@Agent_P says who? Should be no problem charging a switch. Certainly that will cause a bit of heat but nothing to worry about.

@Yosher how is it better than GKC?

Hell yeah indeed!

@Metazoxan I mean 180 is actually 29 more than in gen 1. I'm not defending TPC here but its a lot more mon than gen 1.

14k/120hz is impressive!

@Vyacheslav333 yes it’s very popular. My whole family plays.

@Arkz There are Tomb Raider games on nintendo systems and even if there weren't Tomb Raider is a very popular franchise that might interest Nintendo fans.

@-wc- You are exactly correct, I came here to say something similar but you've nailed it. People act as though Presumption of Innocence and Freedom of speech are somehow extended to interactions with private corporations. You can think it's a good idea to presume innocence and I would argue it's a critical component of a good legal system but the idea that people don't form opinions on tenuous evidence all the time is ridiculous. It's precisely because of human nature why we need to implement these rules in our judicial/government systems.

Honestly my favorite part of this is drinking the tears of the haters. There are some people who so despeartely hate Nintendo/Pokemon and seeing them lose their minds because these games do well makes me giggle. EDIT: I forgot also to enjoy the tears of the anti-GKC crybabies!

@Shade_Koopa I'm fine with it but it do think it's weird that Dick is excluded. Dick can be an actual name. It's really weird.

@Nep-Nep-Freak Huh? What "censor crap" are you talking about?

@MathByThePixel It's not that hard of a game, If you glitch or even just know what you're doing it's very easy to beat in a day or so.

@Nanoline52 you know they're going to release Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald. I mean it's not announced but it would be ridiculous for them not to at this point.

@AstroTheGamosian The only way to have multiple save files on a single console is to create additional users. If you want to trade with yourself you're going to need 2 consoles.

@shoeses It's due to how games are rated. If they reprogrammed the games to include multi-language they would have had to re-submit for rating and it would have been rated higher because of the "gambling" aspect. It's not a technical limitation it's a regulatory one.

@justin233 you sound like fun. I’m going to be over here having fun playing Pokemon.

Can’t freaking wait. This is lining up almost perfectly with my playthrough of the entire series (about halfway through gen 2 at the moment). I’m buying at least 3 copies for me my wife and my kid.

@BLK_4EVER "Paid upgrades will never sit right with me. You're paying to use the full potential of hardware you already purchased." --- but the software was released for the previous platform (aka Switch 1). It takes time and effort to optimize for a new platform. $5 is more than fair. It's not like you can't still play the game at it's original performance if you elect not to purchase it. The game is fantastic either way although this upgrade patch is a no-brainer to me.

"That's like Nvidia charging a person an upgrade fee to play old games at a higher resolution and frame rate on the graphics card they just purchased for hundreds or thousands of dollars.😐" --- No it's not.

@Simu001 Yes, it will be useless in 20+ years when they turn off the service.... but you can enjoy it until that time. I understand people not thinking this is "worth it". If so, just don't purchase it. I don't get the argument that they should only release things they are planning on supporting forever. It's absolutely your perrogative to not support products you feel aren't worth the money but complainng that this is tied to NSO is kinda wild to me.

Wouldn't the steam deck be PC? Why are they counting them as separate platforms?

@Robot99 I pay for Kagi you can try it out for free (I think)

Not a great showing for switch 2. Maybe I'm just impatient but I really want to see what this system is capable of. Seems as though 3rd parties aren't embracing it as quickly as I was hoping.

@StarCollector I bought it and then immediately refunded it when I found it didn't have touch controls. It makes no sense. I really wish they would just release the iOS version already.

@FlyingDunsparce Actually I think it is. What is your source for this claim (that Nier is not fixed)

@JCnator I think it's an economy of scale issue. They want to make only a single size because that means it's cheaper to manufacture. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm not expecting to ever see anything other than 64GB. The writing's on the wall for physical games unfortunately.

@JCnator That.... is not how that works at all. There is no reason to believe nintendo is going to provide carts larger than (or smaller than) 64gb ever.

@DrGynk External SSD support is never going to happen.

This review and comment section are so refreshing. It's nice to see everyone know what a game is about and be excited for it. I used to scoff at musou games but as I've grown older I'm starting to get it. Sometimes mindless fun is what we're all after Not sure if or when I'll pick this up but it does seem like it's well executed I hope all who are picking it up have a blast!

@Cheez I see what you're saying. The problem is that companies will usually ship what they can get away with. Unfortunately, since everyone loves Pokémon and there are a lot of "casual" fans who don't really care about fit and finish of video games, this is what we get. To be honest. I understand on a rational level that the game isn't as good as it should be from a technical standpoint but when I'm actually playing it most of those concerns melt away and I just have fun. All these people saying "vote with your wallet" don't get it. People ARE voting with their wallet. They want the game and think it's worth the price. You can disagree with that all you want and not purchase it but I, personally, think you are missing out on a good time. I hope gamefreak does better next time but until I stop having fun playing Pokémon games I will continue to purchase them (and 3 copies at that for my family).

Came for the comments, was not disappointed. No matter what you think it seems that EVERYONE has a fairly strong opinion about this game!

Day one purchase.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant agree completely. Such a simple thing that they have messed up. Completely ruins it for me.

I'd be down for a forsaken remake!

@Paulo Utter rubbish. A single game having poor optimization has absolutely nothing to do with the platform. This has everything to do with poor code/optimization quality from from soft.

@OrtadragoonX It's been 3 years since XC3 released.

@CutchuSlow My guess is a new xenoblade game in 2027.

@Koda1000 I think this move is terrible and greedy but it definitely doesn't "go against Nintendo's backward compatibility system". You can still play the OG version in the Switch 2. Backwards compatibility isn't broken whatsoever.

Look, MKW is a bundle of fun but it’s a damned shame more people haven’t experienced Xenoblade Chronicles X: definitive edition. It deserves to be higher on this ranking.

@Truegamer79 Ok, let's take a step back. While I am in no way a fan of Game Key Cards, they are still infinitely better than a cloud version of a game.

@Sambuc Let's not use Ubisoft as an example of what anyone should be doing.

Skill issue. Git gud.

@Dan420 it’s a pretty small nit to pick. I agree you have useful data. Just my inner process nerd coming out to optimize a workflow.

@Dan420 great testing. Thanks for the info. Only one small thing. You should test with auto brightness off to ensure no extra variables. But as long as you didn’t move locations it should be pretty close regardless.

@Ellie-Moo Switch 1 games last longer on the switch 1. The switch 2 has worse battery no matter what game is played.

@Truegamer79 because most gamers no longer have a Wii U. He’ll most gamers NEVER had a Wii U.

I bought one but shall be returning it. It's a really nice controller but for the time being I'm fine with my OG pro controllers. I will probably pick one up once they have tasty special editions come out.

Day one purchase for me! Super pumped! My body is ready!

Ah yes, How could I forget that "the amount of 'stuff' put into a game equates to it's quality."

I just decided to double dip on Cyberpunk primarily because it's all on the cart. Honestly it's a tough sell at $70 but it being on the cart pushed me over the edge (also I haven't played the expansion yet either so I'm excited for that).

@abbyhitter I'm sure you already know, but just in case you don't - Elden Ring is going to be released as a Game-Key Cart.
