The games on Switch 2 are good so far, but not ones that will have gamers run out to get one. A brand new Mario 3D game should do the trick. And perhaps a Direct to show the road map for the next 2 years for Nintendo games and also 3rd party developers.
I always say codes in the box are more for space in a brick and mortar stores as potential gifts for birthdays, Christmas, etc. Never meant for fervent players on this site. Although it blows my mind how a digital game would stop a gamer from enjoying it.
I am always about storyline. If it's weak, I lose interest. Hogwarts Legacy has great gameplay but it's very boring to me. It also depends on the game. If it's Mario, I don't expect a deep storyline, but I do expect it with something like Zelda .
The first movie was fun for nostalgia, but it was just ok if you remove Mario fandom. Have not seen the second one yet, but I imagine it's more of the same. Thinking the critics are right.
You are missing this option "when it is on big sale, 1 or 2 years from now". That's how I buy most of my games. Nintendo's first party games take longer, and usually don't go below $40.
Several people here have no problem buying digital on PC, but they draw the line on Switch 2. Very ironic, lol. I don't care if it's digital, physical or key card; although I have been leaning digital lately. Having said that, $80 seems a bit steep.
About time . I am glad that I no longer have to pay more money for digital. Physical copies are costly. It costs money for the cartridge and the container. Not too mention shipping costs to buyer or the brick and mortar store. Free shipping costs money to the seller. And also having to pay brick and mortar stores their share of the profits.
All you need to know is that there are zombies. I don't remember the previous plots half the time. I don't think you really need to play these in order to enjoy them.
@RiasGremory Requiem is a humongous game yet it only managed to premiere at number 4 here. It's a fantastic port by the way. Yakuza, Cyberpunk, Assassin's Creed Shadows, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Star Wars Outlaws are fantastic ports and definitely not lazy ports. I am worried that 3rd Parties will shy away from bringing more games over.
Switch owners need to step up in supporting 3rd parties with purchases. While I love Mario, it's sad to see the top chart and the lack of support for those 3rd parties. Thats why PS5 is winning in console sales.
@HugoGED what the companies should do is give a price break for digital or key card releases but charge $20 more for physical card releases. This way physical games owners would still get their games and companies can get a better profit on the costly cards
@orbots While what you say is true, many gamers will be too busy playing Switch 3 or 4 to notice. Playing old systems is more of a niche thing. I started my gaming through NES, Genesis and Commodore 64 but I don't look back. Nintendo Online or occasional re-release of an old game fixes that nostalgia fix.
On Switch 2, playing Hogwarts Legacy. I like it but its boring at times. I do want to see it through.
On PS5, playing Forspoken. I didn't like it for the first half of the game but its grown on me. The gameplay is really good once you unlock more abilities.
@Yoshi3 Rare Replay and Sea of Thieves would be great, but I want more Microsoft games like Halo, Fable, Fallout 3New Vegas and more. The more the better
Do Bethesda games have bugs? Yup. Could Bethesda do better? Yup. I remember when the PS4 version had a bug that prevented me from starting a conversation with a key character that would have allowed me to join that faction, but I still loved Fallout 4. I am getting this again to play on the go. Fallout games are one of my most favorite game series.

Re: Reaction: Nintendo Hits The Rewind Button On Star Fox, Again, And I'm Here For It, Again
@spiderman0616 haha. They are surely slow dripping their announcements and plans for Switch 2, including from 3rd parties.
Re: Reaction: Nintendo Hits The Rewind Button On Star Fox, Again, And I'm Here For It, Again
Does this announcement mean no major Direct in the near future? I was hoping for tons of game announcements for the rest of the year.
Re: Borderlands 4 Switch 2 Port Could Still Happen, But It's Not A Priority Right Now
@Thesharkfromjaws I care and was looking forward to it. Too bad that they canceled it.

@RushDawg. I missed that part. Oh well. I got very excited there
Re: Star Fox Is Finally Getting Another Game, Out June 2026 Exclusively On Switch 2
I hope that this is open world where you can fly between planets. Like Starlink, but 100 times better
Re: The World Is In Such A Mess, Investors Actually Want Nintendo To Raise The Price Of The Switch 2
The games on Switch 2 are good so far, but not ones that will have gamers run out to get one. A brand new Mario 3D game should do the trick. And perhaps a Direct to show the road map for the next 2 years for Nintendo games and also 3rd party developers.
Re: Talking Point: Do You Prefer Big Directs Or A Steady Flow Of News From Nintendo Today?
I love Directs for new game announcements, but game updates could probably be regular news updates
Re: UK Charts: Tomodachi Life Beats Saros To Reclaim Number One
Not my cup of tea. Waiting for a new 3D Mario, Zelda, Bayonetta, etc. Those are more in my lane
Re: EA Sports Madden NFL 27 Is On Its Way To Switch 2
Still waiting for NHL
Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Games & Accessories For May & June 2026
Next two months look great but we really need a Direct for rest of the year and beyond
Re: Random: Gamer Buys Dodgy Copy Of Pragmata And Breaks Their Switch 2
@Yosher if it can be done for a key card, it can be done for a physical one too
Re: Random: Gamer Buys Dodgy Copy Of Pragmata And Breaks Their Switch 2
Maybe those digital purchases are better after all.

Re: Video: Here's How 'Final Fantasy VII Rebirth' Looks & Runs On Switch 2
@Bizzyb Looks great On Switch 2. great comparisons.
Re: THQ Nordic Website Lists Multiple Unannounced Projects For Switch 2
@Gjones22 Good to know that. I didn't know that THQ owns Pandemic Studios games. I actually feel more hopeful for a remaster or remake.
Re: THQ Nordic Website Lists Multiple Unannounced Projects For Switch 2
@Gjones22 I would kill for Saboteur remake but didn't EA release that? Does THQ Nordic own the current rights?
Re: Talking Point: Do You Play Zelda Games For The Story?
I am always about storyline. If it's weak, I lose interest. Hogwarts Legacy has great gameplay but it's very boring to me. It also depends on the game. If it's Mario, I don't expect a deep storyline, but I do expect it with something like Zelda .
Re: Xbox Is Reportedly Having "Very Big Discussions" About Exclusivity
I would love even more Microsoft games on Switch 2. The more the better.
Re: Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Officially Revealed, But It'll Skip Switch 2
My favorite AC game. I hope it comes to Switch 2. I am hoping that ubisoft is not getting shy on switch 2 support.
Re: "It's Truly Baffling" - Shigeru Miyamoto Comments On The Mario Galaxy Movie's Critical Reception
@DollyrotsFan1 This movie made less than 1 billion. The first movie made 1.3 billion. Are you saying 2 billion for the two movies combined?

Re: Looks Like 'Elden Ring' Will Be A Pricey Game-Key Card Release On Switch 2
@Anachronism even if I disagree with high prices, I would never steal (pirate) games.

Amazing game. One of my recent favorites
Re: Nintendo To Change Pricing For Digital & Physical Switch 2 Exclusives, Starting With Yoshi
About time . I am glad that I no longer have to pay more money for digital. Physical copies are costly. It costs money for the cartridge and the container. Not too mention shipping costs to buyer or the brick and mortar store. Free shipping costs money to the seller. And also having to pay brick and mortar stores their share of the profits.

Re: Acclaimed Arcade Racer 'Horizon Chase Turbo' Being Delisted From Switch eShop
@Hordak you know that you can still purchase it before it's delisted and download any time you please.

Great news. And I always love to see switch 2 editions.
Re: Yoshi And The Mysterious Book Lands Switch 2 Release Date

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (7th March)
On Switch 2, playing Hogwarts Legacy. I like it but its boring at times. I do want to see it through.
On PS5, playing Forspoken. I didn't like it for the first half of the game but its grown on me. The gameplay is really good once you unlock more abilities.

Re: Nintendo Direct For The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Announced
Again? Why? It will ruin the movie with everything revealed
Re: PlayStation Indie Hit 'Kena: Bridge Of Spirits' Is Headed To Switch 2 Soon
This is one of my most favorite PS5 games. Shocked that this was not announced during the recent Indie Showcase as this is a big get for Switch 2.
Re: Ubisoft Finally Teases Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced With Concept Art
@BleakStuff too funny. I actually thought it was the best part.
Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase March 2026: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
Mixtape, Blighted and Midnight Walk seemed interesting to me. Probably skip the other games.
Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, 3rd March 2026
Mutant Year Zero needs a Switch 2 Edition. Switch 1 version is awful. I hope games that struggle on Switch 1 get a significant Switch 2 upgrade
