@AussieMcBucket It may sound stupid but this was such a major factor in my getting a switch 2 this early.

I can't wait to give the witcher 3 a go on switch 2. While I do have it on pc which is obviously superior, having it in the go for longer journeys is fantastic. All one needs is a powerful powerbank and you're good to go

It looks fine by me. A definitive upgrade over my launch Switch. I never got the oled version so I'm absolutely fine with it. Its shapr and the size is so big the bezels arent distracting which was my biggest worry.

Edit: maybe I should record my screen in slow motion too...... nah I got games to play

This never happened to me.... definitely not.....never........ especially by accident no no.... I am absolutely flawless at mario kart......Source: Trust me, Bro

@Kwyjibo_Kitsune omg the switch 2 sucks!!!! Dont buy it!!!!!......Guys nintendo fumbled my pre order!!!!!... Guys I got the Switch 2 on Launch day!!!!! I camped for 8 Hours straight!!!!!
These guys and many more in a nutshell. But that was kind of expected from them. One that that did suprise me was Mutahar as he always seemd to live by what he preaches but now Im getting off topic.

As far as drifting goes it seems to my untrained eyes that the red and blue parts around the joysticks serve as covers. Basically the joycon 1 sticks were open if that makes sense so drift could easily be caused by dust particles getting into the stick sensor unit. How effective the covers are remains to be seen but they do help with making the sticks feel smoother.

I got mine yesterday and I'm happy with it. The ZR/Zl buttons are a bit wiggly but this seems by design, if it were a huge issue it would have made the rounds online. So far mario kart is a blast (shocking I know) and playing botw in 60 fps is just chef's kiss. HDR I havent noticed much in Handheld (I dont have an HDR TV.) It is exactly what I expected, a stronger switch. Also the new magnet system for the Joycons is fantastic, though the little holder needs some getting used to.

I hope mine won't have this issue....Hopefully it can be fixed via Firmware updates

I remember having the version with Ocarina of time as a second disc. To this day itnis onenof my favorite games. I don't think I have the Gamecube game anymore so glad its officially available again. NOW LET ME BUY IT!

Can't wait to replay wind waker (it's been a while) and playing f zero gx for the first time (never owned it back then).

Man, oh man yakuza. What a series. I never got on with judgment (that doesnt mean its bad). But this series can get absolutely ridiculous and over the top, which may put people of. Glad to read that this seems to be the definitive version. I sarted on ps4 but never finished it, so I may give it a 2nd try here down the line.

I can tell you when mine arrives on Tuesday. Buuuuut, since I dont have it yet, I havent had any Battery issues..... Ok, ok, I'll get my coat.

God the animiation looks.....barebones. Whats it with games based on animated shows and then the games having terrible animation?

@larryisaman Oi, I wanted to write that. You hit the nail on the head. Mine's slated to arrive on Tuesday and I look forward to it.

Ooohhhhh nooooooo. The switch addiction has gotten worse! First licking game cartridges, now you're smelling the vents! Whats next?! This preposterous!

I have no ida about components but its just interesting how we manage to create such complex yet tiny things as microchips etc. It's also very very interesting in seeing it all put together. Plus I find such vids satisfying.

@Late nowadays it feels more like. Lets just get preemptively angry at everything. Feels liek outrage culture or something like that. It's one major reason why I try to avoid social media as much as possible.

Thankfully mine havent developed drift.
But they developed a noticable groove and the tops wobble ever so slightly. Hmmmmmm

Actually that's very thoughtful of them. You see they prescratch the console, that way your own first scratch you'll make won't hurt as much. 🫢

Their world designs are always top notch. So if you have experts like monolith at hand it makes sense to use them. Not only will it help other devs to branch out, it keeps the quality on a somewhat consistent level. While the previews seem mixed on the open world aspect, I personally look forward to have a relaxing ride around the Mario World.

I think its BS too but then again all my games on PC are digital now. On consoles I have gone mostly digital aswell. Switch has been mixed but woth switch 2 im gonna go all digital aswell.

So how toxic is the community gonna be? MOBAS are notorious for their toxic communities. Plus I'm not sure if Deagonball is a good fit for a moba. We'll see. Hopefully the community that builds around it is gonna be a good one.

Im not jealous! <-(Is really jealous).
Me thinks I'll get mine on friday

I get that people were and are frustrated with this game (or perhaps the series as a whole). As for my 2 cents, the ship has sailed, left port and unfortunately didn't make it the journey. Maybe one day I'll try again but there are other games that get my.attention. Cant wait to play Botw and Totk at hopefully a stable performance as that was a big gripe for me.

Yeah ofcourse they do. I mean it's out in Australia. Maybe I'll catch one and watch a bit.

A modern console with snappy menus? I thought the day would never come and what is that?!? The eshop doesn't take 2 eternities to load? Finally! This is such a huge QOL improvement.

Do you feel it. It feels as if thousands of Backlogs are criying out and falling silent.....

@jkirchgessner07 I like the idea, but I wonder how one would incorporate platforming levels i to such a design. Unless these would be seperate levels.

So is this the purrrrfect kart racer? Or is it meowdiocre....or is it a catastrophe..... I'll see myself out.

But can it run crysis?.......(I know it runs on switch but let me have this tiny nostalgia moment).

I can't wait to see what Nintendo and other devs coax out of this one. A more powerful switch just what I asked for all this time. 😊

Mine is due to be shipped by the 5th and thus will arrive on the 6th. So yeah glad I was erlay enough to not land on those who get it by the 17th by their (my store) estimation. Though if mine would be delayed I wouldn't mind as much since I will get the bill when it is shipped. So no money lost. Hopefully as many orders as possibly go through for all who did preorder.
Edit: To clarify I'm not from the us.

@Pak-Man Yeah same. It's insane to think about.

@axelhander God forbid, I as an Adult make a decision on where and how to spend my money. There are worse thing to buy than a piece of entertainment software.....

@Ryu_Niiyama Do you also sell signs and Torches? I'll buy 2 of each!

Sorry but any racing game that isn't pure arcade and goes for a simulation, needs analogue triggers. Not just for acceleration but also for breaking or clutch. Switch 2 is gonna miss out on racing sims due to this. I mean remember grid? You needed tu use the right stick if you wantet throttle control... not ideal at all.....

@Anti-Matter I highly doubt it....

All I'm really missing is analogue triggers. The switch 1 joycon sticks just felt flimsy in general and the plastic hook that keeps them attached wore down quickly. My joycons dont drift but the dont hold on to the console well and 1 pair slidss of easily during play. Which sucks. Also the seem to wobble as in the shaft of the stick is stationary but tthe top part as a slight wiggle to it. Oh and ove rthe years they've developed a groove on the shaft of the joystick so.... long story short, bring on the switch 2.

I can't wait to explore the map and find easter eggs and secrets. Even though open world can be ovuerused or mabe is overused, I think Mario Kart going this route can offer a lot of stuff. Since it isntbasd on realism it can get really creative without it biting the artstyle like maybe the crew or the forza Hot wheels dlc. (These aren't bad though). Anyways jsut looking foward to seeing all there is to see.

@AndrehF see that would make sense but apparently that's not what Execs are going for. Therefore I have dire news. Digital will either cost the same as physical or be even more expensive, becuase imsure they'd find a reason to justify that.

I've noticed the switch 1 joycons making aound while palying golf story. When the golfball lands in the hole it made a sound. At first I thought it game from the game but nope it was the joycons all along. This is actually pretty nifty. Switch 2 sounds like a good improvement over its predecessor and I'm looking forward to getting mine

I'm sure people will be very civil about this and there will be no fighting and behaving like utter .......

@Baker1000 Agreed, they should be around the same size like the PS Vita boxes. I hate oversized plastic boxes for tiny cartridges

I'm not sure if I'm happy about this outcome gameplay stuff shouldn't be patented imo. I mean @Jeronan said it in his fitst comment. Gliding on animals or in general has been a thing before nintendo. I fesr that this'll have far reachin repercussions. Hopefully not but its nintendo..... :/

I'm wondering if mario kart world will have the evergreen staying power of mario kart 8 deluxe. Time will tell

Never got far i to the first ine but thisnlooks really cool....maybe I'll bite.

That's cool. I love stuff like this. Now I can write in Monke😁

I have mine pre-ordered but the retailer alrwady i formed me that they may be getting the switch after launch so oh well. The switch 2 is probably gonna be my last nintendo console or console in general. Xbox raised their prices years after launch ps5 isn't doing much atm aswell. So yeah.... it feels bittersweet tbh. I'm looking foward to it but mostly due to the backlog and the option to upgrade games. The higher prices of the sw2 exclusives are certainly painful. But it is like they say. You gotta stop at the high point and the switch 2 being exactly what I wanted the switch 1 to be, I'm not gonna complain 😊

It's ubisoft so ofcourse it is. I have a feeling only fiirst oarty games are gonna be true physical games (and a few 3rd party ones) but most are gonna be this key card nonsense. If they make playing games physically this complicated/difficult then switch 2 is gonna be all digital for me and my last Nintendo console.

Why would you provoke the one Gaming company that is atleast in the public eye the most litigious company? Sure microsoft and sony have had lawsuits but nintendo has shown time and tiem again that they will sue you if they have even a smidge of winning/making a point. I genuinely don't know what certain companies are thinking sometimes.

Nintendolife, Pushsquare and Purexbox are pretty much the only gaming news/community sites I use so I'm not going anywhere. 🤗

We need the power of the switch 2 to make the eshop run decently. I mean the performance of that thing is an abomination it lags frequently freezes sometimes and is slower than slow. I dont care for the colors. Make it easy and intuitive to use and make it snappy. I understand some loading, fine. But as it is now its such a slog to use. Do better nintendo. If you want me to join an all digital future make the eshop usable.
