@UltimateOtaku91 Your problem might be that if people really hates game-key cards this much, it might be harder for you to sell your games when you are done with them.
Quite interesting to see how this will pan out, only time will tell.
Wake me up when it has passed the 13 million that the Wii U sold. That's my estimate of hard-core Nintendo fans, after that they start to get into the casuals.
Switch 1 did not have much competition (as a hybrid), but it did have a global pandemic. It was a cool new thing that people wanted to try out.
Switch 2 is more expensive in a tougher economic climate.
Every one that bought a switch 1 will not buy a switch 2. And people that bought several switch 1s might not be as willing to buy several switch 2s.
It's more of the same than a cool new thing.
It will sell good, but I'd be surprised if it surpasses switch 1.
Need to force myself to spend more time with it... I just don't feel much desire to do so. I should love the open world, but I don't really care. 7/10 so far, but much since I usually like mario kart.
"It's an option", true. But the option some people would prefer is not available. And this option is not a valid replacement for the missing option, rather a variant of the other available option. The problem is the missing option. If we had all options, this would not be an issue.
@TwinFami Thanks! This was the kind of instruction i was expecting from the video. Maybe a bit on the dark side for my TV, so I did 7 steps in the second part.
No.
Since you're not rewarded for being good at driving, you get punished by a blue shell... and then a red or two.
I just do not think it's fun to chase a goal like that.
But if they send me the survey I will have things to say. I love to complain if I'm given the opportunity.
But my main problem with switch 2 has been how Nintendo has communicated during the release. They have just caused one unnecessary confusion after another.
@Dr_Lugae Was not asking for Nintendos projections. Just saying that the actual sales of $80 games remains to be seen. But let's hope you are right and that $80 games is a success.

Nothing is more stupid than the Zelda "timeline".

They should maybe release it as a bicycle?

A leak that did not come true!!
What is the world coming to.

Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase July 2025: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
Missing the "nothing" option.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Reveals Another Pre-Order Distribution
Just finished Scarlet on switch 2.
It was a decent experience imo.
Z-A's city setting looks so boring that I'm not even on the fence for that one.

Parsec, Munchman and Miner 2049er
Re: Pokémon TCG Pocket Pulls New Expansion Card Art Amid Accusations Of Plagiarism
One would think they could draw their own Pokémon how every they want.
Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.2.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
It was bad, then they made it worse, now it's back to bad?... no thanks.
Re: Prominent YouTuber Doubles Down On Belief That A Nintendo Direct Is Due This Month
I'll wait for the Nintendo Direct Pro.
Re: Hitman: World Of Assassination Has A Hidden 'Performance Mode' On Switch 2
It's on my "wait for a sale wishlist".
Hopefully every thing is sorted out by then.

Yes, i can continue on with portal 2.
Re: Rumour: A Nintendo Direct Is Set To Take Place Later This Month, It's Claimed
We need a splatoon raiders direct.
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Director Acknowledges Performance Drops: "We Prioritized Fun And Playability"
Thought the switch 2 was supposed to be powerful. If not even Nintendo can get their games smooth...
Re: More Donkey Kong Bananza In-Store Demos Are Releasing Next Week
@LastFootnote
You are probably right!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (12th July)
Seriously, it's Splatfest!
Come on, the other stuff can wait
Re: More Donkey Kong Bananza In-Store Demos Are Releasing Next Week
If they want people to try it out, they should just release a demo.
Re: iFixit Performs A Full Teardown Of Nintendo's "P**s-Poor" Pro Controller
That just sucks, it should att least be possible to replace the battery!
Changing the battery in the wii u gamepad was almost as simple as it could ever be.
Nintendo is really not even trying to get any goodwill points in this generation.
Re: Nintendo Will Discontinue Switch Game Vouchers Entirely In 2026
Never bought a full priced switch game, much thanks to vouchers.
Guess metroid 4 and Z-A will be my last voucher if they're added before cancelation of the program.
Will have to wait longer for games in the future :/
Re: Switch Port Specialist Believes Switch 2 Can Surpass Its Predecessor's Success
I doubt it.
Switch 1 did not have much competition (as a hybrid), but it did have a global pandemic. It was a cool new thing that people wanted to try out.
Switch 2 is more expensive in a tougher economic climate.
Every one that bought a switch 1 will not buy a switch 2. And people that bought several switch 1s might not be as willing to buy several switch 2s.
It's more of the same than a cool new thing.
It will sell good, but I'd be surprised if it surpasses switch 1.
Re: Talking Point: One Month On, How Did Nintendo's Switch 2 Launch Go?
No updated sales figures since the first four days???
Re: Poll: How Many Hours Have You Spent In Mario Kart World So Far?
Need to force myself to spend more time with it... I just don't feel much desire to do so.
I should love the open world, but I don't really care.
7/10 so far, but much since I usually like mario kart.
Re: Furukawa's Defence Of Game-Key Cards Ain't All That Convincing
"It's an option", true.
But the option some people would prefer is not available.
And this option is not a valid replacement for the missing option, rather a variant of the other available option.
The problem is the missing option. If we had all options, this would not be an issue.
Re: Minecraft Is Updating Copper To "Make It More Useful"
Might even try this out if they release a switch 2 edition at some point.
Re: Preview: Donkey Kong Bananza - DK's Getting His Own Odyssey, And It's A Helluva Trip
Still have a $40 copy of Odyssey in my backlog so I can probably wait for a sale on this one too.
Re: Of Course Mario Kart World Is Being Review Bombed
However 7.5 sounds about right.
Re: Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Actor Drops The Biggest Remake Hint Yet
Just played it on switch, I had a good enough time with that.
Can't really see way a remake could do to make me pay and pay it again.
They should rather do a proper Black flag 2.
Re: 27 Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Games We're Excited For In 2025
Splatoon Raiders!
Re: Japanese Charts: Mario Kart World Speeds Past 1 Million Physical Sales
Are you saying 1 million in Japan, physical?
I would never have thought!
Are they paying $80 too?
Wait, Is it so that they do not have the bundle in Japan? So every one is buying the super cheap Japan only system, and then have to buy MKW separate?
(Personally I'm not a fan of this game, almost regretting the bundle even.)
Re: Fans Reckon Nintendo Has "Killed" Mario Kart World With Its Latest Update
Just have different modes for the two.
Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.1.2, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
If they could only make a mode without the blue shell.
Re: Drag X Drive Switch 2 eShop Price Revealed
Need to know more about what's in the game.
Are there different modes?
How many and what are they?
Not writing it off just yet... but I'm doubtful.
Re: UK Charts: There's No Stopping Mario Kart World And Switch 2
@Woodyshoe
That's how I use it.
Re: Former Nintendo Execs Fear We Might Be Waiting A While For A 3D Mario On Switch 2, Thanks To Donkey Kong
I would not be surprised if Nintendo been sitting on a new Mario for quite a while.
Re: Switch 2 Has Already Overtaken The Combined Lifetime Sales Of The Entire Xbox Series Family And PS5 Pro In Japan
At that price they would be stupid to not buy one.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Donkey Kong Bananza For Switch 2?
No wait for a sale option?
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 System Update 20.1.5 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
They should improve the HDR settings.
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Direct: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate It?
Looks great... but also a bit tedious to break stuff all the time.
I'll wait for reviews... and probably a sale.
Re: Poll: So, Have You Used Zelda Notes Yet?
If they released this feature for the Wii U gamepad I would have given it a try.
Messing with my phone while holding another controller, nah.
Re: Switch 2's HDR Looking Washed Out On Your TV? Here's The Fix
@TwinFami
Thanks!
This was the kind of instruction i was expecting from the video.
Maybe a bit on the dark side for my TV, so I did 7 steps in the second part.
Re: UK Charts: Yes, Two Mario Kart Games Are In The Top Ten
I hope this it is not due to confused parent buying the wrong mario kart for their kids.
Re: Poll: Do You Three-Star-Gold Every Mario World Grand Prix Before Moving On To The Next?
The blue shell makes no sense in single player, it should be removed or at least be an option imo.
Re: Poll: Do You Three-Star-Gold Every Mario World Grand Prix Before Moving On To The Next?
No.
Since you're not rewarded for being good at driving, you get punished by a blue shell... and then a red or two.
I just do not think it's fun to chase a goal like that.
Re: Nintendo Survey Asks Switch 2 Users About Their Experience So Far
I'm quite happy with the system.
But if they send me the survey I will have things to say. I love to complain if I'm given the opportunity.
But my main problem with switch 2 has been how Nintendo has communicated during the release. They have just caused one unnecessary confusion after another.
