nope, just doesn't look like a fun GAME to me.

@AZYotes5013 overall it's fine, it's just so many people ordered from amazon after I did and they get their new console tomorrow. fully appreciate others have it worse!!

I may try Argos tomorrow morning, and cancel my Amazon pre-order if I'm lucky. but still feeling really peeved at how random amazon have been about all of this.

despite ordering April 4th, it's Saturday for me. thanks Amazon, thanks so much for preferentially delivering early to those who ordered from you days and weeks after me! that seems fair.

wasted a day of annual leave tomorrow for nothing

Pre-ordered April 4th from Amazon UK but they are appalling, and mine not coming til the weekend at the earliest, yet Reddit full of people who ordered a week after me from Amazon and their S2 has shipped. Last time I rely on Amazon. gutted.

playing some loooong PS5 games right now, so have the 2 duck detective games on my switch for palette cleansers haha!

this looks awful, like a PS2 or 3 game.

looking forward to playing new Mario Kart, but that's it, plus seeing how the Zelda games and Mario games run on switch 2. Excited to get the console, but will be 95% PS5 for the rest of the year it seems, unless they announced a new mainline Zelda or Mario later this year...

Nope. Not in a million years am I paying over £13 for a ROM. Disgusting pricing!

@killercereal yep, the mobile game tracks felt so out of place. a handful of the newer tracks were on a par for me with the originals, but not many. still not bothered to play the final update, after 10+ years playing this game, I am utterly over it. can't wait for S2 launch day!!!

Nintendo are hopeless at online social gaming, and this looks terrible. still decades behind xbox and PS here...

@KoopaTheGamer exactly this, the PS portal and this look infinitely more usable for long sessions handheld (particularly if you have big hands)

makes zero difference. I only buy games when they have been out a year or more, so they are a) discounted, and b) patched and fully working!

@Misima or regular people with good jobs?

genuinely never even heard of it.

Disappointed they have seemingly missed the opportunity for a Diddy Kong Racing style story, all the ingredients are here! But regardless, I've pre-ordered and am looking forward to playing.

absolutely adore this game, clocked around 100 hours, and broke my record for a hand yesterday (unseeded) of 1.324e15

I have no idea how this normally works for consoles, but disappointing to hear that devs are still struggling to get any info on securing dev kits at this time.

@Grandiajet Coronation Street Fighter!! My mate suggested that one to Jim'll Paint It!

Loved my Switch, but spent the last 2-3 years largely playing PS5 / XSX. Looking forward to a year or so of Nintendo gaming come the Switch 2 launch

@Member_the_game damn straight

gotta keep milking Nintendo fans for $$$

I own a PS5 and a Switch, as do lots of my friends. Switch 2 pre-ordered. I don't really see these 2 systems in competition...

Switch 2 may now be marginally cheaper than the PS5, but PS games are so much cheaper, this offsets it.

I want to buy Super Mario 3D World as used to have it on my Wii U 12 YEARS ago, but Nintendo still want to charge £50. Nintendo will always be more expensive once you factor in game prices...

@carlos82 100%

SNES. Almost all of the Switch 2 games you have listed are old ports.

Switch 2 lineup is a Mario kart game and a donkey Kong game. 2 games. ports of games I've had for many years don't even count.

@Jester676 yeah I get it. Just annoyed by it that's all!

Nope - despite buying close to 100 games for my Switch, and owning just about every console they have ever released, I'm not deemed important enough to be allowed to pre-order because I don't subscribe to their awful online. Thanks Nintendo.

Got a pre-order with MKW from Amazon, so I'm all on board, but I'm still a tad hurt by the snub from Nintendo.

he has a support crew, and access to an air BnB and a hotel. so it all sounds like a gimmick, if he leaves the queue (once it forms) he loses his place at the front. idiot YouTubers

@lumothesinner oh thank god, haha!!

ignore me, I didn't read things properly!

@jetsetradion nice one

@Grimley141 couldn't agree with you more.

@Cathalm it should be $20 more expensive physically... or more

as somebody who now buys games physically, at last digital games are cheaper, as they should be. They should be MORE than $10 cheaper too... with the manufacturing and distribution costs of carts, packaging, store markups, etc, and the fact that if you buy physical you are able to resell it, unlike digital.

Digital should be $20 cheaper

Has the UK price been announced yet? Only use my switch in docked and using a pro controller (big hands!), so will most likely pick this up

Not paying for a tech demo! Bad enough having to pay to upgrade my Zelda games, but at least it's not too pricey (would rather it was free and they hadn't wasted time on a flipping mobile app)

I wonder if you still need to pay to unlock the DLC on the S2 physical edition?

I've not played BOTW for a good few years, so can't wait to replay this on my S2 later this year. Less than / no more than £10 I can live with...

@jojobar OK let's see how Cyberpunk looks before you say that games look almost as good. Let's not get silly here.

@johnvboy I'm just comparing a PS5 that has much better performance and games, and cheaper games. It's not that mad a comparison!

@BFahey3 there are lots of ways to pre-order, assuming you aren't American. Lot's of us have pre-orders, as we aren't Americans.

@jojobar OK, it's exactly the same price! £430 with astro bot and disc drive, or £430 for Switch 2 with Mario Kart. That's still mad to me.

@dr-ghost in his Kart?

@jojobar I guess so, I mean when you compare it to steam deck, etc.

it's expensive for me, as I only ever use my switch docked. £430 for a Switch 2 with Mario Kart World. £340 for a digital PS5 with Astro Bot. Jaw-dropping comparison.

@dugan if you're in the UK, with Amazon you need to apply to pre-order, then hopefully a day or so later you get invited to pre-order.

@dugan personally, pre-ordered via Amazon.uk. Still an option for anybody in the UK - not everybody on the internet is American...

@shgamer FYI there is a list on their website of all games that currently have issues and what they're doing to address it...

but I hope I can keep all my S1 games on my original switch too

I can totally understand peoples concerns and frustrations. Astro's playroom for free with my PS5 was incredible, so I just laugh at the cheek of charging for what looks like a cheap knock-off by Nintendo!

Selfishly, it doesn't really impact me as I'm now primarily a PS5 gamer, and like my Switch, my pre-ordered Switch 2 will just be used for select first party Nintendo games, and the odd indie and retro arcade game (very excited for what else comes out via arcade archives 2)... and regardless of price, I can afford 1 or 2 pricey Nintendo games a year. I remember paying crazy money for Mega Drive and N64 game cartridges back in the day, for example, and put hundreds of hours into my Mario and Zelda games, so it's still not a problem.

The hardware looks better than I expected, despite the fact I'll not use the mouse functionality or the stupid camera chat. Hoping that Trumps' actions don't have too bad an effect on my US gaming pals.

still hoping for another mode that lets you race for more than a single lap on these tracks (aside from the first track in each Grand Prix), as nothing so far on the official site or tree house footage suggests that this is possible...

and for something else that isn't Forza Horizon related, haha. Driving to the next race / area is straight from FH2, and the FH series pioneered the open world driving game. Expected more originality from Nintendo (but still per-ordered the S2 with MKW)...

maybe, but to be honest I'm more waiting on / dreaming of Super Mario Galaxy 2 to be released in some form, so I can complete my 3D Mario set on Switch 2 (albeit I already have it for my Wii)...
