So how many people are going to attempt to repair their own controllers?

Yea, I thought so

The pro controller is extremely comfortable and works well. This is just typical sensational Nintendo hate

In order to save myself for Switch 2 I'd have to be able to actually get the device this year

So... no

I'm a teacher. When I first saw my 8th graders religiously playing this game years ago I was taken aback. I have no idea how they were having so much fun clicking a cookie....

Pokemon is Gamefreak

I personally am desperately hoping for a Xenoblade X2

If you can't fully disable gamechat to free up resources that will be embarrassing

So there's no excuse for not having even nearly enough to satisfy demand

Hard to get excited when its going to be impossible to get the product in the first place

Switch 2 will definitely have a Monster Hunter, but it'll likely be a continuation of Rise, not World/Wilds, at least imo

While Wilds is a good game it is undeniable that it is optimized very poorly. Even with the upgrades on the Switch 2 I don't believe it would run adequately

@larryisaman
Yes but "solid at their core" isn't good enough when they were extremely good in past generations when development costs were a fraction of what they are now

You're not wrong though. Generally even their bad or mispriced games are still technically good. It's just frustrating getting that mismatch in quality. I feel very burned by the newest Mario Strikers, and I'm pissed about the DKCR remake price to the point where I refuse to buy it

@larryisaman
I agree and disagree. They cut a lot of corners and push out a lot of subpar games... when they aren't the flagship games. Mario sports titles come to mind. They also severely overcharge for ports that only have the bare minimum upgrades that emulators have had for years

@Toastmaster

That agreement would never hold up in a US court. They are just trying to prevent you from utilizing your rights

That's why I run all my emulation on my PC and hacked 3ds and keep my Switch vanilla

Only hack Nintendo systems when Nintendo doesn't support them anymore if you want to stay safe

This is so dumb. Every retailer's website was just completely broken on my end until they were all sold out, and now I don't get an invite from Nintendo despite basically being first in line with far more qualifications than they asked for

Super disappointed in Nintendo after they assured us that "everyone who wants a Switch 2 will be able to get one". This was their "plan" to combat scalpers. I knew in the moment it wasn't going to be the case, but I had SOME hope

Its like Nintendo is TRYING to piss everyone off

I have no invite

I've had a family NSO+ Plan for 8 years
I signed up within hours of the opening
I am sharing data with Nintendo
I have thousands of hours on the Switch

If someone like me doesn't get an invite today, then who does?
