@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.
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.
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.
Aren't you supposed to wear glasses for farsightedness? I got lucky with my eyesight: I have one farsighted parent and one nearsighted. But they don't complain about the text on the TV or on their phone. They just pop on their glasses.
Uh oh, whoever made that mod is about to get a cease and desist.
I don't know what legitimate court would take a copyright infringing mod as support. Regardless, Palworld's devs should have tried to make it unique, rather than a Frankenstinian ripoff of various properties.
Unpopular opinion: Companies should be able to sue if they create unique game mechanics that other companies try to ripoff. Especially when those ripoffs closely imitate those mechanics and the aesthetic of the propert being ripped off. Some people need to grow some originality.
We all know why that slider is gone. Nintendo knows what all of it degenerate fans will do with that bewb slider. 🤣
My issue with it that the devs got to go overboard with the bewb slider in XC2, cough cough Dahlia cough cough, so we know they aren't that prudish. They just don't want us degenerates to have it. I mean you degenerates... because I would never play with it or anything.
For one thing the top down games (BDSP) could've ans should've had Pokémon in the overworld, not just in the grand underground.
Further, I think they should limit generations to one per console like the GBA days. One new generation and one remake, with DLC and such instead of a third version. And on the ain't gonna happen list, I'd prefer a single game release like Legends, rather than the series norm.
I feel like Devil's Third would've gotten a better reception if it released multiplatform. The game was definitely mid, but the media portrayed it as the worst thing ever when it released. It felt like it was part of the trend of ragging on the Wii U. If Wii U games weren't certified masterpieces, then they were lambasted.
"It just goes to show that, yes, the Nintendo Switch has the best library of games and is the best console. That's it. No argument. Don't even try."
I would've loved if they left this statement alone just to start a flame war. Regardless, Switch is my favorite console so far and I hope the sequel is even better.
As long as the Switch is the current console, I couldn't care less what happens to these Swtich emulators. It's their own fault for promoting piracy of Switch games. We all know that's not all emulation is for, but that's all it's good for when the console is still active.
If Sony and Microsoft would enter the handheld market, I would jump at buying them. I literally don't have the space for a PS5 or XBOX Series, and I definitely don't have the time to play games in front of the TV for extended periods of time.
And no, the PS Portal does not count as a handheld.
Thinking about what Nintendo will probably do, $500 sounds like too steep of a price. $350-400 should be the target range, at least for a base model with 500 gb of storage. $500 for a deluxe 2tb model sounds reasonable.

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

Re: Opinion: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Looks Cool, But It's Lacking Arceus' Unique Style
@Buizel I agree. I also think the battle system is close to what people have been asking for for years now.
Re: Opinion: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Looks Cool, But It's Lacking Arceus' Unique Style
I'm getting XY and SwSh vibes. Definitely not SV vibes.

The obvious answer is money. You can buy all the experiences and present you want. 🤷🏽♂️
Re: Japanese Charts: What Successor? Switch Hardware Sales Top 100,000
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!
Re: Nintendo's Share Price Reaches All-Time High Ahead Of New 'Switch 2' Hardware
@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. 😉
Re: Nintendo's Share Price Reaches All-Time High Ahead Of New 'Switch 2' Hardware
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.
Re: Nintendo's Share Price Reaches All-Time High Ahead Of New 'Switch 2' Hardware
@AllBLK I am also worried about the price after tariffs. Gaming is definitely going to take a hit if he follows through...
Re: 'Hyperdimension Neptunia' & 'Death End' Switch Releases Scrapped For "Not Complying With Nintendo Guidelines"
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.
Re: Japanese Charts: Mario Party Jamboree Ends Dragon Quest III's Reign
The Switch is still cooking the competition 8 years on. Hopefully the Super Switch can also hit the ground running.

Re: As Switch Closes The Gap, Sony Officially Confirms PS2 Has Sold "Over" 160 Million Units
They should just manufacture 40 million more Switches. That way it will eventually pass the PS2 regardless.
Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Surpasses One Million Sales In Opening Weekend
Hopefully they learned their lesson about releasing alongside a new Mario game.
Re: Talking Point: What Would Be The Ideal Way To Play DS Games On 'Switch 2'?
An official attachment for the sideways display would do well, I think. Even if they just sell it from their store like the console controllers.

It always did in my head canon. They just need a few tweaks to make it official.

Re: Come On, Where Are The Composer Credits in 'Nintendo Music'?
As long as it is free for Switch Online members, I am glad it exists. 🤷🏽♂️
Re: 'Nintendo Music' Is A New Mobile App Exclusive To Switch Online Members
Absolutely yes. Expanding their online ecosystem is the way to go, and this is an unexpected but welcome addition.

Re: Japanese Charts: Zelda Gets Booted Off The Podium As Metaphor Arrives In Style
@Anti-Matter No worries. Sony could discontinue the PlayStation brand and Xbox still wouldn't outsell it in Japan.
Re: Japanese Charts: Zelda Gets Booted Off The Podium As Metaphor Arrives In Style
Three of the biggest Japanese games of the year couldn't move PS5s in Japan. Yikes.

Re: Talking Point: How Would You Fix Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom's Most Frustrating Feature?
I think it should've been an upgrade system rather than collecting every monster or item separately. Then a radial menu.
Re: Poll: Are You Bothered By The Frame Rate In Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom?
@Bigmanfan Age of Calamity was definitely struggling. It never froze or crashed on me though, to it's credit.

Re: Analyst Is Certain Nintendo Will Win Its Lawsuit Against Palworld Developer
Between Palworld and Craftopia, Pocketpair have been poking the bear for a while.
Re: Nintendo And Pokémon File Lawsuit Against Palworld Developer Pocketpair

Re: Nintendo And Pokémon File Lawsuit Against Palworld Developer Pocketpair
@BTB20 That is true. I googled patents held by Nintendo and the Pokémon Company. Nintendo has so many.

If they stole those models, they are screwed. 🤷🏾♂️
Re: Minecraft's New SpongeBob SquarePants Add-On Is Now Available On Switch
I might actually play this. Not base Minecraft, though. Is this an "expansion" or just a fan thing?
Re: Talking Point: Would $499 Be Too Much For 'Switch 2'?
Thinking about what Nintendo will probably do, $500 sounds like too steep of a price. $350-400 should be the target range, at least for a base model with 500 gb of storage. $500 for a deluxe 2tb model sounds reasonable.
