Want to bet they'll sell a budget Switch 2 for 300-350€ in 2 years. A more efficient Switch 2 in 3 years. And an OLED Switch 2 in 4-5 years with a 7.2" screen at the low low price of 550€.
I don't like that excess of greed, whether it's Sony with the PS5 or Nintendo with the Switch 2. I don't think I'll buy it at launch.
The wish list is still there. It's better than the PS5 website at launch. Nintendo just discovered the internet existed a few years ago, but they can't do worse than Sony with their eShop.
Calling Switch 2 suggest they have finally settled on a console model that works well and won't mess up every other generation.
Had they call it Super Switch, I would worry about the Switch 64 losing ground to a new competitor and the Switch cube... I can't really picture how a cubic handheld would have worked.
What more would you want on the home screen? Unwanted advertising all over the place?
It's not as if you spend any time on it, it's just until you choose a game. The plain design works quite well and it starts as quickly as the old cartridge consoles. I can't complain.
Meanwhile, Nintendo is still not aware competition exists since sega stopped making consoles and they are doing a perfect job ignoring it selling more Switch than any other console ever (yes, Sony is full of crap with their PS2 numbers)
TBH, I'm only interested about the games. It'll be a new iteration of the Switch, with few improvements. All I want is a new 3D Mario, a new Zelda and Metroid Prime 4 as a Switch 2 exclusive within the first year (I know a main Zelda entry won't come for at least 2-3 years, but let me dream)
You know how good Monolith soft is when they included a unpatented PLAYi in XC3 that didn't require the definitely 100% real PLAYi computing unit. Or maybe the Switch is infinitely more powerful than we all thought?
3 letters: NDA. Nintendo is probably asking for such reparation if the silence is broken, nobody will mention the dev kit until tomorrow, or launch day.
Sakurai spoke the truth. Japan should never water down it's art for western audience. And I mean any art, whether it's music, games, food, etc. Everything is better over there, no exception.
This is going to be bad... Ganon a warlord? Not Ganondorf? And Link is usually a nobody, not a warrior. Who knows, maybe a blue guy will come out when you rub the Triforce.
This is when rumours can't be believed. Why the old gen? It's obviously to link 2 switch 2 so this generation can reach 300 million units sold! And sony will swear they sold 320 million PS2!!!
I guess there is more censorship in the west than in China. Good to know. Maybe Tencent will be an improvement.
Not fan of Ubisoft anyway. They've been going downhill since AC Black flag which was an incredible game. Every AC that followed was worse in terms of gameplay and story.
At some point you have to realise that TPC is like that special kid with crutches. When every single step is a misstep, you know TPC will never walk normally.
@Daniel36 France was lucky enough to have the Club Dorothée which had some (slightly famous) anime like Dragon ball, city hunter and other. But it was overly westernised and poorly translated with all the names changed. As if they were trying to hide the fact that it was Japanese.
FYI, if you use a hammer to get the Wii U disk inside your switch, it runs in 4K 120fps with ray tracing, even in handheld (it somehow upgraded my screen). Just try it, you can trust me.
An update is always free. DLCs and upGRADES aren't always free. But you should never feel the need to specify that an update is free. Unless it's EA or Ubisoft, one day they'll charge for bug fixes
Western games are pretty bland in comparison, mostly because of modern censorship and politically correctness (aka wokism). That's why indy games have become better than AAA games (unless they rely on one of those despicable "consultants").
Sony definitely needs to listen to Sakurai's advice.
I can already imagine the Nintendo direct in April:
"The Switch 2 will feature a real life all out brawl! It will be on sale at your local retail in 3... 2... 1... May the worst humans get their hands on a Switch 2! Good luck (with the OG star fox voice)"
@Kiyata I'm guessing it's the same people who invite Instagram girls to have fun with dogs, camels and several old men? And I mean, definitely doing PG13 stuff.

Re: ICYMI: Mario Kart's Iconic Track Looks Set For A Return In World
It wouldn't be mario kart without it. Like F-Zero without Big blue (still waiting for a new entry btw... Anytime now)
Re: Nintendo Appears To Have Given Its Game Cases A Makeover On Switch 2
Attention to details is expected from Nintendo. It's what they do best.
Massive unexplained oversight is also expected from them, so I'll keep the popcorn handy.
Re: Community: Which Switch 2 Games Are You Wishlisting?
I'll wishlist the unannounced next Zelda. Donkey Kong seems like the best in the entire franchise, but the price of the console is too high.
I might wait for a discount before upgrading. I not in a hurry. I've got a PS5 with some of the game announced on Switch 2.
Re: Opinion: No One Is Talking About The Switch 2's Best Feature
The best feature is its ability to play the coming generation of Nintendo games.
That's the biggest strength in any Nintendo console, and I'd take a cheaper console with fewer gimmicks over this overpriced console.
Re: Switch 2's Jump From OLED To LCD Wasn't A Decision Nintendo Took Lightly
Not to mention the catastrophic battery life.
Want to bet they'll sell a budget Switch 2 for 300-350€ in 2 years. A more efficient Switch 2 in 3 years. And an OLED Switch 2 in 4-5 years with a 7.2" screen at the low low price of 550€.

Re: Hands On: Should 'Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Be A Pack-In Game?
2% trolls answered "Nope!". Or maybe Nintendo infiltrated this websites... Nintendo life is compromised!
Re: The Switch 2 Will Emulate Switch Games, Because It Shares No Internal Hardware With Its Predecessor
Emulation is less efficient than running directly on hardware. So in which universe does it save battery?
Re: "DROP THE PRICE!!!" Scream Nintendo Fans During Nintendo's Treehouse Live Broadcast
I liked the post Wii U failure nintendo better. Now that they're coming out of another success, they are getting way too greedy
Re: Sale Predictions Remain Unchanged Despite Switch 2 Price Concerns
I don't see how it will sell as much as the switch at this price. Unless they release a low end entry in a year or two.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price Has Been Confirmed
I'm not even sure I'd play it even if it was free. So, hardest pass on this one.
Re: Nintendo Devs Reveal Some Big eShop Improvements On Switch 2

Re: PSA: Switch Online Includes Switch 2 Edition Upgrade Pack Access At "No Additional Cost"
I'm beginning to think Nintendo secretly hired Sony's communication team. It feels like they omitted most useful information.
Re: Switch 2 Was Very Nearly Called 'Super Nintendo Switch'
Calling Switch 2 suggest they have finally settled on a console model that works well and won't mess up every other generation.

Re: Check Out Donkey Kong Bananza's Beautiful Switch 2 Box Art
It feels like Wreck-it-Ralph with bananas. Looking forward to this one.
Re: Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion Arrives On Nintendo Switch 2 This September
The first one looked so boring, I was never interested. This one looks much better, but I'll wait for reviews. I won't be a console seller for me.

Re: Nintendo Drops Teaser Video For The Switch 2's 'C' Button

Re: Introducing PLAYi - A Whole New Way To Not Play
Also I'd recommend some moisturiser + a drop of tea tree essential oil for Navn Mann. Impressive makeup

@Skunkfish So that's your lie for the day? You used it on something trivial. I respect that.
Re: Rumour: FCC Filing Hints At Switch 2 Pro Controller, And It May Come With One Big Upgrade
I really hope I can keep using my old pro controller on switch 2 until it dies.
Re: Rumour: More Switch 2 Development Kit Rumours Emerge Following Report Of "3-Phase Launch Plan"

Re: Random: Fantasy Life's Animal Crossing Parody Starring 'Tim Crook' Is A Good Laugh
The day of unlimited stupidity has begun. The average IQ is below zero for 24 hours... I didn't miss this
Re: Nier Automata's Dev Was "Ordered" To Ignore What The West Thinks Of His Game

Re: Rumour: Zelda Live-Action Movie Will Reportedly Be Part Of A "Trilogy"
This is going to be bad... Ganon a warlord? Not Ganondorf? And Link is usually a nobody, not a warrior. Who knows, maybe a blue guy will come out when you rub the Triforce.
Re: Talking Point: What We Expect From The Switch 2 Direct
Hopefully they won't curse Metroid Prime 5 by announcing it too early
Re: Talking Point: What We Expect From The Switch 2 Direct
All this wishful thinking and not a single mention of F-Zero. I'd like a new Nintendo IP, like a sci-fi action RPG or an adventure game.
Re: Rumour: New Switch 2 Rumour Makes Wild Claim About Mysterious 'C' Button
This is when rumours can't be believed. Why the old gen? It's obviously to link 2 switch 2 so this generation can reach 300 million units sold! And sony will swear they sold 320 million PS2!!!

Re: Legend Of Zelda Movie Release Date Revealed, Coming March 2027
Hopefully they will do a reverse Disney and make an Anime remake of the live action in a few years.

Re: Chrono Trigger's Lifetime Sales Have Now Surpassed The Five Million Mark

Re: Minecraft Is Getting A Graphics Upgrade
I bet people can't wait to play it when it releases on Switch 4. This looks like the graphical upgrade that was cancelled years ago on XBO.
Re: Chrono Trigger's Lifetime Sales Have Now Surpassed The Five Million Mark
5 millions almost seems too low for this game. I wonder how many people played it on emulator since it wasn't released in Europe.
Re: Random: Xenoblade Chronicles X On Switch Has A New 'Sex' Warning, But Why?
Maybe they added a secret adult mini game with the mechas? Like legos
Re: Random: Lego Mario Kart Fan Creates Astonishing Real-Life Track

Re: The Reason For Balatro Dev's Anonymity Is Pretty Straightforward, Actually
Not everyone wants to be a public person. I perfectly understand his behaviour, and I'd probably do the same if I developed a game.
Re: 'The Knightling' Packs Plenty Of 3D Zelda Vibes Into New Release Date Trailer
At least it seems better than Fenyx rising. But I'm not getting those Zelda vibes, which is a good thing to avoid disappointment.

Re: Niantic Sells Pokémon GO And Entire Gaming Division For $3.5 Billion
Niantic is now owned by the Saudi Arabia government.
I honestly think it's weird to see video game studios owned by government, regardless of which country.
Re: Star Fox Veteran's New Game Is Channelling Serious Lylat Energy
@Spider-Kev Don't mislead other people. The gameplay is nothing like Starfox.
And it's boring as hell. You spend half the time shooting at static object and the other half following the next objective.
Re: Celeste Composer Releases "Concept Album" For Studio's Cancelled Follow-Up, Earthblade
Weird angle for a Yamsha meme. It's sad to see a project from obviously pationate people get cancelled like this.
Re: Rumour: Xbox Expected To Join Switch 2 With A New Handheld This Year
So far, it has sold as many units as the Switch 2. Well done Microsoft, you can definitely call this a success.
