesn't work in the modern day because there are like, loads of games that need day one patches cartridge or not.

@Anti-Matter
>Collector
So you just eventually want to sell your games right? Are you buying games because they'll go up in value one day or because you actually want to play them? Because sure, if you want to come here and say that you want to play it on PS5 because you can sell the disc 15 years from now for 14 bucks then sure that's actually a good reason instead of going "GAME KEY CARD BADD!!! ITS JUST BAD"

@DTfearTheBEARD

Oh no the digital store will go down in 20+ years!
Definitely nothing at all will happen to your cartridges though, it's not like they'll be lost with the system if you ever lose it, or burned with your house or eaten by a dog, or stolen or the flash chips will fail like sealed 3ds games have been.

Honestly Im just tired of this being a huge grandstand by the community, that you all are "better" than everyone buying them digitally because you bought a tiny piece of plastic and gold with data on it.

This is partially goomba fallacy on me, but it feels like a year and a half ago everyone were practically screaming that the switch 2 needs system level voice chat. It was one of the most requested features of the original switch right behind themes for the os. Now most of the comments here don't care about it one bit.

I like the little sound wave button, 1st column 4th row.

@MrGawain I agree, I think that's a lot of the reasoning behind this decision, they want games that actually use the hardware of the Switch 2, when any of these shovelware games barely use the power of the Switch 1.

Fingers crossed for Terraria for switch 2.

It'd be awesome if we got ultimate alliance 1&2 at some point on the Switch

This was actually one of the highest on my list of switch 2 upgrades ever since mouse mode was announced. Now I wait for Terraria and Minecraft to get updated

This update at least makes me now positive about fallout 4 on switch 2, but I obviously am still going to wait for the reviews and probably a sale for that

I would get either the virtual boy headset or an entirely new headset if they gave the rest of the online apps a full virtual screen experience. With the power of the switch 2, they could maybe even figure out how to get all switch 1 games to work on a large in-headset virtual display.

Switch emulation is the same in my head as AI generation:
Uses extra electricity for something that could be done with less powerful hardware
Steals from artists
People that support it always yell how much better it is

Though this is apparently a huge shame that Nintendo has done this, but the story from a few weeks ago had people begging them to use their legal power.

if you couldn't get this, 8bitdo made a mod kit to replace the board of an original. It's pretty good and probably what I'll be using for Gamecube on the Switch 2. It has clickable sticks and it lets you reuse the shell of a broken gamecube controller if you have one, and you can have different colors! It doesn't have a normal usb c charging port and obviously no Game Chat button though.

Awww, no mouse controls on clubhouse games? That's a real shame. Though I didn't realize that gameshare would work online, that's pretty cool.

I want the Mario Party games! Especially if they could get the switch mic to work with 6 and 7!

Hopefully if they do put Melee on it they really make sure it's working right. But knowing everything it'll probably be like Ocarina on Switch Online where to a layman like me it felt fine, but to a Speed runner who has played 5 hours of the game nearly every day for multiple years it felt bad.

Not saying that people complaining isn't justified for how much the service costs, it's just tiring with everyone saying the same thing over and over again.

When it comes to value arguments and how everyone should just buy the steam deck, people leave out how much a library of games could cost.

What I mean is I already am well invested into the switch library, more than my steam library. Yes I could get those games for cheap during a sale, but it would still require buying the games again. Also a lot of games I do own have problems and would require a purchase of a newer version on steam. Two I can think of are burnout paradise and Star Wars battlefront 1&2.

Minecraft bedrock will also never come to Steam Deck, and i do not want to wait for Java controller mods to have to update to new versions.

@Idontfare calm down about the dock man, is it really so serious you have to call it a piece of trash?

I did the math, and if all of these games cost what they would on virtual console, based on the prices from Wii U eShop, it's over $2000. This could buy you and 7 other people a family expansion pass for 25 years.

The values I used are :
Gameboy and NES for $5
SNES and GBA for $8
N64 for $10
And GameCube for $15

Amounts were in the list from this website.

Mario Maker 2 mouse mode? It seems like it should be one of the first games to use the feature.
