The first NSO game I'm actually interested in playing... but I'm not going to start an +expansion pack subscription for trying out this one game. Maybe one day.
Guess the investors are buying the hype. I'm not sure the casuals are going to pick up a switch 2 the same way they did with switch 1. Next two years will be interesting.
@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.

Re: Kirby Air Riders Direct: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate It?
Charging through corners looks so satisfying.
Re: Pokémon Teases A Spooky Legends: Z-A Reveal Later This Week
Preparing to be underwhelmed.
Re: Kirby Air Riders Zooms Onto Switch 2 This November
I would not hesitate to trade my bundled MKW for this one.
Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.2.1, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Only managed to force my self to play 7h of MKW so far.
Seems I'm not going to play this again in a long time.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Drag x Drive?
I can't vote since I have not played it... (that does not seem to be a problem for everyone)
Seems to be around 6 or 7 when ignoring the extremists.
Re: Video: Pokémon Legends: Z-A - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Full Gameplay Demo
Z-A... They could have called it "Pokemon Labyrinth"...
Less and less a fan of this city setting the more I see.
Re: Round Up: The First "Hands On" Impressions Of The Pokémon Legends: Z-A Demo Are In
It's not the combat that has me worried about this game...
Re: First Impressions: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Is An Attempt To Catch The Hardcore Again
I played and enjoyed Arceus and Scarlet. Z-A is still a pass for me thanks to the ugly boring city setting.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2's GameCube Library Next Week
The first NSO game I'm actually interested in playing... but I'm not going to start an +expansion pack subscription for trying out this one game.
Maybe one day.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2's Next Exclusive 'Drag x Drive'?
I do not like basketball nor mouse controls, so most unlikely.
If people I trust says it amazing I might reconsider.
Re: Nintendo's Share Price Is Now Double The Height Of The Wii Era
Guess the investors are buying the hype.
I'm not sure the casuals are going to pick up a switch 2 the same way they did with switch 1.
Next two years will be interesting.
Re: Metroid Prime 4, Elden Ring, Silksong All Playable At Nintendo's Gamescom Booth
Guess that means Splatoon Raiders is way into 2026... at best....
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Playable Switch 2 Demo Appearing At Upcoming Events
Love to hear what people have to say about this one. I'm on the fence to say the least.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2 Upgrade For Kirby And The Forgotten Land?
I'm planning to play the original game on switch 2.
... as soon as I come across a used copy worth buying.
Re: Opinion: We Really Don't Need A Donkey Kong Timeline
Nothing is more stupid than the Zelda "timeline".
Re: Random: Honda's Pokémon Koraidon Motorbike Looks Laughable In Practice
They should maybe release it as a bicycle?
Re: Nintendo Sends Out Second Game-Key Card & Physical Game Survey
@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.
Re: Rumour: Three Games Were Pulled From Nintendo's Direct Partner Showcase, According To Veteran Games Journalist
A leak that did not come true!!
What is the world coming to.
Re: Feature: What We Expect From Nintendo For Super Mario Bros.' 40th Anniversary
An offer to buy a time limited icon background for 10 platinum coins?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (2nd August)
Shout-out to the Wii U player!
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Major Upcoming Switch 2 Games
Why is the only promising S2 game TBD
Re: Switch 2 Has Sold "More Than 6 Million" Units, And Almost As Many Copies Of Mario Kart World
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.
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.
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, 31st July 2025
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.
Re: Poll: Has Donkey Kong Bananza Made You Feel Ill?

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 System Update 20.2.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
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.
