Looks great so far. Love a cozy game on Switch 1 or 2.

Rune Factory and Story of Seasons! Both from Marvelous!

I was worried there was going t be some gimmick that could derail the whole thing, but there wasn't thank goodness.

Glad Gungho is letting us pre-order this game. Very excited.

A new game console release is always exciting for me.

Regardless of your opinions on them, it should be interesting to see sales numbers for key card games. And if the sales results will mean anything changes, either more or less key card games.

The key cards are the only thing that cause me to change. Gaming has been expensive for a long time, it goes up with each generation. I stopped getting every console 2 generations ago and like nearly everyone, I have a backlog a mile long. I don't need to play games the day they come out, and usually buy my games on sale.

Regardless of anything else about them, pretty cut and dry, Genki leaked the Switch 2 hardware with mock ups. What did everyone expect to happen?

Sorry to hear this news. Hope they land on their feet somewhere better. Besides websites like NL, I mostly follow independent YouTube creators like Switchup, HappyConsoleGamer, etc. Maybe that's where some of these folks should try?

Physical collectors are fully aware that nearly all games for the last 3-4 generations need patches to run, updates, etc. That doesn't invalidate the feelings that they want a version of the game on the cart. A game key card is never going to substitute for this, it's just an alternative to buying a game on the eshop.

Good to hear but I would want to keep my Switch as is and start new on Switch 2.

@pikachupikachup Reminded of when Nintendo started selling carts to third parties back in the NES days. Atari / Tengen tried to work around it with their own carts, didn't amount to much. Probably not the same thing.

@Stuffgamer1 @pikachupikachup I wonder why Nintendo titles are on cart while most third parties are not. Sure they are saving money. But wonder if some of this also falls on Nintendo for their cart costs to third parties. Seems familiar.

@speed_loafer So far all Nintendo first party titles are getting cart releases.

Code in a box, just a waste of plastic.

I don't recall ever seeing these games rumored as Key Cards. Good to see the confirmation from them. One of the few third parties, so sad.

Scalpers should know how we see them, especially if they are selling pre-orders. How do they sleep at night?

I will never understand why retailers don't, or cannot, allow back orders of stuff like this. This is not a limited item. Instead we need to pre-order before launch, or get lucky online or in store after launch.

Up late last night. Best Buy never showed SW2 as available for me. Then in line at Walmart. After some ordering glitches, was able to pay Target for my console around 11:10 Central Time. Hopefully nothing happens to my order between now and June 5. Surprised right now.

Madden but no College Football yet, seems dumb. They don't require any different hardware resources to run.

Last night Best Buy never allowed me to add to cart. And was in line with Walmart. Ordered a Switch 2 from Target after 10 minutes, 11:10pm Central Time. Check out process was a little wonky, asked me for my addresses when I've bought before. So far order is still valid. Fingers crossed. Good luck to everyone else that either bought or would like to.

I'd love to play most of the list. Also a Twilight Princess port or remaster would be preferred if not on NSO.

In the US. Missed out on the PS4 version but was happy to order the SW edition. It arrived yesterday from Amazon but was damaged. Returning but cannot get a replacement until restock. Ugh!

That was pretty cool. No one knew Paul Rudd in 1991 when the commercial aired.

@Jemae Good to luck to us both in getting one!

What about the Earth Dancer Edition? Is that Switch 1 only? There is no listing for a Switch 2 version on their website. Pay $100 plus $15 to get the upgrade?

After the delays the hype rises even higher. Oh baby.

@bloodycelt Maybe. But then they should be selling it in other countries. Oh well, I'm sure I won't win of the 5 sets.

@Poco_Lypso Tokyo Xanadu was the one highlight for me too. Didn't see much else that I own. And I'm assuming a game that's not listed anywhere is working.

That's a lot of collectibles. Why didn't Gungho make this the collector's edition? I'd take just the poster and the shirt even.

Getting Mario Kart World regardless, hoping the "last thing" is a cheaper price for the game.

Hoping to see a Fable Trilogy Collection announced. Would also like to see all the Age of Empires games, mouse time.

The guys at SwitchUp were impressed when they checked out the London event, and I very much trust their opinions. Looking forward to hearing from some others on YT that I like.

Not sure what his deal is but sounds like sour gapes or something else. I know people love the Wii U for the games, but the console was not successful. I was worried Nintendo would do something crazy with the SW2 and we'd have the Wii U all over again. Time will tell, but what we've seen from the SW2 hardware is a good sign for success.

Still sounds like a hot mess. How will we know which is which on the outside of the box? If the upgrade pack is on the cartridge, what does that even mean? Instead of downloading it from the eshop, we launch it from the cart and it upgrades the game on the internal memory? It's not really a SW2 version on the cart.

I'm going to sound like a broken record here. How about retailers take pre-orders for as long as needed, even after the console launches? Back order. The Switch 2 is not a limited item. Some customers would be tempted to buy from a scalper instead of wait, but I personally would be okay waiting a few months if I knew my order was confirmed. Constantly checking online or stopping at local stores every week sucks.

Are the key card games going to be cheaper than the full game carts? Are they going to be in line with the digital copies? Being able to resell / move the game between systems muddies the waters with pricing. I think I would more okay with this if the price was cheaper.

Looks pretty cool. I love the character designs, right out of an anime.

$450 is a fair price for the console. The price for Mario Kart is too high. Not a fan at all of the key cards either.

I'm okay with invites honestly, especially if it increases the chance of getting a console.

It's a Youtuber looking to get clicks for cash, nothing more. Hopefully that covers his 2 weeks camping out at least. We still don't know how much the console will cost in the US. If he's a month in and Nintendo announces the US price will be $650, then what?

He doesn't sound as bad as Mattrick did in his interview, which was pretty rude. And $450 is not a bad price. We should be more concerned with the high prices of certain games.

They should have figured out a way to prove the extra value before dropping the price bomb on us all. It's still not too late to lower the price on this game Nintendo.

Good to know, glad it's not too much $$. Why wasn't pricing in the direct though?

Hopefully Nintendo will take the feedback and come back with more clarity prior to the launch date, maybe they even backtrack on some unpopular decisions that can still be changed, like game prices etc. Wait and see.

I'd be surprised if Nintendo didn't release a port of Wind Waker HD for sale, especially if the effort isn't great to develop it. People would buy it, myself included. Would still like a Twilight Princess HD version based off the Gamecube, which is maybe more likely given it wasn't listed during the direct video?

Prefer physical games but I would take digital over a key card, regardless of any resale ability.

Less than $5 per month? That's a great deal. I'm hoping all the SW2 upgraded games are included with NSO+Expansion pack, outside of those upgrades that are free for all.

No repercussions for the leaks it seems. Genki.

I have the online sub, its not much IMO. Hopefully it will give me access to all the SW2 upgrades I need.
