@DarthFoxMcCloud As long as the current version is updated enough it shouldn't require a Switch 2 updates as long as they optimized the game that would work as well since this isn't released yet.
@pikachupikachup In the UK (not where I live FYI), MKW costs 90 euros physical. Digital is still 80 euros. Can you provide links to sites selling that rate?
@fsoft Don't know how you can say Nintendo is failing when they have 150mils Switch 1 consoles sold and over 1billion software sales? Show me in these figures Nintendo is to fail???? Not to mention there are 2.2mils Japan consumer waiting and NA is sold out until after June 5, how is that also a wanting Nintendo to fail here? People need to remove themselves from their echo chamber and do some honest homework research before making wild baseless claims here. I was around let's see Commodore 64, and Atari and Ace Tandy computers and wanted NES when it came out but couldn't get one.
All three companies been doing this from Day One launch of their consoles with their EULA/TOS has anything changed from that heck NO. It's all in their EULA/TOS they have the right to enforce their EULA it's nothing new. People are making sounds like it a DayOne new thing.
@killercereal This to me is a decent compromise. You still get the box and a cart of sorts.. Better than everything just being a download. Hell a code in a box is better than that.
Contradictions upon contradictions. Code-in-box isn't better having "Key-Card far better. CIB is tied to Nintendo account and if you don't want it anymore nothing you can do about it. I got the Switch editions Physical and just buy the upgrade. I get the best of both worlds Physical/Switch 2 upgrade and play on Switch 2 that is better then Code-in-Box.
@SirLink One doesn't understand this never came to Switch 2 what are you so hung up on really. It's already complete Physical on 64gb cart. Any updates or DLC will be eShop download. No, your just making excuses and hating on Nintendo Switch 2 basically.
@HHappyGoose88 More of the same, just more expensive. Very Nintendo-like indeed.
Probably not following the gaming news but Surprise Xbox/PS are doing more besides game price hikes...Consoles anyone.
@sanderev One doesn't understand a Publisher, Stop making assumptions here. They can make it "FULL" cart and charge accordingly they have no excuses here. They can make multiple SKUs one "Key-Card", (dreaded) Code-in-Box, Full Cart game. And let the consumer choose. There was that so hard to do? That will force Nintendo to make Switch 2 carts as 1gb to 64gb options if they want to see the Publisher's game.
@timp29 I did read somewhere people bought the PS to watch movie because it was relative inexpensive to game and watch movies on. That's what sold the PS system.
And fiscal year doesn't end at December 2025 but in 2026 so they could by that time have 20+ mils unit sold assuming tariffs doesn't jack prices.
@NolandC *to many fan boys eating this crap *
Huh? This is a Nintendo site what are you spouting about here?
@SaltySpitoon957 Not even a Key-Card release? Really? Typical 2K. In totally agreement just give a Key-Card. They can fit it on a 64gb card and just charge for it. Or tell Nintendo give us 1gb up to 64gb card or no Switch 2 games???? It's the Publishers whom decides this not Nintendo-if enough of them makes it known Nintendo will do it. But they got no "balls" to do this.
This is why "Investors" have no clue what Innnovations means anymore. They most likely benefitted from the previous generations whom owned stock of Nintendo whom the stocks came from and lived off but didn't do their own "homework" to know what and ins of how to run a business to start with.
one investor questioning whether the Switch 2 is a "bridge" to a more innovative next-gen console yet to be announced.
Called unintelligent investor-Need say more.
NS2 isn't going to get a price drop more like a price rise. The Switch 1 OELD will most likely get a price drop to forcast NS2 is going to become the goto Hybrid Console to have. Now if we only can get micro exSD price drop and more inventory this will be something nice.
Why are there Nintendo haters using WiiU comparison again that has no relevance to Switch at all. Assuming the production keeps up they could hit that target number.
I'll wait til deep discounts before even buying from EA as they can't even seem to put a cart game physically to be had. And what they did to Split-Fiction is just blasphemy.
@HammerGalladeBro That be the first thing I do get my S&V and see what it does. And restart BOTW/TOTK with updates and ugh getting Harry potter for Switch 2....and get some of my Switch 2 and see what I can do then. Can't MKW yet because during that week until Sunday is when I will have time to Switch 2 but I will get my gripcase and Screen protector setup first before playing.
@TwinFami That's what a Hybrid will do you can dock when you can and take it on the move whenever you feel like it. Desktop gaming isn't what it used to be anymore.
@Ultimapunch I don't know why people would want to put a tech company's camera in your house. You might want to ask that of your SmartPhone or Wifi appliances.
it won't provide a great deal of competition to the Switch 2. Like current PC handhelds on the market, they appeal to a completely different audience
That's what it is two different audiences that game on completely different platforms. It's that the Switch 2 can now cross-over to XBox games ported to Switch 2. This increases XBox revenues and gets more people into the portable gaming. That's probably not the final iteration of the unit itself.
So it's not like you'll be getting complete strangers joining your GameChat sessions, but an extra safety measure is always appreciated.
It's also been confirmed that children 15 or under will need to be approved via the Switch Parental Controls smart device app before using the GameChat service.
They are approved by a family member of 18 years old and in your family group and parents approval. So what are they really looking for? This is so convoluted it sounds more like 1984 then anything really related to security. It's like the iPhone face checking and your Smartphone listening and watching you. This has no bases to stand on.

So it's not like you'll be getting complete strangers joining your GameChat sessions, but an extra safety measure is always appreciated.
It's also been confirmed that children 15 or under will need to be approved via the Switch Parental Controls smart device app before using the GameChat service.
They are approved by a family member of 18 years old and in your family group and parents approval. So what are they really looking for? This is so convoluted it sounds more like 1984 then anything really related to security. It's like the iPhone face checking and your Smartphone listening and watching you.
