Just trade your current Switch 2 and use the money to get the revised version whenever that comes. Yes, you might need to pay out a bit more overall but at least you can enjoy Switch 2 games til then.
With the rumours that this is planned as a (Tri Force) Trilogy this casting is good news. Could easily start off a bit lighter in tone with the story getting darker as the characters get older.
Relatively unknowns. Hopefully this will continue with the rest of the cast.
Fingers crossed we don't get The Rock as Ganondorf. 😔😬
Due to the Online icon rewards I ended up playing Metroid Fusion til completion last week but then moved straight on to Zero Mission and completed that too.
Well on the 17th they'll no doubt do an update to add Baby Pauline and more costumes for Donkey Kong and Pauline. They might even throw in a few more Kongs too.
No changes for me as I stopped collecting physical games a few years ago.
There's simply no time to replay them and play new games, so although I buy mainly physical, I sell the game on after completion.
I sold my USA N64 and GameCube collection over the last few years on eBay too.
Got MKW bundle for Switch 2. They'll support it for the life of Switch 2. And £35 is a bargain. With the £40 saving it's very likely that I would get less than that for selling the physical version in say, 6 years time.
I've also finished my Switch 1 backlog so I'm ready. 😊
I used to collect games. I brought my usa N64 and NGC down from my loft after 20 years. Didn't play on them for a year so sold them all gradually on eBay.
Just got Blast Corps left now but made a few grand as they were all boxed and in great condition.
I sell my Switch games after I've played them. I'll be selling my Switch too once the Switch 2 arrives.
I do however have all the smash amiibo on display. Even though I'm not a fan of the game.
Why do these 2 youtubers get articles on here still. They don't work for Nintendo now?
In other news the DLC will be fine when it eventually lands, free or not. I don't understand all the hate for a Mario Kart game being a AAA Title and priced as such.

Re: Nintendo Switch Console & Accessory Prices Are Going Up In The US
@Fiergala
Did you actually read my comment. There are NO add-ons for Switch 1 or 2.
YOU ARE TALKING 💩 FFS!
Re: Nintendo Switch Console & Accessory Prices Are Going Up In The US
@Fiergala
What are you on about? This has nothing to do with why prices are going up.
Nintendo hasn't released any add-ons for Switch 1 or 2.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's SNES Library With A Mouse Game
GNAT Attack finally after 33 years. This alone is worth the price of Switch Online.
Always loved Mario Paint though. Very quirky.

Re: Poll: How Many Hours Have You Spent In Mario Kart World So Far?
@Aerona Ahh you are one of them. Guessing you will buy MKW physical eventually then so it can sit on your shelf till you die.

@Aerona but not smart enough to get the bundle 😬

Re: Where To Pre-Order Nintendo Switch 2
@PapaGlitch
Think all Amazon UK orders say 7th at the moment. Hoping mine changes too.
Re: UK Retailer GAME Cancels A Bunch Of Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders
You can pre-order on Amazon UK again right now if anyone needs one. MKW Bundle and Solo.
Re: Poll: With One Week To Go, What Are Your Switch 2 Launch-Day Plans?
I will sit looking at my new pro controller and GameCube controller on launch day.
My Switch 2 isn't due to be delivered til Saturday 7th though. 😁
Re: Nintendo Is Taking Even More Steps To Prevent Switch 2 Scalping In Japan
It's a shame eBay don't do something. But with their so called 'buyer protection fee' they'll be making a lot of money from the scalpers sales.
Re: US Retailers Are Reportedly Starting To Receive Switch 2 Stock
Just put of interest is everyone who ordered from Amazon UK got a delivery date of Saturday 7th still?
I ordered on the first invitation thing they did so was hoping it would change to the actual release day by now 😭
Re: US Retailers Are Reportedly Starting To Receive Switch 2 Stock
"The downside, of course, is that leaks may well be possible in the coming days, so be alert folks."
So is NintendoLife not posting any leaks when they come?
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's N64 Library With Another Game
So DK64 and DKR in say, July 2026?
Gives MKW and DKB a year to settle in on Switch 2. 😊
Re: Talking Point: Are You Ghosting Switch 1 To Save Yourself For Switch 2?
Well, in April I finished my backlog of games. Then, once I could save my data to Nintendo's Cloud I sold my Switch and 2 pro controllers.
I am ready. 😊

Re: Here's A Look At The Back Of Mario Kart World's Switch 2 Box Art
Love the spine. Takes me back to my GameCube days. I'm getting the bundle though so it's good to see what I'm missing.
The console box art is on Nintendo Today too. Missing the UK version though.

This is the best response I've read on NL for years. Sums up my feelings too at the moment.
I'm 45, only ever had Nintendo consoles and will have only a Switch 2 in a month.

@Olliemar28
How about you do a poll to see who wants this type of news on a Nintendo site.
I'm not anticipating it at all because I have a nintendo system and it's unlikely to run on the Switch 2.
Are we gonna see more "news" like this going forward about every popular game franchise title that gets delayed because it might come to the Switch 2?
Re: PSA: Switch Update Adds Handy Feature Allowing System Transfer To "Dedicated Server"
If anyone tries it can you confirm if you can move your mii's over? Thanks.
Re: Yes, You Can Adjust The Camera In Mario Kart World
As usual people complaining about the price.
We've been playing MK8 for ten years.
MKW is worth the price.
If you can't afford it or are sensible get the bundle.
If you don't think it's worth £75 then why did you buy MK8, MK8 dlc, MK8D and MK8D DLC?
We'll no doubt be still playing it in 6 years time.
NintendoLife please do a survey of your readers age/location.
I feel like I'm too old for this site now.
Re: Switch 2's Dock Isn't Compatible With The Original Switch, According To Nintendo
Of course the Switch 2 dock can't be used with Switch 1.
Of course you can't use the Switch 1 dock for Switch 2.
Unfortunately society is getting dumber by the day.
Re: Nintendo Today Video Showcases The New Switch 2 Pro Controller
I've ordered one in the hope that it has a better D-Pad for when I play retro games.
I do need to retire my day one Pro 1 though. Be trading it and my Switch once I have the Switch 2.
For those in need you can order it from Amazon UK for delivery in November 🤣.
Re: Poll: GameStop Offers A Tempting Switch 2 Trade-In Deal, But Is It Really Worth It?
Being in the UK, once I've transferred things over to my Switch 2 I'll be trading my original first day grey Switch in for cash.
Not seen it anywhere but will we be able to transfer our mii's across? I'm sure they'll add their use to MKW eventually.

Re: "Stay Tuned" For Next Mainline Mario, Says Nintendo's Bowser
Due to Donkey Kong Bananza I can't see us getting Mario's next 3D game until late next year.
Metroid Prime 4, Pokémon and Hyrule Warriors will be the big hitters this Christmas.
Kirby's Air Riders will probably be delayed to 2026 too.

Re: amiibo Could Be Getting A Price Hike, According To GameStop Listings (US)
@Kiyata to collect the statue.
No different to physical game collecting really. They all just sit on the shelves once you've played with it. 😁
Re: Mario Kart World's 'Free Roam' Is Much More Than Mindless Open World Driving
It's definitely worth £75 to me.
Luckily I'm getting the bundle so it is £35.
And no doubt we'll get more content as chargeable DLC further down the track for the vocal minority to complain about.

Re: Watch: Got Questions About Switch 2? Ask Alex - Live!

Yeah. That's the issue with it. Especially when playing retro games. Fingers crossed they've fixed the issue on Switch 2 version.
Re: Watch: Got Questions About Switch 2? Ask Alex - Live!
I just want to know about the dpad on the new pro. But guessing no one has used that properly yet.
Although not many noticed how bad the Switch 1 version is.
Re: Zelda: BOTW Switch 2 Edition Won't Include The DLC, Nintendo Confirms

Re: Opinion: The Switch 2 Is A Powerhouse For The Price
£430 for Switch and MKW is good value to me. Be interesting to see what the games go for at other stores (not nintendo store).
Re: Talking Point: Does Switch 2 Have Nintendo's Best Launch Line-Up Ever?
I still think N64 had the best line up. All i needed back in 1997 was Super Mario 64.
