If you can't see these things while playing games regularly, they really don't matter. If you need specialized equipment just to nitpick, then you deserve to be unhappy.

Another reason why I will never buy a used console from some rando on the internet.

If the Switch 2 screen is blurry, then I must be blind because it looks great to me. I'm not one to buy the latest 70 inch 8k tv with a $2000 gaming PC, so the Switch 2 is perfect for someone like me. I wonder how many people will try to spew revisionist history like they did after the initial hate for the original Switch.

All of the games that are on Switch with a physical release and Switch 2 with a key card should have an upgrade path from the Switch version or a Switch 2 native version. Hitman, Split Fiction, Street Fighter, Yakuza, and Tony Hawk are all above 32GB, so they should have been on 64GB cards. They were just being cheap and they deserve to suffer for it. Hogwarts Legacy 32GB cards on Switch with an upgrade path, like No Man's Sky, but they cheaped out. Hogwarts Legacy wasn't even fully on a Switch cart at its original release on Switch. With Civilization 7, an upgrade with the Switch cart would have been fine, but they instead decided that the Switch 2 version would be a download for some reason.

This game was much more playable on Switch 2.

@jsty3105 I don't trade or sell my games, and I don't see the point of needing the key card to play what is essentially already a digital game.

I'm avoiding Game Key Cards as much as I can. If I want one of those games, I'll probably just get it digitally, if I have space. I only bought Rune Factory and Cyberpunk at launch with the MK bundle.

It looks better than it did on the Switch, but it could be so much better than this.

It looks like Donkey Kong Odessey to me. Which is a good thing. It's really interesting that they went for actual voice acting (sorta) for this one. Now they just need to do the same with Pokémon.

I am neither an animal nor a child, so no. I have a screen protector and a carrying case.

@Yomerodes I know! I am finally able to play Darksiders 3 after all this time. I beat the first boss on the original Switch then gave up because of the performance. I kinda want to go back to Darksiders 2 and crank the graphics settings up too. I had to bottom out the graphics settings to finish the game because it kept crashing on the endgame bosses.

Good gamble. Hopefully their game is good; it looks like Chibi Robo and Pikmin aesthetically.

The star system is dumb. Gold is Gold.

Nintendoom in 3...2...1...

Seriously though, I'm glad to see it. I hope Nintendo has a Direct this month to keep the hype train rolling, and I hope that hype can roll the Switch 2 to 100+ million units.

@mingyjongo I would have gone for a $550 bundle, but I wonder if the people complaining would have as well.

@MoonKnight7 Very much this.

If it had OLED, it probably would have been $500 and $550 for the bundle. That would've resulted in even more noise-making and bellyaching. The screen is just fine and I can live with the $500 bundle.

Knockout Tour is probably the best mode, IMO. But there's something about doing donuts on the water at the beach resort in free roam that is soothing to me.

@ancientlii And we can see the difference, clear as day.

Now I'm hoping Nintendo again attempts to move the Pokémon IP forward without Game Freak. Buy them up if they have to, but let a competent dev take a crack at it, like Monolithsoft or even Capcom or Square Enix.

Now we know what Game Freak's best devs were doing.

Nintendo's ninjas are going to be having a field day with these people. If you are by some miracle able to get your console a week early... don't broadcast it on the internet!

All I got was "Gaems run gud".

I roll solo. I don't like talking to distractions while playing.

Pocketpair flew too close to the sun with Palworld and Craftopia. They got away with Craftopia because they weren't trying to be the next big thing, but they screwed themselves over on Palworld. I do find it disheartening that people are so quick to villainize Nintendo, knowing that Palworld just makes unoriginal, ripoff games.

Who asked for a former Sony exec's opinion on Nintendo? Of course he's going to neg whatever "the competition" does.

I'm glad it is not $20 each. Does that mean we can expect $70 for BOTW and $80 for TOTK Switch 2 Editions?

It would be funny if it was a full $70 game, but it was literally just a 30+ hour Switch 2 exploration game.

$10 is negligible to the point that it should have been a pack in game.

They put in the work to get it on the cartridge, though. And at launch no less. I'm definitely buying it day one.

@Medic_alert Not sure if we are allowed to post links, but it's here: https://youtu.be/FiLoePc9tds?si=SffpexfENwyM6Lf-&t=405
It is printed on the box art. The wording is different for the UK and US text. I don't understand why it took news sites 3 days to see it. It is the first thing I noticed in the trailer.

@Medic_alert You are correct. It is unfortunately not in the direct. But it is is in the trailer for the games released the same day, which means it still isn't new.

This isn't new. It is printed on the box art and was clearly visible in the direct. I'm assuming that they are using the leftover stock of those games first, then the second run will likely be a true Switch 2 edition.

I thought this would happen eventually. It never really made sense for digital games to cost the same as physical. If they start releasing physical versions weeks or months after the digital versions, like Metroid Prime Remastered and Pikmin 1+2, physical games may slip into niche territory. Regardless, I still prefer physical when possible.

I took the day off just in case this would happen.

Mario Kart consistently ranks as one of the bestselling games of each Nintendo console since Super Mario Kart on the SNES. I think Mario Kart 9 will be okay.

@Buizel I agree. I also think the battle system is close to what people have been asking for for years now.

I'm getting XY and SwSh vibes. Definitely not SV vibes.

Honestly, I don't think Nintendo cares about the mechanics. I still believe this is because of the blatant design ripoffs that Pocket Pair chose to include in Palworld. Nintendo is definitely being petty, but Pocket Pair should have known Nintendo wouldn't let them go without a fight because of those designs.

I'd rather have a sequel. Set in the same place in the future. The other towns people can vary somewhat based on who you married. I'd even prefer it over Haunted Chocolatier.

Pre-ordered mine. I've tried many grips for the Switch so far and the Satisfye grip was by far the best. I'm glad the initial design will be dockable this time.

Has there been any mention of a collector's or deluxe edition?

The obvious answer is money. You can buy all the experiences and present you want. 🤷🏽‍♂️

The Switch has the potential to be the best-selling console of all time. The Switch 2 has the potential to be the greatest console of all time.

@Juga_Juga Thank you!

@Rob3008 I didn't vote for him, and I don't want the tariffs... 😢

Regardless, we will soon be entering the find out portion of the program. Much like our UK brethren with Brexit. 😉

Where can I buy stock in Nintendo? I've been trying for a while, but I don't know where it is available for purchase.

@AllBLK I am also worried about the price after tariffs. Gaming is definitely going to take a hit if he follows through...

Play Asia to the rescue, I hope. I like playing some of these games for the... uh... culture. Yep. For the culture. As I am a man of quality.

The Switch is still cooking the competition 8 years on. Hopefully the Super Switch can also hit the ground running.

I voted 3D and faceplates. Interesting to see so many people wanting 3D back...
