I have just realised, given that you can play Metroid Prime/MP4 with separated joycons, that means you could slip the arm cannon cushion over your right hand while joycon is still in your hand. Then using gyroscope mode that will be incredibly immersive and silly. I can't wait for Jan 20.
@anoyonmus It runs the same as Hollow Knight did as far as I can tell. I decided to play on Switch 1 over Switch 2 because I find the Switch 1 more comfortable to hold handheld. I do wonder whether your save game can be transferred between the two versions, that would be cool
@tobsesta99 Because demographics still very much dictate profit, even though we may see past male and female in a social sense, it still very much is an important data point when it comes to business. For example, according to this data, Nintendo needs to make steps to understand why Mario isn't as popular with female gamers. If they can fix that while maintaining the current audience numbers, that will yield more profit.
The intermission tracks are part of the open world gimmick, so it only makes sense Nintendo is pushing this especially at launch. I'm sure in a few months they'll add new playlists or similar
@Jackpaza0508 I'm in the exact same position as you, couldn't remember my game login and was rushed to grab a pre-order. I think we can call/email customer services quoting our order numbers but we can't view the status of our orders easily. Anyways I've only had the initial email too and so fingers crossed we both get our Switches!
@jetsetradion Most people mentioning e-shop music are not joking, we are pointing at the lack of whimsy and soul that the post Iwata-San Nintendo era has. A bit of music on the system is just the tip of the iceberg and easy to implement to satisfy the nostalgia heads. Music is the most powerful medium for conjuring memories, so game system specific music allows people to remember the console itself. I know most people just wanna play games at 4k 999fps, but for some the hardware user experience is very very important. The Wii and DS era was full of brilliant hardware experiences, the Switch is just a soulless conduit to play amazing games.

Re: Nintendo Direct Announced For Friday, 12th September 2025
For once the app alerted me before I could find anything about it online. That was a frantic few seconds for journalists I'm sure

Re: A New Nintendo Magazine Is Seeking Your Support On Kickstarter Right Now
@Skippermonkey It shouldn't really have 'switch' in the title as it's not then future-proofed for new consoles that may abandon the switch name
Re: PSA: Do Your Switch 2 Joy-Con Disconnect In Docked Mode? It Might Be The HDMI Cable You're Using
@carlos82 Bluetooth Soundbars were a common culprit for this happening on Switch 1 because they are typically positioned in front of consoles

Re: "One Of The Slowest Modern LCDs I've Ever Seen" - Digital Foundry's John Linneman On Switch 2's Display
@HammerKirby
Oh I see!
Can it not take the 1080p quality that would have been in NS1 docked and put that on NS2 Handheld?
Re: "One Of The Slowest Modern LCDs I've Ever Seen" - Digital Foundry's John Linneman On Switch 2's Display
Is this why Prince of Persia: Lost Crown looks blurrier on Switch2 than Switch 1? Or is that a different issue?
MKW looks fantastic though so maybe it's just backwards compatibility issues
Re: Nintendo's Music App Is Back On Track With A New Album Update
I'm happy with this, it's a nice relaxing soundtrack that reminds me of the (relative) comforts of being stuck at home during lockdown
