A bundle with Metroid could change my mind, but after seeing some gameplay it looks like a Zelda (solve temples to get gear) with a new skin.

@Jonnybaz I started gaming in the short lived 4 bit era, but turned to the C64 later on. Even before Nintendo was a video game thing, so no chance.

@Jonnybaz
Well, I guess I would win the age competition as I am 55.

@Jonnybaz I played the PS5 Hogwarts version for 1 Euro last year, as I found it on the flea market.

Physical rocks!

Even with those sales they cannot sell me a Switch 2. There is currently no reason for me to buy a Switch 2. Well, beside Dinkum, which has some major Frame issues on my old switch. Dinkum is the AnimalCrossing we ever wanted. Explorations, mines and the evolution of features.

@Clammy Nothing like that. I did not even look the DF video. I just saw the trailer and build my on opinion.

I don´t let others dictate what I think is good or not. I saw the available videos and it is not even close to a modern game. Where did all the cpu and GFX power disappear. This looks like a 10 year old Pokemon game. In fact like all Pokemon games before, which BTW are working better on Switch2 than ever.

How can it be that complex RPGs have cool cities and nature sites, while Pokemon is so dull.

Just take the Xenoblade version from the Wii. Yes, the Wii! It has a lower resolution, but the world is filled with life. NPCs, enemies, nature, stunning waterfalls, dense forests and awesome villages. Now 20 years later Pokemon games look worse than that, just in an higher resolution. Where is the progress? There is none, because it is Pokemon. It sells and it does not even matter how old the game technique looks like on a modern machine.

The 2D Pokemon isometric conversions looked and felled ok. Just like the Zelda Diorama versions, but these "modern 3D Pokemon worlds" are just embarrassing. Especially on modern and up to date hardware as a new product in 2025.

Textures of buildings with 16 or more windows, which all look the same and you turn around just to see the same windows on a different building. The entire city is boring, empty and it looks dull.

Now look at Xenoblade, or basically any other RPG. They come with a huge filled and rich world. There is also fighting, NPCs and enemy´s. It is possible even on Switch 1. There is no excuse.

NPCs vanish and appear within a very short distance and there is no voice audio.

Why? Because it is Pokemon and it sells itself anyway.

Stop buying this. That is the only way to make them change anything.

I played it more than any Mario Party game. It was fun!

Nintendo made the game ***** by having additional features locked behind a play-wall. You needed to play x rounds before the game unlocked further features.

anyway, after unlocking it is a good game. I liked it. It was fun!

How happy they always about day1 updates are. As if that is a positive thing.

@Warlenos I expected Pikmin 4 to get the Missions and the bingo battle as two player modes with new online support. And they dropped all two player modes. What a shame! Why am I paying for Nintendo online?

Where is BingoBattles? I have 500+ hours in that mode alone playing Pikmin3 Bingobattles with a friend. Sometime 12 hours long through the night on weekends.

It is about time that every game does this.

In Germany it is available in almost any electronics store.

MKW did not make me buy a new console. I played it and it was kinda boring.

Imagine playing a brand new Mario Kart and after two races you have enough. Yeah, happened for me the first time, too.

Still waiting for the one game that sells me a console.

A Metroid bundle maybe.

If there is a console bundle with this game, I am in.

Could be the kicker for me, but I am patient. Till now there is no game that gets be to buy a Switch2.

Uhh, I cannot wait for Drag X Drive an longer. It will be a new smash hit.I want a physical game. I am so hyped. I cannot wait. NOT!

The case has weight. The magnets have a fixed amount of force.

Result: Less force to keep the JoyCons attached.

After seeing live game play I came to the conclusion that the game is not for me.

Basically it is just running around and smashing to find stuff at a price point of 80 Euro. Nah, I´ll pass.

I just wonder, when someone hacks the system and disables all consoles at once.

Having such "switch" build in, even so it requires server side actions, makes the system vulnerable to attacks.

Love this game, even if they were clearly "inspired" by Zelda and AnimalCrossing and got the rest from Snackworld, which is a highly underrated Level5 game, too

@Runex2121 Because they have the display a home and don´t see a point in throwing it away just to buy a new one.

Would you dump your three year old petrol car, just because there is a new electric version of it? This isn´t even a proper example, because many people would to depending on home charging and mileage.

And no. I am for sure not very young. I am probably much older than you.

@Runex2121

> so, who doesnt have atleast a 4k tv? They are like $100 for cheap large ones now

Ah, so I have to dump my old tv? Ohj, wait. I am playing on a monitor. And in FullHD. Not only Switch, but also PS5. Fun Fact. I know many people playing ps5 and switch. but noone has a 4K display of any kind.

@Rueckkoppler The Killswitch is not a dock. It is just an extender cable inside a plastic stand.

Well, we have magnets, which are specific for the JoyCon weight. One cannot expect to add weight and havie the same strong connection.

@cvrator There is a paid DLC and it is massive. You need a 4K display which supports HDR, a ProController or a battery Grip for the GL and GR buttons and a WebCam to play everything. I guess they show Amiibo there, too, so get one, too

GameKeyCard should be a con point

@bstie1198 It is not about "if". It is just about "when" stick drift will appear.

Nintendo used the same old crap in ProController and JoyCons. The only thing they changes is the dust protection. This may delay drift a little, but as long as the prongs within the controllers are rubbing on the contacts, the dust will be created internally and this dust won´t get out. Dust causes more abrasive action causing more dust and boom drift.

I assume it will be faster appearing on Switch. Mainly because the old JoyCons and ProController are compatible. This results in the use of the original Switch2 controllers in non multiplayer sessions. The more controllers are used the harder stick drift will hit.

On Switch 1 people bought a second or third pair of JoyCons. This caused splitting the game time between all of them. -> It took longer until stick drift appeared.

@DTFaux Because the sticks technology is smaller these days.

Back in the days the used potentiometers and the contacts were bigger.

@SirLink I put in hall effect sensors from GuliKit.

They work perfect, but are a little expensive. For the pro controllers on Nintendo and PS5 i used cheap ones from AliExpress. 50 Cent each. They work perfect. Updated 2 Switch ProController and 4 PS5 DualSense.

The new ones will break, as well as the old ones. The contacts are smaller, which of course causes less rubbing on the graphite tracks but there is also less contact area. In my opinion this will break as fast as the old ones.

I heard the hurray about the pro controller using alps branded sticks. It in general has bigger contacts and will last longer. The alps factor may add also a few years, but ALL controllers using metal on graphite "technology"
will break at some point of use.

In total I expect even more stick drive on switch 2, as the old ones are backward compatible, so people won´t buy a ton of them. On the other side they will mostly use the new ones and the result will be drifting.

I replaced all my sticks in Nintendo Switch ProController, JoyCons, PS5 DualSense controllers and I don´t want back. The feel is so much better. Especially the JoyCons are more precise to use.

@Simu001 The covers are useless. The sticks are boxed anyway inside the JoyCon. Degrading increases due to graphite getting loose from the rubbing tracks. This dust is increasing the issue as the metal prongs are now also rubbing the dust and using it like sandpaper.

It is a GameKeyCard, so no test required and a no buy.

I 3D printed a case inlay for switch1 games. It gets inserted into a normal game case and holds 10 game cards.

I found it very useful as you can stick one game case into the normal console pouch. Far better than these fiddly card pockets in most console cases.

Sunk already over 30 yours into this came. It is great.

However It takes noticeable ideas from Zelda and AnimalCrossing, which is not bad at all as it leaves most of the bad things out.

I love it.

While my Switch2 hype is far below zero, I want this games badly. Currently only the lack of a physical release is stopping me. It even battled Expedition 33 into the ground on my want play list.

Physical only in Japan (Switch and PS5) is a bad thing.

I would love this on a proper media. Level-5 did Snackworld, which was great and never needed any update. It is still V1 on Switch.

GameKeyCards everywhere. No thanks!

@-wc-

No? They just sold more than they got. Other companies do it the clever way. They use 50% for preordering (without paying) and 50% for store selling.

Nothing is worst for a shop than having customers leave without the product they already payed for. At least in Germany the are more or less gone for good.

At switch 1 launch some people pre ordered at the local game shop, too. It was fun to see. "Yes, you preordered. Yes, you paid. But we are already out of stock." Saying that people where pissed is an understatement.

Gamestop is sold second hand games around 2 Euro lower than new games in the Mediamarkt basically downstairs.

Now they are closed. I wonder why?

I still want a switch 2 without display, joycons, batterie and dock.

We had a SwitchLite. Why we did not get the opposite. In the end the battery of my switch is broken, without being used and even my display is brand new. Waste of resources.

@Medic_alert

The game cards are NOT FLASH! That would be terrible. Those are ROM or WORM Chips.

Flash is loosing content over time when not powered on. Thats why SSDs are not suitable as a long term backup drive in storage. Flash memory also not only dies slowly when writing, it also dies (just much slower), when just reading from it. So a game card would even destroy itself when used long enough. Your precious game boy cards would be toast already, if they were flash.

This "code in the box" crap is not even useful to replace a broken game case as the card holder inside is missing.

The WiiU Version was good. The Switch version simply had no online gaming. It is all fake. Just set up four switch with four games and play. Let everyone say the current position and when they overtake. It will not match. The entire first round everyone is #1. You also feel collisions and do not see the overtakes right after. It is all fake.

The WiiU Version worked fine in that remark. The Switch version was just a single player experience, where the real winner was gambled out at the end.

So i would skip this one, until someone confirms the network stuff is legit.

2025 will be the year of the ps2. Hundreds of games are still waiting in the shelf to be played.

"Retro inspired visuals" and I am out of the door.

It is just a cheap trick to save time and money. Just one tree to draw, just one of everything. I was there in the 80th playing 8 bit games. I know how that looks. It makes sense for actual remakes, but not for new games which have no reason to have outdated graphics. If I would make a bigger game I would probably have done the same. Why? Because I cannot paint.

@StewdaMegaManNerd Thats my point. The Argument is *****. An analogue button can be checked just like a digital button. You even can set up the sensitivity.

How the hell did we survive the PS2 times?

Nearly every button was analogue and noone was thinking the inputs were delayed.

I got an invite shortly after the direct and deleted it. Yesterday I got a second notification that I can pre order now.

Not a chance I fall for that. I bought two switch 1 on day 1 and will buy zero switch 2 at day1 and probably even year 1 due to the pricing.

Paying that much stuff I never use for that intense pricing is pulling me off. I don´t need a display, I don't need a dock and I don´t need the entire mobile ***** like JoyCons and Batter. Give me a reasonable priced console block HDMI and other connectors for TV use only and I would bu, but not this and not now.

Just the games? The entire pricing tastes like *****.

I got the invite mail right after I found out about the prices last week. Next I had a long lasting laugh and pushed delete..
