Why in the world would you buy a used/second hand Switch 2 this early in its life cycle? All but guaranteed to have some kind of issue, as that would be the only reason someone would sell theirs this early

Part of me says wait for second iteration, even if it’s 2-3 years away. My Switch 1 backlog has that much time if I try to complete it. But I mostly play in docked mode so the screen issue is not a big deal. Though I see what they are talking about pretty clearly, and I am the type that has a hard time differentiating frame rates and such. So I know it’s noticeable, and kind of a “once you see it” annoyance

Xenoblade Chronicles X

I think and hope they go somewhere completely different with Mario. Since the Switch 2 is really just a Switch Pro and they didn’t get too inventive with the hardware this cycle, do it with Mario and Zelda

Also, hopefully they push the Switch 2 specs to the max with Mario. If that means it’s a few year off, fine. Mario Kart World was developed for Switch 1 originally.

Yeah I’m sure Nintendo has one primary dev team that can only work on a single game at a time

Do we know the game is going to be big though?

I don’t mind shorter games, and it really has little to do with how great a game is anyway

Sounds like I’m the same age as Ollie. Got Gamecube when it released early in high school. Luigi Mansion is the game I played most at first. Wind Waker and Prime 1 probably my strongest memories. I will always say Gamecube is the best Nintendo console. But I’m partial. I will not waver on the FACT that the Gamecube controller is the best controller ever.

I’m sure there will be an entire Direct for it. Can’t stand the box art for Switch 2 version. Put that extra stuff on the back of the box.

Acting upset at Nintendo because they didn’t put somebody you don’t personally know in the credits is trying waaaayyyy too hard to hate on Nintendo

Terrible company

How about a Direct announcing more than the 3 games for Switch 2

I think Bananza will benefit greatly from the fact that everyone pretty much only has 1 or maybe 2 Switch 2 games.

Looks like when Kirby eats the flying glider

I think your races or times should have some kind of star if you use rewind

It’s kind of a Switch Pro. But if they called it that sales would be minuscule in comparison.

@Don I think it’s pretty safe to say that Nintendo is at its best when it’s back is against the wall. That’s kind of how nature works. Fight or flight puts organisms into superstrength overdrive.

My hope and prediction is that they are going to make the next major Mario title truly innovative. Since they didn’t do that with the hardware this time. Do it with the flagship series instead. Plus, I think there isn’t much left to do with the 3D Mario formula. I have no idea how they push it to a new level, but if they can I will have a lot of faith restored.

In about 3-5 years, Sony is going to magically discover that the PS2 actual sold a few more million units

My backlog is still too substantial to replay any games. But Witcher 3 is on it so I will be playing that on Switch 2

The new voice just lacks much character imo. It’s just kinda, weak and thin

@WiltonRoots sales look to be about as good as Nintendo hoped. Jokes on the haters. They can keep crying into the void as we enjoy the epic new MK

A lawsuit over a pinched finger? Give me a break. These people have never suffered any kind of hardship in life

That’s look super easy….. not. And sounds like you need a special tool

Great piece! I definitely went in blind to Xenoblade Chronicles and the fact the game/planet surface is a fallen creature was very interesting. And then you kinda spend all game trying to conceptualize what “part” of the body you are on in the back of your mind.

Have played 1-3. All great big games. But 2 and 3, especially, just didn’t do it as much for me as 1. I’m currently playing and 60 hours into XCX Remaster and it’s won me back over. Love the combat and able to clearly/easily follow the story far. LOVE the world/map and exploration aspect.

My big question is am I really on the surface of a planet, or is it another fallen giant? Excited to find out

Just don’t take it with you rock climbing because you might lose it if you set it down

Maybe they were thinking of doing a Splatoon Direct this week hence the rumors. But decided just to announce it

Sorry but I hope they get all these “updated Switch 1” games out of the way pretty quick. I at least hope they aren’t devoting much manpower to them. For a company that already relies heavily on remakes over and over, releasing games 2-5 years after the original with pretty (IMO) minimal updates just doesn’t interest me at all. But I know a lot of others care more than me about frame rate, resolution, etc

Actually, I’ve completely worn the rubber off my left joy con stick, but the right not nearly as much. So this isn’t completely useless info/idea. Don’t think I’d ever mix and match, but since you can buy joy con separately it’s not a bad feature to have

@pr0d1gy1980 kind of amazes me Nintendo customer support us not open on weekends? Especially THIS weekend. That’s bad.

Xenoblade Chronicles X on Switch 1

I enjoyed XC 1. XC 2 and 3 not so much mostly for the over the top and hard to follow story and unnecessary changes to combat. Xenoblade X is much more like 1 to me. Simpler story and better combat. Really enjoying it.

God also intended you to play with detached joycons, so docked is the only way!!!

These buttons seem easy to push without meaning to

I never use GameStop because so often if you buy a “new” game there at full price they have already removed the shrink wrap and stuck a sticker RIGHT ON THE BOX.

Sorry but I think they are terrible and this was no surprise at all. I will walk into a store and buy my Switch 2 where I can inspect the box has nothing applied to it or been opened

And there is stock at all the big stores around me. I knew this and it’s why I didn’t pre-order. Because pre orders often get “sticker star’d”

@Zufolobelisk uhhhh the point of this is exactly what you said- nobody is going to do this themselves so this guy did a video of it for everyone to see

The stickers are pretty lame tbh. I could see those starting to peel many years down the road

I loved Hot Shots back on the PS1 or 2 can’t recall. Golf is one sports video game I may play every few years. If reviews aren’t really high for this I’ll just wait for new Mario Golf

Great jam in this trailer

@Uncle_Franklin
Exact same here. I enjoyed it. But it just wasn’t memorable at all. Hardly remember playing it tbh and it was just last fall. No desire to replay it either.

Detached joy cons for life

Maybe Limited Run Games will release a physical version

I liked how music would fade in as you got closer to each village/area

Tarrey Town was indeed great

I deeply regret selling consoles and games in the past. And I hear this from almost everyone. I’m in a better financial spot which helps but if you can, I advise you to try your hardest to hold onto your old games and consoles. It’s not worth it. Try to save money in other ways. Put off getting the Switch 2 for a while. Do whatever you can because it’s one of my biggest regrets selling my Gamecube, Advance, etc

All the Switch 2 games will still be there for you to buy a year from now. If you are older than a teenager you should not experience FOMO anymore, either

Switch 2 only has 3 games Ive added to my log. Mk, DK, and Elden Ring. I still have about 15 on my log on Switch. I will wait a while.

@Koda1000 you know there is a very extensive built in “Game Tips” menu for Xenoblade X DE?

MarioKart 64 is the best multiplayer video game ever

I think she will be a perfect fit. Hard to think of anyone better now that I think about it and look her up.

Link will be the tough one to cast.

I’m all for this! She would be a great choice. Very good actor, looks just like Zelda now that I think about it.

I still won’t care that much about this movie. Every Zelda game is different and movie should do it’s own thing too. Can’t go into this hoping it will fit YOUR expectations of what Zelda is.

She looks the part for sure! I bet she would be a great Zelda

@sanderev an option to go to a home screen at any time. Just also an option to bypass it from the start

I know, first world problems. I absolutely love that it takes like 2 clicks and 3 seconds to jump back into my game whenever I power my switch on. So I’m fine if Switch 2 keeps everything the same there

Just give us option to get rid of Home Screen anyway. I turn on my switch and immediately open whatever game I’m playing. I spend 1 second on menu
