Hooo boy, the Switch 2 good news train keeps on chugging. Not saying I won't buy one, but hasn't been a single thing thing I've heard that makes me want to drop everything and buy one.
I'm getting Wii/DS successor vibes. I'm always pleasantly surprised when video game companies succeed where I doubted them. Prior to the OG Switch, I thought Nintendo might be headed down the SEGA road. I was wrong then and hope I'm wrong now.
I plan on getting one but gonna let the silly season of launch run its course. Nothing yet that I see as a system seller.Side by side of Mario Kart 8 and 9 and I can barely tell the difference.Might just be my vision, but I can wait.
@Greenspan Getting really, really bad DS/Wii successor vibes here. (Sincerely hope Nintendo proves me wrong.) So far all I've seen is basically the Switch Pro, we all talked about for years, with no OLED screen. Calling this a Switch 2 is going to be chaos enough.
I don't know if I completely blame Nintendo, and really hope I'm dead wrong, but I really am starting to get some Wii U vibes based on cost and game lineup. I won't celebrate if I'm right, just looking to me like Switch 2 may be a victim of the times and extremely high expectations of a successor to its highly successful predecessor. (Sound familiar?)
I love my OG Switch but Dualsense, quirks and all, is the best controller I've ever used, hands down. Also, throwing drift stones from a Nintendo glass house?
Non-OLED makes no sense at launch. I'd rather have paid more and then you could launch a "lite" version later with non-OLED. Bypassing OLED makes zero sense in 2025. Especially considering you already launched an OLED on the predecessor.
I'm probably in the minority, but a little underwhelmed by what I've seen so far. It's probably fatigue from how long this game has been in the works but sort of feel like they might have been better off aiming for Switch 2, at this point.
Been trying to play XCX since it came out in March, unfortunately my mother got very sick and has been in the hospital, so gaming has been an extremely low priority, right below sleeping.
After playing Tales of Arise a couple of years back and just recently Tales of Grace F remastered, went back to find other Tales games and have been playing Tales of Berseria almost non-stop this past week. Great game. As an RPG fan, no idea how I missed out on these.
Finished Tales of Graces F Remaster. Loved it so much went back and got another Tales game I haven't played. Tales of Berseria (which interestingly doesn't show up in voting bar, but other Tales games do). Great game so far. DEVOUR!
Agreed nobody should be harassing anyone over a game but also have no idea how this stance their taking would even work. Unless they have some actual way of carrying it out, it just sounds like corporate lip speak
@ozwally Exactly. It's a clone of about 15 games using that same format. Can't imagine paying more than $5 for something like this. (Apparently it's a port and has been on mobile and other platforms since 2021. This article made almost seemed to imply, at first, that it's new and maybe edited later. It's not)
