I haven't bought a physical cartridge game in years and I have no regrets about being full download only. (And I'm from the NES era, so I've had my share of boxes and cartridges and stuff.)
This is fine, but, um, I'm just gonna keep using Dekudeals with its wishlist notifications and numerous sorting options, price tracking, and rather robust and quite accurate recommendation algorithm.
Very curious to see how updated Switch 1 games are handled on 2; full price to update? Like, If Prince of Persia gets a Switch 2 facelift and I already owned it on Switch 1... (This goes for all games, not just Ubi)
I don't have an issue with having a big 2, it's just that this 2 is so...chonky and corporate-y. It's almost tooo big, and it's just...there. I'd absolutely love to see the alternate ideas.
@rjejr exactly. Did they have a functional, playable Switch 2? No. Do they have a everything they need to make their accessories correctly? Absolutely.
What's more interesting than what subtle changes the main device body has in comparison to the Switch 1 will be the UI and what Nintendo has changed/updated/polished/made-more-fun-hopefully since the original Switch UI which is basically 10 years old now.
The software has much more room to change and develop than a device form factor that still has to play all original Switch games.
A stronger Switch that's basically the same look as the original is all I need, so games from the last few years and into the near future don't struggle to play and don't have all their textures removed and knocked down to blurry smears.
@StewdaMegaManNerd Yes, this company that lives and dies on their product fitting the main device they're accessorizing just right went out of their way to design, market, produce, and show to the industry as a whole at CES a product that they just made up with no intention of making whatsoever, putting their entire reputation on the line all for fleeting Nintendo rumor points. Yes, okay, sure.
I really don't see how people still expect Nintendo to come out with something drastically different (if different at all) at this point. These companies make actual money on these products, they don't have any reason at all to make fake accessories that won't go with the final device. There isn't going to be a "whoaaa it's totally different than what everything has led to!! π«¨"
Oof, I haven't used a Joycon to play a game in years, it's all about the wireless Pro-esque controllers for me. Not sure how this is gonna translate if it's a needed aspect.

Re: Absurd Boomer Shooter 'Turbo Overkill' Shadow Drops On Switch
@Princess_Lilly Carmack and Romero et al. are all GenX
Boomers were the ones at that time complaining that video games were getting too violent
Re: Absurd Boomer Shooter 'Turbo Overkill' Shadow Drops On Switch
@Princess_Lilly Because Boomers weren't the ones that played/grew up with Doom/Quake/Wolfenstein/etc, that was GenX and Y.

Re: The Switch eShop Is A Nightmare, So We've Made Our Own "Better eShop"
Pretty sure Nintendo didn't give you the rights to use their music for your competitor shop front, just sayin'...
Re: The Switch eShop Is A Nightmare, So We've Made Our Own "Better eShop"
Are you actually allowed to use "eShop"? That seems like a trademark issue waiting to happen...

Re: Round Up: 'Switch 2' Renders Suggest A Sleek, Classy Successor
@Edu23XWiiU They can still create their product without having seen it in-hand, that's what autocad files and detailed measurements are for.
Re: Round Up: 'Switch 2' Renders Suggest A Sleek, Classy Successor
@Lizuka Even the 2 used on the cover of Mario Galaxy 2 would have been just enough of a fun, nintendo-y touch. oh well.
Re: Round Up: 'Switch 2' Renders Suggest A Sleek, Classy Successor

Re: Is This Our Best Look Yet At 'Switch 2'?
That's exactly what someone who has a functional Switch 2 would say.
