Not interested in this unless it'll be included on NSO subscription like theMK8D/AC/Splatoon expansions.

Since this is not a limited run, I'll just wait when I can get the physical version for no more than 50. I think 3D All-stars was like 40.

@kmtrain83
Yeah, that's why I'm still waiting until now. 😅

I'll get it when it's 50, physical cartridge.

Haven't even bought Age of Calamity yet. Probably when they are 30 bucks.

Probably cheaper in Europe like 40€. Virtual Boy is only 80€ while US is $100. I'll wait for the Kirby amiibos to get cheaper though as I don't really like them. Metroid and Mario Galaxy amiibos are day one!

It's an Ubisoft game, and I'm not in hurry to play it. So I'll just wait for it and get the key card version when it's 20 bucks, maybe 30.

I still can't find my Hollow Knight cartridge I bought 4 years ago. I need to finish it first before buying Silksong.

I'm hoping they'd release a physical Switch 2 version with both HK and Silksong so I'll just double dip.

This is not Splatoon on the Wii U nor ARMS on the Switch that I was hoping for the Switch 2.

@JohnnyMind
It's very easy to create an account. I can make one in 5 minutes. Create email and a Nintendo account.

It's not that easy to return a console. It surely won't take 5 minutes. Or sell them in the second hand market without consequences. If someone has bought a bricked console, that's the risk the buyer is going to take.

This Direct.. changed everything. I'm excited to play it as soon as I get a Switch 2.

Question to those who own the Switch 2 physical editions:

Do the cartridges work on Switch 1 consoles?

Fast RMX was in my wishlist since Switch 1 launched. Time flies and I still haven't bought it. Now we have Fast Fusion on Switch 2. 😅

I told myself on Switch 1's launch day that I'll buy Fast RMX someday. Fast forward and now the Switch 2 has launched and it's still on my wishlist. I'll probably do the same on Fast Fusion. 😂

@SirLink
Same, I already ditched Disney+. I subscribed like for only the first 3 years. The price keeps going up! It was 50/60€ then 90€. I quit when it became 120€. Now it's 140€ lol.

I may subscribe for just one month this year just to watch Daredevil Born Again and Andor Season 2. I'm just waiting for another show to watch or movies I skipped on the cinema. I still have Netflix just because I subscribed from my country of origin and the premium sub only cost half.

@Joeynator3000
Ugh, It's been a while and tried to watch YouTube on TV yesterday. There's a 90-minute ad already!? I was doing some chores while listening/watching a documentary. Then boom! I have to stop what I'm doing to skip it (instead of waiting a 90-second ad to just play out) just because I got a 90-min ad on Loki on Disney plus. SMH

No nerf on Dr. Coyle? smh

@KociolekDoSyta
That's why it's better to just get it digitally on the bundle unless you plan to sell it later. We all know these type of games will get eventual updates. I usually just buy physical single player games that are just "complete editions" that I intend to keep.

Not getting a Pro Controller yet. I have all the LE Switch 1 Pro controllers that will work on Switch 2. I'll just wait for the next Switch 2 limited edition controller.

I'll just probably get the GC controller for now.

For the most fun, unique with a Nintendo twist, and my most played multiplayer online games:

The Wii U gave me Splatoon.
The Switch gave me ARMS.
I wonder what the Switch 2 will give me/us this time.

Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart Deluxe were just my 2nd most played online multiplayer games. Mario Kart World would probably be the same. And I'm not really into Smash Bros even though I tried to like it.

Then I'll just buy it digitally... when its 75% off.

I'll wait for the Switch 2 version.

@GabrielBacakPS
Nah, they are based on existing art/designs, animals or mythological creatures. Palworlds' designs were just body parts "swaps" from existing pokemons.

Can you still pair it and use it using USB cable through joycon charging grip @NintendoLife?

@Jeronan
But Nintendo couldn't charge them with plagiarism for some reason. It was pointed out on earlier articles/discussions. But you can't deny the blatant similarities on the designs.

Again, I think Nintendo is striking back where they can sue Pocketpair, even in if it seems ridiculous. The Nintendo legal team thinks so.

@Vil @Jeronan
I think it's the blatant character design similarities where Nintendo drew the line. But they can't sue them for that so they'd go somewhere else where they can sue PocketPair even if it seems ridiculous. So I think it's not about the game mechanics at all, but the character designs.

In my opinion, I think Nintendo doesn't care if you copy their gameplay or game mechanic. But if you blatantly copy their (pokemon) designs just interchanging some parts from one to another to avoid infringement, they'd go further and sue you where they can (on the game mechanic in this case) just to take down your game.

I bought the 1st one (limited edition) but it went straight to my backlog. 😅 I'm not in a hurry to get this one on Switch 2 unless I can find a good deal.

PS5 AAA games were already 80€ here in Europe. And those are regular editions. I recently got a PS5 last year, so I was looking into PS5 games in the past 6 months. I'm only buying those 50€ or less who goes on sale.

@Smithicus
Why, because they're against Nintendo? They effed up. Doesn't have anything to do what they're selling (which is why they are assuring their customers) as this has nothing to do with what they violated (revealing Switch designs prior).

At this point, I'll just wait for the PS6 version on 2027/2028. Or if there will be a Switch 2 "Pro".

Orange please. The red is too red it hurts my eyes. At least turn it down a little bit.

@MTMike87
I've read somewhere and some trusted Twitter posts that you can also lend DLCs. I'm not sure if it's separate virtual cards (DLC vs game) though as I didn't look further.

@slowpoke_tail
60fps 4-player split screen.

There's no more excuse for me not to buy Pokémon Violet for my kid. He's been asking for it since it was released. I told him it runs bad and I'm gonna get it only if it's half the price. 😅

So happy ARMS getting a free upgrade. I hope they re-release it on Switch 2 with all the expansion data on card just to give it another life. And throw in balancing updates please (aka nerf Dr. Coyle). I would buy it for the 3rd time.

@sketchturner
Maybe you were playing with the same account which will close the game when it detects you're playing the same game & the same account on 2 Switch consoles.

How it worked:
1) Console set as secondary can only play with the account who purchased the game.

2) On console set as primary by the account who purchased the game; you play with another account.

We've been doing it since ARMS & Splatoon 2.

@Skunkfish
We were able to.

@pikachupikachup
I know it's an exploit, it's not like piracy. I'm not mad just to be clear. I'm genuinely asking because we haven't able to play/try it yet. But that was my concern when Virtual cards were announced.

So now my kids can't play Splatoon 3 (or 2) together using my son's Switch Lite (who bought it on his account set in the console as secondary) and my daughter's Switch OLED (where son's account is set as primary)?

@nintendolife @Liam_Doolan
So it will upload all your data on ALL accounts then factory resets? Or just ONE account's data?

ARMS

Oh wait, it's not a series.

@AgentGuapo
Probably just 9. 1 regular, all 7 limited editions (iirc), + an extra Splatoon 2 LE. No issues.

@killercerial
The Joy-Cons are 50-50 for me on stick drifts. My son's Z&S Switch Lite too which was shelved for 2 years because of stick drifts and was out of warranty. I don't wanna 80-100€ just for repairs. But I sent it to Nintendo Europe for repairs as soon as they started doing it for free 2 years ago. So it's nice I guess.

I never had stick drifts in any if my 10 Switch Pro controllers (mostly limited editions). But I'm glad they've improved the Switch 2 ProCons. I'll not be buying them though unless they're limited editions. I'll just use my Switch 1 ProCons until they release one (Metroid please).

Nice, I'll take it instead of a new Fast & Furious 20.

@darylb24 @dskatter
I get where Jester is coming from though. The Direct (if my memory serves me correctly) implied that the "red" Switch 2 carts won't work on Switch 1 systems. I assumed it won't simply read the cartridge. Then there was this Tweet about the notch differences which further confirms Switch 2 cards won't work (and won't fit) on Switch 1 consoles.

@dskatter
I assumed you can't insert Switch 2 carts on Switch 1 because of that notch. Thanks for clearing it up. Cheers.

Never had a drift problems on my Switch Pro controllers. I have like 8 of them. The Joy-Cons though are very prone, even the Switch Lite sticks.

@JimNorman
I'm confused. But Switch 2 carts won't fit on Switch 1 console right?

I've had too many broken joy-cons when I was playing ARMS (on handheld mode) obsessively back then. I wonder how the magnetic Joycons 2 would hold up. Will it break? Or the Switch 2 tablet will break? Though I'm not planning on "raging" anymore, I'm just wondering.

There's still gyro-aiming with the right joycon2?
