@SillyG That’s pretty much my plan. Use my OLED Switch for Switch games and the Switch 2 only for its games.

I know this is a Nintendo page but I’m hella excited for the Xbox 360 and Halo 3 ornaments especially. I always collect these each year and I think this year, they’re gonna bankrupt me…..😭

Wonder if that means Scarlet and Violet will finally be playable on Switch 2

According to their press release, preorders start April 9th:

“ Nintendo Switch 2 will be available for pre-order in North America from participating retailers beginning on April 9, 2025.”

Cue the Undertaker theme music......

@batmanbud2 must be a really angry man for you to literally respond to a comment made five years ago. So you literally had to scroll through all the comments and reply. Tell me, do you have a hard on for me or are you just that much of a sad angry person?

There is NO RANDOM ENCOUNTERS in this game. All the enemies, save for bosses, you can see. If you don't want to fight them, you can work your way past them. Anyone who complains about "random encounters" in this game clearly hasn't played it.

Couldn't they have put the actual Intellivision releases on there since they own it now rather than just the inferior 2600 M Network versions?

Now just put Twilight Princess and Wind Waker HD on the Switch and we’re set

@FawfulDX The high score thing was LITERALLY the main reason to play it. That's what added replayability. To see if you can get a better score and or more stars the next time you played. Also, they took out the end of level minigames, the controls feel off, and there's so many cheap deaths because they made the hitboxes bigger and nerfed your jumps. Anyone that played the original a lot will know what I mean. It's hard to explain the control and hitbox changes unless you played it for a bit.

Not sure if anyone had the chance to do this with the Splatoon 3 OLED but I kinda found out last night by accident, if you have a blacklight or a dark blue light near the dock and joycons, the neons really pop, especially the right joycon and the splotch on the dock.

I don't think we are going to get full games, but rather more Virtual Console stuff and most importantly, any new DLC Nintendo comes out with.

The people like myself who already subscribe to the Expansion Pack are the ones who will most likely spend money on first party games on Day One. So, to literally include every upcoming DLC and make it more attractive to us, it's worth it. You pay $50 a year instead of $25 a shot, your game experiences will be extended (hence the name Expansion Pack), and you'll feel like you have something of value. I think their days of free DLC will eventually be done in favor of this model.

@Mauzuri or Breath of the Wild 2: Electric Boogaloo?

How'd you do the deck inside the house? Really curious as I've wanted one as well.

We literally have a toy WWF Belt we use for "Mario Party Champion", so it's time to dust that off lol

I ALWAYS try to put tempered glass on all my new handhelds. Had one from the original PSP to now this Switch OLED. Even made sure I had the tempered glass in hand before picking up my launch unit. Amazon had them shipped to my house the day before launch.

Got the white one as for a premium $350 product, especially with an OLED screen, the neon looked to childish for me.

Urotsukidoji: Legend of Overfiend?

I’ll give ya tree fiddy

Maybe that’s why Breath of the Wild 2 was delayed? To make it a Switch Pro exclusive in 4K?

Where's Rowlet?! I mean how could you not love that lazy, sleepy, little ball of feathers?

But it’s perfectly fine to overlap with Pokemon right?! That’s the biggest load of BS I’ve heard.

@Cptn_Alex They could have just as well given you a license to make these or even make a small run of these joycons themselves. Besides doing the right thing, Nintendo obviously didn’t get the memo about Philanthropy being the best PR. They are in DESPERATE need of good PR right now and they could have pointed to this and said “See? We are nice guys, we are helping a life long fan that unfortunately lost his life to mental illness.” They could’ve even matched the money made and donated. Etika was a sweetheart, a gem. I still remember where I was when I heard it. Broadcasting on my old Twitter account when he went missing and assisting people in trying to find him since I live in the NYC area. He was one of the only reason I did NOT take my life yet and why I still fight my own depression, anxiety, and PTSD every day, because he couldn’t. This was a person who everyone loved but few got the chance to truly love him or want to. That’s the same story I have to it hits me a lot harder than most. The fact that Nintendo would rather sue, would rather take someone to court, rather than license out their stuff and honor a life long fan who’s free PR to them was NUMEROUS, makes me completely sick of them. It’s to the point where I’m considering selling my Switch and not buying anymore of their games. I’m a life long Nintendo fan myself but this recent leadership is complete trash. Enough is ENOUGH.

I noticed that but I chalked it up to the cart being a different revision.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Super Mario Galaxy 2 is on there as an unlockable

It’s up for preorder on Amazon USA here:

@MrTanuki Actually, at least from the Pokemon itself, this game has been datamined and code has been examined to show there's a lot more pokemon than what was available. If you have a modded Switch, there's mods made to put them back in the game....

I wonder what emulators Hyperkin is going to rip off to make this? VisualBoyAdvance? NO$GBA? RetroArch? Hyperkin can never do anything by themselves....

@HenryKissinger Sad part is that I see this happening even though technically, you can still play Pokemon D/P on a device that's still on store shelves(2DS XL) and D/P can be found easily still.

There’s no way this game is a 9 or higher. This game is a 6.5-7 at best. Frame rate issues galore, complete changes to the mini games breaking the experience, Dampe dungeons are cumbersome and don’t really add to the experience, combat has changed for the worst(you have to parry with most enemies now), seashell system has completely changed so now you need to collect a lot more.

Basically, Nintendo and Grezzo artificially lengthened a game known for being short at the expense of gameplay, nostalgia, and profit.

They could’ve made an enhanced remake and charged half as much. But decided to be greedy and go for the full throttle and in doing so created this atrocity.

See Metroid: Zero Mission for an example on how to lengthen and remake a game and get it right......
