@John_Deacon AP was also a tech demo to show some of the new stuff in PS at the time. But it was also a fully fledged gaming experince. Whereas this is literally just a tech demo and should therefore cost nothing imo. Not to mention the graphics look dull as hell and don't showcase the Switch 2 capabilities much, apart from perhaps mouse controls....
I bought the bundle because Mario Kart World then only costs 40 Euro instead of 90. Future Nintendo releases that cost this much I will only buy when they are in a sale or buy them with Payback points so they are essentially free. Hopefully third party games will remain affordable, i.e. 40-60 Euros or less.
So do any of the Switch games see any benefits at all on Switch2 or just the same? Is it only the specific Switch2 Edition releases like BOTW that see any improvements?
I disagree that we all need to chill out. Most of us can afford 10 Euro or whatever it is, but it just reeks of greediness from Nintendo and I am very surpised at them. Also, it just looks like a tutorial so yeah, no way I would buy this even if it gets knocked down in price lol. It should be free and Kart World and DK Bananza should each be 10 Euro cheaper at the very least.
I thought the games were going to be 70 Euro and was already on the fence, but if they are going to be 80 Euro that really makes me wonder whether to bother getting Switch 2. Certainly not a release day must buy for me anymore. If the games are discounted now and then down to 50-60 I would be a lot more tempted.

Re: Review: The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - The Best Way To Play, But 'Zelda Notes' Sucks
Well I hope it looks better when you’re playing it than it does in these screenshots because they look just as blurry as Switch 1.

I will watch someone play it on yt and save my money towards the other ridiculously high priced games.

Astro’s Playroom was also…..actually….really good……and really included at no extra price.

Only getting it if it’s released on physical cartridge and no game key! 😉

Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of 'Drag x Drive' For Switch 2 Are In
Looks so bland to me!
Re: Mario Kart World Is Reportedly The Smoothest Entry Yet
A stable 60 and 4K or close to it is good enough for me.
Also getting the bundle because I refuse to pay that price for the game later.

Re: Scandinavian Nintendo Fans Are Considering Flying Abroad For Cheaper Switch 2s
I went for the bundle simply because I don’t want to pay that ridiculous price for Mario Kart further down the line.
Re: Nintendo Won't Reveal Donkey Kong's Switch 2 Dev, But We Might Already Know
I really hope later levels are more jungle and DK-like. At the moment it looks like a cross between Odyssey and Zelda.

Re: Digital Foundry Says Switch 2 Running Switch Games At 4K Is "Quite The Thing" In Performance Breakdown
I am surprised at people saying there was technical problems with the presentation. My stream from the Nintendo official page didn’t drop out once.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price Has Been Confirmed
I think this is the first time I have really been disappointed with Nintendo. Actually, disgusted is a better word.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Direct April 2025 - Every Announcement, Game Reveal & Trailer
I really hope they change their mind about making that tutorial a paid experience. That just makes them look extremely greedy.

Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct?
Now I was able to vote. 9/10 but what I don’t like is:
paying for that tutorial?! No thanks.
70 Euro for games?
470 Euro for the console, should have been 420 at the most.
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct?
I can’t vote, I immediately see the poll results. ☹️
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Priced At $449.99 For The Base Console
Europe is overpriced, should be fifty euro less at least!
Re: Nintendo Expects You To Pay For Its Switch 2 "Welcome Tour" User Guide
Yeah, this was very odd, thought I must have misheard at first! Certainly not buying that lol.
Re: Donkey Kong: Bananza, A New 3D DK Adventure, Is Confirmed For Switch 2
Told you it should have been on the poll list the other day! Am glad it was this rather than a new Mario.
Re: Introducing PLAYi - A Whole New Way To Not Play
The trick with an April fool is to make the story at least half believable….
Re: Talking Point: What We Expect From The Switch 2 Direct
Shocked that a 3D Donkey Kong isn’t in the list.
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Direct For March 2025?
4 and that was being kind. Much more excited about Switch 2 news now.

I am torn between getting it on Switch or PS5? Never played them before.
Re: Expect To See The Switch Logo Pop Up In Future Xbox Showcases
@Sherlock- just the standard one, Yooka Laylee. Didn’t inspire me much to continue playing after about an hour’s play.
Haven’t tried Lair.
Re: Expect To See The Switch Logo Pop Up In Future Xbox Showcases
I just tried Yooka yesterday and got bored unfortunately.
Re: Random: Takaya Imamura Wants To See Star Fox: Assault On Switch 2
It will be one of the launch games showcased in the April Direct along with new Mario and Metroid Prime.

It is trolling @DuncanBalls.
Re: Japanese Charts: Donkey Kong Is Still The King Despite Diminishing Sales
Playstation 5 sold 12,873 in total. 🤨
Who can’t count?
Re: Japanese Charts: Freedom Wars Remastered Makes Its Top Ten Debut
See above comments from others @johnedwin
Sony headquarters are in Tokyo…and Sony Playstation also has a base there.
Re: Japanese Charts: Freedom Wars Remastered Makes Its Top Ten Debut
Worldwide perhaps but you would expect a much better performance in Japan than this.
Re: Japanese Charts: Freedom Wars Remastered Makes Its Top Ten Debut
Gosh, those PS5 sales are really bad considering it should be in its prime about now!
Switch just won’t stop selling, can see why Nintnedo was in no rush to bring out Switch 2.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Trailer Gives First Official Look At The New Console
And April?! Could at least have shown something more in the teaser.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Trailer Gives First Official Look At The New Console
I mean, it’s nice that it’s finally official but if that’s all you’re going to show then you could have given us that before Christmas!
Re: Review: Donkey Kong Country Returns HD (Switch) - Aping A Retro Classic

Re: Nintendo Breaks Silence On 'Switch 2' Image And Video Leaks
I am convinced the reveal will be either a day or two after Donkey Kong release, or the following week.

Woohoo, almost 100 thousand for the Switch.
Re: Japanese Charts: Super Mario Party Jamboree Is On A Roll
PS sales doing great….. 🤭
Re: Japanese Charts: Mario Party Jamboree Ends Dragon Quest III's Reign
Rubbish figures for Sony.
At this rate the Switch 2 will be getting pushed back to end of 2025 lol.
Re: Sony May Be Plotting A New PSP To Compete With Nintendo's 'Switch 2'
Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s out before the Switch 2 at this rate lol.
I do worry that the Switch 2 specs will be almost obsolete already by the time they finally release it!
