SwitchForce

I got most of mine when they had PreOrder a few I had to get from eBay when they weren't expensive. But now I am up to date on my Amiibo once I pickup Sora Amiibo.

Something doesn't smell right here. You want the Console out before games for it comes out. Otherwise what's the point of buying games that have no consoles to play them. You build the Switch 2 base and AAA games will follow. No one can play Switch 2 games on Switch that doesn't work.

They should release Switch 2 in 2024 and have the games follow up this should be the strategy waiting will not get them AAA devs to come aboard. They will think Switch 2 is a failed hardware the longer they wait. They bring Switch 2 out 2024 and AAA games follow up and build on the library not build the library of AAA games and have nothing to play them. That isn't a smart business move you want the hardware there to get people and Devs to support the Switch 2. You can't play Switch 2 games on Switch that doesn't work. But bringing Switch 2 in 2024 they insure that there will be games lineup to take advantage of the Switch 2 console.

Typical upper management they mess up and the rest pays for this total F&^%up management that only concerns is taking more pay.

Sad part is when a creator director leaves or passes that's a sign the studio isn't going to be well off in the future. Loosing too may creatives minds isn't a good thing for future gaming.

We all knows good things come to a end. They can't keep supporting consoles no longer having parts or shops to fix them it cost money to fix hardware that doesn't have a production lifespan.

We need a Physical release......not Digital....

JPN voice with EN text is all I need for JPRPG is all I need to enjoy the game.

@Spider-Kev Holy moses are you kidding, I have to check when I did my preorder but I did it as soon as I found out. Just ask them to be sure they have enough so you can snag on as well. Thing is if they did all the Amiibos for all the character this would be a money maker for them - I think assuming they got the right programming for what each Amiibo scan does.

Does that mean MicroCharges are coming????

Anything from any news or news outlet can't be confirm til Nintendo gives a Direct and shows what the product it or does or give the real specs and how it's powered then all can see what is. Then no one can deny what is there and not there.

@PoeTheLizard Least we remind this poster the T239 upcoming SOC isn't ancient by any standard here. So not sure why one is digging a hole for themselves dismissing the Switch 2 for. Wii hardware isn't the same as Switch v1 hardware so let's not beat a DeadHorse shall we anymore.

I saved the concert to watch at later time...

@epicgamner There are gamers whom have both Deck and Switch or PS5/Xbox and it's up to the player to figure what they want how to play. And gaming isn't a cheap lifestyle when you game on different platforms that the nature of it. Some choose one or the other and others have multiple platforms - it a choice one makes.

@Spider-Kev It was one of those if you late it can't be preordered now. I think the order was opened in December 2023 but I doubt now it's can be preordered since the release date is too close now.

Closer we get to a Direct the more leaks/rumors start to get to MainStreet NewsOutlets that just a fact Ninjas will not be able to stop this from coming out. It's coming this year why do we constantly have NintenDoomed people talking about both sides of cheeks for????

At least I have my Preorder in so no worries....

Heard on YT rumors no Joy-Cons but that would mean they use Steam Deck format but that would ruin all Joy-Con controllers and making money from Joy-Cons designs and likes. I do hope it's 8" LCD 2024 not 2015 tech as alot of people like to think it will have is just dumb to think that. T239 with DLSS/RT with 1080p screen would be the rave and help boost sales. And NO a Switch 2 won't stop current gen sales only production ending for Current Gen would signal it's end of run production and people should start planning for Switch 2 next phase of production and market leader shares. It will never beat the Switch sales volume that was a one-off since it was a revolutionary design that most likely can't replicate anymore. Just having Switch 2 detachable Joy-Cons with 8" LCD Hi-Res display and Dock 4k/DLSS/RT game play would signal a new phase in Nintendo Gaming. I will probably be able to get only one unit and maybe another through Amazon if they permit such purchase because my nephew will be able to get one as well to game on. Though he might not send back my Pokémon version as seems like they are still using it but can transfer account to both so they can play the other one while someone else plays the Switch OLED. That would lead me having a Splatoon, TOTK, Pokémon OLED and then two new Switch 2 for the gaming 2024 year. That's my plan so far.

I'll have to go with only Amiibos figures right now they can get expensive for anything figures other then Amiibo versions.

As long as I got my PreOrders in I am safe to go.

Considering Switch OLED is the only console why would'nt it get those numbers but repeating those sales figure with Switch 2 will be next to impossible since the Switch was such a innovator design and concept. Now everyone is copying this setup but will never reach Switch numbers nor can Switch 2 reach those numbers. There plenty of Switch OLED, v1, v2 and Lite that trying to beat those numbers would require everyone going and buying Switch 2 to change that ratio around. Which by any stretch of the imagination isn't going to happen. Those figure were Once in Lifetime and probably can't be repeated again.

Hope this isn't a trend going forward with M$ buying Activision....

He can't make or say much about the Movie because he can't it's that simple. He would know about it but due the Clauses he right not to give a straight forward reply as that not be good for Nintendo. He's probably got Ninja telling him what to say and not say for IP/Copyright protection. Ninja works both sides at Nintendo.

This will be a wait and see if they truly value Game devs then good setup but if not well we've seen News of lately and it hasn't gone well for Devs and Programmers. So til then it's let's see what they can do.

At least it's a company that is in the business of Entertainment and not a Embracer that is to "Butcher and Cut to make money".

Until the Nintendo Direct beyond knowing it's a T239 chipset (could change but I hope not) all the specs are just rumors and only til then can the facts be nailed down what the insides are.

As long as it comes on Switch 2 then I will preorder the game. But with my backlogs been sometime before I can entertain playing it at that time.

Sounds like the next Gen team developers and Research group is preparing for Switch 3 revolutions.

Hold on - I have yet to get I, II done or completed yet???

To me regardless if you like or dislike the Joy-Cons are a unique for Switch to stand out from other consoles. Some use them on and off. When I game portable I keep Joy-Cons attached and keep attached when docked play. Don't understand the hatin towards the Joy-Con other then the drift and or too small but for the size considering console size it would match the Switch size. The Problem with GF talking rumors as facts beyond some leaks chipset spec is just that rumors since no one can give factual specs or photos of the Switch 2 to show anything what it is or does. People are hostile that is a stretch but they going on Rumors beyond knowing it's probably a T239 chipset they are blowing hot air since they have No Uncle Nintendo to confirm anything. When you use rumors as facts that's when you get into trouble.

Nintendo bungled the handover from Wii to Wii U to such an extent that kicking off with Switch felt like an entirely new game, with no thriving predecessor or revenue flow to worry about cutting off. The company is understandably cautious this time around, with a lot more to lose if 'Switch 2' turns out to be a 'Switch U.'
If this is what people aka analysts are talking about they already lost out here. Considering they are making a more capable Switch 2 to get AAA games makes you wonder people talking Doom/Gloom for Switch 2 where the same that said that in 2017 and 7 years later the Switch broke records and now they are parroting those lines again? You have to ask did you look at how they dismissed Switch 2017 before making the same comments?

Without knowing what they plan to do is next to impossible to know what this means. Unless you have a "uncle in Nintendo" to tell you what is happenin.

Any updates to their franchise to be able to use more power on Switch 2 would be a good start. They should from sales figure know which one to choose first to re-master for Switch 2.

@JaxonH And to think they aren't milking Switch OLED already. Replicating Switch numbers will never overrun current figures-that's a impossible to undue. This is why the Switch was a success but if one is just looking at numbers then they forgot why it's so successful to begin with.

@SurprisedRobinChu Announcing a "Switch 2" early this year would hurt the Switch's future sales.
More NintenDoomed talks and will not hurt current Switch. This is a fallacy people like to entertain but that's the extend their own entertainment. There are going to be Core buyers and general buyers some will get the Switch 2 and some will stay with Switch v2.

Those sales figures comes as no surprise to anyone following or knows about how successful the Switch is.

Considering Sony gave up on Japan markets and focused on the NA market what else would take the place? Nintendo everyone. When people talk about Switch volumes they forget this is a ongoing sales and not end of lifetime sales numbers. Those are Apples to Orange comparisons and doesn't tell the stories behind those sales figures. One's still in production and one has all but ended production years ago. It's a real Shame people forget this and dig themselves into a hole. One needs to compare on-going production figures if one wants to make Real comparisons.

Be nice if they at least do a Demo for everyone to try out.

Judgement is bad but that Fact he did this is his own fault and no one but he himself is to blame for the mess he got himself into. If he had any consensus he would've done this for experiments and not for exploits or money drive.

I think it sounds more like pokemon guards are doing the pot stirring and GameFreak isn't doing anything that royals them. The mear fact GF/Ninja didn't kill Palword tells alot if there intended to do it from the get go. I think this is fan caused not GF/Ninja caused fabricated issues.

Didn't know I had this downloaded already????

Switch 2 or what version???? Don't go GBA we need Switch 2 version.

Sounds like the type of NISA release if one does come.

Apsyr: "We have not made any announcements about a physical release for Tomb Raider I-III Remastered."

In other words DUE to NDA we can't deny or confirm anything.....

Should one fireup and start their game now?

They need a YT video showing the upgrade and how it runs to really show people will accept the upgrade.

Those so called analysts are using bad numeric for comparisons to boost their own lost Ego from Switch 2017 success.

We all have to consider inflation will raise Amiibos prices. You don't get $1.50gal gas anymore so stop living in your Alice In Wonderland. That train has long past.

Analysts should only predict if they have a job or not. That's what they are good at. Alot of Analysts in 2017 said the Switch was a failure console and yet its 2024 and Switch 2 is coming. Whom was the winner here????
