Yes yes, your opinion is the only correct one. You’re the one who can’t defend it. You just make blanket statements that are dull and borderline stupid.VR is about as niche as the SteamDeck.

I have owned every Nintendo home console, but the Wii U was the first one I was going to skip. Then the FOMO hit, and I ended up buying more games for it than any other console (then rebuying them for Switch).
Nothing, and I mean nothing, could have made me buy a PS or Xbox. Not my kind of games.

You’ll be waiting a long time then. I’ll be enjoying the Switch 2 in the meantime.

The upgrades for both Zelda’s make me want to finish them both (yes, I never beat them…that’s a me thing, not a game thing), and while I have just played through Cap World in Odyessy, the graphic bump looks great there, too.
Bayonetta 3 runs like a dream now.
MK World is great!

I had this thought the moment they announced game share. It would be the way to bring over Wii U games that relied on the second screen, too (Nintendo World, Wind Waker HD, etc). Imagine Mario Maker with your old Switch acting as the gamepad!!

I would say I am 98% docked. I have taken the Switch with me when I travel sometimes, but it is the first thing taken out if I need room (this will be more-so with the bigger S2).
I prefer the TV and pro controller!

One minor (very minor) quibble. I kept my Switch pro controller to save money, and I don’t need the C button or extra buttons.
For whatever reason, you cannot wake up the console with the old pro controller. So, I need to keep the joycon out.
Not a big deal, but kind of annoying.

The updates to both Zeldas are equally as amazing, which is making me want to pickup where I left off or start over.
The free updates and quality of life changes are immense. Bayonetta 3 runs flawlessly now.
While I could have waited until the next Mario comes out, I am glad I didn’t. It’s great!

It’s sleek and runs great. I had never owned a Mario Kart until the Wii U and Switch, and while it may not be my favorite game, I really enjoy Mario Kart World. As soon as you see the levels, you know the horsepower in the S2. They are jaw dropping.

I’ve had the Switch since day 1. I play 98% docked. So, the OLED was not needed. I was *ready* for the upgrade. The last two games I bought were Pikmin 4 and Bayonetta 3, which both had either abhorrent load times or performance issues. I needed something new.
The Switch 2 is everything I wanted.

It’s not a review if you don’t own one.

No one thinks it will top the Switch, and that’s okay. I don’t want to have to live through a pandemic again for it to catch lightening in a bottle again.

Or…you’re just not very dialed into the real world outside social media.
Just because you can type it doesn’t make you a business analyst.

Anyone who has played it and held it in their hands knows it’s not a “minor upgrade.”
Please don’t comment on something you don’t own. Thanks.

It wasn’t free to develop. Do you do your job for free?

Getting the old console when you know the new one will be out in six months and plays all the previous consoles games, means you don’t really research your investments, but go off.

So…. They suck for doing a system launch the correct way?
Can you please go take a Xanax or something?

I think “confirmed” is bit of a stretch. It’s their opinion it is. I am a Switch 2 stan, but all this does is trigger the graphic wh#res.

If every company didn’t have to sink hundreds of millions of dollars into game development to satiate the need for cutting edge games at 1990 prices, we would be in a much better place.
But here we are arguing more expensive games to develop need to cost $50-60.
Grow up.

You think we’re stupid. I think you’re incredibly stupid and unwilling to pay for the innovation you demand from companies.
Move on with your life. Games are underpriced and that is what is ruining the industry.
Every game has to be a hit to pay for the next one. Innovation is out the door.
comment in response to
post
Yes, and they were underpriced as game development costs rose exponentially.
Gamers want more complex and graphically intense games, but they simply think they deserve not to pay for it because of some arbitrary “standard” set 20 years ago.

Not sure if you want to do this or if it really helps overtime, but you can change the setting so you don’t have to press A. I got used to it in 8 Deluxe, and I prefer it now.
You can still get the boost at the beginning, but oddly, the setting doesn’t carry over to Free Roam.

And 58% of SteamDeck sales….

Or maybe declaring something “absurd” and “overpriced” is just a wrong opinion.

There was never “potential” for a price cut.

Yeah. I have a Switch 2. I started on Atari 2600, but I have had every Nintendo console since the NES.
I’m good.

Switch 2 will sell more than the entirety of handheld PCs in the first two months.
There is no need for a SteamDeck in a Switch world. Unless you’re a dork.

I’m really enjoying MK World, and I am even playing online, which I never did on Switch. But I have put a lot of in Tears of the Kingdom, too. I am either going to keep going with my new save file or try to resurrect my old one that I never finished. I restarted Odyssey, too. I’d checkout Indies.

I fired up Pikmin 4 today in the hopes the load times would be better, and I didn’t really see much. I’m going to hope they have a patch like Splatoon 3.
comment in response to
post
Because not everything will be released on both, but I bet Splatoon 4 will. They can’t ignore the Switch install base.

The price will never go down. When has Nintendo ever done that? Sure, there might be a lite version or whatever, but even the Switch 1 is still the same price.
If anything, at least in the US, the price could go up as long as there is still a lunatic in the White House. I am glad to have mine.

The ones who want Nintendo to fail this generation will not listen to facts. It doesn’t fit their head canon.
comment in response to
post
Not a hot take, really. It’s the truth. I have never enjoyed shooters like that, and I played the Wii U version incessantly. I even played some Splatoon 3 last night.
It’s Nintendo’s best new IP in years.

Good Lord, there will be announcements. Let them launch the damn system. If you don’t think Nintendo has the first three years or more of Switch 2 planned out, you are just not paying attention.

Does anyone understand how business works? Why release multiple AAA titles all at once? Not everyone buys a new console and 5 games.
Releasing games individually means they can all be marketed individually, and they have a better chance of being a success and not lost in the shuffle.

People will spend $17 to $20 for a two hour movie, and those same people will moan and whine about an $80 game they will put 50+ hours into. It makes no sense.

If it could, I am sure you’d buy it.

I’m probably going to replay (and finally finish) both BOTW and TOTK. The Zelda Notes are very helpful. I played my first ever online game of MK, and I can see myself playing more of that, too.
To everyone complaining by there isn’t enough for launch, you’re not trying enough.

Someone on Reddit compared it to the original Lynx.

The Wii U didn’t even go down in price. Dream on.

While it might be "production reasons," traditionally, March is not exactly where your put a movie you have a ton of faith in (not quite as bad as Jan/Feb, though). Bumping it to May means they might have more faith in it being around well into summer.

After seeing the lines last week, you're really that thick to say it's the Wii U? There were NO lines for Wii U because no one wanted it.
When Nintendo announces they sold over 3 million in the first 24 hours, making it the most successful launch ever, what are you bottom feeders going to say then?
