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…
@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.
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.
@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.
@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 don’t mind the wait as long as they make the wait worthwhile…..that said, it really is time for a new system. I generally buy games on other platforms for optimum performance. While it is cool that Hogwarts runs respectably on the Switch, this isn’t 2019…. the decade is almost halfway over and we shouldn’t have to be making these sacrifices in soon to be 2025…..
@AstroTheGamosian I don’t think that would work…but possibly a cybercafe with PC terminals and consoles? Charge by the hour, have coffee, appetizers like u could get at Starbucks
@AstroTheGamosian it doesn’t look promising, especially if the next generation doesn’t have drives. I don’t think collectibles and other merchandise will be enough to save them.
@AstroTheGamosian he was totally wrong on Nintendo on multiple levels…. Even thought they should put all their IP on mobile platforms and quit making hardware.
But I don’t really think he’s wrong on GameStop. I still buy from them bc I feel sorry for them. I bought a Series X bundle back when they were hard to get and most recently bought a PSVR2. I also buy their t shirts with my $5 monthly coupon. I guess I see them doing some business, but mostly not.
@BaldBelper78 well, it really depends. Theoretically, the price of components should come down the longer they wait. Granted, the specs of the system might still be the same whether they release this year or next. I would hope, though, that we will be rewarded with a slightly better machine for waiting….,
@SwitchVogel I have it on Xbox and on that platform it plays much better. Still a little sluggish to load and navigate but the flipper response time is much better….
@Sisilly_G it’s pretty clear this is quick and easy filler material until the next console comes out. A level editor would have been amazing, but I guess they don’t see the need to dedicate resources to it since a new console is on the horizon…,
This was a cool game. I didn’t play online. But I wish Nintendo did more games like this. Smaller scale games that you can just pick up and play. Street Pass, Pocket Jockey or Rusty’s Baseball….
The only games worth trading in are the ones I want to keep. The ones I tried to trade in were literally only worth pennies, so I didn’t see the point. I traded in some duplicate WiiU games that I had on Switch and kind of regretted it.
Would it have been that hard for them to just make a fresh game and include these levels? I enjoyed this experience on 3ds and WiiU. Will probably pass on this unless I have $30 burning a hole in my pocket at some point.
@Croctopus it’s supposedly going to have much better load times and I would imagine better graphics too. I am not huge on graphics, but I have had an Xbox One since 2014 and Series X, Ps5 since Jan. 2022 and July 2022 respectively…. Not expecting full current gen capabilities, but the equivalent of a portable Xbox One/Ps4 would be amazing….
I think at minimum they will announce. Peach and a bunch of remakes sounds so much like 2016. It just doesn’t make too much sense to release anything major, as the new console will need solid launch titles. I would not be opposed to an early 2025 launch, as I would expect that the longer they drag this out would imply a more powerful console. I don’t mind waiting for quality, tho I would feel for those whose only system is a Switch….
I really don’t care all that much bc I hardly ever play online. But this is really cheap of Nintendo. IMO, you should be able to play online across accounts if you have NSO

Re: Talking Point: Would $499 Be Too Much For 'Switch 2'?
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.
