Ebay shouldn't allow this according to their pre-order policy that it must ship within 40 business days. No point reporting them though.

Amazon UK will be relisting Switch 2 this week with no need for invitations for those in need.

I do wonder how much CEX will give for cash for a Switch 2 on release though.

I'm still more interested in the dpad.

Has that been rebuilt from scratch?

Coz if it is the same it'll make a lot of retro games unplayable with it again.

Not read the article or watched the tree houses etc... the game will end up being spoilt too much by everyone come June 5th when it arrives.

I will watch the direct though and browse the photos on here.

Can you review the dpad on the Pro Controller if you go to any other Switch events. Thanks.

Mouse mode for me will be good for Pikmin 5 eventually.

But I really hope they will put Mario Paint out so I can play the fly swatter game again. That and it being used for Superscope games too.

@veeflames Are the Switch 2 boxes wider? They look it in the photo but as you've seen them in reality you might be able to confirm it. Thanks

I expect them to release a new nes pad without the rail too.

@ThatZeldaNerd

I expect the dlc to be new worlds packs. Zelda, Metroid, Splatoon etc...

@N8tiveT3ch

Maybe it does then. Unless they are air holes?

@N8tiveT3ch

No usb on the side as you have one at top of switch console now.

@beartown Yes. They said there was no fault with it. Anyone who has used the dpad (except most reviewers) know this.

Mad as they invented the thing. 😁

@beartown

I actually sent my pro to Nintendo to fix back in 2019 and they denied all dpad issues. So hope they have done something so you don't end up going in a different direction to what you press, especially in retro games, on this one.

@Dev-N I noticed it straight away in the trailer. 😁

I expected the console to be between £350 to £400 so the digital bundle with MKW is a no brainer. No doubt MKW will be supported with extra DLC tracks throughout the life of Switch 2.

Yes physical games are a bit steep as the jump in price is a lot more than expected, but as I don't collect games but sell them on afterwards it'll work out okay for me.

I want to be the penguin

@Patendo Remember the physical price is Nintendo's RRP from The Nintendo Store so there will still be cheaper options from other stores.

As long as it isn't 20 minutes explaining joycons again like they did with the Switch 1 or their amazing rumble which I've found to be awful on Switch games for the last 8 years....

Apart from my rant I'm looking forward to it 😊.

I'll probably just read the highlights here as I don't want to spoil the games I'll be buying too much. 🙂

Chris Pratt dubbing over the voice of Link, although he doesn't speak in the films. Maybe.

Be good if was a trilogy. Looking for each part of the Triforce per film maybe.

What Switch game do you want to see get a 'Nintendo Switch 2 Edition'?

None. I won't be rebuying a Switch 1 game I've already completed.

Hoping Metroid Prime 4 improves things automatically with the same Switch 1 cartridge though, when played on Switch 2.

New Pro Controller with a decent dpad this time that doesn't make your character randomly change direction on nes/snes games.

That is all 😁.

Considering I sell my physical games after completion I'll be selling my Switch and the Pro Controllers.

Recently sold a pair of Joy Cons too.

The money I get helps fund the cost of the Switch 2. Got a good 8 years out of my grey day one Switch though 🙂.

I don't play handheld so no need for OLED for me. That's why I still have my launch day switch.

I have an 2017 OLED TV with Burn in though and have ordered a non OLED TV in preparation for my Switch 2.

I might go back to OLED in future but only if Burn In is no longer a thing.

@JohnnyC

That's why they released that vertical joy con charging stand in preparation.

But I also think they'll re-release the nes pads without the rail that can be charged via usb. I'll buy one then.

Yup. Very likely so that thick people don't buy a Switch 2 game to use in a Switch 1.

I'd prefer the Switch 2 cartridge box to be smaller than the Switch 1 box though.

@Nightcrawler71

The Pro Controller most likely will be compatible but I'll be upgrading to the Switch 2 version.

Guessing there'll be a redesign for their NES pad now without the rails too. Hopefully it'll just have a usb cable for charging like the SNES ones.

@nhSnork

Early adopters aren't basic consumers. The release before Summer is for us, the fans.

Others will follow in the Autumn of course.

Nintendo is making enough to guarantee they can keep up. Switch 1 sales will start dropping drastically since the announcement.

May or June release.

They've been in production since September and Switch 1 will no doubt have stopped being produced by now except for maybe the Lite.

Nintendo are ready. Otherwise the big reveal would have been in August and not April.

Nintendo won't call us players. That is Sony's slogan... "For the players."

I'm a gamer. Have been since 1991. Not sure why some in this thread dislike the term.

It's great that Switch 2 is backwards compatible for those who need it and it is great for Nintendo as they can continue to sell their Switch 1 games.
They might even bring back the select range once they no longer make Switch 1 consoles.

I simply have no time to replay Switch 1 games I've already completed though. Time to move on to the new exclusives...

They need to overhaul the eshop though as it already has so much on it, good and very bad.

I'm guessing they have probably stopped production of the standard Switch 1 at this point.

@DoubleDate

You can't compare that Playstation 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 all look different as an argument about Nintendo Switch 2 looking like Nintendo Switch 1.

They are home consoles FFS. Not portable Hybrids.

You should be looking at the how GameBoy compared to GameBoy Colour, Gameboy Advance to DS, DS to 3DS, then Switch 1 to 2.

Surprised they were right. But good to see the console.

So glad it is called Nintendo Switch 2 so dumb consumers will understand what it is going forward.

Roll on April...

With Christmas buyers able to return items until 31st January at most retailers I still don't expect any official announcement until February.

There's no big game releasing in February so it's a perfect month to reveal the actual console and the games.

Mario Kart X, 3D Mario, Splatoon 4 are pretty much likely to be out in the first year too.

Nintendo Switch 2 is the most likely name as it is straight to the point for general consumers to understand.

I'd love a snes coloured one or at least coloured buttons again.

I don't use my joy-cons either. 🫤

Roll on February for the full reveal. 🤞🏻

If it is called Super Nintendo Switch I hope it is snes coloured for the launch model.

Mario Kart will definitely be in the launch window line-up. That is a reason for people to upgrade in itself.

I like the idea of the dock being smaller. That will help the general public see the difference.

I'm still more interested in the new dock. Hoping it does something more than just allow it to work on the TV etc...

I'll only play it at home on the TV.

And of course it'll look similar to the Switch. The 3D printed prototypes they have here are so they can design the cases in preparation.

Roll on the full reveal next year.

They'll just bundle another game with each switch if they are wanting to sell old stock once the Super Nintendo Switch is out.

They'll probably not restock both the original and oled version once it is out too with the lite still being left on sale for at least the first year before the Super Nintendo Switch Lite comes out.

Clickedy Click... Can't review it til I finish it.

A short teaser with the name reveal in early February.

We'll then get a bigger full reveal at a Nintendo event in Japan late March or early April.

Release will be June or July 2025.

I will use it when I eventually renew my subscription. Probably when Splatoon 4 comes out on the Switch 2.

So Metroid Prime 4 is potentially April 2025.

I'd still like a Yoshi's Wooly World port on Switch.

Switch 2 launch May/June 2025… maybe?

Uproar is a bit extreme tbf.

Zelda was always in her nightie for me. Went well with the bed I constantly used.

Completed and sold on now as I wait for my next Switch Fix.

All I am thinking is it is such a shame we never got Super Mario Odyssey 2 or at least a second new 3D Mario on the Switch.

2025 though. Here we go!

I'm sure we'll read all about it when NL publish many articles once the leaks start.

I still say no to a direct this year as we have their line up for the rest of 2024.

Direct in early January for full MP4 reveal and March/April release date. Along with MP2 and MP3 Remastered dates. With MP2 digital released after the presentation.

End of January/ Early February for Super Nintendo Switch reveal. With end of May release date.

Maybe.

I still think May. That's early next year.

I'm more interested in seeing the new dock at this point. Even fake ones. Roll on late January...

Eurogamer has confirmed the images are fake.

I can't see Switch 2 being officially announced til late January/early February. With a May 2025 release.

It is not like previously where the Wii U was dead so we got a teaser trailer in October 2016 with the full reveal event in January 2017.
