@electrolite77 The thing was they explicitly said beforehand they would make sure there was no stock shortages, now there's stock available it means it's fallen off a cliff...but hey, doom posters gotta doom post.
@sixrings Do you copy and paste the same thing every time a Digital Foundry article comes around? Getting massive deja vu here. It's up there with Bluey posts in the UK charts...
@Varkster people are boiling it down to watching a DF vid and saying "look! on the PS5 Pro version when they go into the bathroom the toothbrush is there, but it's missing on the Switch 2, same as the flannel! Preorder cancelled!!!"
Are the toothbrush and flannel important play mechanics? No, they're a little extra garnish on the background environment which makes no difference to the game you're playing and you never interact with. But here we are. It's like saying the SNES version of Street Fighter 2 was crap because Dhalsim's stage was missing two elephants.
@bluemage1989 I remember people seething on here about Animal Crossing being 30fps and only one island. It only sold 48.2m copies. If it was 60fps it could have sold a whopping 48.23m copies.
@Varkster It’s been an onslaught for months on here of people crying about specs and framerates. I don’t blame you for taking a break…it’s good to hear these devs gushing about the system though, looking forward to getting my hands on it.
@charliecarrot They lost their minds in here over Skyward Sword HD aka SixtyDollarGate...what a weekend that was. Sold over 4 million copies and I believe it outsold the Wii original. I purchased the HD version and thoroughly enjoyed it!
Mate of mine came round and we had a session of Streets of Rage 4 on hardest. Non stop laughter. He’d never played it before and thoroughly loved it. He grabbed a copy for his PS4 today.
@jfp Hahahaha....always laugh when that happens. Anyway, Game Key Cards? Not fussed. Mostly digital these days, I only have about 6 Switch games physical.
@TerribleTerabytes I don't get the point of going into meltdown about how other people spend their money. Seems a bit odd. He's not going to take your advice in any shape or form, much the same as if you tried to tell me how to spend my money I would completely disregard it. Plus he's obviously not as bothered about framerates as you.
@7h0r you said on the 14th September: "The switch 2 is overpriced and underpowered and I’m just done. Steam Deck for life, good bye Nintendo. The Nintendo I knew and loved growing up is dead."
@electrolite77 I noticed a bunch of the doom posters who magically turned up on here after the Switch 2 direct posting constant negativity have vanished. They probably realised nobody was rising to their attempts and gave up. I see there's still a couple floating around spewing the same script though...
@GrailUK I remember them saying that...and saying wouldn't it be great if they added Virtual Boy to the NSO. As usual (going straight onto the bingo card) "not like this Nintendo!!!???!?!??!!!"

Re: ICYMI: Switch 2 Available For Purchase At The My Nintendo Store (US)
@LUIGITORNADO no tariffs outside the USA. Luckily your mangerine leader has no control outside the states.
Re: Poll: So, Did You Get Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 For Switch?
Waiting until I get a Switch 2 in November.

Re: ICYMI: Switch 2 Available For Purchase At The My Nintendo Store (US)
@JohnnyMind you always get the naysayers, apparently the Switch was "rotting on shelves" in 2017 according to someone in the comments back then...
Re: ICYMI: Switch 2 Available For Purchase At The My Nintendo Store (US)
Only here to read the snarky comments...

Re: Digital Foundry Breaks Down Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 On Switch 1 & 2
@Hank_Scorpio almost spat my beer out…It’s a new Switch 2 feature called Dark Mode. Like the Depths but with added silence.

Re: Digital Foundry Breaks Down Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 On Switch 1 & 2
@Hank_Scorpio yes but what about if you zoom in 400% and play it at 1/8th speed?
Re: Random: Nintendo's Switch Online 'Expansion Pack' Trailer Is Now Its Most Disliked YouTube Video Ever
@batmanbud2 It's mad, sometimes I go back in time to see how things have changed, I completely forgot this outrage!

@charliecarrot They lost their minds in here over Skyward Sword HD aka SixtyDollarGate...what a weekend that was. Sold over 4 million copies and I believe it outsold the Wii original. I purchased the HD version and thoroughly enjoyed it!
Re: Review: Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Switch) - Still Out Of This World
All new to me...and as has been said before with a lil scouting you can easily pick them up below RRP.
Re: UK Charts: FC 26 Scores An Early Winner And Keeps Sonic Racing From The Podium

@basswitch enjoyed that little bout of nostalgia there!
Re: Game-Key Cards A "Sales Strategy Decision", Says Resident Evil Requiem Director
@jfp Never gonna happen...either way, have a good weekend.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (27th September)
Mate of mine came round and we had a session of Streets of Rage 4 on hardest. Non stop laughter. He’d never played it before and thoroughly loved it. He grabbed a copy for his PS4 today.
Re: Game-Key Cards A "Sales Strategy Decision", Says Resident Evil Requiem Director
@jfp look how simple that discourse between me and you was. Civil, polite, none of that Spanish soap opera nonsense. No edgelord sneering.
Re: Game-Key Cards A "Sales Strategy Decision", Says Resident Evil Requiem Director
@jfp I could so easily take that last post in a direction but I will stay polite lol.

@uncleMike I thought it was just me who heard that....
Re: Review: EA SPORTS FC 26 (Switch 2) - A Fantastic Football Game, Once You're Used To The Frame Rate
@TerribleTerabytes perhaps because it's ridiculously trivial in the grand scheme of life? I dunno. Horses for courses I suppose.

Re: Nintendo Of America Reportedly Cuts Loose Customer Service Contractors As It Looks To Outsource
@SakuraHaruka Looks like the site got the desired result...they know how easy this lot are to wind up, works every time.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Checking Out Switch Online's Virtual Boy Service?
@PhilW I think that's what a lot of people will do, just get it for nostalgia's sake and sit it on the side.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Checking Out Switch Online's Virtual Boy Service?
@7h0r you said on the 14th September: "The switch 2 is overpriced and underpowered and I’m just done. Steam Deck for life, good bye Nintendo. The Nintendo I knew and loved growing up is dead."
Why are you still here?
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Checking Out Switch Online's Virtual Boy Service?
@axelhander which billionaire corporation? Sony? Microsoft? Nintendo? Valve? Asus? Apple? Samsung? Nvidia? Grow up son.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Checking Out Switch Online's Virtual Boy Service?
@ZimmerRemmiz stop trying to bring reason to the comment section. It’s all about outrage! Grrrr etc. 😃
Re: Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 Gets A Seven-Minute Overview Trailer
@SpaceboyScreams you said on another article "Wake me up when I can listen to Egg Shell Hotel Annex."
Why are you still posting? Go back to sleep....
Re: Japanese Charts: Switch 2 Surpasses 2 Million Units Sold
@Giancarlothomaz yep but apparently it’s dead. It’s the Switch all over again.
Re: Japanese Charts: Switch 2 Surpasses 2 Million Units Sold
@electrolite77 I noticed a bunch of the doom posters who magically turned up on here after the Switch 2 direct posting constant negativity have vanished.

Re: Japanese Charts: Switch 2 Surpasses 2 Million Units Sold
@Giancarlothomaz it took them 6 months to sell 1.95m Switch units in Japan. The Xbox? errrrr..... PS5? Two years.
Re: Japanese Charts: Switch 2 Surpasses 2 Million Units Sold
@Aeralto ^^^ See above me...must be gospel.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Switch Comparison Video Makes Nintendo's Upgrades Clearer

Re: Opinion: Metroid Prime 4 Reminds Me Of Gears 5, And It's Making Me Nervous
@jfp They're using the exact same tactic, sowing seeds of doubt before the game is even released.
Re: Opinion: Metroid Prime 4 Reminds Me Of Gears 5, And It's Making Me Nervous
It's the Metroid cycle (no play on words) all over again....by the time it comes out, everyone talks themselves out of buying it.
Re: Opinion: Metroid Prime 4 Reminds Me Of Gears 5, And It's Making Me Nervous

Love the way they stoke the flames before you even get a chance to read the article. Sure this will get deleted but whatever.
