I hope Nintendo delivers on launch day. Will be worker till the package arrives and maybe a bit more till the console is set up and every thing downloaded.
This is a great feature. Sadly they fixed a „bug“. Before the update I could play on my secondary switch with profile and on my primary switch with another account only together with only digital copy. This doesn’t work anymore.
But I can still play the game at the same time if the primary switch is offline.
The only thing the GC controller is missing is L3 and R3. If a game doesn’t use that, the GC controller will work. No need to worry that much. Sad that it’s not working on S1. So I will use my wired hori controller with turbo button
@Kiddd I didn’t say anything about parents. Because my opinion doesn’t matter. I’m not a patent lawyer.
I think a bland ripoff should be removed from the market.
There are lot of games which are inspired by others without being a cheap copy. And there a Pokémon inspired games with more original monsters than Pokémon.
You guys are funn 😂 sure dr Mario is inspired by Tetris. But when playing it’s different and it also looks different.
Palworld just copied Pokémon and made the designs worse. And to make it even worse they put guns in it … just a lazy way to try to make money. I hope they loose on the court.
@Serpenterror that’s nonsense. GC will be fine on switch. Sunshine works without analog triggers on switch (3D all stars). So Test will too. But maybe not as optimal as it should be.
I think the joy cons are the limiting factor. If the pro controller would get analog triggers, the joy cons would need also some (to ensure the same input functionality with the first party switch controllers). And I’m not sure if this would work in that small form.
This should definitely be free (can be digital only). And it should be free for Switch 1 too. On S1 not all features will be availed, but it can get the people curious and interested in the S2.
Micro sd cards work with switch 2. but you can only save screenshots and not games. If you don’t plan to buy digital games and take a lot of screenshots, this could be a cheaper alternative.
@Boized77 the music itself. I love the music of XC1, XC2 and XC3. But for XCX the music is disappointing. Why does the battle and city track have to be rap? For GTA ok, but I don’t think it fits here.
Can someone tell me why the soundtrack is so bad? I'm only 30mins in and I'm annoyed. The outside city soundtrack is ok. But battle soundtrack and in the city are really annoying. That's really disappointing after enjoying the Soundtracks of XDE, X2 and X3 so much.
The virtual console fans are funny. I have maybe paid for 5-6 VC games for my entire NSO subscription time. And I can play almost 300 games. I also played and loved games I have never played games I never played before without risking wasting money.
Ownership vs. rental is always a thing. But unless you pay much more for the subscription service or the owned games are physical, the ownership is not that superior. (Think of damaged hard drive and the vc game is no more available to download and you have no backup.)
I also think NSO is the best forced online subscription. To be fair I’m not that familiar with Xbox live because I will never own an MS think if I can avoid it. But ps plus costs much more and only gives you 3 games a month and you can’t play the games which were released on ps plus before you subscribed. Also those games are often low quality and why is there almost every month is a stupid shooter (fair the last thing is a me problem).
NSO on the other hand has hundreds of games. Some are crap. But there is also a good amount of high quality games which cost a lot of you want an original cartridge. Those aren’t the newest games but they often often more fun and entertainment than the current games. And as you can see how many people want some specific games for the service the interest in those games and even more is there.
Just my 2cents on a wall of text 🙃
Edit: I also don’t like to play for online play. I know times before PS plus.
Edit2: forgot to mention that NSO is also the cheapest of the services.
The price/value is much better than virtual console. Sure you don’t own them (but do you really with digital games? — otherwise physical games wouldn’t get the high praise).
I’m not the biggest fan of streaming services, but I can experience more for less money (as long as I’m subscribed).
Due to not having extra costs to experiment I tried some games I never have played and also loved them. I’m not sure if I would have bought them just for curiosity… but I found new enjoyable franchises through NSO and bought the recent games:
Fire Emblem, Metroid, mother (ok there is no recent game), castlevania (the advanced & ds collections), WarioWare.
I love DKC, but I’m not sure if I would be happy with DKL if I had paid 5€ or so for them.
And also I think especially the play once for the experience NES games (for example Zelda II, Metroid) have more players than they had if you had to buy them. (And i know hard core fans replay those 😅).
I only played 6 hours yet. So take the following with a grain of salt.
If it wasn’t part of a series I would give it a 9. but it’s part of a series and does things worse than the first entry I can only give a 7. and that’s generous. Here are the things I think are worse:
Luigi’s controls
how you learn pair moves: some one finds some thing and gov it you. Now you can do a new move?
how you learn overwork’s abilities. At random points Luigi has an idea and that’s it?
The progression in the original was very satisfying. It tied in very weil in the story. And pair moves and overworld abilities are coupled together.
I also missed Luigi’s prompts in his attacks because I choose the attack with a and then I have go back to b? That’s get me more confused than it should.

If palworld wouldn’t be a bland rip-off Pokémon game with no originality, they wouldn’t be in that position.
