I don’t bother with preorders anymore. On my switch I’ve gone entirely digital so I’m not worrying too much, plus Nintendo first party games very rarely see a price drop
“the first time the regular Switch itself (not just the dock) has been available in anything other than boring black” has everyone forgot there was a Nintendo Labo themed Switch that came in a cardboard colour brown all over? I know it had something to do with a competition but it does exist.
Anyway I guess it’s kinda cool but usually red Nintendo systems seem to look cheap and nasty, it would look better if the joycons were a denim blue with yellow joysticks.
Themed consoles should be based on first party games in my opinion, I’m over getting limited/special/exclusive/themed consoles because they are more often than not an eyesore, Fortnite as a game sucks in my opinion
Was contemplating it until I saw the price. I don’t mind paying a little extra for an official Nintendo design (already own the 256GB with the star) but at that price knowing I’ll probably never fill my current card I’ll give it a miss
I personally don’t think there will be a switch pro as such but I do think there will be some variant of an upgrade like they did with the 3DS. Maybe with all the remade games being called DELUXE then I’m willing to guess it would be called Nintendo Switch DX. Not much more powerful but fixing some hardware issues
I’m highly skeptical of this vaccine because they come up with it in a short space of time but yet years and years have been put into a cure for cancer with little results
Most people on here more than likely own a switch anyway and if you want a game you’ll get it regardless weather it’s discounted. I’ve gone all digital with my switch so much of the discounts I’ll miss but I save money on only buying games I know I’ll get my money’s worth out of
If they re released the new 3DS XL I would buy it in a heartbeat, I miss mine that got stolen along with all my games and I didn’t want to invest in the 2DS because I always used the 3D
I’m not defending Apple but it is a bit scummy what epic have done, It’s the equivalent of going into a shop and telling someone that they can get what they want cheaper down the road.
I’d love to get back into Pokémon games but the last one I played was ruby and sapphire on game boy so I feel way too much has changed for me to jump in and understand what’s happening
@MysteryCupofJoe yeah woolly world does look good but wouldn’t make much sense with crafty world already on the switch, Never played a paper Mario game because I didn’t think I’d enjoy it but I might give it a try.
Sonic games have been a bit of a hit or miss for me sonic heroes and generations were good though
It should have been that in the first place. Personally all home icons should be the same as the box art, numerous times I’ve looked through my digital games and thought “what game is that?”
@rockodoodle with the success Smash Ultimate had with all the different characters I honestly think it will happen even if it’s just adding more first party characters
Neat. I personally always use my switch portable because of preference but I can see this being a good alternative if you’re still worried about the dock scratching your screen
I’m hoping it will be exclusive to Nintendo because I played the first 2 on Switch and feel that if it’s also on Playstation and Xbox then the switch version will be below par (like Outer Worlds)

Re: Full First Edition Pokémon TCG Set Smashes Another Record At Auction
I guess they’re only worth what people are willing to pay. I wonder if I should sell my collection.
Re: Random: Mario Maker Player Still Trying To Complete Course After 3,353 Hours
Is it still worth it at this point
Re: UK Black Friday Game Sales Are Down This Year, But Switch Is On The Rise
@IronMan30 I’d say they would stay steady or even spike because new consoles always have teething issues that put people off the system.
The game sales during Black Friday might not be doing well because most people already own the games they want.

Re: Eiji Aonuma Talks About The Possibility Of More Legend Of Zelda Spin-Offs
I’m open for spin offs providing it’s not over done. To be honest I’d rather a 4 swords/triforce heroes style game for switch
Re: Store Your Switch Games In Style With This Animal Crossing-Themed 512GB SD Card

I was looking forward to this game because I enjoyed the original but I didn’t know it had already released
Re: This Powerful Portable Console Has Us Dreaming Of A Nintendo Switch Pro
I personally don’t think there will be a switch pro as such but I do think there will be some variant of an upgrade like they did with the 3DS. Maybe with all the remade games being called DELUXE then I’m willing to guess it would be called Nintendo Switch DX.
Not much more powerful but fixing some hardware issues

2D because they age much better

Re: Poll: Which Will Be Your Second Console - PS5 Or Xbox Series X?
My Switch Lite and I’ll stick with my current One X as my second system to play some games I missed in this “generation”

Re: Sniper Elite 4 Gets 'World-First' Switch Gameplay Trailer, Pre-Orders Now Live
Played this on Xbox and found it was quite an interesting game, kinda like Hitman so it’s worth a play if you’re into stealth
Re: Random: PS5's DualSense Controller Works With Your Nintendo Switch, Kinda
@SwitchForce I agree. I only play handheld but for some games it’s easier using a separate controller
Re: Soapbox: An Ode To The 3DS, Nintendo's Workhorse Console
If they re released the new 3DS XL I would buy it in a heartbeat, I miss mine that got stolen along with all my games and I didn’t want to invest in the 2DS because I always used the 3D
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #66 - Resident Evil 0
I quite like Europe but nothing will beat the cover for Resi 4 on Wii
Re: Video: Another Look At The First DLC Expansion Coming To The Outer Worlds
Peril on Gorgon? Are the Gorgonites being attacked by the Commando Elite again?
I wonder if anyone will understand the reference.
Re: How Well Do You Know Rare And Its Nintendo Games?
Having just done some research I’ve discovered that I have never played a Rare game so for me to get 4 was decent
Re: Sega Says It Wants To Re-Release More Past Titles On Nintendo Switch
@YANDMAN I thought it was pretty decent as it is. Even if it was re done in the style of Captain Toad Treasure Tracker
Re: Sega Says It Wants To Re-Release More Past Titles On Nintendo Switch
How about a remaster of Bug for the Sega Saturn?
Re: The Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection Reploid Remixes DLC Is No Longer A Pre-Order Exclusive

Re: Random: Epic Goes To War With Apple, Asks Players To "Join The Fight" And "Free Fortnite"

Re: Pikmin 3 Deluxe Officially Announced For Switch, Includes All DLC And New Content
Nice I finally get to play a Pikmin game
Re: Carrion's Controversial Nintendo Switch Menu Icon Has Been Changed
It should have been that in the first place. Personally all home icons should be the same as the box art, numerous times I’ve looked through my digital games and thought “what game is that?”
Re: Random: The LEGO NES Has A Cool Super Mario Bros. Easter Egg Hidden Inside It
I’d love to have it but I could buy a brand new Switch Lite for less
