@Zufolobelisk revy chum so, what's not to love

no kidding, I was going to keep my switch, I have 3 kids, but the constant joycon problems combined with the massive increase in load times for some reason led me to sell for switch 2 credit before it died on me completely. I wouldn't expect it to function very well in 20-30 years, unlike the 64 or GC or any handheld.

that's how I cleared my first arcade shmup, Mushihimesama, nice pick!

I'll probably grab one.

Really hoping the Switch 2 is compatible with the Brook Universal Fighting Board. Virtua Fighter is coming! I'm optimistic it will be.

Wait, could mouse control make this a smooth experience for Switch 2?

Real fans? What is this, middle school? 1991 stories? Should we analyze what minimum wage in '91 could pay for as opposed to now? Shut up.

After those shantae carts we're still gonna promote them huh

Awesome news

This industry is suddenly a prime teacher on capitalism and the class war it necessitates. Very interesting, really feel for all of you journalists and game developers caught in the chaos.

they act like crediting an artist somehow takes away from them, as if it costs anything. What the hell. These issues keep popping up and really makes me lose respect for them, they are out of touch with artists.
Games with trailers and release date shouldn't have us playing guess the developer any more either, what is that.

I'll take a docked-only, no joycons poor man switch 2 for $299 please.

So much extra to pay for when all I want is access to Metroid and Zelda on my tv

@shgamer in my sample size of 1, no issues.

@shgamer hori makes a good left joycon with a real dpad. Only catch is no wireless, handheld only. I'm sure they'll have a switch 2 version coming. Nintendo isn't going to do it.

Has it been announced whether a switch 2 pro controller will work on switch 1? Can't afford the switch2 yet but I do need a new controller...

wow a headphone jack, I'm so tired of being gaslit by Tetris Effect telling me to put on headphones for the best experience. I bet they're right.

well thank goddess I don't care about amiibo at all, dodged one bullet at least

Looking good!

This game especially needs input lag as low as possible, hope it feels good.

@Strawblaze I agree with your comments on the switch first party library. Re-releases galore. And I keep waiting for more fzero, star fox, punch out, metroid (more than once a decade), pilotwings, Zelda that isn't minecraft. But I think Mario wonder, peach showtime, and Mario party are the future.

Nintendo is run by an accountant now. Why put money towards anything that's not the maximum return on investment? That means casual Mario games. Nothing lasts forever, time will show the Iwata years to be their peak. Maybe not profit-wise, but artistic quality and creatively. The new focus on movies doesn't bode well, RIP Zelda.

***** AI. ***** capitalism. ***** fascism.

Everyone acting like this one man can't have an opinion without it representing all of Sony? Relax.

For most people, "but look, EVERYTHING is too expensive!" isn't exactly good news.

$100 wii u game

Not sure what the problem is. Bowser was not dismissive. If he said they're stopping support for switch 1, we'd just have a slightly different flavor of outrage. I think people are just pissed at the price and looking for issues now.

would be nice for the programmers to feel some of the love...why did hiding the developer become a thing, it feels so disrespectful.

I've never liked the feel of those on 3rd party controllers, usually an unpleasant R3 L3 stiff click. But thank god Nintendo has joined the rest of the world with button remapping.

My arcade game play has moved to steam, and it's fun to see an achievement that less than 1% of the user base has. But I play Nintendo to relax, not compete.

Having a great time with this. Note, though, if you want to use a hitbox for the directional inputs, the switch cannot recognize multiple directions simultaneously. Works on steam though. For switch I'm using the face buttons of my arcade stick. Interested in others' setups.

@the_beaver
Oh I mixed up my anger at micro SD express cards with my anger at game key cards.

"They seem to be designed for publishers unwilling to fork out for costly, high-capacity S2 carts (which, naturally, would necessitate higher RRPs), shifting the gigabyte cost to the user."

The biggest screw you of the lot to fans who've supported Nintendo for 30+ years. Nothing to do with tariffs.

Nintendo 2024 PROFIT, not sales: $1.5 billion. I think they can eat the ****ing SD card cost.

I love everyone saying they'll wait til the price drops haha if you were waiting on a switch 1 it's been 8 years now is the time

I'd take a digital only version for $375 at this point

how great would it be to get the upcoming Virtua Fighter on switch 2

wtf? so we can expect some indie games...fall 2026?

Salamander III by M2 ShotTriggers! What a pleasant surprise.

I'm definitely excited to play a new prime but am I the only one who thinks the combat and enemy behavior looks near identical to 2002?

I was already planning on Rift of the Necrodancer, played the steam demo, great stuff. The Celeste tracks make it a sure thing. Just gonna wait to confirm Nintendo has a good plan in place for transferring digital games to switch 2 first.

I don't think it's a tough call. If you're Nintendo, what's more important, avoiding minimal hardcore fan backlash, or letting anyone who wants MP4 buy it? Though I could see only one version of the game and a feature in the direct about how the switch 2 enhances it.

8 year drip feed got me settin up a MiSTER Pi

My instinct is sell, but now with 7 , 9, and 11 year old boys in the house, I can use the extra screen. Man it's been a while since a console release ha life is different now.

We used to get excited for new games

Ouch. Feels like they're hurting on sales after making us wait way too long for new hardware, if profit margins are to be maintained gold coins gotta go. I've never debated buying a new Nintendo console, it's always a given, but...

@delanoche oh right I did play one a couple years ago. Yea great gameplay, miss the franchise mode but online is fun, thanks for the reminder

Do these usually release on time? Might preorder for Xmas, my 7 yr old will flip out.

nope, we're all dirty leak-lookers and will be punished accordingly

Ranked no-item online races

Feels like localized MLB PowerPros in Wii was the last good baseball game on a nintendo console. I'll probably hold out and try The Show '26 on switch 2.
Fired up wayne gretzky's 3D hockey the other day, fantastic game. That is all.

This is why these ports for full price are garbage, the least they could do is give us the definitive version of the game.

Without games, this was thoroughly underwhelming. Would've been easier to just release a statement that the leaks are real, see you in april.

@dr-ghost yup and our reward is buying every wii u game again on switch! (except the one I really want, wind waker)

Nintendo's getting laaazy. Full price?! This wouldn't fly 10 years ago. IMO.
"Well at least it's available" no man, demand better for yourself. Hoping to be proven wrong with the switch 2 lineup.
