@RasandeRose Seems like a shoe-in for a 20% off Black Friday sale. Here's hoping!

Looking forward to playing it later this month when the physical drops. And miss me with the "oH bUt ITs a kEyCaRD" crap. I do not care.

The constant complaining about pricing is exhausting. Look around you. Please. I'm a lot less bothered by paying $70 for two of the greatest games of all-time than I am by paying $150 minimum every time I look at a grocery store.

I heard a great example of why this conversation is silly. Goodfellas is a 35+ year old movie. Currently, a 4K Blu-Ray of that film will set you back about $40. Just think about that and then think about Mario Galaxy 1+2 being $70. Video games are art. They shouldn't be cheaper just because they're "old" games. It's not a used car.

Value is different to every individual. I'd personally pay more than $70 for Galaxy 1+2 if I had to, but I wouldn't dream about buying a Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, or WWE 2k game at full price, and I like those games. Age =/= value.

By the way, I say all of this as someone who probably has less money than 90% of y'all in this thread.

The UK Charts, whatever happened there.

All i want is GM Mode in handheld mode on Switch 2. That's all.

@Sylamp More grass?? I've never felt more justified in my purchase of a Switch 2 until now 😂 (but fr, thank you)

I can't believe people are still complaining about price. It's T W E N T Y D O L L A R S.

Stop moving the goal post

@electrolite77 Sometimes I forget how primarily UK-based this website is until I read a comment like this. Genuinely chuckled reading this at my desk

This thread of comments has been absolutely WILD to read.

Anyway, I love FFXVI, and I would absolutely love to see it on Switch 2. I imagine it'd be locked to 30 FPS, but that's fine just as long as it's consistent. Long live Clive & Torgal

That partner Direct is gonna hit like crack when it happens, hopefully soon-ish

sighs I guess I have to buy this now that it's not 100% garbage

@Macarver This is all totally fair! I'm so curious as to where everyone is at on cost vs preservation, which is going to become such a huge topic throughout this generation. Fingers crossed that 128 GB carts are an option for publishers in the future!

@Macarver I'm pretty ambivalent about Key Cards, personally. I'll still buy the games I want "physically," regardless. But I know most of the community is pretty passionate about the subject. You mention 007, so I'm curious. Let's say the IO publishes the game physically on Switch 2, with the game 100% on the cartridge, no key card. But due to the size of the game, IO is forced to release it on two cartridges, which drives up the cost of production, thus forcing them to charge $100 for the game physically. Would you buy it? Would that be upsetting? Or, in that scenario, would you prefer the key card option to keep it at $70? I'm asking all of this genuinely, no sarcasm, no snark, just curiosity.

Cyberpunk is the only third-party game I've bought so far. I want Sonic X Shadows, Yakuza, Puyo-Puyo, and Hitman, but I KNOW they're going to be cheaper at some point. I'll happily buy games on Switch 2 that I already own and have played on another console, but I ain't doing it at $50 a pop

@Zealv2 Cyberpunk came out on Switch 2 two weeks ago, and very famously lets you customize the size of your weenie. I don't think the care about a little buttcrack

@kiwisoup Upgrading the TV is on the to-do list this year for sure. I figured it had to be something with the TV, not the concept of HDR. Like, there's no logical reason it should look better without it turned on unless, like you said, it's just a crappy TV

I keep trying to embrace HDR on all of my devices, but every time I turn it off, I always think, "WOW, that looks so much more colorful and vibrant!" I think I'm just gonna disable it and be down with it

Screen protector is arriving two days after I pick up Switch 2 is; pray for me

Is there an actual, honest-to-God, legitimate reason that Pokemon games don't support cloud saves?

Does anyone know if the Crash and Spyro trilogies run better on Switch 2? Load times on Switch have always been PAINFUL

Sweet baby Jesus, the Steam Deck is an absolute monster, isn't it? I've never held one, but it still being significantly bigger than Switch 2 is wild

Getting my Switch 2 next week, and I'm 100% downloading this right away!

Is there a way to filter out the phrase "key card" from the comment sections on this website so I never have to see them again lmaooo

Mouse controls, let's goooooo

Just had mine canceled by Target last night. Pretty heartbroken about it. Oh well

That Switch 2 box art is booty cheeks, and not in a good way

Ayeee now I can try to get all 120 stars in Mario 64 without being institutionalized

This is the funniest thing I've ever read, how did they make this garbage even WORSE lmaoooo

God, I just hope it's good. That's all. Just give me a good 3D Rayman, and I'm good

Hopefully we get some really cool integration in more games. The first time the haptic feedback made audible noises when I was playing Astro Bot last year, I genuinely was giddy with excitement

I'm gaslighting myself into believing this means we're getting DS games on NSO

I'm a little bothered that I never noticed Diddy didn't have TEETH before

Yeahhhh I think I'm gonna cop this bad boy. It looks awesome

@Grumblevolcano As an early adopter, childhood adopter of the Xbone, I think I did a backflip the day those features were removed, and I could throw the Kinect in the bin

This seems like an inevitability tbh. I've heard such good things that I'm more than likely going to play it on Xbox this summer, but if it's as good as people say it is, it might be worth double dipping for a Switch 2 port

I'd give a lung for a white Switch 2 dock sold ala carte. I love customization like this! Xbox design lab was such a neat idea when it came out. Nintendo would make a killing doing the same thing for JoyCons

Good ol' Mario 64, the gift that keeps on giving

This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life

@StewdaMegaManNerd We all go a little mad sometimes, yours is just in regard to the Blue Bomber, hahaha

And HOPEFULLY we're not too far away from SOME KIND of new Mega Man game. We've gotta be close, right?

@Sindayl Maybe it's the tech is just easier to work with? Also, and I could be wrong on this, but I feel like most of the developer complaints about Series S have been related to Xbox forcing feature parity on both Series S & X. I know that's why it took so long for Baldur's Gate 3 to make its way to Xbox

This is awesome to hear, and I suspect we'll hear more third party devs be complimentary to the Switch 2 hardware as the months and years go on. I'm a sucker for Borderlands, so I really hope the fidelity is there on the Switch 2 version.

If this is legit, what an odd choice. I wonder how much cheaper it is to produce 8, 16, or 32 GB carts than it is to produce 64 GB? Are they able to manufacture 64 GB for less if they buy in bulk, so they just stuck with the one size to keep costs down? I'm so curious!

@StewdaMegaManNerd I think I love you??? This is amazing, pal. Holy crap

Mine is docked 90% of the time, so I'm in a situation where it might be MORE risky for me to have it. I have been known to forget pin numbers for things if I go a little while without using them, haha

I love how Super Nintendo-coded the Switch 2 feels. I get why they couldn't call is 'Super Switch' but dang, big missed opportunity.

I give it 12-18 months before they either walk this back or someone discovers they lied about this. I do not believe it for a second

I'm so curious to try mouse controls. I really hope I like it, because I adore the concept

Can't wait for this! Hope the rest of the series isn't too far behind. I need an excuse to play them all again

We're 100% getting either MH Wilds or a new exclusive Monster Hunter game similar to Rise on Switch 2. And I think RE4 Remake is inevitable, but I'd love to see all of the RE Engine Resident Evil games make their way over (DMC5 too!)

But dude, where is Mega Man??
