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.
@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.....
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.....
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 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 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.
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.
Nope either full physical or full digital. But this halfway license nonsense isn't it. It makes things needlessly confusing. Edit: Also a waste of plastic/packaging.....
@RiasGremory I find tech analysis like these useless when they obviously arent able to test it fully yet. Its like me watching a screen recording and concluding, oh it looks bad. I think most people will be more than happy with the switch. I see it more like a switch pro... plus backwards compatibility is such a huge win for me. So now I can future proof my switch library while still getting the occasional switch 2 exclusive.
@Cipher36 Same here. How do switch games perform on switch 2 WITHOUT the upgrade. Is BOTW for example still all ove rthe place in terms of performeance or is it locked 30 stable? That's my big question. I'm gonna get it regardless (I'm still on my launch switch).
@Mz3player if you look closely underneath the famicom icon, theres another square hidden. I'm assuming that you can scroll down and then access genesis games. Or its a slider and you can slide it further to the right
@Polvasti I dismissed the game at first and then decided to give it a go together with my girlfriend. 10 minutes later we were in tears from all the laughing. The hiliarity of this game is something else. It's so unassuming and then bam.
@GrailUK switch 3? Sweet summerchild we are already on switch 4 pro. On a more serous note it's clickbait and it works. There are so many fear mongering takes on yohtube that I refuse to click on the vids out of principle. Enough is enough. The whole discourse around the switch 2 is dominated by misinformation fear mongering and just in general negativity, that Im gonna stay away from such articles. Let me make up my mind come launch. You wanna pre order? Do it. You dont wanna pre order? Dont do it. Wanna get it later? Sure. You dont wanna get it all? Also fine. But this whole trying to convince the other side is getting tiresome.
I haven't "upgraded" to the OLED version. I have a huge backlog and with the switch 1 joycons being as flimsy as they are, I'm gonna get the switch 2 mario kart bundle at launch. Already preorder via a big tech retsiler here as they get more copies. Now I've already gotten an email a few days ago that informed that the supplier may ship it later 17th at the latest. Im not in a hurry per se but I see it as future prooving my swit h library aswell as getting the switch 2 exclusives that I want.
I'm getting the switch 2 as a replacemnt for my launch switch so I can continue on the back log while getting the occasional switch 2 exclusive. I see it as a way of future proofing if that makes sense
My question is how do switch games run on switch 2 without the upgrade. Take botw for example. I wanna now is how does it run without the upgrade? Is it locked 30? Or is performance exactly the same as switch. Thats what I wanna know.
@andyg1412 It's not just about the gamecube games. Racing games are much better with analogue triggers. Just imagine mario kart but you can control your speed. You know like any other racing game? Its such a small thing but no nintendo gotta nintendo. This is just pathetic on their part. Every other console has analogue triggers. Mostnpc pads have annalogue triggers. Switch 2 the "improved" console in the year 2025? No analogue triggers .... you expect me.to cough up almost 500chf but give me a console thats basically the same as my current switch? Yeah no...the more I hear an think about the switch 2 the less excited I am for it.
Posted this in anothe article but its applicable here so: Wait so no analogue triggers? How will that work with the gamecube games on nso then? Please dont tell me I have to buy their gamecube controller too. If that's the case nah fam I'm out.

@Magician the fromsoftwsr subreddit is in full on crisis mode. So yeah its not just sony fans or whatever. Just dont bring up bloodborne and it's exclusivity in the sub.if you do they bring insane mental gymnastics how this time it's different and worse.
@Oracles_fanboi its insane, absolutely ridiculous at this point gaming is a luxury. No more games for all. No wonder key resellers are flourishing when you can't afford the hobby from the source. Thank god my backlof of switch games is huge so I'm probably gonna get the console. But man this is bitter. Oh and the upgrade cost for each switch game to get switch 2 benefits? Idk....😪
I know its my fault for expecting metroid prime 2 and 3. It's also my fault for expecting the Zehlda HD ports "confirmed" by jeff grubb way back in the day. "Oh they are definitely coming you guys believe me". Great job you wannabe insider. As for the direct imo completely forgettable. Bring on the switch 2 direct.
