As someone who plays nearly exclusively in handheld, the larger screen & far superior OLED is really going to be nice. This is definitely not a upgrade most Switch owners need, especially those with the v2 Switch. If you are a day 1 OG Switch owner (like myself) or looking to buy your 1st Switch, this is easily the way to go.

Side question: so what game gets the OLED Switch special edition first? Pokemon: BD/SP, Metroid Dread, BotW2, etc?

I really love the look of the white joy-cons. Although this isnt the “Pro” leakers kept hyping up, it’s still an awesome refresh. I’ve had my Switch since launch & if the trade-in deals are good, I’ll 100% upgrade to this in October.

@TsukiDeity yeah, its from the parental app. It’s my kids monthly report

@Savino kids… 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

@Zeldafan79 you couldn’t be more wrong. They game a lot (Switch, 3DS, PS4, & iPad). We actually game together almost daily. It just so happens this month was dominated by Pokemon White 2 (3DS) and Lego Avengers (PS4) so when they reached for Switch, it was generally to relax and watch YT & Funimation.

I will admit, I have only used YT, Hulu & Funimation maybe 5x total on my Switch. I strictly game on it.

@Zeldafan79

Some people (especially kids) might have a Switch as their only device, so having access to streaming services is a big plus. When I looked at my kids June report in the Switch Parental Control app YouTube was the most used game/application with 23 days! Let’s not conflate your usage with everyone else’s.

@Savino the answer (in my sons’ case) is a LOT:

Edit: added a picture of my other son’s usage as well. YT was also his most used games/application for June.

Nintendo should have extended some of their sales due to these eShop/online issues.

Im honestly so tired of hearing about a Switch Pro. If it happens soon awesome, if not that’s ok too. Cant stand the contest reporting if its imminent release. There’s a million confirmed things to talk about.

@Anti-Matter I’d love to see that too. Give us an all-white Switch similar to the all red Mario edition.

Can you play 4-player in local wireless or online only?

Wow. Pretty solid review. I was eying this for my daughter but thought no way would it review well. Glad to be wrong. I’ll definitely add this to her library.

“Nuzlocke” built right in, I like that. Really wish Pokemon would give us difficulty options. I’ll probably pick this up for the right price.

This looks kinda cool actually. I’d give it a spin if it comes to Switch

Based on Nintendo’s recent style, I voted New Nintendo Switch. The fact its taking over for the older Switch instead of people sold along side it, Switch Pro seems unlikely. Same for Super Switch. No way the go back to the U moniker. XL only other one I think is feasible.

Is it cool? Yes

Would I want it? No. I absolutely hate touch screen controls

All I want is a Suikoden collection…please 🙏🏼😢

I don’t agree with the results here. I really love the NA box art. Could just be nostalgia tho 🤷🏻‍♂️

The title of this article does the game no favors…

If they are going to continue with mobile games for Nintendo, Punch-Out would be a great fit. It can be played it bite size portions and control schemes using swipes and taps would work fine.

Outside Dragon Age, there’s not much I want from EA on Switch.

My son was just complaining a few weeks ago that the game stopped working. Could be a different issue altogether but when he gets to a certain point it freezes every time. We did try it on his & his brother’s 3DS, so I figured there had to be an issue with the cart.

I have NEVER caught a single shiny. The only ones in my dex are from trades or special events, so I am blown away by this! Very, very cool. Talk about dedication!

I’m excited for this. I had missed out on both games upon their original release. Finally picked up Ni No Kuni once it hit Switch and I loved it. Will totally be picking the sequel up as well.

My house hold its about 99% digital when it comes to Switch (4 units in the house) but I think I’ll opt to get this game physically. Never played Snap so I’m not sure what the replay value is. Might be better to buy one copy & pass it around.

Why do people keep asking for BotW2 to stop doing BotW things?

I LOVED my Wii U. It’s the console that got me back into gaming. It was also my kids first console. I know it wasn’t a commercial success but it will always hold a special place for me. Having said that, I dont see the point in buying one now. Just get a Switch and hope the last few games get ported over.

@Sabrewing You are speaking my language! Yes please!

As long as all games were still available yo be purchased outright both digitally & physically, I see absolutely no reason a “Nintendo GamePass” would be a bad thing.

So…what’s special about a dream ball? I’m legitimately asking.

Very, very cool. It’s amazing to see how truly passionate people can be about Nintendo.

Cover plates, themes & folders please. I’m personally ok with missing the rest.

Punch-Out & Star Fox are the first two that come to mind. Mario Sports (Baseball/Basketball) would be fun too!

The control scheme was too annoying. Just really turned me off from getting heavy into the game. Oh well 🤷🏻‍♂️

If it’s PS4 Pro level power/performance in Switch form, then I’d be totally fine paying $399. That is considerable gaming power on the go. If it’s a 3DS to New 3DS level bump, then $349 would be the absolute most I’d pay, even considering an boost to an OLED, 7 inch screen.

Don’t like $ sales rankings. Not when consoles on the list can vary by 100s of dollars. Thought the same thing when I read PS5 became the fastest selling console in the US and it was dibe by $

I’d totally hope on it if it made it to Switch.

I don’t understand why people think it’s too early for a Switch Pro?

It’s definitely too early for a Switch 2 but not a Switch Pro. PS4 & Xbox already set the precedent for a mid-life refresh. PS4 was selling very well at the time too. It actually makes perfect sense. I would be happy to trade-in my OG Switch. I’m actually experiencing some battery degradation at this point too.

Ok. I’m in. I remember pour countless hours into Turtles in Time with my brother. This totally brings me back 30 years.

Gotta admit, that looks very good! I’m ok with the remakes we are getting but this concept pushes things much further, which is more what I was expecting from a game being remade on much newer, more powerful hardware.

I have all these games but my daughter, who just got a Switch Lite does not. Gonna have to pick up Odyssey & LM3!

I remember playing Red when it released. I was about 11 or 12 years old. Charmander really did feel like my partner. Like there was real growth over the course of the game. Kinda miss that in the newer game BUT it could just be my adult brain compared to the mind of a child.

I have never played DP so it’s not super familiar to me but when I watched the reveal yesterday there were times where I was legitimately not sure If was seeing a clip from the original or the Switch remake. That’s…not good.

I’ll be getting the game and I’m sure I’ll enjoy it but it’s a little on the disappointing side, graphics-wise. I voted for Let’s Go art-style in the poll. I thought it was cute & colorful and would be fine for a remake. The Pokémon/trainer battles look very Let’s Go graphically. SwSh-style looks can be saved for new games.

I know both my 9 & 11 year old, who are huge Pokemon fans, were underwhelmed by the look of the game.

I love turn-based RPGs but for some reason I haven’t been pulled in by Bravery Default or Octopath. Maybe I need to give them another try (only played demos). I need a new RPG in my life.

Im ok with another Let’s Go game. I didn’t spend anywhere near as much time with it as I did Sword (345 hours vs 55 hours) but I enjoyed the bright, fun style of the game. I feel like Let’s Go games could allow mainline games to have two year cycles by alternating releases. No matter what, more Pokemon games is a win for me.

We have lots of reds & lots of blues. Hopefully we get a few more options. Would love a solid black pair similar to what came on the dev units.

Got this for my son for Christmas. He’s been collecting cards for about a year but never really knew how to play (neither did I). This made it very easy & came with some really cool stuff too.

Love the controller. Might have to start collecting some of the Pokémon controllers. I’ve seen a few now that I really like.

I am a HUGE Suikoden fan. It’s my all-time favorite RPG series. I will be crushed if this doesn’t come to Switch. I backed the project (my 1st time ever) but if it doesn’t come to a Nintendo platform I may request a refund.

Just got 4 copies. We’re all digital in my house so everyone just bought a copy from the eShop. Can’t wait to dive in after work today! Love this game on Wii U but never beat it so between the remaining levels I missed and the new content I have a lot to look forward too.
