One of the best and most chokings endigs of the NES era. Loved NES Bionic Commando, one of my favorite games of my childhood Is the Game Boy version as good?....
Until they add a difficulty select Im thinking of stop playing it... it seems is just not for me, as it feels just boring difficult at times, mainly boss fights, platforming is difficult but not that unfair. I love the art, the story, music... but the game start to bore me because of its difficulty. Hollow Night was more balanced for me.
Well, about the stickers... I would Imagine that official Nintendo Tech support will have tons of these cheap stickers to be replaced anytime the console needs repairing... And using stickers in this case is not really a poor desing choice... its a necessity as you need the thinnest pieces between the magnets and the joycons in order to work as desired...
Why are people expecting innovation in every console? Most Nintendo Home Consoles where just upgrades from the one before, not much innovation really. With the exeption of the Wii and the Switch.
Until a new Mario or Zelda, I will stay in this side of the Switch... If the New Metroid was an Switch 2 exclusive, I would have thinked about it... Im still grumpy it was not called Super Switch, such a lost oportunity!
I dont get it. Why would anybody choose the NA version??? Is ugly as sin! The japanese is classy, and nice to look at. Those CGI graphics looked bad then, and even worse now
@TenEighty $450!!! Told you
Im sad about the high price, but at least I “won” an internet argument with an unknown person!
“Always look at the bright side of life”
@TenEighty Those prices increases are roughtly for 5 years between generation. This is after EIGHT years... You clearly dont understand (or maybe dont want to) how inflation goes. Its have being 8 years. Prices goes up. Maybe you are still too young to notice it, but as time passes you can buy less things with the same amount of dollars. Thats inflation... some years have higher inflation than others. As the Switch 2 is essentially an upgrade of the OG switch with more modern internals, it should cost roughtly "the same", considering inflation that is 400$ aprox. and now, with those new tariffs, prices could be even higher. Nintendo could always adjust its reveneu model in order to make it cheaper... but 400$ sound more than logical and fair to me.
@Jiggies The switch was 300$ 8 years ago.. it selled awesome.
After 8 years, or 30% of inflation, that give us about 400%.
Why would they sell it for less?
@TenEighty lol. So you want it to cost the same as the original 8 years ago?, 300$ after 30% accumulative inflation is 400$... seems right. Technically both consoles will cost the same, inflation considered.
SMB2 deserves much more love.... Wonder was such a revelation to me, should be higher... maybe at 4th place. I cant deny SMBW as the best... by I will always prefer SMB3!
@Poco_Lypso I think for Mario the minifig scale would not be that great, too small. I only can think of Peach Castle, Bowser Castle, and Bowsers Ship...and not many big enough locations to have a lots of sets really...
@Bigmanfan " underclocking the single chip while handheld could be more efficent than having two independent GPU for each type of use, as the Switch did" I was trying to say that the Switch have a single chip that is undrerclocked while handheld... and that solution seems more efficent. My English is not the best, sorry.
About the dock with a additional chip, yeah, you maybe correct.
@Bigmanfan Sure underclocking the single chip while handheld could be more efficent than having two independent GPU for each type of use, as the Switch did. But, having a "suplemental computing device" inside the console, could be an interesting idea. Nintendo, which I asume have smarter guys than both of us, even have a patent for that idea. Maybe a separate accesory, say a Pro Dock?
Anyway.... the extra fan in the dock idea is not that bad either.
@Bigmanfan How do you know how the S2 dock works? you have a uncle working at Nintendo? Sure, maybe it will probably just be like the dock from the current console, but it would be nice if it could have an additional chip (and a fan) to enhance its graphical power when the battery consumption is not a problem in TV mode....
Never understood the lack of love for SMB2. Sure its different, sure it may not originally concieved as a Mario game... but it have its DNA in it. The game was lots of fun, original gameplay, lovelly weird ideas, and full of awesome new characters. One of my all time favorites. Ah, and the ending was one of the best of the NES era.
So black, so boring, so "un nintendo". I prefer Nintendo trying to be a fun "toy" than a serious game machine. (leave that to Sony or Steam). If its specs lags behind the competition, dont try to look "radical" and "grown up". I prefer Nintendo when it taps our inner child.

Re: Switch 2 Predicted To Cost "$400 Or More"
@TenEighty Nintendo recent History:
-GC, 2001=$199 ($353 adjusted for inflation)
-Wii, 2006=$249 ($389 Adjunsted)
-Wii U, 2012=$349 ($477 adjusted)
-Switch, 2017=$299 ($399 adjusted)
-Switch 2, 8 years later ??
lol, What history are you talking about?
The Switch had a low power mobile chip... it sell very well at its price... EIGHT YEARS AGO.
Re: Switch 2 Predicted To Cost "$400 Or More"
@Jiggies The switch was 300$ 8 years ago.. it selled awesome.
