The blaster is the only true VR I have. And I love it, it's about as much VR as anyone truly wants. Good for short play sessions, and you didn't sink a good $300 for something you'll probably hardly touch
Dude yes. I'm down, wind wakers sequels never felt near as good as the OG, I'd be thrilled. Cartoon Link could go for a brand new 3D outing. Doesn't need to be like so open world like BOTW but I just want to see it return.
I always like reading these, but i admit I feel like it's better suited for a video format with just some highlights or topical clips going on whilst the talk is going on.
Still fun, don't stop but I do always feel it. Thought it might be worth sharing.
Hum I see a lot of people comparing it to ARMS which makes it look way disappointing because ARMS had color and style, but I don't feel like this is the same.
To me this is just another Tech demo and ARMS was a new IP. I doubt any of these drag and drive characters even have names.
I like the clickie triggers. I remember back on GameCube the only time the triggers made sense to me was in sunshine. In Melee and other games I'd be confused that it received my input before I heard the click.
I don't really play other consoles so I've never "experienced" the joys of analogue triggers so I'm sure they exist.
@Axecon man something that I liked about the GC version was it felt like I was given all of my items and told "Now go use them on your quest!"
I get the same vibe on WiiU but it feels like it's over really fast. I am replaying the HD version right now so we'll see how I feel. If I get a switch 2 I'll have to compare notes against the original.
@IronMan30 I played the first 2 chapters and not undertale and maybe there are a lot of references I'm missing, but it was completely understandable and fun for me.
I mean I didn't see Bowsers delivery but I think this is pretty normal. Nintendo says this like every generation. That they will continue to support the other console still.
Well dang. I hope we hear back soon with what to expect. I'd like to so holding my breathe on what the damage will be. Feels like the market may need to look at the new system more as a "pro" console" since it'll be really hard for a lot of in the states to adopt.
I know that video games have been exempt from tariffs before, maybe they are chatting it up to get exempt again.
I would definitely use it for a run button in BOTW or TOTK cuz not being able to control your camera easily while running has always been lame. I've never owned a pro controller but I'm thinking it might be time.
Hey if that's the price across the board I think I will get Metroid Prime 4 on switch and pay for the upgrade eventually since I don't see me getting a switch 2 anytime soon.
Man I would buy it if they were able to add the miiverse bottles back somehow. I loved those, that the like button was a "yeah!" Since that's definitely something Link would say. I'd always gather up a bunch before setting sail and read them on the trip to my next island.
Been tempted to hack my WiiU to get that function back. I'm just not sure how worth it, it could be, since I doubt there are people lining the streets playing it.
@OldGamer999 not sure if some one answered you but it is not a wide screen supported GameCube game. Funny that the the on release 2 of them are, because it is pretty uncommon.
@Galaxy2IsTheGOAT there were some articles on time extension that talked about a worse case scenerio stuff will go up 30%. So with that math it'll make the switch 2 585.
Which is sickening but probably more realistic. Sorry I don't have a link to the article.
I got BOTW on WiiU so she times it's hard to revisit, so I can see me grabbed that enhanced. I don't know about TOTK. Maybe the digital upgrade or something. Not a priority.
@Galaxy2IsTheGOAT I feel like if they remaster and do NSO everyone wins. You get the original experience at a "discount" and if you like it, you can buy a nice version.
It was one of the only things that interested me on the direct. I'll watch it on deku deals and see if there's every a crazy sale. My back log is frightening right now so not terribly interested in picking anything up soon.
I'm one of the wierdies that only has joy cons, and only plays WiiU with the gamepad, despite having a pro controller. I know Id love a pro controller, but I just feel like joy con are too fun and weird.
I also never really get to play for more than an hour at a time so I'm usually wrapped up before my hands get uncomfortable.
I agree with the fomo of switch 2. They need some blow my socks off software to get me to be an early adopters, which I highly doubt will happen.
As I get older I keep getting more and more retro with the SNES, Genesis, GameCube and unfortunately now retro, 3DS and WiiU. So I'm pretty happy playing old stuff right now!
My most played game is Sonic Mania so I voted that. It's got infinite replayability for me, the sound track is awesome and my eyes never get tired of looking at it, especially on the OLED.
So if a switch 1 game runs on switch 2, does that mean that the switch 2 will emulate the switch1 to make it run like the wii and Wiiu? Or will it run natively on switch 2 giving those games access to the extra RAM and what not to be able to run better?
Sorry friend they both die at the end of the month. You can still use the voucher after the end of the month but I doubt they'd add prime 4 to the line up :/
@splinters you think they'll put it up as game voucher approved given they are discontinuing them at the end of the month, months before the game even hits the shelves?

@Kiz3000 well I don't want to argue with you, but I am interested in hearing your case. What makes you feel like this is the best?
Re: Talking Point: Does Switch 2 Have Nintendo's Best Launch Line-Up Ever?
SNES had one of the greatest platformers as a pack in title. That's a tough bar to beat.

Re: Nintendo Confirms US Price For 'Switch 2 Welcome Tour'
@TheExile285 ya that's a super good point. They sure like rolling stuff into the online package. I wonder why they didn't just add this.

@Anti-Matter they for sure said in the direct that the carts are the exact same size as standard switch carts. No idea about the cases though.

Re: Nintendo Halts Switch 2 Pre-Orders In The US Amidst New Trump Tariffs
No manches. That stinks. I'm still on the fence about preordering, but that is unfortunate.
Re: We've Seen Switch 2's LCD Screen In The Flesh, And It Really Doesn't Feel Like A Downgrade
Man dont tell me that! That's one of the reasons I was waiting to upgrade.
I almost exclusively play hand held since I really only get to play on my lunch breaks since when I'm home I'm on Dad duty.
I'll say this, I super have FOMO for switch 2. But prices are scary.

As I get older I keep getting more and more retro with the SNES, Genesis, GameCube and unfortunately now retro, 3DS and WiiU. So I'm pretty happy playing old stuff right now!
Re: Poll: What Switch Game Could You Not Live Without?
@Ultimapunch your comment made my night haha. Ya my new hope is maybe for a 10 year anniversary, since superstars was pretty disappointing.
