I got the bundle, was not exactly cheap so just playing MKW and Switch 1 games at the moment. Thinking of getting Fantasy Life or Azuma but in no rush as still have a backlog.
@Medic_alert I ahree that S1 should be nowhere near S2 but so far I haven’t seen anything good on S2. I only have MKW and that doesn’t impress me much, mostly because MK8 already looked so good and still does. Although I can see clear differences when watching side by side videos. I am sure in time better releases will come along, I don’t need latest and greatest graphics, just want to feel I made the right choice getting a Switch 2.
@roboshort I was lucky enough to get the presale invite from Nintendo so I managed to get one. I got the bundle because no way was I going to pay that much for MKW.
@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: Former Nintendo Execs Fear We Might Be Waiting A While For A 3D Mario On Switch 2, Thanks To Donkey Kong
I couldn’t care less if we have to wait years for the next big Mario. There are enough other good games!

Re: Fantasy Life i Scores Another Switch 1 & 2 Update, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Considering getting this game, does anyone have it on S2 and does it look good??
Re: Review: RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery Of The Soulless Army (Switch 2) - A Unique, Action-RPG Take On The SMT Formula
@Athropos unfortunately Cyberpunk is not for me. But played a bit more MKW now and enjoying it more. Am interested in Donkey Kong too.
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Direct: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate It?
I gave it a 9. Before I was thinking of getting it eventually down the line but now I will get it pretty soon.

Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Channels Super Mario 64 Energy With Its 'DK Artist' Mode
@Axecon Now THIS would have been better than Welcome Tour!
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Channels Super Mario 64 Energy With Its 'DK Artist' Mode
Brilliant idea I think. Some artists out there will surely come up with some great stuff while I try to make a DK mug or something.
Re: Review: RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery Of The Soulless Army (Switch 2) - A Unique, Action-RPG Take On The SMT Formula
Some of these visuals are making me worry about the Switch 2! They just look like Switch 1 games to me!
Re: Say Hello To Pauline In Donkey Kong Bananza
@Scarmucci Maybe I am talking about the reboots….! 🤭
Re: Say Hello To Pauline In Donkey Kong Bananza
Wow, it’s more exciting than Dallas and Dynasty put together!
Re: Say Hello To Pauline In Donkey Kong Bananza
Am more interested in this game now after the direct.
As for Nintendolife, do we really need five and counting articles when surely one would do? 🤔
Re: Best Nintendo Switch 2 Controllers
Why no mention of the Switch 1 Pro controller? 🤔
Re: Nintendo Reminds Us DK Is On The Way To Switch 2 Next Month
Am also not convinced yet as all we have seen his him bashing everything in sight. Also doesn’t look like much like a DK world to me so far.

Re: It's Official, Switch 2 Has Sold Over 3.5 Million Units Globally In Its First Four Days
Great news but am also disappointed with the high game prices. It means I will buy a lot less games for Switch 2 compared to Switch 1.

Have never played Splatoon but this new one might be for me.

Re: Review: Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour - Surprising, Delightful, And You Know Where It Belongs
I didn’t think Nintendolife would give this anything less than an 8 because it’s a Nintendo first party game.
I also think if it weren’t it would have gotten a six out of ten st the most.
I am curious to learn about all the different bits but still doubt I will pay money for this.
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.

Re: Video: "It's Actually...Really Good" - Our Hot 'Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Preview Take
I will watch someone play it on yt and save my money towards the other ridiculously high priced games.
Re: Video: "It's Actually...Really Good" - Our Hot 'Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Preview Take
Astro’s Playroom was also…..actually….really good……and really included at no extra price.

Re: Nintendo's Official Magazine Gets A Special Switch 2 Edition
Only getting it if it’s released on physical cartridge and no game key! 😉

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?
Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of 'Drag x Drive' For Switch 2 Are In

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: 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.

4 and that was being kind. Much more excited about Switch 2 news now.
