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.

@Kiyata

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.

@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. 😁

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.

22. Has the Pro Controller D-pad been built from scratch so it actually works properly without it changing direction or forcing you to go diagonal.

@SillyG

If you own the switch 1 versions of the games why are you buying them again anyway? That is Silly, G.

@DwaynesGames

Yeah. That's the issue with it. Especially when playing retro games. Fingers crossed they've fixed the issue on Switch 2 version.

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.

So many comments. Why though?

It's not BOTW: Deluxe Switch 2 Edition.

Pro controller available on Amazon UK now for anyone in need.

£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).

I still think N64 had the best line up. All i needed back in 1997 was Super Mario 64.

Why is this news?

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.

We've been playing MK8 for 10 years FFS.

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.
