Please, for the love of God do not allow this merger.

The Switch is interesting because it's not as impressive because it's not a new idea... But if you can retrain your brain to be fair about it it's almost better in every regard. I hate the magnetic connector and I do think some of the features are costly additions I won't ever use, such as HDR and 120hz. But it's just generally a better version overall.

The faults truly come in through bad decisions by Nintendo and third party companies. What really hurts the system the most is the fact that storage is absurdly expensive and game key cards hurt preservation.

I don't do any piracy or emulation of new systems but Nintendo is seemingly begging me to do it with these bad choices. Now a lot of this is because humanity is completely Stupid now worshipping at the font of LLMs, and that's not Nintendo at fault, but how much do you let these meta issues affect your assessment of a product? Where do you draw the line and say this is when you can't lower the value or rating of an object of review? That's a philosophy question that needs to be answered and understood before having this discussion. Much in the same way you had to grapple with the N64 using cartridges versus CDs when comparing N and S in the 90s.

I don't know what to think of the system beyond the fact that I'm satisfied. Bananza and Cyberpunk were extremely enjoyable on the system, as was the Simpsons Fortnite. And the mouse controls are something that begs for a proper mouse controller hybrid to push to the next level.

But ultimately I wonder now is the Switch 2 going to be able to compete with Steam moving forward when you want to sit in front of the TV due to price.

Most of my gameplay since buying the Switch 2 has been with Switch 1 games and I can't say I needed to have this system. But for Cyberpunk the experience was more enjoyable because I didn't have a hot laptop on my lap, and Bananza couldn't have happened anywhere else. Kart world was a horrible disappointment, but so was deluxe (for me.)

But I am using the system and having fun so I can't rate it less than acceptable. The Switch 2 is a better system than nearly every system I have ever owned but I don't think of it as fondly as many flawed systems of years past and that's an academic concern.

If you're wondering if you should buy it, I would say you should if you can afford it. But ultimately what we will remember are the games and I only see one game that could only be played on the NS2. Bananza. Is that enough to justify a purchase? I would say no. But we also know that someday the games will come.

Ultimately the system is a 94 out of 100 when all is considered and what you thought of the system coming in is still true, we just all know that all things considered the system is still excellent.

Kart in the right place?!? Sorry but Mario Kart World really sucks. I don't think it should be said that's the right place for it. I just don't see the love for it.

If only the Switch came with it's own screen... I mean is this a joke?

Too bad it's still totally missable due to being a game key cards.

Too bad they didn't update the personality.

The other games made by this company got really cheap in not that long. I learned my lesson and will pick this up later on.

I am kinda depressed because I found I really liked the Simpsons fortnite. It was my entire month and now I'm playing regular fortnite for the first time and it's awful. That game treated my depression temporarily and now it's gone and I'm so bored idk what to do.

Fortnite is Simpsons now

@MontyCircus I know, and "50 million cigarettes users can't be wrong."

How many people have played Chrono Trigger, or Illusion of Gaia? These lists are always just billboard top hits. I shouldn't even open them.

What a brutal review.

The Mario movie was okay in that there's not much to Mario in terms of story so there was no risk of damaging my mental canon. A movie about Zelda and Link can only reshape the entire zeitgeist around the games and I'm not looking for that. I will never be seeing this film because I don't want things re-contextualized.

Putting Skyward sword over the OG... That's a crime. Skyward Sword was so terrible.

I'm sorry, but while OoT is amazing, I don't think it's the best one.

@squiddu-real I didn't know that. Maybe because I don't want so I think they're all installed.

They already told you if it was physical or digital by leaving the virtual cart icon empty with dotted lines... I'm confused.

I need to finish the awful dlc for sea of stars so I can finish the main game.

I remember these. Especially that Independence Day one.

@masterLEON That's a lot of words to justify something that is just propaganda.

PC games that sold 350k copies kept free online for years. But you think the company that sold a billion games last generation needed the money more.

You're not going to convince me they couldn't have done that, not that the 50 I paid for a multiplayer only game wasn't enough to cover the only game mode there was to play.

In my opinion Nintendo tricked me into giving them money for a few month rental. The amount of damage they did to my faith in them precluded me ever spending money on their online service.

But whatever, no one on the planet cares about me, least of all a trillion dollar company.

@masterLEON Every single Nintendo game and PC game before that was free online play if it had it. The only pay to play was on Xbox.

I was the first person at school to have Pokemon because I was a Nintendo kid. I got blue and got 150, then got yellow. Then I got the second gen and was bored with it and never finished it.

I don't know about the other games, but I just feel like Pokemon didn't ever want to be a game for anyone above the age of 15. Not saying adults can't enjoy it, but it's just not a game that ever grew up

@masterLEON I didn't watch that and it doesn't say it on the box.

@breach187 I mean, Sega went out making quality games. Microsoft doesn't seem to be doing that.

Halo is to be made extensively with AI according to Microsoft. They could put Halo on the Atari 2600 for all I care because I am not buying it.

Microsoft has become corpo non grata to me.

Bluey on the Switch, Hooray!!

@PrettyPatrick I have your wallet Pretty Patrick.

@AStupidID I wish I could buy negative games. But stealing from them isn't even worth it.

@Ultimapunch This is why I buy old. New is garbage.

@Fordy2000 my guess, because it's a licensed IP. 30 bucks US. 25-27 Euros/pounds.

I am going to wait. I think I payed 30 for physical Scott Pilgrim and now it's 5 bucks.

Honestly, they basically have all the characters I'd want, except for Nightcrawler.

Patches mean nothing when you're pretty much forever done with a game.

Unless there's a massive single player campaign revealed I'm not buying. The game looks to be quality, but I am not a young social person who can take advantage of this game.

That happened to me with the original. It was a fun multiplayer game at the time when personally all my friends were done with that.

Almost never happens, but when it does it's always original hardware.

This week it's not Balatro, it's Sea of Stars!

The Pokemon must be selling.

I feel so bad for KC who made that comic strip and no one knows it. I'd feel so bad if I made something and the Internet just took it without any credit or compensation.

Even though I read all his work, I'll buy this just to give back to the person.

@AussieMcBucket I always said that if you don't feel compelled to finish a game or play it anymore, it wasn't very good.

@AussieMcBucket which one was gold? Was it the second one? I have a hard time remembering. I loved red and Yellow as an older kid, but I was already bored and never finished the first follow up mainline.

I'm very surprised to see this website give one of the Lowest reviews from a major website.
