I bought them both separately on the same day as my local Walmart (the only place in my boondocks I could get a Switch 2) didn't have the bundle. It was pretty much priced the same as the bundle, and I regret nothing to this day. Best console purchase I've made so far.
If my little kids are up for it, we can go for several rounds of three-player Marvel Cosmic Invasion. Otherwise, I can settle down and enjoy the beauty of Red Dead Redemption: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. Weekends are for awesome gaming with the family.
Good thing it's still just on my wishlist. Hopefully it gets ironed out soon. I wouldn't believe the experience of a guy named "ApprehensiveLie8032" though.
As a side note, have they tried switching Yasuke off and then on again?
@Vyacheslav333 I don't know. I don't work for Nintendo nor have an uncle who works there. Go ask them about it.
I'm just a guy with an article opinion. That opinion is that game companies should draw the line with some content, particularly when they involve underage inappropriateness. That opinion is apparently an unpopular one these days. Oh, how society has changed.
How accurately Nintendo enforces that is something I have no control over, despite the seemingly popular belief in this comment section that I do.
@topsekret "You're defending Nintendo banning all these games and claiming that anyone against it is not a "decent person," so yes, I'll challenge you on that."
Perhaps challenge me on that if that was exactly what I was defending?
My comment was "if the underage fan-service really is the reason for this cancellation." Notice the use of the words "if" and "really" to suggest conditions to my agreement.
Take it up with Nintendo if they really are making broad, sweeping censorship decisions without regard for actual content, but if they really are doing it to correctly prevent inappropriate underage depictions from their shop, then I'm all for that.
@topsekret I don't recall ever claiming the title of "Receiver of All of Nintendo's Censorship Complaints." I was commenting about this article's particular topic, so I have no idea why your ire is directed my way for a shmup I have never heard of.
"pro-censorship in the name of 'saving the children...'"
I'm genuinely interested in hearing the defense against "saving the children." As a dad of two young gamers, if I were to hypothetically be "pro-censorship" on just one thing, I would rather it be about this than anything else.
@Gamer83 "The fanservice haters want it gone altogether, which is pathetic when they could just avoid it and let people who don't mind, enjoy those games."
This compromise would probably work for other issues, but the "people who don't mind" underage fan-service have no acceptable defense for their taste and are better off not being provided a way to indulge in it by any video game company.
Censorship is definitely an issue to be discussed, but I'm sure any decent person here could agree that if the underage fan-service really is the reason for this cancellation, then that shouldn't even constitute a disagreement.
@SuntannedDuck2 You seem angry and needlessly sad at the same time. We're a group of Nintendo fans who will happily console a fellow fan experiencing issues. We all go through rough times, but I know you can get through this. Virtual pats on the back for you, friend.
Don't worry, I'll watch the heartwarming Nintendo ad a few more times just for you, and will dedicate the added views to you. Cheer up!
As my very first Animal Crossing, the US version has a special place in my heart. The box art definitely fully embodies the concept of a "wild world" and deserves the votes.
As an avid breeder and NatDex collector, Sun/Moon and their Ultra-sequels were the peak of great Pokemon gaming for me, starting from the Game Boy games.
Then I played Shield, which destroyed the game for me. They lost me as a customer then.
They really need to get their act together with the series, though I doubt they ever will.

Definitely NA. Very iconic.
Re: Switch 2's Mario Kart World Bundle Has Apparently Reached The End Of Its Lifecycle

Re: Opinion: Marvel Cosmic Invasion Caps Off A Great Year To Be A Superhero Fan
This game was great. Superhero movies lately? Nope. I'd rather we just go back to making westerns.

Re: Higround Launches Sonic & Dreamcast Keyboards, And They're Stunning
The Dreamcast one looks great. $300 though? That's a heretically unholy price for a keyboard.
The others? Too garish for my taste. Simply color-theming would've been better.
Re: CRKD Announces The 'Nitro Deck 2', Compatible With Switch And Switch 2

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows On Switch 2 Supposedly "Unplayable" For Some Players After Repeated Crashes
Good thing it's still just on my wishlist. Hopefully it gets ironed out soon. I wouldn't believe the experience of a guy named "ApprehensiveLie8032" though.
As a side note, have they tried switching Yasuke off and then on again?
Re: Netflix Enters Agreement To Buy Warner Bros. For $82 Billion, Includes Game Studios
When everything you touch turns into steaming excrement, but you also have money to buy even more things to turn into steaming excrement.
Re: PSA: If You Want To Use Your Google Pixel As A Webcam On Switch 2, Try It Out Now
The article: "You can now use your Google Pixel as a Switch 2 webcam!"
Comment #13: "I hate Google because I hate Trump."
Well, I certainly didn't expect American politics to infiltrate an article like this, but I guess that's the Nintendo Life comments section nowadays.
Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.4.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I'm waiting for the patch that says "made it so that three-player and four-player split-screen still runs at 60 FPS."
Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.4.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@JohnnyMind It's unfortunately because a lot of players nowadays are entitled, spoiled, and have very short memories.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade's File Size On Switch 2 Is Making Us Sweat

Re: Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack Switch Western Release Cancelled
@Samalik I will be soon, actually! No worries, I'll do my best!
Re: Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack Switch Western Release Cancelled
@Samalik See Comment #99 for the answer.
Re: Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack Switch Western Release Cancelled
@Samalik Yup, saw them. Poor counterarguments, if I do say so myself. Thanks for supporting my opinion with them. High five, my guy!
Re: Animated Tomb Raider Series Returns To Netflix For A Second Season Next Month
@benmalsky198 I didn't say she wasn't. I said that despite her performance the show still could've been better.
Re: Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack Switch Western Release Cancelled
@Samalik See Comment #99.
(Also, it's "ad hominem.")
Re: Animated Tomb Raider Series Returns To Netflix For A Second Season Next Month
@benmalsky198 Of course they can. My advice is not a mandatory order. If they enjoy, then good for them.
A waste of time, though, I must say. Even Atwell's performance couldn't save this one.
Re: Animated Tomb Raider Series Returns To Netflix For A Second Season Next Month
Meh Raider. They missed the mark with this one. Play the games instead (except the torture/injury simulators).
Re: Corpse Party Tetralogy Pack Switch Western Release Cancelled
@Samalik You invalidated your opinion the moment you started with an insult.
Insult me all you want, my opinion still stands.

Re: Digital Foundry Delivers Its Tech Verdict On Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment

Re: Retro Nintendo Games Are Returning To Animal Crossing (Sort Of)
And here I was thinking you could play the entire NSO library of that particular console. If you have NSO already anyway, I don't see why not.
