I’m sorry to say, but I’m regretting the purchase.

After waiting this long for the NS2, I assumed we would be bombarded with a ton of great new games.

I’m glad there are those out there who are enjoying the games released and announced to-date, but I’m definitely not one of them.

Had I known it would be so underwhelming, I would have waited, rather than give Nintendo the benefit of the doubt.

@canaryfarmer it does get old fast. But therein lies their petty little strategy.

PSA: Don’t pick up Fantasy Life i unless you are prepared to allow it to consume your time like a puppy consumes kibble.

I haven’t been this hooked on a game in a long time. It’s delightful, and I’m happily glued to my Switch, but holy hell this game has its claws in me…

You’ve been warned.

@OrtadragoonX Good write-up!
Point 3 in Cons isn’t lazy though, it’s strategic. “Sell more new Pro controllers with this one simple trick!”

@nukatha it’s from the game

I’ve played a few hours now. Was bored at first, thinking it was just shiny graphics… I was wrong.
There is so much polish, nuance, and love in this game! So much to discover, explore, and enjoy!

I’m a grown man in his 40s, and I feel like a kid again, smiling and laughing more playing this than I have any other game in a good while.

Well done, Nintendo - you’re crushing it lately!

Can anyone comment on whether the pro controller sticks are quieter or not? When moving the original ones around, they have a loud click when they hit the edge of the circle – it drives me nuts. I’m hoping the new one is quieter.

This is a super fun post. More like this, please!

There’s a mouse built into the hardware.
A hybrid TV and handheld console, that is now also offers hybrid controller and mouse options.

That’s pretty innovative, if you ask me.

I can’t wait for Red Alert 2 to release for this thing… eventually.

Look great. BUT why on earth is Sony the only one who makes a controller that’s relatively quiet when the sticks hit the edge of the controller?

The original pro controller makes a loud click sound each time I move the stick far enough for it to hit the edge of its movement area. This can get really annoying for those I live with who don’t/aren’t playing…

Uh… that’s a bit much… and $700 CAD for the Mario Kart bundle?!

I had intended to pre-order asap, but I’m not so sure anymore.

Think of all the old school RTSs that would be so much fun on this!

Welcome back, Commander. RA2 on Switch?! Calling it now.

@Lizuka The value of money is subjective.
You wouldn’t pay $40,000 for an early Switch 2, but would you pay $.40?

There are many people on this earth so insanely wealthy that $40,000 is virtually the same as $.40 might be to the average person.

Further, accessory manufacturers, or other types of businesses I can’t think of, might benefit greatly by getting an early physical copy such that $40,000 is a small investment to get a leg up on competition.

Personally, I still think it’s nuts, but then again I’m not the target audience of the person trying to sell this thing for $40,000.

Could you imagine if Switch 2 launches with OoT and MM remakes?! Throw in a remake of ALttP too, since I’m apparently in fantasy land! 🤞

@batmanbud2 Fair enough - thanks for clarifying (I was just curious)

@batmanbud2 I’m just curious… You recommend getting 100% the N64 version but also said that you haven’t played much of either…

Am I right assuming you just forgot to add the word “lately” after the word “either”?

I smell an RTS revival…

*in the cards
Not “on the cards”

Forza and Halo on Switch and PS5 would be a money making machine.
And a happiness machine for me lol

1. As AAA gave development costs balloon with the giant game developers, they are finding their game vaults to be a viable revenue source, since ports and remasters are much cheaper to make than building new games from scratch.

2. There are many people who never played some of those older generation games, so they would be a fresh audience for updated versions.

2. Nintendo saw/heard the feedback from devs that porting to the Switch was difficult due to hardware limitations and platform constraints.

They have certainly improved the hardware capabilities, but I’m willing to bet they have also specifically addressed porting by developing tools for publishers to do so easily and cost-effectively.

The Switch 1 was an indie and previous-gen port paradise, and I only see this increasing, which makes me happy.

Splinter Cell! Original trilogy and Blacklist to lead us into the upcoming remake of the original.

Man, I would eat that up!

@AG_Awesome I’m confident that’s it, exactly.
A bigger and nicer Switch was easy to predict - it was all but certain. What isn’t certain is what this Switch can do that the previous one can’t, and I’m willing to bet that will be much more than just more graphical power.

Nintendo has a mandate to push boundaries of what forms fun games can take. I can’t imagine they will only make the same thing but a bit better (that was the OLED Switch’s job).

It’s my belief that Nintendo isn’t rushing this or isn’t feeling pressured to reveal things early in spite of the leaks because they have an ace up their sleeve, and I’m excited to see what that is.

I don’t think it will be absolutely mind blowing, but I do think it will be novel, and I do think it will be worthy of a Switch successor as opposed to a mid cycle refresh.

Just because it’s fun to speculate I’m guessing that they will revisit the concept of two screen gaming. You can use your switch as a standalone device. Or you can use it as a controller that wirelessly connects to the dock on your TV so the menu functions or maps are on the switch in your hands and the main gameplay on the TV. The C button is “Connect” - as-in connect to the TV dock.

Basically, I think they are going to do what the Wii U tried to do all those years ago. Or maybe it’s that I hope that they will try that….

@Kazman2007 just buy more copies! I’ve bought SDV about six times now, lol… (iPhone, Android, PS5, PC, XBox, Switch)

@Sisilly_G It’s not audacity if people end up paying for it, it’s being good at capitalism.
If we want games to stop having insane prices and unfinished launch states, we need to do our part in not paying those prices and stop pre-buying games.

Gonna throw a hail Mary out here for Splinter Cell…

@JaxonH Amazing! Just ordered one!

@rushiosan the demo is a specially designated demonstration area of the game with certain abilities already unlocked. It is not the first level wherein your progress could be transferred to the main game.

Even if you could save, there is no progress related to the main game which could be transferred.

Old Zelda: Play through a story in an interesting world we built.
New Zelda: Play in a world we built; and there’s a story too, if you’re interested.

@Not_Soos I respect your insane opinion. (Jokes)

I would pay good money for this on Switch - loved it on 3ds!

If the SNS (Super Nintendo Switch - calling it now) doesn't have an all-new 2d Zelda, I'll ... complain and whine online, lol

This looks great! I think it’ll really satisfy that itch while we wait for Haunted Chocolatier and Secrets of Grindea!

I’ll be donating mine to a kid whose parents can’t afford to buy them one - maybe with a Nintendo gift card.

I’ve certainly gotten my money’s worth out of it, and I know how much it would mean to a kiddo without such luxuries.

@vyseofhr Agreed. I find the current-gen graphic claims tough to believe.

I’m betting on the hybrid model performance of the current Switch (docked being more powerful) dialed-up to eleven.

What I imagine is the dock having extra hardware (like an eGPU) to enable better performance when on the tv but also streaming that performance throughout the local wifi network when you pick it up. When fully portable (outside the home), it’s limited to basic-level performance.

Oh, and I’ll double-down and bet it’ll be called the Super Nintendo Switch.

@WaveBoy I think you might like this: https://www.my90stv.com/

I seem to be n the minority here, but I'm quite disappointed by this news — I really enjoyed Fenyx Rising.

Further, the rumours that it was to be based on Polynesian mythology made me really excited and curious.

I’ll be super forgiving with this game – so long as it runs decently consistently and is somewhat fun, I’ll be as happy and entranced as 8-year-old me on Saturday morning.

LRG gets called scummy a lot – could someone outline why?
Not disagreeing, i simply don’t know

@SwitchForce To you, sure. Others have no interest in expensive figures, and are only interested in the digital assets that the amigos unlock.

I didn't miss anything; I simply have a different perspective than you.

There are many perspectives in life — nothing wrong with that.

The NFC cards I got from Amazon work perfectly and cost me about $20 for a pack filled with every Zelda “amibo” released.

@Gumdrop What do you mean by "spike"? Is it a construction item I haven't found yet? Can you link a pic or something, please?
