Been to all three in Japan and New York. Have not been to San Francisco one yet. London would be a perfect location for one in Europe. Strange that Japan is getting a fourth before Europe gets one.
Looks like switch 2 will be a first party showcase and not the machine to run ports on the go. I dont mind. I can scratch that itch on a PS5. Just picked up a switch 2 for MKW and Bananza and that's it. Eventually it will just be used for Pikmin 5 or the next Zelda/Mario and Metroid 4 ofcourse.
My greatest accomplishment in gaming was getting 100 score on every level in SMW2 ... levels were not that hard but since you could not use the little clam items you had to beat every boss without losing Baby Mario once.... it was fun to pull it off.
I would also rank the Mario Kart ride at Universal. Probably above Live and Tour and maybe above GBA game... it is soo much fun and I need to unlock all the badges lol.
@roboshort awesome breakdown! Thanks! Hope i can scoop one. Missed the pre order and will actually be in Japan during launch but I have zero chance of catching one there in the wild (the one I can actually use in South Carolina)
So is the switch 2 equal to a PS4 or PS4pro or is it closer to a PS5 than it is a PS4pro but just under a ps5? Who can break this down for someone who does not speak teraflops and ram?
I will be in Kyoto for 2 days In June but only had a one day window to go to the museum. Didn't win the ticket lottery so won't be able to go. Wonder if they do stand bye?
So I have a question. I will be in Japan that week. Is that a good thing or potential problem lol. I will have my wife pick up my Switch 2 stateside but was wondering about the chaos of a Hardware launch in Japan.
can they add a save point after every section of the last badge marathon level.... I am never getting through that with it. the one every 3 sections is not enough lol.
@Manguy888A i can confirm lol. Its in the middle of nothing. One cool thing is that i got a blue pikmin with mario hat on Pikmin Bloom For just walking around the building lol. Did see a neat looking pachinko place near the subway entrance lol
Thats a lot of people with a switch that has never played BOTW.... Crazy (and i am accounting for the possibiliy that some played it on Wii U but not that much.
Need to release Rogue One or Solo actual level DLC.... That would be sweet.or maybe obi wan level to promote the new show like Marvel 2 did with Ant man and that other show? Cloak and dagger?
2 things i regret because of hindsight (im sure you could say this about any retro collectible game but I wish I had picked up a copy of Twilight Princess for the Gamecube. I just grabbed the Wii version on same day during wii launch. Also a few years agoni wish i had picked up a few more of those $99 dollar white or black mario New 3DS units that came out on Black Friday a few years ago. Those suckers bring in a few hundred now....
Legend of Zelda a Link Between Worlds was a great 3D experience... Cant see playing that game without it. Ocarina of Time 3D is the best version of that classic (despite the new water temple hand holding)
I met a guy at starbucks who added over 200 SNES games to my SNES mini for 30 bucks.... Wonder what Nintendo would do to that guy. He was advertizing on Facebook. I guess its a simple mod but i dont know how lol
I was grabbing it today but i was able to snag the metroid dread amiibo pack off best buy this morning (dont think they will be tough to get similar to the last Zelda one) so i will grab dread after i finaly sit down and finish Samus returns on 3DS... Only 15 metroids to go lol.
Wish i had zero mission on my 3DS then I would have them all (2D) on a single system 1. Metroid 2. Samus returns GB 3. Super Metroid 4. Fusion 5. Samus returns 3ds remake
I have the digital trilogy on my wii u eshop. I played Prime on GC to completion... Only played about 20 minutes of the other 2.... Need to finish echos and prime 3. Time to dust off the wii u instead of wait for a switch release.
Had a trip planned for Japan for Summer 2020 ... Pushed it to summer 2021 and now pushed to summer 2022..... I dont think that is happening now..... I am vaxxed and i had a pretty bad case of breakthrough Covid.... I am 100 percent sure i would have died or placed on a ventilator if i was unvaxxed. Just my 2 cents.....
