@SuppressorSteve I really should. If really like to play Battlefield 6, undisputed, Star WArs Battlefront ganes, .maybe the new GTA (although not a huge GTA fan...but this looks amazing).

@ottoecamn what is Fullmetal schoolgirl?

@ROOCISme too. Only bought 16 though. But, 32 had been fine.

@MathByThePixel

I try to keep.asittle as possible...but, I'm a sucker for these things

@AGuyWhoLikesNintendo I love certain Zelda games, but I dislike more of them than I like.

These are ones I love:

The Legend of Zelda
Zelda:The Wind Waker
A link to the Past
OOT

I like these:

Zelda 2
A Link.Between Worlds

This one I can't decide on:

Breath of the Wild

I hate all.of the little temple rooms. Just give me more dungeons and enemies.

Dislike these:

Tears of the Kingdom
Majoras Mask
Spirit Tracks
Phantom Hourglass
Skyward Sword
Twilight Princess (I would have loved this...had I not been required to play as a wolf).

@HunterRose

If they would make a Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Dragon Quest, or Punch out themed console...I'd jump on it.
Two of the colors that I find ugliest are mostly what these are...Gold and green. My third most hated color is brown.

Dragon Quest would likely have some blue or at least blue slimes. And brighter colors.

I think they are both ugly. Not quite as ugly as the Zelda OLED Switch, but still ugly.

Honestly, i.liked the Splatoon OLED the best.

@babybilly There was a big article today on Google about ps5 failures. This repair store has stated that the PS5 is likely the worst generation for hardware fails. He said his shop takes in an average of 10 defective PS5 consoles every single day. These were the top reasons he listed:

Overheating
Broken HDMI ports
Liquid metal cooling drying up
SSD failure.

I was surprised he said it's the worst generation he has seen.
I don't have a PS5, but my son does. No issues except he has has stick drift in two controllers.

I'm old...lol. I had the original PlayStation. After about 18 months, I had to flip.it upside down to continue playing discs. It completely dies around the 2 year mark. Imagine my surprise when I had virtually every main console from the year of their launch...still working like new. Even my Atari 2600. My Atari I got in 1980 lasted decades more than my PlayStation 1.
I had a PS2 fail.on me and my friends PS2...quit working after less than 3 hours.
Now, I waited and finally got a ps3 when the super slim came out. I can't remember exactly what year I got it...but it had Uncharted 1,2,3 and Infamous 1 and 2. Maybe 2012ish? Anyway, no problems ever. Never even overheated. And two of my kids played it hours and hours every single day.

I guess you just never know...it's like rolling dice.

I will say that the PS5 ...all ps5s have an expiration date. And that's the date that SSD goes bad. It's soldered and you cannot replace it yourself. Same with Xbox series X. So, even if the liquid metal never dries up. And the Ram never goes bad. And it never overheats, when that SSD dies...so does the PS5.

@Aneira @Aneira No, they weren't all garbage. A few weren't so great, but this one wasn't bad at all. The combat was fun. The sound and story were both good...although I couldn't never finish the game due to.that bug. This game is definitely worth $20.

These are the LOTR games I found good:

These two are in my top 10 games of all time:

1. Battle for Middle Earth 2
2. Battle for Middle Earth

These were both really good:

3. Lego LOTR
4..LOTR:Conquest
5. War in the North

These were pretty good:

6. Return of the King (PS2)
7. The Two Towers (PS2)

And LOTR Online is actually really good. I haven't played in awhile, but I read where it's getting better and better and gaining more players. Sure the graphics are dated, but I still found it fun last year when I played it.

Battle for Middle Earth 1 or 2. These are two of my favorite top 10 games. I wouldn't care which we got. I have to really do some work to get these to work on my laptop now.

Imagine Switch 2 mouse support and lan for up.to.4 people...I may not play another game for a few years.

Big pass for me. Doesn't look great at all.

@UndockedActionFemme 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I get it. The grail diary.

@SuppressorSteve exactly. I was shocked they compressed that to 20gb. I was expecting at least 50gb.
I'd be all for a black ops 1 and 2 game. Don't even need a remaster. Just clean it up and include split screen coop against bots. I'd be one happy camper.

Battlefield would be my dream, but the Frostbite engine is very CPU bound..which is where the Switch 2 is weakest.

@Serpenterror speak for yourself. I really want a COD game on Switch 2. It's the only newish console I own and I love playing against bots. I've been seriously considering selling my S2 and getting a PS5 or even waiting for the new Xbox. And I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I can't stand the Metroid games. Nothing like a COD experience. I love the older 2d ones on NES, SNES, and Dread, but I have zero interest in any of the prime games.

@Toastmaster except the reason Battlefield didn't come to the Wii U like COD BO2 did...was the CPU was equally weak in comparison. The WiiU GPU had plenty of power, but with the CPU being so weak and only clocked at 1.0 GHZ...several engines couldn't find right on it

@Kev_2610 I would. This is my #1 favorite series. All I have is a switch 2 as far as consoles. I don't think my laptop will run it well. This sucks

I realize it costs them $16 more per cartridge, but I really think jrpg gamers would be happy to split that with the company. I would. Would you all pay $8-$10 more to have a game on the cartridge?

@Galaxy2IsTheGOAT I know these are popular, but nothing that I'd be interested in. I've read they are extremely difficult. I have had multiple hand surgeries, so I'd get very frustrated. Happy to all those who love them though

@Anti-Matter Most every larger release will use key cards. Cartridges cost developers $16 each while key cards are free. I don't see smaller developers using cartridges because of cost. And larger developers because of space ,(max out at 64gb).

@Old-Red Man, I've felt this way as well. Because I tend to go back and play games from 15+ years ago. But, I've discovered that is coming to an end. Even if you get everything on the cartridge...err I should say Flash drive, the "cartridge" will not be good forever. They use a form of flash memory for the switch cartridges. They will not last 40 years like the old Atari 2600 and Nes games. I believe the life expectancy on switch cartridges is between 20-25 years. But apparently, DS games are beginning to lose data on some of the first ones out. There is one console, maybe Evercade, whose cartridges are crapping out already after only a few years.

So, I've had to try and put that collector mentality into the back of my brain...or I'd never buy anything and enjoy it.

@Anti-Matter what type of games do you play?

@Anti-Matter since I have no other newer console, I'd actually buy:

WWE 2k25
NBA 2k26
Star Wars Outlaws.

Not the least bit interested in Donkey Kong

I still only have Mario Kart. There aren't any other games I'm interested in outside of SW Outlaws that they have shown yet. That's okay though. I only tend to buy 6-8 games a year. Even though I've only logged 2 hours so far into the console, I really like it.
Hoping for a Port of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, age of empires, Forza, state of Decay, COD (I'd love to see a remastered BO2), Battlefield 6, SW Battlefront (2017&2015), Rogue Squadron remakes or remasters, and several.othets. I know some will never come out (Battlefront...but I bet those Jedi survivor and the other one come out 🤮).'

@Andy_Witmyer

PS4 pro :4.2 teraflops raw processing power

Switch 2: 3.1 teraflops raw processing power
(,docked)

@Jimmy_G_Buckets Hate to say it, but the series S is more powerful than the Switch 2. I have no pony in the fight yet, but the stats are as follows:

Switch 2 handheld mode. 1.6 teraflops
Switch 2 Docked mode. 3.1teraflops
PlayStation 4. 1.7 teraflops
Xbox Series S. 4.0 teraflops
PlayStation 5. 10.28 teraflops
Xbox Series S 12.00 teraflops

The DLSS will help some, but raw computing power is less

I agree 💯%. Still my favorite Zelda game. I played it on release week ..yes I'm old. The last Zelda game I cared for was Wind Waker. As beautiful as Breath of the Wild is, I just couldn't get into all the shrines. And the new one looks too complicated to be fun.

But how many Smurfin' players can play simultaneously? Two player split screen or four?

1. Goldeneye N64 (Just because of the nostalgia and innovations for it's time. My #1 N64 game).

2. Goldeneye Wii (awesome local multiplayer and great frame rate for 4 player split screen on Wii)

3. Nightfire (Bots, great maps, etc.)

4. Legends.

5. Goldeneye remastered (PS3). I know, not Nintendo.. but still awesome. I did like the wii version better. Maps were more open (less trucks, foliage, etc.) and it made it easier to pick out the enemies.
