@Serpenterror I hope it never really "catches up" to Mario Kart 8. At one point, it is enough to sell basically the same game again and again and just adding new (or old) courses and drivers. Don't have the time or patience to play a Mario Kart game with 200 tracks and 500 characters/karts. And if Nintendo had continued like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, what would've been the expectations for Mario Kart 10? 500 tracks and 700 characters/karts? Where would it end? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
@Simu001 Oh, I strongly believe most people don't give any **** about sales charts. ๐คทโโ๏ธ Imo it's just for "gaming enthusiasts" to brag about "their" game being better than the others. ๐
@Anti-Matter I guess you can't even really say, why gamekey cards are "bad". And what if a new Animal Crossing is coming next year, but o new Switch 2 with better battery life? Are you not buying? And what if a new Switch 2 comes but the battery lasts only half an hour more? ๐ค
@nin10doom Personally I would just go fully digitally. I switched 3 years ago, because I realized, physically has absolutely no benefits for me anymore and honestly hasn't since quite a long time. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
@JoeyTS You're right about game sizes. But I think 3rd party games aren't the best way to compare them, since most of them won't do much if anything to optimize them on Switch 2. I was more thinking about comparable games, made specifically for each console.
@JoeyTS And Cyberpunk 2077 is around 90GB on PS5 while it's close to 60GB on Switch 2. ๐คทโโ๏ธ Also, that game is #3 on Switch 2 eShop charts, so I HIGHLY doubt the success is because of it being available fully physically.
@HexagonSun I can not stop to wonder, how people see Mario Odyssey in this game? The movement seems completely different, the core mechanics look completely different, what are people seeing to make then say, this is basically Super Mario Odyssey 2? ๐ค
@Grumblevolcano Really? Nintendo hyped up the announcement? And even so, what has this to do with a (highly) possible involvement of EPD with DK Bananza?
It's highly possible that EPD were working on this and I definitely wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be true. But why would Nintendo be so secretive about this? Maybe it's NOT EPD aftet all? ๐ค
@anzzjam If you believe waiting a year or so before buying a new console protects you from potential issues, then you can do as you wish, of course. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
@anzzjam I had my Switch for over 8 years. It's time for something new. Thank you. ๐ By the way, can folks like you even buy ANYTHING? I mean, there is always something new coming and there can always potentially be issues. So where do you draw the line and say:" Okay, NOW I'm buying a new console, or whatever."?
@Tyranexx It's TWO users. And one of them his Switch 2 has a bulk on the complete other side, where the battery is. So it's really ONE person with a (potentially) swollen battery.
@NintendoByNature This "bending by overheating" was absolutely nonsense. They 100% received the unit like this from the factory, but did only notice it later on.
LOL at everyone here believing if they wait for a new model, they couldn't potentially have this issue. ๐๐๐ While very rare, battery swelling can happen with EVERY device.
@TheBigK "Kart feels like you're driving through glue when you wish you could immediately stop and change direction on the fly." Now we are getting a little bit silly, aren't we? ๐คจ
