Honestly, standard micro SD cards not being compatible with the Switch 2 was one of the major reasons why I decided to skip out on this console.
I don’t want to mess around with having to copy and move half a terabyte of data from my old 1 T card to a new (and pricier) card and then figure out what to do with the old one.
I don’t care about the “rich” open word aspects of Mario Kart World if that’s what justifies the $80 price tag, I just want to race and throw shells at people
I know it’s all speculative, but that is lame as heck if true. It’s just another reason why you should go all digital with this console!
At this point, I’m happy with what I have with my OG Switch. I’ll maybe grab a Steam Deck during Black Friday time to play third party games at a great framerate, but I’m going to skip this console out. Have fun, everyone!
I don’t know if I’ll be playing much this weekend, but I DID find some used copies of Xenoblade 1 DE and Xenoblade 2 yesterday, as well as a physical copy of Suikoden 1 and 2. I went and sold a bunch of stuff at my local Disc Traders store, and it came to almost $300!
Honestly, between the game prices, upgrades likely costing 20 dollars, physical games not really being physical anymore, AND normal micro SD cards being incompatible, I’m seriously considering either waiting several years to get the Switch 2 or skipping out entirely and opt for a Steam Deck instead.
Great day for the most insufferable people on the internet.
Seriously, Atlus, don’t try to fix what isn’t broken! Persona 4 Golden is on everything and aged perfectly fine, it’s Personas 1 and 2 that need remakes more!
I started Devil May Cry on the Switch last week, and played the first two missions. I like what I’ve played so far, and would like to continue this week. I’m also still going through time attack and mirror mode in DK Country Returns HD. Currently in the Forest World.
I might take advantage of some sales soon, mainly the Capcom Switch sale to get Resident Evil 4. I’ll also maybe get Trails in the Sky and Trails of Cold Steel while the Steam Spring sale is going on.
This court case is certainly going to be interesting, but I’ve completely moved on from Skullgirls at this point.
What started out as a love letter to pop culture and anime was morphed into safe, FGC friendly crap. And Marvel vs Capcom 2 is available now on modern platforms, so what’s the reason to keep playing Skullgirls other than the story?
Doing the time attack challenges and mirror mode in DK Country Returns HD. Currently in the Ruins right now. I will also play Balatro. On the Switch version, I’m trying to beat the red deck on Blue stake.
I just bought a digital copy and played through the first two worlds. It’s great! The game is just as fun as when I played it many years ago.
I will say, even though $60 is a steep price, especially for a Wii remaster, adding the button controls and exclusive levels from the 3DS version while having the 60(ish) FPS from the Wii version definitely makes this the best way to play the game as of writing.
@jake1421 Honestly, I’m thankful DK is getting anything at this point, especially this late into the Switch’s life. I’m sure they’re cooking up something new for the successor.
They have to be doing a new collection or something. Since Sega’s delisting Dreamcast and Saturn games from Steam and Xbox, I wonder if they’ll release new and improved retro collections when the Switch’s successor inevitably drops.
Please let Digital Eclipse be involved in them, too!
I will certainly use it. It’s nice to finally have official means to listening to Nintendo music.
However, the current lineup of music is not enough! Nintendo has to bring out more music pronto if they want me to use it over YouTube, and I don’t mean drip feed soundtracks ala NSO retro games.
@TimeGuy I’m against censorship, but my religion tells me that pornography is bad. Fan service in video games and videos on [insert naughty site here] are two completely different things.
As someone who is very anti-censorship, I’m not too worried about the changes made here. I’m just grateful that of all stories to be rewritten / reanimated (I guess), it was Generations. The story even in the original version was a whole load of nothin, so it doesn’t really affect the experience for me.
What I am worried about is how future remasters / remakes of Sonic games will go down. Can you imagine an Adventure 1 remake with a “modernized” Amy Rose? Or what about that rumored Heroes remaster?
Going to be playing Sonic 1 and maybe CD via Origins Plus while waiting for Sonic X Shadow Generations later this week. I will also be continuing my adventure in the Link’s Awakening remake. I got the second instrument needed to wake the Wind Fish.
I’ll also maybe check out some games that came out this week, like Blazing Strike and Neva.
I’ll be doing some achievement hunting as the Noise in Pizza Tower. I was able to do the Halloween event and nab the exclusive skins for both Noise and Peppino, so I believe I now have all of the costumes!
I went back to Sonic Frontiers and tried to wrap up the Final Horizon before Sonic x Shadow Generations comes out in a few weeks. I like playing as the other characters, but I may prefer the base ending a bit more. I’m at the King’s trial right now. 🫠 I’d like to beat Sonic Adventure 2 before Shadow Gens comes out as well.
And still making my way through Shredder’s Revenge as Mondo Gecko, with the new soundtrack

So is Puyo Tetris Doubles the only “new” thing with this rerelease? If so, I don’t see how Sega can’t bring it to other platforms through DLC

Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom at 60 FPS, plz Nintendo

Re: 'Nintendo Music' Update Adds Wii Sports Soundtrack, Here's Every Song Included
That’s cool and all, but only one soundtrack a week is too long of a drip feed.
Seriously, Nintendo can put out so much more across all of the games they’ve made! I’m still gonna rely on YouTube for Nintendo music

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (2nd November)
Will be mostly playing Sonic x Shadow Generations, but I would like to make more progress in the Link’s Awakening remake.
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st November (North America)
I was initially interested in Clock Tower Rewind… until I learned Future Club helped with the new “anime” art.
I’m not supporting them after what they’ve done to Skullgirls.
The new Metal Slug game looks great, though! I’ll certainly get that eventually.
Re: So, Will You Be Listening To The New Mobile App Nintendo Music?
