The hybrid console has been a giant of a seller for Nintendo. No way in dell they are dropping that concept after it's success. I love the concept. Also, the console price was about £25-£30 more than expected for me. Maybe in percentage terms that isn't a lot. But the software physical prices are mad at the moment. Hopefully when retailers start competing against eachother they go down. I can see me going mostly digital unfortunately which now goes onto the question of express SD cards. They are NOT plentiful enough at the moment. That will pose a problem! I think it will sell well intially, but I hope it doesn't go the way of the GameCube in terms of sales eventually. That was a powerful console of its time as well. Luckily I don't have a PS5 yet, so I may be able to "afford" it a first
I am happy with GC games coming to NSO on Switch 2. That was major news. However, it'll be disappointing to think we'll probably never get the Windwaker HD port on the Switch 2. It is the definitive edition of the game.
Paying full price for the game again so soon is a no no for me. We have an excellent version on the Switch 1 which has been scored quite highly across the board via reliable reviewers and even generally.
Switch 2 version I'm sure will look really nice but this a little bit taking the micky out of consumers.
How about new games SEGA (Yakuza O, Two Point Museum, Raidou -nice one) or a Nintendo like graphical upgrade pack?
Also, software prices for Switch 2 will be quite high won't they? Between £66-£75!
I always get a protective housing case for my handhelds since the 3DS XL era. I actually might get bothe eventually. One for home general play and one for travelling (with the case). Screen protectors too.
The household have played Mario Kart 8 DX extensively. You'd expect the majority of those tracks to feature again in MKW or at least many new ones appear? No?
I love ShadowxSonic Generations but I'm not buying a Switch 2 version when I can play the Switch 1 version on the same console (?). Yeah, upgraded visuals and all, but it's the stellar gameplay which I love.
Raidou and Yakuza 0 please.
Surely we get the stellar P3Remaster on the Switch 2!
Some real surprises as to the 3rd party ports there. Hopefully we see them soon and well optimized. Silksong, MK World, Kirby announcements and 3D DK were highlights, but a lot a very interesting stuff there.
Not interested as of now in "enhanced visual remasters" of NS1 games.
Could have seen more first party stuff, was surprised we didn't.
Also microSD express cards aren't plentiful and not produced in that high a storage yet.
I must confess as being ignorant to the existence or potential existence of a Borderlands 4. Good news. Not top of my list, but welcome as part of the library to choose from.
I'm not as familiar with this game as others. Other than "knowing" the name of the game and that it was apparently a fun 3D platformer.
It sounds like a polished remaster actually and one for 3D platforming fans as well as those who want to relive nostalgia. The mechanics working nicely is the key for me.
However, I have a metric tonne on my backlog so this will likely be a discounted purchase.

Re: Talking Point: Zelda: Wind Waker Is On Switch 2 - Do You Still Want A WW:HD Port?
The Wii U HD version is the definitive version for me. So yes, absolutely. Can't see it happening for some time though.
I agree with bundling it with twilight princess HD (another definitive version).
Re: Some Fans Are Drawing Unfavourable Comparisons Between Switch 2 And Xbox One
The equivalent xbox iteration sold poorly in comparison to the Switch though?
The positives outweight the negatives.
Interesting article though. Bit funny too.
Re: My Nintendo Adds A Switch 2 Reward (North America)
Why do I see an inevitability in this? 😆
Re: ICYMI: Switch 2 'GameCube Controller Adapter' Compatibility Confirmed
I have the PowerA wireless one for Switch 1 and the Wii GC controller with the 8bitdo adapter. Hopefully I'm good.
Re: New Ridge Racer & Unreleased Retro Studios Project Crop Up In Leaked Switch Dev Kit
Yes a new ridge racer game would be welcome
Re: "Nothing's Perfect" - TOTK Might Still Struggle On Switch 2, If You're Building Crazy Mechs
Not bothered. It will obvs still look and play stellar
Re: Upgrade Pack Price For Zelda: BOTW And TOTK Has Been Confirmed
I may buy them outright at that price.
Re: Review: Rift Of The NecroDancer (Switch) - Imagine If Guitar Hero & Ikaruga Made A Baby
TBF, it's a good Indie series and this is no surprise. I don't think I'll DL it until later on and with a discount mind you. Too much to play.
Cheers for the review.
Re: The Switch 2 Won't Have Achievements Or eShop Music
I'm not chuffed with achievements. eShop music would have been sweet, but hey ho

So if you have the original switch1 game and NSO+Expansion then....?

Re: Mario Kart World: Course List - Every Confirmed Track

Both look sweet. Especially MKW of course!
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Game Upgrade Pack Prices Seemingly Revealed (Japan)
That seems okay. I got it wrong before thinking we had to buy an entirely new game. I have some things to finish off in TOTK despite "completing it".

I love ShadowxSonic Generations but I'm not buying a Switch 2 version when I can play the Switch 1 version on the same console (?). Yeah, upgraded visuals and all, but it's the stellar gameplay which I love.
Raidou and Yakuza 0 please.

Re: Oops, Yoshi's Woolly World Featured In Switch 2's "Compatible Switch Games"
We will need the extra content from the 3DS version to make it definitive and worthy of a double dip
Re: Bravely Default Is Finally Freed From Its 3DS Prison, Coming To Switch 2 At Launch
I liked the game on the 3DS. I'm not sure I want to double dip though. It's good, but not THAT good
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergrade Is Making The Leap To Switch 2
Insta-buy. Awesome news
Re: Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion Arrives On Nintendo Switch 2 This September
Yeah. Couldn't get into the demo of the firsy game. Would have loved a proper mech game which it seemed at the time. Will monitor its sequel though.
Re: Nintendo's Switch 2 'Game-Key Cards' Somehow Manage To Make Codes-In-A-Box Worse
Not buying physical for this. Ridiculous

Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct?
7 /10 or a 7.5/10

Re: Donkey Kong: Bananza, A New 3D DK Adventure, Is Confirmed For Switch 2
3D platforming DK is back for the new gen?! What?! I'd do a Diddy Kong summersault if I could.
Re: Sakurai's 'Kirby Air Riders' Is Speeding Onto Switch 2
Did not play as much of it as I should have back in the day. Redemption awaits. Good news again.

I must confess as being ignorant to the existence or potential existence of a Borderlands 4. Good news. Not top of my list, but welcome as part of the library to choose from.

Re: GameCube Games Confirmed For Nintendo Switch Online On Switch 2

Re: James Bond Will Return To Nintendo Switch 2, IO Interactive Confirms
I'll need more info and footage on these before consideration. Interesting news again, though
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Confirmed For Nintendo Switch 2

Re: Val Kilmer, Acting Legend And One-Time Video Game Voice Artist, Has Died
A great actor. So many good performances and a very recognisable face in film. 65 is too young. Rest peacefully and thank you.
Re: The Switch 2's Screen Isn't OLED, But It Will Support 1080p/120fps Gameplay
Some LCDs look as good if not better. But we shall see. The butter smooth fps potential is welcome. Hope devs design games to achieve it
Re: Standard Micro SD Cards Won't Work On Nintendo Switch 2
Dangnamit. That 1.5TB card I have spare isn't an express. Ah well, more expense. Lol.

Re: Listen Up, Mii Are Officially Back And They Now Have Ears
The Wii U Miimaker creator app was my most used app of all time, lol. Made all kind of weird and wonderful characters.
Re: Nintendo Showcases Every Switch Direct Game In New Infographic
Insta-buys: Metroid Prime 4, Pokemon Z-A, Tomodatchi Life "2", Rhythm Heaven, DQ 1-II 2D-HD.
Most likely : Gradius Collection, Raidou, AI Somnium Files game, Marvel game
Lots of other good looking games there though tbf

Re: Nintendo Download: 27th March (North America)
Probably nothing for me this week unless the reviews come up with a "surprise" for me.
EDIT: Bubble Ghost reminds me of the excellent Soul Bubbles DS. I'll look into that one
