@KBuckley27 - The Switch had massive third party support. Any Nintendo console that had good hardware sales got third party support. The only time a third party won’t port a game to a Nintendo console is if the hardware can’t handle the port, or if the sales of the hardware is bad.

@CriticalHit - I saw on YouTube that Witcher 3 performs much better on Switch 2 without any updates. I tried to play it a few years ago after finishing Horizon Zero Dawn and I lost interest because of the poor performance compared to Horizon on PS5. I was still impressed they got it ported to Switch 1 though.

@blecch - This is nothing like the PS5 launch. The Switch 2 is getting quicker restocks than the PS5 did and scalper prices on FB marketplace are dropping by the day because Nintendo has been doing a great job keeping up with the early demand.

All console releases has inflated secondary prices at launch, this is the first time any company has been able to mitigate it.

@Anti-Matter - That’s bold of you to assume Square Enix won’t do something similar to the PS5 release. Even a Day 1 update is essentially the same thing because the game that is shipped hasn’t been fully tested

@Savage_Joe - I had the same thought when I saw this, that the next console will be compatible with Switch 1 joycons and chargers.

@EVIL-C 12+ months for games? More like 5-6 months. Their business model is fine, they give physical editions to games that would otherwise be digital.

@croz - If the next console is using similar online infrastructure, I think it’ll be much longer than 5 years. Even if it doesn’t, the Switch has a significant install base, I could see it going much longer.

To the folks who are saying Mario Kart has grown stale, you’re not wrong, we’ve been playing the same game for nearly a decade. 😆

I think the next evolution of the franchise is to start bringing in weapons and courses from other Nintendo properties, or even some special tracks with 3rd parties.

@Magic_Salmon_Pro - Sure, but as an American I can tell you when it comes to accents we don’t group a Scottish accent in with a “British accent.” If anything, many of us may confuse the Scottish and Irish accents just because of the lack of exposure.

Believe me I get the whole being defensive of your nation state that’s part of a bigger entity. We have 50 states that are very defensive about their own identities and try to tell the other 49 how to act. 😆

@Altaria_97 - I might be a bit biased, since Homage is based out of my city, but the shirts are worth the price. They fit comfortably and are well made. I have a few shirts from them and their my favorite t-shirts.

@nessisonett - and each of those countries have regions with their own specific accent.

@nessisonett - So you’re saying as an American I should be able to differentiate between an accent of someone from the different cities and regions of the UK? If that’s the case, are you going to refer to my accent as American or will you refer to it as a Midwestern accent?

Nobody is trying to oppress people by saying “British accent” or “American accent.” We’re just not in tune with the local accents of other countries. Just as you’re not aware of the regional accents of the US and Canada.

For Nintendo consoles, I’ll go 100% physical as long as possible. But with the PS5, I’m starting to become more into buying digital, or downloading off PS Plus. If it’s a new game I really want and it’s a major title, like a Final Fantasy title, I’ll buy physical.

@Royalblues - you’re missing another big reason people buy physical, so they don’t have to worry about eShops taking the game off their servers or the online functionality of the game being disabled. Sure, having the game on the shelf is great as a collector, but this “middle ground” you speak of is not the main reason why people want physical.

@NintendoKnight - You mean Nintendo hasn’t capitalized on the current Switch model? By the time Switch 2 is released the current model will be at least 6 years old. The OLED is probably the closest we’ll get to a “pro” model.

@Magician - I still hate the Wii remotes more. 😆

@Clyde_Radcliffe - At least their not charging for those characters and arenas… yet

@Clyde_Radcliffe - Because they are developing a game for multiple platforms at the same time and then trying to port it over to Switch, which as we know has weaker hardware. If this was designed from the ground up for Switch, it would be a different story.

@Truegamer79 - There is nothing wrong with wanting an almost 6 year old system that is beginning to show its age, to have an upgrade. I love the Switch, it’s probably my favorite Nintendo system, but in comparison to the current gen consoles it’s needing an upgrade.

@RubyCarbuncle - Yeah, I’ll eventually be buying the DLC. Just so I don’t have to worry about losing access in the future to NSO, or if I don’t have wifi and my switch wants to randomly validate my access to the course.

@IronMan30 - It’s still playable, but the system is definitely starting to show its age in handheld mode with certain games

@IronMan30 - Docked it looks great, in handheld, it’s quite blurry.

@Fizza Who is multiplying? Looks like a picture of a factory.

@Alpha008 - Yeah. It’s pretty lacking in extras.

Listen, I don’t have this game. Comparatively to other 3D platformers it is very good… but compared to other 3D Mario games, it’s pretty rough.

@RupeeClock - I’m right there with you, the pro controller control pad is very disappointing.

I use the SNES online controller for Tetris 99 or other games that require precision from the control pad. The Hori Switch Pad Pro (or whatever the heck it’s call) has a superior control pad when playing in handheld mode.

@Hero8-Bit - It was my go to for all games the past few years, but I recently acquired a PS5, so like you it’ll be mainly for Nintendo exclusive titles or older ports that are fine in portable mode. Any new third part games will be purchased on the PS5.

@Would_you_kindly - It depends on the speed of the connection between the USB port and the processor. It depends a lot on the design of the existing hardware. The design of the hardware might not allow that sort of scenario to happen.

@Would_you_kindly - That would depend on how the architecture is designed, from a hardware standpoint. Like would the onboard storage be fast enough to be utilized as extra RAM or not.

@Coalescence - It can be sold off years from now and find his retirement. Of course we can’t take it with us after we die, but it can GM bring us joy in our younger years and serve as our retirement in our final years.

The soundtracks are also available on Apple Music as well!

@Not_Soos The problem with the Wii U was the lousy marketing, it probably would have done better if it wasn’t named ‘Wii U’ and didn’t seem like just a new Wii accessory.

I honestly didn’t know this game had gyro aiming. I use the Hori Split Pad Pro and had no clue! 😆

@Medic_Alert - Honestly, that’s the main reason I like Pokémon games. If I want to just have a mellow gaming experience, that’s what it’s for.

@impurekind or make classic systems that can actually play the old carts too! They'd make a killing.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE do you just post in the Switch threads reminding everyone you don't have one and how you hate ports? I think we get the point.

I have one of those, looks like it has never been used. I still need to get games for it.
