Despite Switch 2 being ~somewhat backwards compatible, they did a poor job of data movement. Switch 2 is more powerful, yet its dock is incapable useless unless you have the right cable. And ONLY express SD cards work. So I guess I gotta use a computer to transfer my SD card data. Very cool, thanks Nintendo!

The fact that you need to take the joy cons off to put it in the case, means I'm not getting it, all other factors are irrelevant.

I'll probably get a Skull and Co case/setup, as I absolutely love my S1 case. But I'm willing to shop around and be crazy this gen (and perhaps get a themed case)

I can't believe it's been 10 years, but I still remember pissing off my friend that drove me to Walmart to buy "one thing", (the game) and then walking out with all the amiibos, then her face, lol

I got FAST RMX when it first launched and there were like no games in the eshop, I played it a bit but wasn't that big of a fan. Years later I got into F-Zero thanks to 99, and then like a year later I remembered about Fast, and now I actually like it. I'll probably get this when I get a Switch 2, whenever that'll be

@xj220_afiles the Switch sees the Hori controller as a generic Bluetooth controller. It works for the hand -feel, plus the D-pad is bigger, and the extra buttons are on the face, and not the top, basically what I would expect a modern controller to do.

I'm happy with my Hori GameCube Switch controller for now. I like how they just mirrored the GCN's Z and R to get ZL and L, plus it's the colour my controller was, black. I'll eventually get the GCN Switch 2 controller, but it will feel like I'm playing with my sister's controller.

I think it would have been cool to keep the old designs on Switch 1 only, and then the new designs on Switch 2. It would have been a subtle way to differentiate the consoles, and really hammer home that the Switch 2 is new.

Also, I think it would be appropriate to do a different pose for the new DK, maybe a less tough and a more playful?

if only someone thought to patent the concept of throwing an object at a thing to add the thing to your arsenal in 2007. they'd be a billionaire

Wow, all the ones in BC are in the Lower Mainland, typical! too bad they're all in the same metro, and a 6 hour drive for me. not very good at spreading it out are they

It'd be awesome if you could plug in a generic USB mouse and it'd work just like the SNES mouse

I think instead of adding 50-ish new Pokémon species every generation, they should add new evolutions to existing Pokémon like what up to Gen 5 did; add baby forms or a final evolution, just please no more Pikachu clones

I'm guessing this announcement means that we won't get an EoW Zelda amiibo. Which is a shame, as having essentially matching chibi Link and Zelda GB style figurines would be goat

nice I was actually craving recently to play Pokémon Mystery Dungeon again (my last one was one of the ds ones) so I allllmost bought Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX, but I guess Ill just play this instead lol

@Samalik you beat me to in

@Twilite9 Wasn't NERD (Nintendo Europe Research & Development) the group that developed the NES & SNES Mini emulators, as well as the Switch Online emulators? Clearly they are capable of developing quality software, so it'd be interesting to see what they could produce on their own

It would have been so cool if these worked as actual controllers, like basically a joy-con, or wiimote+nunchuck set up

I love these so much. I'm not gonna collect them all, but the odd one or two decorates my house plant table nicely. If I ever get any from this set, it'll be #6/Dandori Challenge or #4 Night Expedition - especially if the glow pikmin and lumiknoll glow in the dark.

lot of life/management sims... Discounty looks cool tho

well, I guess I'm making my first Minecraft dlc purchase. Pretty cool that it works on ANY world. although I might wait a bit for it to go on sale. This isnt a limited time thing, right?

@InTree Dyson and Nintendo need to do a collaboration

you know what's a great business decision? only releasing certain preorder bonuses (that are made in China, and thusly can be shipped anywhere) to 1-2 countries. That will certainly drive up sales!!! /s

I think I might finally buy the PC version. Long story short, I'm wanting to make a new game and if want it to be long term, PC will be easier to keep the same file 8 years from now. I'm glad I can connect switch controllers to PC, but it'll suck not being able to play it on the go (and no, I'm not getting a steamdeck for 1 farming game)

I made an account to preorder the GameStop Canada slip cover; but I know the "preorder" wont arrive till next week, so I'm gonna buy a copy in the morning. I already knew I'd keep a copy sealed, this is my favorite piece of media. period. so meh

PS some Brit that preordered for the paper airplane needs to scan and upload it! (also the diorama, but it looks complicated to scan; I might try to scan the cover, but I dont wanna ruin it, and I know someone else will do a better job)

I wish they had some Guardians in TOTK, akin to the Shroob cameo in Bowsers Inside Story.

Robbie & Purah reverse engineering Sheikah tech makes too much sense, I'm disappointed no characters or the devs ever mentioned that possibility

@epicgamner dennis=mario charlie=luigi dee=peach (mac=toad, I guess?)

@BodkinDQ you're too wholesome

k, now I'm gonna be unreasonably disappointed if they cast anyone else for a potential Wario role

I preordered for the slip cover from GameStop Canada. I usually dont do preorders, as they tend to arrive well after the release day, but I just had to make a gamestop account for my beloved

someone needs to scan that paper plane sheet, and the buildable diorama

Oh, and before that, I went to Kakariko, and everyone was like "ooh theres this big scary chasm, stay away", so it was super scary when I eventually fell in one of the gloom holes

I totally ignored going to Lookout Landing (I actually thought they removed the paraglider, for a few days...), and then I stumbled upon a random Well that led to the Depths. It was honestly, literally one of the few times my jaw has been blown open. Once I realized there was a whole "dark world", any reservations I had about TOTK being in the same world disappeared

I mean, it sounded to me in the trailer they said "over 150 challenges", which could mean like 156, but they could have remix sages as unlocks. Then again, having like 300 challenges might be hard too have a leaderboard for each

@ZombAid82 clothing makers don't make as many options or styles for men as they do women, and then men buy less clothing then females. hmmm I wonder if theres any correlation

@Coalescence the lost "golden freddie" of mcdonaldland

Why do they even do different box arts? Like, does NOA actually think games will sell more, if the boxart is less "cutesy"? Like, why does Kirby always have to be "angry"

They offered the bandana a few years ago which is when I got it, I think it's pretty good quality, as far as bandanas go. Unfortunately I never wear bandanas, but I still think it's cute, and am excited to use it for.. something or accessorize, one day....

damn, I can't really justify buying it right now, but I'm soooo tempted to import Lucas, since it is an anniversary product

I'm mostly looking forward to, assuming he is in it, a fully articulated Yoshi toy figurine.

My sister would love these, but she already loves her Zelda joycons

My birthday is in 2 weeks, so I put it on my wishlist, but that was before the demo came out. I wasn't really a fan of it, so I don't think I'd buy I for myself... but if it was given to me, it seems like ~15 hours of enjoyment

I can't wait till some benevolent European uploads a hi-rez scan of this (as well as the UK pre-order airplane)

sigh, time to get a passport, and learn basic Japanese phrases

I really want to play this!!! I love the trombone, I learnt how to play it in middle school because it was such a weird instrument, and I wanted to be able to do the BAaahwahHH/gliss.

but this doesn't seem like a 1p game, and since I have no friends, I don't think I'll ever play this, anyway.

Even during their Love Hotel era, they were focused on "entertainment'

I'm honestly surprised that they didn't release one, and then the other one 4 months from now.

I was super excited for Vancouver Velocity, as I am from the same province, and have actually been to Vancouver! But I was very disappointed it was basically just Olympics theme

"Obviously Activision is too good for Nintendo. They don't want to waste their money on a loser console"

"OH WAIT! The Switch is selling!!! QUICK: DAMAGE CONTROL"

I just want a faithful remake of RCT1+2. Those games could literally be played forever. Just add more maps and scenarios.

@Cashews Man, it must be nice to be American and to think $60 is too much for a game. Try being Canadian. Our Switch games average $90, plus our GDP is lower, so the price hurts the wallet even more

Darn! I just finished another play through, and I kept forgetting to check my playtime. I Estimate at least 500 hours
