@kuu_nousee agree. I got this and Hades 2 around the same time and I enjoy this far more than Hades 2. Can't comment on Silksong though as I have not played it
I have had mine a couple of months. I only have one true switch 2 game, Kirby Air Riders, which is great. Mostly still playing my S1 backlog. I think it very much looks like a "1st version" of a new console, not overly impressed with the new joy con, the kick stand is a backwards step from the Oled, and so is the screen. I had intended to wait for the inevitable revision but I got a new one at such a low price I couldn't resist. As it stands, I would not say it is an essential upgrade and would wait for a revision if you are on the fence. If they had launched this as a switch pro, it would have been more appropriate.
I put off playing Absolum because I wanted to stick with Hades 2 but after about 15 hours or so, and despite loving Hades, it just is not grabbing me. Absolum however, is amazing and I'm enjoying it far more than Hades 2. My other choice for indie game of the year would be Ball X Pit
Was tempted to pick this up on Series X but am glad I waited. Will be a day 1 physical purchase for me. Game looks great, and more appealing to me than MKW
@sketchturner same situation for me. Fan since NES. 1st Nintendo console I haven't pre-ordered for a long time. Game prices, game card situation, lack of innovation and the fact I know there will be a better version out by the time some more decent first party games are out mean I am in no rush with this one. Happy for everyone else who is excited tho!
What a coincidence, I just cleaned up my son's 2DS today (Along with my New 3DS XL, my New 3DS smaller version and a spare 2DS I picked up at some point) and packed them all up to store away as they have not been used since I put CFW on them a good while ago. Will enjoy digging them out in a few years I'm sure
Have noticed a bug with the previous version. If I scan my amiibo on my profile, when my son comes to scan them on his separate profile on the same day it states "this amiibo cannot be scanned again today" even though he hasn't used them. Also if you scan your amiibo in bulk before opening any of the chests that fall, most of them disappear. let's see if this update fixes it
Recently contacted Nintendo UK as I was hoping the free repairs for out of warranty controllers experiencing drift would extend to pro controllers. Nope. So my original black, Xenoblade 2 and smash pro controllers now all have drift. Only my Splatoon 2 still standing. 3/4 all developing the same fault....hmmm. These are just as shoddy as the Joy cons. I've had every console going back to the NES and never had a controller develop a fault. Going to buy an 8Bitdo.
@Otoemetry yeah I'd be ok with that as long as they didn't try and charge me £90. 2 working standard pro controllers are better than 2 limited edition ones that don't work. Though looking at comments on here, Nintendo UK were fixing out of warranty joy cons for free when they had my pro controllers so assuming the free repair excludes them
Wonder if it is worth trying to send in my Xenoblade and Smash Bros pro controllers again...I sent them out of warranty a few months ago as both have drift, Nintendo wanted to charge me £90(!!!) to fix, so I said "no thank you" and had them returned

@CRASH64 I played SOR4 after Absolum and think Absolum is the better game. Both great though

Re: The First Review For Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince Is In
Can we just not have these articles "the first score is in"? They are always Famitsu, and their scores are literally meaningless
