@Purgatorium My bad. I'll admit the excitement and such has gotten to be, since I bought the Switch 2 first thing in the morning and have been conversing with many others on other websites about it.
@SBandy1 Very well. I apologize. I'll admit I got a little carried away, what with the Switch 2 finally being here and all. Looking back, I shouldn't have come at you like that.
@Purgatorium You'd be very, very surprised. Millions upon millions of people around the world are buying this right now, after all. And keep in mind, some of those people are scalpers and "jailbreakers". Just saying.
@JohnnyMind Thank you very much. Life has its ups and downs, but I'm glad that videogames will always be one of those "ups"... though they can sometimes be "downs" when you get to a tough boss or a hard puzzle and such. Regardless, this is only the beginning of my time with the Nintendo Switch 2, and I hope to enjoy it all the way to the announcement of the next big console.
@SBandy1 I mean, that part about fighting games being a nightmare to play with it doesn't surprise me. Fighting games originated in arcades, and the controls of arcade cabinets are totally different from console controllers. Fighting games are hard to play the way you did growing up, because most fighting games aren't designed with that controller in mind.
I'm sorry, but I don't see the point in this. I understand being interesting in the console's inner workings, but... this is a 500 dollar piece of technology. Do you really think the first thing some people are going to do with it when they buy it, is disassemble it? Especially when most of those people will likely have no idea what they're even looking at, or how to put it all back together, again?
@JohnnyMind I couldn't agree with you more. I got the Switch 2 about an hour ago, and Mario Kart World turned out to be more exhilarating than I expected. The price aside, I do believe I made the right choice. And I didn't even have to want in a horrifyingly long line for it, either.
@Kazman2007 Still commenting even though you've got nothing to say, I see. Why you've yet to learn your lesson, I'll never know. You really are too hardheaded for your own good.
@PessitheMystic Likewise. As interesting as this is, I really don't see the point in being this involved with the technology. Unless the person in question is just that interested in how the console and controllers function.
@Serpenterror Sure, but you've got to understand that children will always be Nintendo's primary demographic. This, they're going to design their technology with children primarily in mind.
@PapaGlitch Not to mention, it's got "Micro" in the name. It should be obvious it's going to be small, so comparing it to the monster that it the Nintendo Switch 2 is nonsensical.
It's a truly massive handheld console. I never really thought it'd be that big, but, when I took it out of the box and compared it to the size of the original Switch, I was blown away. Nintendo have outdone themselves yet again, it looks like!
@axelhander Clearly, you never played any game in the Splatoon series, because I can tell what you’re insinuating about it, and you couldn’t be any more wrong. You’re mistaken if you think such a thing is beyond me, but the fact your comment initially consisted of that one line where you compared Splatoon to McDonald’s? Why you bother commenting at all when this is what you do, I’ll never know.
@teo_o I understand. Especially when you take into account there'll undoubtedly be long lines in front of GameStops and other such stores on the 5th of June.
@Ryu_Niiyama Very good, then. And yes, I know how hectic this hobby can be from a monetary standpoint. Believe me, I know that all too well. I can afford it, as well, but there was definitely a time where it wasn't possible for me at all. A couple of years ago, I wouldn't at all think of buying the Nintendo Switch 2.
@Ryu_Niiyama I mean, there's going to be a lot of people who're going to pretty much never play the original Nintendo Switch again once the second one comes out, despite there being nothing wrong with the original one. It's kind of like how people ditch their old iPhones in favor of the latest model released, despite the fact the old one's fully functional.
So, you being able to still see the benefits the original Nintendo Switch has, and choosing to stick with it, is something I find bold. Or maybe the word I was looking for was "wise"? In any case, it's an overall good decision on your part.
@teo_o Are you kidding? You're going to miss out on so much: Hollow Knight: Silksong, the DLC for Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Mario Kart World, Chapters 3 & 4 of Deltarune, and that's just to name a few.
The last game I bought and played on my Nintendo Switch was Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, and I've got to admit it's a very good game to end my time with the console. For those who haven't played it, it's essentially Link's Awakening but Link uses a yoyo instead of the Master Sword. Believe me, it's much more exciting and thrilling than that sounds.
@JohnnyMind Very good, then. After all, with how infrequent some people here comment, or how antisocial some people here can be, it's nice to see people who're actually willing to have discussions and generally leave behind good comments and such.
@JohnnyMind On a bit of a side note, I just want to state I admire how much you frequent these articles. You're in almost every comment section, and that takes some serious dedication.
@axelhander Seriously? You have no idea how huge Splatoon is; it's one of Nintendo's genuine moneymakers alongside Mario, Zelda, and Pikmin, the last of which is utterly beloved in Japan.
@CaleBoi25 With how huge a series it's become, picking it to be one of the games featured on the cover of the book was a very good choice on their part.
@SlimPieEats You aren't wrong there about how interesting the console and the RPGs it houses have become. Now that I'm thinking about the kinds of RPGs that're on it, I really can't blame you for having such a massive backlog.
