I would love something like this, but I have too many devices rn. I will wait a few years before I consider a portable Xbox

I wonder if this served two purposes….1. Test updating the games in practice….2. Use it as informal marketing intelligence….see how many bother to update ARMS to see if a sequel is warranted….

I got one bc I didn’t get one last generation and they were only $75 at Costco. Glad I got it but wish they had analog triggers. Given this, I don’t think it’s a big enough upgrade if you have one from a Switch 1 system.

I absolutely think it’s worth $80, tho I question whether the PR hit for this price point and charging $10 for the demo were worth it for Nintendo. I saw someone on YouTube mention that instead of talking about how great the game is, people are instead talking about how it’s $80.

This Rainbow Road is easily the best of the bunch. The sound track is amazing and details in the game are so cool.

@Grimley141 yeah, I had a similar experience. Very smooth. I decided to buy Cyberpunk from them bc of how easy it was. I waited longer for Amiibo back in the day

Costco has the for $75

Ugghhhhh…. So needlessly confusing. What if I want to keep my OG switch for Switch one games, but don’t want to transfer that data to my new Switch bc I don’t have a large enough memory card? Am I going to have to eternally lend the cartridge to my new Switch?

@Ogbert me too…..I am in “shut up and take my money!” mode…..hopefully I will come to my senses….

I think they should have included it in Nintendo Online….

@swoose to be fair, Nintendo fixed my Joy Cons for free..,

Getting this bc it has the game on the cartridge…..

@DwaynesGames it might not have been a killer app, but Nintendo Land was really cool. I told myself I would not get the demo, but if it reviews well, I might dip in and get it.

@MocawNow actually, that’s a great idea- to have it included in Nintendo Online. Better PR and increases the value of the service….

Xbox is like a rudderless boat drifting about….with Sony’s lack of first party games, you can say the same thing…,

I lived this game, even tho I wasn’t good at it….

Definitely getting this…. Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed is one of my all time favorite games.

@MS7000 I am getting it for that very reason. I am using GaneStop Pro points for it.

@SG2 it pushes me to preorder the system tho….i would get it no matter what, but i would probably wait, unless it had another compelling title. But it’s hard to top MK, as I put 600-700 hours in the last one.

I would definitely check this out….

Depends on if they can find ways to use the mouse…. The gamepad was a great innovation, but wasn’t really used that much.

Will games like this load faster on the Switch 2, or will it have to be optimized?

I will be interested in the Next Gen Xbox handheld if they go that route….that said, I am somewhat of a handheld console junkie.

I have such a massive backlog that I can very easily wait things out for a sale. That said, it will be hard for me to pass on Nintendo stuff, even at full price.

Hmmmm.. kinda want to support the system, but $70 for a game that will probably drop to $50 six weeks after release and $20-$30 by the Super Bowl…

I will keep the old one for travel and the gym….

I gave it a ten, contingent on it getting content updates like Tour. I think there’s a ton of content, even for the $80, but I am preordering the bundle for $50. It’s a gorgeous game, and I hate to admit it bc I always wanted the Switch to have its unique version, even with the added DLC, I felt cheated. I think this is cool enough to justify holding off on a better Switch 2 release.

@LimitedPower I definitely see ur reasoning, but backwards compatibility and MK World will cause me to get it sooner than later….

Mk world is with it tho…. I have 700 hours on mk8 easy.

@Jack_Goetz he charged for 1-2 Switch…lt was essentially a tech demo.

Not bad, considering the system is about to be replaced. Really looking forward to Tomagachi Life. Some of the others will be worth a look, especially during a sale.

I would have liked a “cast” button…. This way the device becomes a second screen and we can play 3ds games or even play some that are designed for two screens…

I wish they could get the rights to Paperboy….do a modern remake….

@Mana_Knight I don’t mind these per se, but it’s annoying that we haven’t had much major fresh content in over a year. Peach, Zelda game, Mario Party and Brothership are cool, but are mainly niche/secondary endeavors.

@MastaRedSnappa I agree. I have both Puyo Puyo Tetris and Tetris Connected on Switch and PS5 for VR. This is more than enough for me.

@BANJO how could u forget Nintendo Land?

I love Tetris, but I think I have enough…. I have it on Switch x3 if u count Puyo Puyo Tetris, then on PS5 so I can play it in VR.

I hope the new system gets Madden….

It depends on the specs and capabilities…. If it’s $500 and just x2 as powerful as a Switch, I am guessing I would not be in a rush to get it. If it’s roughly a Steamdeck, plus some other cool stuff, I could see myself shelling out some $$$$ for it.

Depends on how it performs… I would be all for it if it’s really bad ass

@Vriess Astrobot is a day one buy…. Might even preorder….so excited!

@MrGawain I see what you are saying in that the Switch is probably good enough for most….but the Ps5, Series X and Steamdeck to a degree actually make me want more power. I usually don’t care that much about graphics and power, but I almost always buy on another platform if possible instead of the Switch. But as i mentioned above, I would rather have better hardware and a smoother launch than getting the system a little sooner.

I am ready to move on, but I think holding off might have been a good thing if they get the launch right and present a better product….

@_Figo_ they just don’t want it going to Android

@SBandy1 that’s a day one buy for me….

Looks cool to me, but will definitely wait for a sale

Hard pass on Donkey Kong….the 3ds version will be fine if I want to revisit….

@mid_55 I have heard that the crowds get excited in Europe when the NFL plays over there when a team punts….

Punt in American football isn’t a good thing, lol

@Mattock1987 speaks to the size of the Switch user base….. some people don’t have any other way to play it, tho I suppose there might be some who double dipped to play on the go….

@WheresWaveRace soooo….. Mario v DK, TTYD, Super Mario RPG were all new to me, so I bit….I have Luigi’s Mansion on 3ds, and while I am sure it will be cool, I would not pay more than $20 to revisit it on the Switch….even then I probably wouldn’t….

I sent mine in to Nintendo to get fixed for free…they work fine now….i think they are still doing it..

@Hwatt especially with the ps5 and X/S…. It’s the lower priced console….plus it’s got name recognition with parents….
