Spend big yet can't make a worth while game for PS5 gamers? That says alot. Buying "Studios" but make pathetic games over budget and get nothing done in the end. Oh, also go "Censoring" games in the process as well. Yeah, that will go over well.
Possible but that depends on the Holiday and what's the bundles they are offering. Remember this is just stand alone DKB sales no bundle can reach this numbers says alot. If MKW numbers are the Switch2bundle and standalone numbers that doesn't look good as DKB just by itself can reach those numbers stand to reason it could beat MKW numbers.
This announcement follows the game's delay just last month from its Fall 2025 date, where the Switch 2 version — which is a Game Key-Card — was also revealed.
At this point Switch1 games will be what I want and then just pay the upgrade. As Switch1 has LE collections. They could just swap the carts and remove the Switch1 cart version and put a Full cart Switch2 in it's place for the price they are asking. Still have the other parts of the series and need to finish those backlogs as well. My Switch1 is paid off and waiting for it now.
End it was the game, the updated version improved visual and more beefed Switch2 just help give better gameplay. But why only DF? Does NL have too close of a partnership with DF they are trying to save them but giving them screen time? Never have I seen this in the past but all the suddenly now DF??
If they can sell more then 8 years lifespan of Switch1 in less time I be surprised. And now rumors of Pokémon console but not color theme will make this even a hotter ticket item. And not the other Hot ticket stolen item.... If they can reach in less then half Switch1 sales at 100mils that beat all records for console sales.
It doesn't take a diploma to figure this would happen considering the first week 3.5mils units shipped. And maybe until Holiday 2025 will inventory keep up with demands. Any later will hurt Nintendo sales figures and they will be doing alot of PR damage control if they miss having Inventories worldwide this coming November and December.
I know BestBuy did have inventory July 17 but how much depend on location and my GameStop got theirs July 21 but I got one reserved for warranty exchange because my Dock is having tantrums with it's Switch2 console. So they are emailing people whom have accounts with their retailer to notify of re-stock or just call them and if they can tell you then set a date to go find yours at those locations if your trying to still get one.
@SurprisedRobinChu Basically, on this Nintendo-centered site, loyal fans will swear that the Switch 2 out performs and is superior to the Steam Deck in every way imaginable (even though a majority don't own a Steam Deck).
You thought mean what? Nothing. Tell me what's the hottest system the general consumer are looking for drummmbeat "Switch2". It out performs the Steam regardless your trying to spintalk as though talking will make Steam better. Nope, you got a hopeless task here talking without talking. Why own Steam when the 1.5billions Switch1 games are out there and still selling. Steam isn't selling Switch1 150mils units nor did it in one week sell 3mils units? Right.
@jsty3105 * It was a console ban that was acknowledged to be a mistake and then rectified by Nintendo customer service.* You got "Console warriors" whom could care less. I pointed this out many times in that article what happened and yet people keep "harping" bricked system but never reads the story. Nintendo fixed and the buyer verified and was fixed. The one that isn't talking is the "Pirate" that now has their system blocked from online access and they will never call Nintendo Support because why would they.
@axelhander You talking to the wall here they already have their mindset for "Console wars" that why they can't distinguish Switch 2 isn't Steam deck nor use same tech. Price isn't the reason people want Switch 2 but reading all this one wouldn't know this.
People need to remember here SteamDeck is a nique product it cost more and is bigger then Switch 2 and you can get decent grips for Switch 2 if you look for them. But those are working with different tech underneath. General consumer aren't running out there to buy Steam they are going to buy Switch 2. And those are the real world happening. The price point is not going to help Steam but will help Switch 2 as those looking for Switch 2 already have a library Digital or Physical to play on Switch 2 without or without enhancements on Switch 2. It makes game play better and that's what it does. DF is covering their butte hurt because they ask no Devs to come and talk about the games should tell those following DF what their narrative is to dismiss having any creditable Devs to talk about their game development. This should tell all they aren't doing good reviews but "Opinionated" reviews without even asking Developers feedback or comments about their game development. Like the video I linked the youtubber even asked why don't they just get a Developer with them to talk???? Ask yourself why is that???
@Johnny44 You probably didn't watch how when they reviewed Switch 2 before evening it came out and how they compared it to PS4 when it wasn't even close. No they are trying to cover for past mistakes that still haven't been addressed. They lost all credibility from that and this review doesn't resolve or fix it since they have yet to go back and correct those mistakes.
Wished they could redo the case cover to fit the Dock. Just like JSAUX Split Protevtive Case fits in the Dock and is less but doesn't have the trigger grips.
I heard some GameStop were getting some Switch 2 but like everything it will vary and it's up to the buyers to go in-person as not all locations will get the same amount.
@Qwertyninty Stop listening and watching anything digital foundry. So many other great YouTubers that do a great job analyzing gameplay and framerate. That's the story here but people just fan DF and not look at how they dismissed Switch 2 before even knowing what it is. And that carry alot of weight when someone does that.
@blecch I was tempted to pick up Bravely Default HD Remaster until I realized it was a game key card. Too late for some of us...if we wanted the update game..
Is there a reason why no JPN actors can play those part as this is a JPN franchise? I always hate using white actors to play foreign games in movies this always torpedo the movie. "DragonBallZ" movie anyone....SpeedRacer...GhostInTheShell.....They haven't learned.....
@Arkham24601 Would have been ideal if the Switch2 had been designed with 2x cards slots. That's wouldn't been that hard to do as it's the buyers that have to buy the exSD card two slots would help since one can't upgrade the internal storage.
@HalBailman I get your frustration and personally wish I didn't need to download 50 GB of data for Street Fighter 6 when I inserted the key card. The question is: Would I pay $20 more to avoid that process? No! Then why don't they give us that option? Like I said make the options there are a majority that will get Physical before Key-Card or eShop when given the choice. It's just has to be standard Full cart and that will still sell.
@HalBailman You already missed my points. eShop can't be sold this part you don't understand. Only if you allow them but remove them and they have "0" access to your plan. So tell me how is that beneficial?
Also developer just charge higher for FULL physical for the larger card what is so hard to understand here?
Crucial factor they don't charge less for eShop or Key-Card but they charge MSRP as though it was Physicals so tell me why should it cost the same where there is no actual Cart with game? Developers haven't answered that question they just dodge saying why they can't charge prices accordoingly.
@Metazoxan All the Pubs missed the point Switch buyers said they would gladly pay more to get Full cart games or give buyers options Key-Card or Full Cart and pay accordingly. No they are just Greedy corrupted bastrd in the end.
Just wished it wasn't Dreaded "Key-Card. Common.....
And they cost the same for SW1 and SW2 version? What gives? They could add the price to make the 64g SW2 from 59.99 to 69.99???? And just add that cost to the game? I have yet to hear satisfactory Pubs explanation with excuses even to why? For now I placed PreOrder for both and will cancel one or the other when it comes time.
