Well I’m here for the 3 big AAA Nintendo in house games. Mario kart world DK Bananza Metroid prime 4 And hopefully some more before Christmas. And they will all be played docked only on a 65” QD OLED.
@Serpenterror Well it would not confuse me having a home console version and would be a lot cheaper. And the option would be great.
They would definitely sell many of them especially for those wanting a second home console that would cost around £250 ish to get those Nintendo AAA in house exclusives.
Let’s look at this another way. You are being forced to buy an handheld version of a console Switch 2 with no home console cheaper version for £400 for 3.1 tflops of power.
Why didn’t Nintendo also do a home Switch 2 version for say £250. So others just playing at home docked could enjoy Nintendo games with a cheaper console home model only. They are no angels Nintendo they are a cut throat business.
At least the PS5 at £430 has 10.2 tflops of power.
Should have put a little effort in to make this full wide screen for modern TVs. Very LAZY indeed Nintendo. Such a great game and deserves wide screen and so do us gamers paying for it.
Running 120fps really is a waste of resource and time would rather stick at 60fps When playing games on all the console the jump from 30fps to 60fps is amazing so smooth and responsive but the 60fps to 120fps if you spot it the difference at all is minor, it’s to do with the human and how it works it can only do so much. That’s with the series x and PS5 so the switch 2 will be no different. I think Nintendo are doing this with MP4 and MKW just to stay trendy with Sony and Microsoft, total waste of time.
I think the 3.1tflops of the switch 2 have gone into the 24 karts on track and the wider courses and field of view etc and some other minor look improvements.
Still wish Nintendo had done a home switch 2 version for about £300 would have been a great entry into the switch 2 and Nintendo games just as a home console. It maybe even cheaper than £300. I only play docked and feel I am paying extra for the handheld side of the Swtich 2 that I don’t require. They could have easily done this with the switch 2 pro controller as it already exists.
Most consoles are reasonably priced. Though the PS5 and series x should have had a price reduction by now and the PS5 Pro is a little steep but they deliberately stuck 2tb ssd in it so you pay £100 for another forced 1tb of ssd memory else the console would £600 or less instead of £700, smart ole Sony.
As for the switch games I got the MKW bundle so that’s good. DKB at £57 digitally sounds ok to me. Will be interesting when we get a new MARIO platform game and Splatoon 4 to see they get priced at.
But we pay £1000 for a top smart phone or £4.00 for a coffee that’s gone in minutes or £50 for a football or concert ticket and that’s the cheap seats that is finished in 2 hours.
So us gamers are not doing to bad price wise overall.
Totally rubbish so much difference in what was said and definitely how and where it was said the situation. Don said what he said right after a drubbing from Sony on how to share games and not having to be always online. That’s was funny and a middle finger to Xbox at the time.
Even to this day some want Xbox to fail, which they sort of have console wise.
What Doug said was about cost and alternatives to Nintendo games.
Anyway won’t make any difference to sales, not as much as this whole USA and Canada tariff business delaying preorders over there.
@Multi Glad you all got one. I did the same last week when preorders went live on Smyths toys. Got myself MKW bundle and pro controller. Mentioned it on here and a few more gamers managed to get one. ☝️
Console etc all fine and release games May and June. MP4 release date? What about after from Nintendo studios A couple or at least one big AAA before from N studios before Christmas 🎄 Where’s my 8 plus year wait for a new Mario 3d platform game? Software and mainly for me Nintendos big AAA software make a Nintendo console.
The only thing I would say and I know some say it takes away the Switch 2 ethos.
But just a home version could have been made In the light of increasing prices. At say a price of £300, cleverly putting under the PS5 digital.
I maybe think it might happen with the switch 2. The switch 2 home maybe.
I would have preordered that version instead of the Switch 2 that I have pre-ordered anyway, but if after a year or two sales are slower than Switch, which I think they will be at switch 2 home could inject sales.
@dartmonkey Thank you. Dam shame would be so much better using the full screen. They should have done this and do this with all GameCube on switch 2 games. Would be nice if they made a little bit more effort.
@dartmonkey Quick question is wind waker full wide screen display for modern TVs? The picture taking up the whole screen or have we got black borders left and right?
Switch 2 with MKW bundle pre-ordered. Switch 2 pro controller pre-ordered. Family plus expansion covers game cube And Zelda upgrades. DK Bananza will buy digital. That covers me for summer time.
My family pack has just come up for renewal. So thought dam it and went the family pack with the full expansion. Used my remaining gold coins so got it a bit cheaper as well.
So have the whole lot now ready for my preordered switch 2 MKW bundle.
I would maybe imagine also like Sonys own studios. When Nintendo release switch 2 only new in house developed games they can make even better use of the switch 2 internal speeds and loading times.
Digital games should be cheaper than physical of course because of less costs and a shop profit. It’s the right way round, all other companies take note.
Managed to get the switch 2 MK bundle preordered last night in UK, so all good and great price for the game. £30 I think it works out with the switch 2 bundle. Digital of course.
Just keeping an eye on Smyths Toys to see if the switch 2 pro controllers go up. Not to fussed about sd card yet as switch 2 as 256gb internal memory available.

Re: Opinion: The Switch 2 Is A Powerhouse For The Price
Also you would around £150 for a family of four to go to a theme park like Alton Towers.
And that’s just say 8 hours leisure time.
A game could give a family of 4 at £70 many more hours entertainment overall.

At this rate with all this stuff going and with preorders in other countries as well they will need to rename the console.

Would have been great.

Re: Opinion: Oh No, I'm Not A Fan Of Switch 2's Mouse Mode At All
I actually stay away from the joycons overall anyway as I’m a docked gamer.
So mouse wheel means nothing to me and a total waste of product cost.
Give me the pro controller anytime.
