So, if I haven't played any of the three spongebob games, which is probably the best one to get?

(forgive me if this is answered in the review. I don't have time to read it in full at the moment)

So much for all that confidence of just needing to wait a few months after switch 2 launched for prices to come down on express cards.

I'm glad I landed 512gb Lexar around S2 launch.

3, 2, 1! Hurry up and bag! Hurry up and take off last! And definitely dont use rocket start. I haven't touched mkw since july.

My money is ready for Forza Horizon.
Forza Horizon 2 is absolutely great, which should probably be the easiest one to run on switch 2, I would think. Or Forza Horizon 3. I'm skeptical of 5 running on switch 2, even if it does run on Series X. Horizon 4 is my least liked Horizon, don't like the winter season rotation.

Does digital CTR load significantly faster than the physical version on Switch 2? I've struggled to find the answer.

I'm still waiting for regular CTR to get discounted again to $13 to buy the digital version. (I have the physical version already)

Thanks, @TapuCoke<3

Help me out, Olliemar28, what is "tat"?

@vio @Krambo42

The price is why I'll get it later. I'd rather not pad Galaxy 1 and 2's launch sales and wait a bit to see if it goes on sale by black friday.

The game does look great, and I have been enjoying it. I don't regret paying full price; Granted, we know ubi will likely have a sale on it 1-2 months after it launched, if not by black friday.

Even though it's a rerun, it would be great if they made brand new masks dlc to drop in a switch news splatoon article.

Star Wars Outlaws - I'm 35 hours in, and still enjoying it. Great Star wars atmosphere, pew pew! Splatoon 3 Salmon Run.

@AlanaHagues From 2016-2020, I was downright impressed with Nintendo of America's customer service phone line. It was REFRESHING to deal with them most of the time. And it was surprisingly easy to get a real person on the line - shockingly easy (but it should be that easy to get a helpful person on the line, right? It what all people want when they need help). Back then, I couldn't recommend their phone line enough.

It sounds like those days may be over. Or maybe they were over since the pandemic. I haven't needed to use NOA's support since the pandemic.

@Mortenb My gut says Nintendo's not going to allow a game to transfer from the game card to system memory for the life of the switch 2. I'd love to be wrong.😆

But yeah, if we could install the game from the game card to system memory, most of these switch 2 game key cards could be full games on cheaper switch 1 game cards.

I had a feeling this could be an issue for game cards & demanding open world games. It's a bit disappointing.

@riChchestM Nintendo is just delisting boxing 2 from eshop store front, it will still be available for redownload it or download the updates if you own it physically or digitally.

Is nintendo restricting dev kits so there's less new switch 2 games to compete with in these early months of the console?

@dugan Oh, you have Trials Rising physically? I didn't remember it had a physical version. I have it digitally, and it loads pretty fast on switch 2. It's on sale on eshop for $4 USD. https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/trials-rising-standard-edition-switch/

I have 230 hours in Trials Rising.😆 I can't believe Ubisoft didn't port their previous Trials game, Trials Fusion. My money is still ready.

Keeping an eye on Mad BMX Skills 2. Thanks for the heads up PJ.

Rocket League: I'm very close to getting Reaper Ultra goal explosion at level 70😆😁.

Splatoon 3 Salmon Run, and started a new playthrough of Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion.

Mario Kart World continues collecting dust since there's no small battle mode map for couch multiplayer (like battle course 1), and the update mostly killed the 3 lap online racing.💩

@N00BiSH Thanks for the update<3

If it the game had an eshop page, I would have bought it.

$35 seems steep when it's $25 on steam, if wario64's reference is correct for eshop. This would have been an instant buy if it's $25.

@RupeeClock With Nindie presentations, it's surprising how often that the games I want only seem to appear in the sizzle reel. It's a strange pattern. I guess my gaming tastes aren't in tune with whoever runs nintendo's Nindie presenations.

@CaleBoi25 Ahh😆. Japanese love making stuff like this<3 That's pretty sick!😁

Timbs in the summer!😁

Cameras would have sold better during the pandemic.

If a new Just Dance is bundled with a camera, I would think they'll sell more. After seeing just dance on xbox one with the connect camera, just dance + camera seems like the ideal/superior way to play.

Xtreme to the max!😉

Yeah, I noticed when you ride a railroad track, you grind/manual if you're on a bike. It's a nice touch.

With such a weak battery, and the same matte coating that switch 1 had, finger touching will show wear in 1-3 months, I can't ignore the planned obsolescence. On top of the less consumer friendly repairability for the console and joycon 2. This is why I will score the console low in votes.

@nintendolife The lack of a weaponless, musrhooms only, or coins only racing modes, and now this update killing track racing online, WTH is Nintendo doing?? This is very frustrating for early adopters that loved mario kart 8 AND shelled out $80 for MKW.

For what? So Nintendo marketing can purposely keep online tracks or weaponless online racing modes hostage for a mysterious number of years until their marketing team want's to drop these modes into a direct? Modes that should already be in the game.

How many years do I have to wait for these basic options for my $80 game? This update has marks where my MKW starts collecting dust for online racing.

I'm already over racing MKW online because blue shells & shocks ruin the race when you're winning. So, online racing is already collecting dust from me.

Mario Kart World needs a weaponless racing mode badly, or mushrooms only, or mushrooms & coins.

And battle modes need smaller maps like MK8 & MK7. These giant maps ruined the modes.

I thought this was supposed to be a launch day title? And I was surprised & confused last week or so, when I noticed it wasn't even on eshop.

There's blurring on my switch 2 screen? I think we need to qualify what blurring is. Do I need a lab and a white coat to see this blurring?

Learned a new word, "cognocenti". Thank you dartmonkey!😉

DK Bananza is the new Luigi's Mansion(gamecube)]. Everyone was expecting a new 3d mario on gamecube, assuming we're getting a 3d mario/Mario 64 sequel, but we got not-mario & got Luigi's Mansion instead.

Although, at least DK is a 3d platformer. We'll see it's it reviews well.

HO LEE SHIP!!!
EYE OF JUSTICE is BACK!!!🌈🌈
Best. Headgear. Ever.
I never thought I'd see the day.
My ability chunks are ready to make it's main ability ink saver sub.👌

Team Land is my choice. I love a long summer drive to the beach/vacation with some fresh podcasts & choice tracks. Love the Mario Kart World-esque car on the Land tshirt. Plus yellow ink is the funniest - you know why!😆

Adding tempered glass is a day 1 step for switch & switch 2

My launch switch and OLED screens remained perfect because I put tempered glass on them day 1. I've been very pleased with amFilm 2pk w/ alignment tool for switch 2. The tacky dust removal film and alignment tool make this the smoothest glass install I've done.

What's the point of controlling novelty vehicles for 30 seconds? The blue speedboat, literally designed like a speedboat, just sloths & floats on the water like a dying whale - no speed. The semi truck is fun, but too short lived. UFO, too limited on control, speed, and time - I will applaud beaming up things. All of these novelty vehicles to posses could easily be more amusing and worth tracking down more than once or twice.

I put switch 2 side by side with my OLED, and I struggle to see a difference. If I only saw the screen and not the consoles, I could guess wrong as to which was which.

@tsim21 There's a lot of game there. And Splatoon 3's Salmon Run is splendid.

YES! A new single player!? I think splatoon is prime for a fuller single player experience. I'd love if this is coming soon.

Is this Radiers reveal and the S3 content update all we're getting for the Splatoon 10 year anniversary?🤔 My money is still ready for a splatoon 1 single player port.

Games you say?🤔

@TKundNobody I registered for MKW bundle with nintendo immediately when the direct ended, meet the requirements, and still haven't gotten an invite. I only got an email two weeks ago saying I'm in the queue. I guess I'm fortunate I landed an in-store preorder elsewhere.

I would have thought there would have been some charm, or more charm, to this. This video did not help.

Oh, I'm reporting this guy for promoting youtube channel. Jk<3😁

@Ganner With out an invite email at this point, I would start thinking about trying to land launch day switch 2 at a retailer. Jake Randall's youtube has been a very good resource foe knowing what's going on at different stores, and his channel is focused on helping people secure consoles in the US. I imagine he'll post a new video update covering what Liam covered in this article. I would watch his most recent video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXAooCByNbk.

With the way things are rolling out, you can get up to three chances for a console at launch, june 4 at 3pm at gamestop (starting at 3pm, you can reserve one of their launch day consoles), midnight at best buy, then when target opens the following morning. ...If Target doesn't come through, I think Staples might fly under the radar enough you they may be a good chance of landing a console there. So, you may have four options, since staples may open later than target. With all these retailers offering in-store only consoles, I think you could have a decent chance to land a console.

Splatoon 2 was my first Splatoon, and I do like the single player. I've been dying for the option to buy Splatoon 1 single player for the Switch, my money has been ready ...and collecting dust. Still waiting for Nintendo to get off their duff and port Splatoon 1 to the switch or switch 2.

I just played a run through the Side Order tower a couple days ago.

Ug.

Still never even got english physical versions of Spaltoon 2+DLC or Splatoon 3+DLC.

@NintendoLife I don't want a switch 2 logo broadcasting a switch inside. There isn't much on the market for carry all travel cases for swtich 2. If NL ever finds a decent DSLR camera case that fits a switch 2 well (possibly with customizable padding dividers), I'd love to see some options.

Is that thing still around? Gee wiz. (disinterested eye roll)
(😉)

SURELY, for 85 flipping dollars, some GENIUS company that LOVES making quirky, innovative controllers could make a great switch pro controller with analog triggers.🤔🤔🤔🤔 (If you can't tell, I'm implying NINTENDO should alredy be making this alternative pro controller of equal quality & features of a switch pro controller. If Nintendo or HORI can make a damn steering wheel, you can make a switch pro controller with analog triggers, like every race game liker wants. Not a gamecube controller with less buttons than a proper pro controller, or wierdly shaped/placed buttons) We need a proper controller with analog triggers because pushing a stick up for gas is so awkward and awful, it's just not serious.

And don't say 8bitdo. I just want a ninetndo controller. But if it has to be 8bitdo, please just make it look like the existing nintndo pro controller, and not something weird looking.

After 8 years of the switch and NO galaxy 2, I'm so bitter now. I think Ninendo's NEVER going to let it out of their precious clutches. Why would they ever release it now when they could save it for Switch 3?
