What are you enjoying on your Switch /v/?

>>713841351 (OP)
Not Mario Kart kek

Should I buy Mario Odyssey or 3D World for a fun weekend or two?

>>713841647
Both are top tier games. Odyssey can last 50+ hours if you decide to 100% it.

>>713841647
Just wait till DK, unless your a rich chad. Which I assume you are cause nintendo is for us chads

>>713841351 (OP)
Im playing this, its cute, adorable and fun!

>>713841647
Both those games are amazing. Especially 3D World when you consider the Bowsers Fury content.

But we're so close to Donkey Kong, it's literally 19 days.

>>713841351 (OP)
PFFTHAHAHAHAAAAAA

>>713841351 (OP)
I'm still balls deep in Mario Kart. Knockout Tour is so addictive.

Also playing TotK and Cyberpunk and Fast Fusion.

>>713842310
>>713841647
Odyssey will get you set up for Bananza and it's the same team and lots of gameplay similarities.

>>713841647
Both games are great, 3D world is about completing short timed obstacle courses while Odyssey is about freely exploring large open areas
3D world has multiplayer and doesn't force you to use motion controls like Odyssey does too, playing Odyssey in handheld mode can be miserable

I'm getting patapon and dk bananza next month

>>713842572
Yea but its good not to get burned out. I would wait for DK and then play odyssey after, but thats just me.

>>713841351 (OP)
BotW and Cyberpunk.

>Strikers is the first post-launch GameCube game
Never played a Mario Strikers game. How is this one considered compared to the others? I used to enjoy football games occasionally (had ISS64 on N64 and would buy a cheap ass FIFA game every gen until this one, just to fuck around in them occasionally) and these look like fun versions of that but with crazier mechanics.

Is there much single player content?

>>713842896
>had ISS64 on N64

Based. I'm also curious. I understand that the GameCube Mario Strikers is well loved.

>>713842415
whats this? jrpg? dungeon crawler?

Playing Mario Kart and enjoying the upgrades to my Switch 1 games. Link's Awakening is like a dream edition of the game on Switch 2. 4K / 60FPS and they even reduced that ugly gausian effect around the border.

>>713843365
I should replay this, I wonder if I'll be able to beat it without a guide this time

I've played the entire switch 2 library and I'm waiting for it to get a second game

>>713843365
It's about time. I once pirated Echoes on my modchipped OLED and it ran like ass

>>713843161
Its very fun. It's turn based combat. Very interesting level up mechanic. You get XP in combat but you dont actually level up. To level up, you take that XP from combat and in your home you can do exercises, you choose what exercises you do. Depending on what you choose to do you increase the corresponding stats (hp, str, magic, agi etc.)
You also craft potions and consumables at home a bit like atelier.
Then, you can recruit animal companions pokemon style, you lower their hp and then use a spell to bind them. You can use a companion in battle. Rhey can also have overworld abilites, like you can mount a pig that works like a mount, or go up hills with a bird.
The game is quite charming and cute without being perverted.

Anyone else really enjoy it?

>>713843506
That sound up my alley actually. I love recruitable critters I'll wish list it so I don't forget. Thanks!

>>713843647
It's pretty fun. Speaking of, in the maraca tech demo, I can clearly feel the rubber ball one, but the beads just feel like standard rumble. Probably a good sign if that's the biggest complaint I had.

>What are you enjoying on your Switch /v/?

Mario Kart World innit. Still grinding the time trials, getting pretty good at some tracks now. I really hope they revert the new update or add a classic mode.

>>713843647
I still can't bring myself to buy it but I will at least admit that it is not as worthless as it initially seemed by going into the technical minutiae. I file it along with Labo and Game Builders Garage in the "neat for getting kids into STEM" category.

>>713843158
I still remember the announcer in ISS64 was hilarious. They did one recording of each teams name and they screamed "ENGLAND" excitedly and Germany was said really seriously and calmly. Even as a kid I thought that was funny as fuck.

>>713843708
Np!

I wish for a new good Strategy RPG. The handheld mode was built for that. Played the shit out of Three Houses back on Switch 1.

>>713844297
Advance wars

>>713844170
>It's gook.
Ugh.

>>713844297
unicorn overlord

>not sure if I want to get Red Dead Redemption on sale digitally or pay full price for the physical game
50 bucks is a bit steep, even if there's no rock star launcher.

>>713844967
Has it gotten updated to support switch 2 yet?

>>713841351 (OP)
Mario kart because this piece of shit has no other games

>>713844297
Seconding Unicorn Overlord but also as a big fan of the Disgaea series, Switch's ports of 4 and 5 are really nice with the enhanced Switch 2 frame rates.

I tried fantasy life for 15 hours and just got bored with it.
Right now I’m alternating between an OoT and Odyssey replay, stardew valley, MK world, and I guess hyrule warriors maybe while waiting for DK.

>>713845357
Was it not working initially? It plays fine on the Switch 2.

>>713841351 (OP)
Front Mission 3

>>713845845
How is it? I remeber reading that the previous ones ran like ass

When are we going to see third party games getting switch 2 updates?
from what I've heard the switch 2 devkit hasn't been released to most developers yet

>>713846060
I'd give it a year before anything widespread goes out.

Doing Mario & Luigi Brothership. Glad I waited for Switch 2 due to the constant loading. Granted I'm kinda sick of it so will take a break from it.

>>713841351 (OP)
Why even ask there's literally only one game(I don't know why)

>>713846060
I expect them to be doled out throughout the next year or two.

>>713842896
>How is this one considered compared to the others?
More arcade than the Switch one, less content than the Wii one.

You can start with this one, then move to the Switch one. If you want more.

Once you get to Charged you won't want to play the other 2.

>>713846060
Unfortunately at least a year, I think Cyberpunk took like 4months or 6 or something like that and they are a good team so it will take a bunch of time even just for upgrades / ports / etc. Nintendo went way over board with their fear of leaks and in the end we basically knew a lot about the console anyways.

>>713846006
I had no problems so far. It's been a while since I played the PS1 version, so I don't know of they made any changes to the script.
>inb4 someone mentions AI upscaling and re-posts those 3 screenshots

Did Nintendo pull the same delayed devkit trick with the Switch 1?

>>713848121

Is Alan Wake better on switch 2? I remember hearing the switch 1 port sucked but im kind of interested now that it's $5

>>713846060
Probably a year until they start popping out
Pretty sure unless you're a big dev most devs didn't get a dev kit until after the system launched

Hoping WB fixes the Batman game with a free patch and maybe the Mortal Kombat games too

Well I mastered all the lives in Fantasy Life i. So... I guess I grind Ginomorsia and groves until I get the rare materials I need?

kill yourselves toddlers

>>713845665
If you don't care that much about numbers go up then Fantasy Life i is a hard sell. Don't think too much about the story. Hunt materials from monsters and resource spots and craft things. Game doesn't open up until you return to the present.

>>713852106
No.
We have chosen our wonderful new beginning.

>>713841351 (OP)
Playing Raidou and Splat3.
Waiting for Bananza and Pokemon.

>713852106
Actually I bought the Switch 2 because I was promised it would crash the AAA gaming industry.

Almost finished cyberpunk now, gonna play the expansion afterwards and then replay it. Gonna do netrunner next time

I still want a decent original dungeon crawler for Switch. Got any reccomendations?

I'm enjoying my shitty switch 2 screen and my one game that Nintendo fucked

That Fast Fusion update that lets you turn off DLSS is kind of mind-boggling. I didn't realize it made that much of a difference. Even though I don't like the weird reconstruction fizzle, it's impossible to go back to no AA.

That being said, why'd Nintendo go through all of the trouble of their own implementation of super resolution, and then not use it in any of their games?

>>713841351 (OP)
Just got a ONN 512GB Express SD on walmart. It was kind of hidden among other SD cards so I figure one of the workers wanted to hide it until he could buy it during a break. Sorry lad, I win.

>>713841351 (OP)
Just started Gal Gun 2, man gyro is so much fun, I really hate how it isn't implemented universally.

>>713854053
I'm holding out for a 2 TB card.
Surely someone will make one now that there's a reason to have it.

>>713854450
A 2tb express card is gonna be like 300.

I see plenty of people shitting on the Front Mission 3 remake. Never actually played the series but I kind of want to try it out. You guys know anything about this game?

>>713854592
I still need to get Front Mission 1 and 2.

MK World is still mainly carrying the console for me, but on a whim I decided to start a fresh island on Animal Crossing. I had no idea they added farming.

>>713841351 (OP)
Day 40 of wishing there was a fucking XCom game on the Switch 2 that used the mouse

>>713841351 (OP)
Mario Kart has been fun. I just play KT so I could care less about the new patch bs.

Will buy TOTK soon with the updatem and Odyssey on sale.

Waiting for Demon x Machina

>>713841351 (OP)
Any good switch 2 cases under $20?

>>713841590
I dont understand why Nintendo didnt have another game ready for launch. I mean I cant be the only person that really likes most Nintendo games but hates Mario Kart. Im waiting for DK to actual buy it and ive had an original Switch since launch.

Thanks

>on sale
This one's good, right? I just want to play as Knuckles and Godzilla in a ball.

Nintendo Switch 2 owners can now also get console-banned over 'Inappropriate' usernames - NotebookCheck.net News https://share.google/8Mjf2Aic9ROa1Vpjj

>>713863976

So how bad is the new update for Mario Kart World? I've been playing single player mostly.

>>713863976
>buy Switch 2
>set username to NiggerKillerKKK
>money stolen

>>713859389
kill yourself goycattle

>>713865728
Really fucking bad

So how's the Yakuza 0 port? I wanna get into the series but I'd like to hear some impressions of the port.
>>713862540
It has a demo if you wanna give it a try. Haven't played it myself but those who did seem to agree it's one of the best ones.

Got a japanese copy of bravely default. The odd thing is it was $10 cheaper to buy and import this than to buy an american copy

>>713865658
>>713866014
His name was just "twink link" not "nigger killer". Regardless a permaban with no warning for an offensive name is an excessive punishment.

>>713866815
It is excessive yes. If you look at that guys comment history he says nintendo thinks the ban was a mistake though.

pic related will suck you in
there is always something to do next and the breadth of the game is utterly massive
and there is already at least two major DLCs planned

I'm already bored of Mario Kart World.
What Switch 1 games should I play in my massive backlog? I basically have all of the notable 1st party games and former third party exclusives.

>>713868621
Splatoon 3. You might get rekt in the PvP multiplayer modes if you're new, though.

>>713841351 (OP)
So this game finally dropped in price, albeit not by much. What's the longevity of it anyway?

>>713868453
I hope "Brand New" gets turned into "Archeologist" who gets new attacks.

>>713869094
>paying $20 for a GBA ROM
dummy

>>713868621
Metroid Dread and Pikmin 4 if you haven't played them already.

I don't have a switch 2 yet

>>713869259
Played through Dread at launch. Still need to play the first 3 Pikmin games.

I've been really enjoying Bayonetta 3, genuinely surprised at how much I'm enjoying it too, the story and tone is a little too all over the place but in terms of gameplay it's super solid. I love the Demon TF stuff as well. Hopefully if there's actually anyone left at Platinum who worked on the game they'll get a Switch 2 update for it down the line, a res boost would be nice.

>>713846261
Must have hallucinated all the time I put into Bravely Default

>>713841647
You don't need a switch 2 to play those games anon

>You don't need a switch 2 to play those games anon

>>713869262
Same, I'm really not interested in Mario Kart or DK. But I will probably cave in once Prime 4 gets closer.

>>713868453
I actually bought this by mistake. I had both Fantasy Life and Rune Factory on my wish list and misclicked - glad I did. How is Rune Factory bros?

>>713870081
I played one on the Wii and absolutely hated micromanaging the runeys. Dropped the entire series after that and just replayed Harvest Moon again.

>>713869835
why are you posting a cartoonish image of your reaction of anons greentext

How long do you think we have to wait until the next Zelda, Mario and Smash?

>>713849317
I despise that Nintendo refuses to do sales of more than 30% off. I'm not expecting mega hits like Animal Crossing to drop super low, they're a company and they want to make money so of course they're never going to make Animal Crossing or Pokemon go on deep sale, but come the fuck on, Xenoblade 2 is 8 fucking years old, why is the best sale it's ever had 30% off? I'm able to buy Tales of Arise right now for 75% and that game is from 2021 and both of them sold about the same (2 - 3 million units).

>>713841351 (OP)
there's nothing to play rn, but I'm patiently waiting for bananza

Any screen protector recommendations? I'm afraid to take my switch out of the dock in case of scratches.

>>713871575
It's a switch 2 btw

>can't find a regular Switch 2 in-stock
>only bundles around me every so often
Should I wait on importing Fantasy Life i from Japan to see if it gets a bigger price drop down the line?

>>713841647
3d world will probably go by quicker if you are wanting a warm up before DK B.
Otherwise odyssey.

>>713843506
I'm intrigued at least.
About how long is the game?

>>713844297
warhammer40k mechanicus.

All these Nintendofags lied to me about there being adequate stock after the launch. I didn't pre-order because I don't care about racing games but Bananza looks kino and I just got a few hundred from a settlement the other day so fuck it. Every online retailer is out of stock with the latest update being 5 days ago on Hotstock, and every Best Buy, Walmart, and Target in a 30 mile radius has been wiped since last weekend. I figured it'd take some effort but shit.

>>713872656
use https://www.switchsniper.com/ there's been a lot of restocks, you'll get one pretty quick

How does triangle strategy run on the switch 2? Is it worth buying at full price? Apparently it rarely goes on sale in the au shop

>>713871801
>>713872656
Don't give up bros, I was in the same boat while I checked google daily for upcoming restocks and finally got the non bundle from an online Walmart drop. Even though I needed the stupid Walmart plus subscription to buy it an hour earlier than other people }:<

>>713872959
>>713873152
Thanks bros, I'll keep trying and hope I can get in. I actually have a Walmart+ 30 day trial I can use up if that might help.

I predicted Switch 2 would have a strong launch then sales would fall off a cliff, was I right or wrong?

>>713875489
You're going to assume any numbers you see match your prediction anyway. Also literally every launch has a burst on release then slow sales in the first year.

>>713869836
I'm just gonna play that on Switch 1.

>>713875570
Project less.

>>713841351 (OP)
I'm not enjoying anything on my switch 2. Mario Kart sucks

>>713841351 (OP)
Waiting for my brother to quit TOTK out of frustration, probably won't take that long considering how fast he quit BOTW. I did warn him that if you didn't like the last game this will certainly not do enough to change your mind. And hopefully he lets me borrow his.

Do the models disappear if you try to take pics of the girls' butts in Mayro Kratt?

can anyone who has previously played Fast RMX tell me how Fast Fusion plays in comparison? Would you say it’s better or about the same?

>>713875927
It does. There's still switch 1 games at better performance on third parties like Rune Factory Azuma though

MKW knockout tour and The Minish Cap

>>713876232
Fusion has less tracks than RMX, therefore less content. 12 tracks by default + 3 added with an update from few days ago. Those 12 tracks are new, and added 3 are from RMX...but "tweeked" for Fusion's gameplay. You see, Fusion has a jump option now.
It still has championship, hero mode, and timw attack (which wasn't in RMX when the game kaunched but was added with an update, I think).

It's called Fusion because now you have the option to fuse any 2 vehicles into a new one.

There is no multiplayer, only 2-player share. Not surprising, because multiplayer for RMX didn't last long.

Reddit spacing again.
Overall I think I liked RMX more, but Fusion (even with less content) is still a good game.

>>713876882
Fuck, I noticed few grammar errors now. Sorry, am a phonefag.

I kinda need something else to play and was unironically tempted to get mario kart
I only have 2 girls left to marry in GoA that I consider worth my time so I'm basically done with the one game I bought this thing for
How is the new mario kart anyway?

>>713877151
Gets boring after a week and they fucked up online play. Not worth $80 unless you have friends/family over frequently imo

I'll try 100cc GP next. Hope there's an update for 200cc soon.

>>713841351 (OP)
Thanks for asking! Just enjoying Super Mario Sunshine on m- Oh wait...

God third parties are a joke on the Switch 2, I'm playing Tears of the Kingdom, Mario Kart World and Chronicles of the Wolf, Chronicles of the Wolf is just Lecarde Chronicles 2 again, but as an original IP and a paid release, I don't blame the creator Lecarde Chronicles 1/2 are the best Castlevania games in decade.

>>713872656
Strange, Youtube has already assured me that Switch 2 demand has fallen off of a cliff.

why the fuck does the switch 3 not connect to my wifi when i undock it and then fails to connect manually multiple times??

>did a system transfer
>used up literally all of the internal memory of my new console
>don't even want to play any of the stuff I moved over
why did I do this
I don't even remember the stuff it said it would delete from my switch 1 so now I feel like I fucked everything up and the virtual cards are confusing and I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING

>>713841351 (OP)
I missed the sale of Ys Memorie: Oath of Felghana, but Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA is even cheaper.

>>713882267
>stuff it would delete
Huh?

>>713841351 (OP)
Mario kart world and splatoon 3. Did Dread get an upgrade?

>>713883845
No, patches look to be coming around other new content though, so expect to see it in conjunction with MP4, apparently Nintendo are done with Mercury Steam these days.

>>713859475
They likely thought whatever they released would have its sales cannibalized by mk. Also remember mkw was supposed to be a switch one game so maybe they just didn't have anything ready and released the switch two prematurely.

>>713865658
you read the tos?

>>713871478
So nintendo doesn't devalue their brand? If people become accustomed to sales they'll just wait for a game to go on sale rather than buying at full price.

>>713859475
Bro, they have all of the switch 1 games ready to go. wtf?

>>713885093
Again, I get why they do it. I think it's a shit thing to do that is a net negative for the end consumer solely so they can keep a small element of brand prestige.

PlayStation, Microsoft have prestige as well, but they're still actually willing to put their shit on sale and no one (sane) is walking around saying Xbox's fucking problem is that they do sales that are more than 30% on their published games.

And again, when contemporaries in the same genre in the same sales range (eg Xenoblade 2 vs Tales of Arise) the idea falls flat. Xenoblade 2 is not prestigious enough to have never fucking gone on sale for more than 30% off in its entire 8 years since release.

> If people become accustomed to sales they'll just wait for a game to go on sale rather than buying at full price.
This doesn't stop other publishers getting multi-million sellers, it wouldn't stop Nintendo.

It sucks because Switch / Switch 2 would actually be perfect to go all digital on if it wasn't that 90% of the relevant games on it were published by the company with the worst digital store front sales in the industry.

>>713885624
>>713871478
>Arise
I still want money back even though I pirated that trash heap.

>>713849317

Should I buy Octopath traveler 2 or Triangle Strategy?

>>713885093
The N64 released with 4m of Ram with the ram controller on the GPU, the Ram itself was high latency but having to go through the GPU to access the ram introduced additional latency, this high latency hamstrung the N64's graphical capabilities and higher resolutions were not achievable to even skilled developers, move onto the Gamecube and the Ram while still accessed through the GPU was about as low latency as Nintendo could get, it was to the point where it was unnecessary
Nintendo tend to be quite reactive when it comes to problems and tend to overcorrect, their pricing for games is an overcorrection from Steam sales which have killed the value of games, you don't have to wait a year games tend to go on sale mere months after launch, and Nintendo themselves don't even do discount re-releases anymore because of this.
Same thing with anti hacking measure on the Switch 2, Nintendo saw people playing Tears of the Kingdom before it even launched, saw big name games journalism website talking about emulating Switch games including linking roms and even Youtubers daring them to do something about them emulating these games, so Nintendo did, they locked that shit down tight and now just wreck your shit outright for fucking around, all just an overcorrection for everyone else's fuckery.

>>713887515
>Octopath traveler 2
Both are pretty good but Octopath Traveler 2 I enjoyed significantly more. Been playing it on my Steamdeck while on vacation in Norway.

Anyone have any recs on a good grip case? The ergonomics on this thing are fucking atrocious.

is there still a shortage? i got mine 2 weeks ago from the Nintendo Store

>>713888638
Yea, but new shipments come in every week to online stores and it takes an hour or so to sell out, so if you want one you can get one by trying hard enough

>>713888638
Nintendo issued an apology yesterday for not being able to meet demand.

https://gamerant.com/nintendo-president-apology-switch-2-shortages/

Waiting for the direct that's hopefully the week after the 4th
I have a slew of games I wouldn't mind replaying that haven't gotten patches yet like the Xenoblade series, and some games I'm holding out hope for getting patched like bravely default 2

>only 50€

well god damn

Rune factory or fantasy life?
I'm down for some farming game

Playing Mario Kart, BotW/TotK, Cyberpunk and dipping into old switch games to see the improvements. Can't wait for Donkey Kong and Metroid Prime 4.

>>713888958
The shareholders meeting with the global sales numbers in early August is going to break this board apart
My guess is over 5 million through June 30th

>>713889024
Fantasy life if you're more interested in the farming sim parts, rune factory if you want the waifu sim

>>713888638
It seems like they get stocked a couple times a week around me and are gone within a day. Not impossible to get but far from just walking in a store randomly and expecting to grab one whenever.

>put off a Wind Waker replay for years specifically hoping for a Switch release to play portable

Feels good

I can't believe I won. Winning here feels a million times better than in MK8, because you are raped every 5 seconds. FUCK

>>713869170
Archeologists are just the lazy imps of the world.
Even though they can get the strongest weapon in the game.

>>713890006
MKW is far more balanced and the minmaxing faggots cannot stand it because they can't dominate the online and shit it up for everyone else.

I remember when Mario Tennis released on Switch and it was great for about 2 days and then minmaxing faggots ruined it for everyone.

>>713890675
Yeah. I won a lot of races in MK8. When I was in first place and had a shell or whatever behind me I felt very safe, I built up an advantage and even the blue shell didn't bother me. Here? I'M NERVOUS AS FUCK

>>713841351 (OP)
I've been drowning in Deltarot for the past month, barely has anytime to actually play Mario Kart or Tears of the Kingdom(even though I really want to).
The Deltarot is just that strong.

Is there any reason to buy a Switch if you already have a PS4?
I don't give a fuck about crap like Splatoon or Mario Kart. I might play Pokemon or Zelda if I can get them for less than $15.

>>713893652
>for less than $15.
Lol
Lmao

>>713893652
sure, but you will never get them for $15 lmao

Been playing MKW and still enjoying it despite what this site and the rest of the internet telling me I shouldn't. I also beat Deltarune chapters 3+4. Playing TOTK at 60 FPS really is a huge difference that I really love.

I never played Wind Waker before, should I give it a shot?

Same, I'm actually going for a 100% completion run now that the FPS bump and the Zelda notes app gave me the push to do it, finally got all the Korok seeds and beat all the monsters, now I just need to complete a few side quests and I'm done.

>>713893652
>I might play Pokemon or Zelda if I can get them for less than $15.
As discussed in this thread already, Nintendo first party never ever ever ever ever goes on sale for more than 30% off. Ever.

>>713893652
Mike.
I shit you not the Mike Mini-games in the Switch 2 version are actually kinda fire.
And don't lie to me, you're a Deltarune fan like I am, you'd pay any price for /our/ overloard Tricky Tony.

Waiting patiently for DK to release and for a sale on Age of Calamity. One of these will happen.

>>713893768
I grew up with WW and am playing it again and it's every bit as kino as I remember.

Depending on your expectations/personal preferences for the series, you may not be a huge fan of the Great Sea or a mid-to-late game segment where the game basically says "hey go out and explore lol". Regardless it's a great game and none of this is god awful - just a matter of taste. You may be like me and one of those people who thinks the Great Sea is rad for the vibe of the separated islands along with the idea of fishing up treasure.

>>713894264
I'm in a weird spot with DK. I think it looks great, genuinely nothing against it, but my interest level is really low for some reason.

I think it's because I still haven't finished TotK and the idea of picking up another "run around and find random shit for god knows how many hours" game when I have two or three others backed up isn't appealing to me.

Hope anons enjoy it and maybe I'll pick it up later in the year. For now though I'm hyped as fuck for Metroid Prime 4.

Been slowly chugging through Mario & Luigi Brothership. I did ignore Three Hopes until I got a Switch 2 for 60 FPS but I did one mission then stopped caring since Hyrule Warriors 3 got announced and Warriors games are pretty samey.

>>713894638
How has Brothership been, what is it like on Switch 2?
I first played it when it first came out, and finished it before Switch 2 was revealed, so I have yet to test it myself.

>>713894503
Im anticipating Prime 4 tremendously myself. I cant imagine it matches Prime 1 or 2, but im sure itll be fun

>>713883845
No, I'm avoiding replaying Prime Remastered or Dread until the release date trailer for Prime 4 since I figure any update announcement is then or never.

>>713889953
Not touching WW on NSO for two reasons

1)Need the fast sail and shorter Triforce Hunt from HD
2)40th anniversary next year so figure either they do 4k ports for Switch 2 then or the HD ports of it or TP are just never getting released.

>Why does everyone hate Ninten-
>Wait a minute! Hahahahaha! I own a gaming PC as well

>>713894742
I mean the game is kinda crap as is expected for a post BiS M&L but Switch 2 fixed the frame pacing so the 30 FPS doesn't feel as bad and I have it digitally so the constant loading screens are only a second long on Switch 2. Honestly only bought it because new console library padding + vouchered it with a second copy of Smash Bros to have Smash on it 24/7.

>>713894987
I'll say personally I'm so fucking happy it's not HD. I'm one of those people that fundamentally despises the lighting change. I think they did the one thing that misses the point of the originals visuals. The new lighting makes the whole game go from looking like flat colours to weird clay-like textures because of the gradients the bloom lighting introduces.

Fast sail would be nice and I admit my high tolerance for enjoying comfy travel in games means I'm less bothered by the sailing than others.

Triforce Hunt I'm literally doing right now and I still don't get the hate for it.

What are some switch 1 games that run much better on switch 2 despite not having updates for it?

>>713905060
>Resident Evil 5 & 6
>Little Nightmares 1
>the Earth Defense Force games
>Bakeru
>Zelda Age of Calamity
I assume the other musou games too but I haven't personally tested them yet
Talos Principle and Serious Sam 3 also both run much better but they do suffer some micro-freezes in specific parts of the levels.

>>713905801
>5 & 6
You have a friend to play with for co-op? 5 is best with co-op but sorta fun solo. 6 is unplayable without a friend to experience the hilariously bad Michael Bay-splosion story where vehicles crash every 10 seconds and explode.

>>713904772
Yeah they have Jap audio and Eng subs. P5 doesn't look as good as PS5 or even PS4 but it is surprisingly good on Switch. Short load times and looks pretty good.
>>713905060
Any game that used dynamic resolution (quite a lot) will now almost hit max possible res. Poor frame pacing and frame drops are being brute forced by better hardware.
And then there are a couple cases (Rabbids Kingdom) that must have been double buffered, meaning that they were originally coded to hit 60fps if possible, but since that was never possible, the games defaulted to 30fps on S1 but now hit 60 on S2.
Bear in mind that while stuff like Bayo3 runs perfectly now, playing in handheld sucks for most games because they're still running in S1 handheld mode and thus are upscaled on the bigger S2 screen. I've been playing SMT V on S2 and it's still 30 but it feels and looks better, but only in docked mode.

>>713841351 (OP)
I hate this thing, man. I can't do it anymore, bros.

>>713841647
3D World is the far better game, but it's pretty generic Mario. Odyssey is honestly just not very good.

>>713906486
don't hate it. sell your playstation and buy it, you won't regret it

>>713906714
I don't have a playstation, I've only ever had nintendo systems. I'm just sad. This sucks.

>>713841647
Yeah, both are great.
I preferred Odyssey. 3D World, while the levels are fantastic, lacked that bit of charm, style and "soul" that Odyssey had.

>>713905060
basically anything that wasn't constantly capped at 30/60 will be forced to do so
the driver level DLSS also helps sometimes, but in the case of first party titles without patches like XB games it actually makes it worse

>>713906113
Haven't tried splitscreen co-op mode on Switch 2 yet with someone IRL. My bad.
>6 is unplayable without a friend to experience the hilariously bad Michael Bay-splosion story where vehicles crash every 10 seconds and explode.
It's playable in solo but the game is definitely janky, after finishing Leon's and Chris' campaigns. I'll be honest that I even turned off the QTEs in order to enjoy the game a bit more.

>>713907163
What's wrong?

Systems at launch always lack good a lot of games to play.

>>713907249

>>713841351 (OP)

And the companies that do sales like that make an absolute killing.

I really want to get the new Pro controller but I guess I better wait like half a year to see if drifting is a non issue at all, I never had a problem with my Switch 1 Pro controllers so I shouldn't be worried that much.

>>713907753
You got a Costco membership? They're $20 off there.

>>713907641
Will I have to jump through any extra hoops?

>>713907684
It's really bad on all GameCube games. About 8 frames of lag. Joysticks aren't calibrated the same as GameCube either so you get wonky steering in F-Zero. Soul Calibur is unplayable.

>>713907641
but can you play it on your regular account or is it stuck on your jap account?

>>713908018
Here's how it works (an anon told someone else in a thread the other day and I tried it and it works)
1. Make new Nintendo account with Japan as the region, use a different email from your main account
2. Add this account as a second user on your NS2
3. You now have the JP eshop on your NS2 when you open it with this user
4. Now make Amazon JP account and get 9000 yen eshop credit (it isnt upmarked on Amazon, which is why we use it instead of an easier site like playasia)
5. DK bananza for 20-25 less (depending on whether youre paying euros, pounds, or us dollars)

>>713908253
Anything you download to your Switch is playable on all accounts regardless of which eShop it's from

>>713908253
You can play on both accounts, theres no region locking for playing, only for paying.

>>713908253
addendum to the awnsers you will get
you should be buying exclusively from japan anyway, no point in wasting money with middlemen, especially now that games in japan are releasing with westoidese support anyway so you got no excuse even as an EOP

>>713908294
will they ban people doing this? you could lose your games

they are permanently bricking consoles for having mildly offensive account names like "twink link"

>>713908294
PS. If youre not getting DK specifically make sure any game youre buying or preordering says "英語" (English) in the language support section on the eshop page, 95% of Nintendos first party offerings on the JP shop have English lang support but just double check every single time because there are exceptions

>>713908484
>they are permanently bricking consoles for having mildly offensive account names like "twink link"
That's just being based, fuck trannies.

>>713841351 (OP)
don't have one
does it play my switch 1 games better?

>>713908484
This is perfectly legal and doesnt go against their TOS, theyd stop people from doing this if they could. In Europe it goes against EU law so Nintendos hands are tied

>>713908550
Nothing about that is based. I don't want to have to walk on eggshells with the $500 I bought that I should own, not Nintendo.

>>713908623
i feel like in other countries they might block it

what if a bunch of gaming slop websites start putting up "PSAs" about this and "How to save 25$ on every game" nintendo will go scorched earth

>>713908869
this has been known for years, its a very common practice
nobody has had their switch purged or accounts lost
you are paying nintendo money no matter what
90% of people only buy at msrp on their eshop so they dont even notice the lost money

Why isn’t square enix in the summer sale?!

>>713908869
one of them might be retarded enough to title it "how to cheat nintendo out of 25$" or "dont want to pay 99$ for donkey kong bananza? try this"

>>713908581
Varies by game. Primarily three types

- Games with free upgrade patches (Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening etc) - these run considerably better with higher frame rates and resolutions. The difference is typically very meaningful
- Games with paid upgrade patches (Mario Party Jamboree, Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom etc) - these also run considerably better with higher frame rates and resolutions, however to access the enhanced performance you'll need to buy an upgrade pack. These paid ones typically also include Switch 2 exclusive content (eg new modes in Jamboree)
- Games with no patches. These may or may not perform better. They'll run at the same resolution, but if they struggled to reach their frame rate cap before, they may be able to brute force it now. Loading should be better also. How much this has an impact varies by game, but either way don't expect miracles.

>>713908869
They cant block it in other countries because then they arent allowed to do business in EU countries.

>>713908974
i think ill just play ot safe and pay daddy nintendo his extra 25 bucks

>>713909067
If you want more information, look up "EU consumer bias". Basically the EU digital trade rules are written this way to strongarm corporations into playing fair(er)

>>713909067
they cant block it in US because of EU countries?

then how do other platforns region lock games?

Alternating between Ender Magnolia, Bravely Default remaster and Fantasy Life i.

>>713908484
>will they ban people doing this? you could lose your games
Switch 1 & 2 are both region-free so no.
What can happen on the other hand is the Amazon JP account getting restricted or temporarily locked if it suspects a weird behavior and you fail the security checks.
>they are permanently bricking consoles for having mildly offensive account names like "twink link"
No offense but you need to be a special kind of moron to believe this kind of story from the Internet

>>713909049
hmm is there any list of comparisons by game anywhere yet?

>>713908869
Anon, they can't block it. Furthermore, they have no reason to, they're the number one most profitable company in Japan right now.
Think about it logically. Many people speak Japanese or are JP-expats living abroad. They will probably have two accounts set up for ease of use or for language specific games - that's why Nintendo support this service. You can only buy DLC for the region you have your game from too, so it's literally impossible to police this...
If they could "block this" then they'd have to check millions of Switch units BY HAND.

Anyone played the Baten Kaitos remasters on S2? They had unlocked framerates so they should be good now, right?
And no I don't care about the English voices.

>>713909417
NTA but can someone also give a QRD on what Baten Kaitos even is?

>>713909493
It’s a deckbuilder rpg like slay the spire.

>>713859475
I dont understand why you had an original Switch since launch since there was no exclusive games, only 1-2-Shitch.

>>713885624
>And again, when contemporaries in the same genre in the same sales range (eg Xenoblade 2 vs Tales of Arise) the idea falls flat. Xenoblade 2 is not prestigious enough to have never fucking gone on sale for more than 30% off in its entire 8 years since release

It's first-party Nintendo game though.

>>713908294
>4. Now make Amazon JP account and get 9000 yen eshop credit (it isnt upmarked on Amazon, which is why we use it instead of an easier site like playasia)
If I already have a Japanese Amazon account but set in my country as my default shipping address (which I used to import stuff before), can I add a Japanese address for the digital codes just like that? Or is it trickier?

>>713909949
Yep just add a JP address and make sure its selected at checkout for billing

>>713909493
jrpg from gamecube days where your attacks and spells and shit are cards.
>>713909669
it's a deck builder but it's a jrpg. It's not like Slay The Spire at all

>>713908545
isnt that for audio language though

>release Mario Kart World conveniently at the beginning of June
>A whole month to get burnt out on it
>release Donkey Kong Bananza in the fucking middle of July

Why?

>>713910281
No? You think a 10GB game has space for a audio dozen languages lol?
Itll be English and japanese, same as the western version

>>713910281
Nah. The listed languages are for text

>>713908294
Why not get it physically and resell it once you're done with it? You'll be saving way more than doing all that hassle of making a JP account.

Anyways, I'll be using that method for digital only games, I appreciate it man! Will it work for switch online subscriptions?

Anyone else have an uncle that would make them close their eyes and then rub a magic lamp to make a wish?

>>713910694
I like revisiting my games and i travel a lot so physical isnt an upside for me but yeh if you are more sedentary physical better
Yes it also works for NSO

>>713859475
I don't care much for Mario Kart either, but we're in the minority it seems. Ever since the Wii U and 3DS, Mario Kart has been the best-selling game on every Nintendo console. Even previous generations like the Wii all the way to the SNES, it was always at least in the top 5, usually second to a launch title or pack-in game like Wii Sports. It sucks, but from a logical standpoint, it was probably the best launch title Nintendo could have picked since there are tons of normies who only buy a Nintendo console for Mario Kart.

>>713910694
Importing a physical copy costs extra with the shipping fees and, if you live in Europe, the custom taxes as well. It'll be harder to resell something like a Japanese VN or similarly niche.
Creating a Japanese Eshop is fairly simple, it's more the fact you can't buy anything there without the prepaid cards as a gaijin

>>713908869
They may not want to block it.
This means any purchase you make counts as a japanese sale, which would inflate japanese sales and continue perpetuating the idea that the west is a dying market while making the japanese market be more profitable.
If the news also end up reaching JP devs, it would send them the idea that anyone that truly cares about their games will just buy them at the source directly, meaning localization would be an obsolete concept.

I can understand Nintendo's stance to not interact with every retardation happening on the Internet, just let it die since people simply forget about nearly every outrage anyway.

Will probably get that Rune Factory spin-off later, and Metroid Prime 4, because why the fuck not at this point.
And then I'll just be waiting for the next FE, Xeno, game to come to Switch 2.

I'd list other games I'd want and could potentially be perfect for what the Switch 2 set up, but Nintendo has a nasty habit of being clinically retarded when a console has a feature perfect for a game or series and then not having that game or series appear on the console (ex. Wii U and Pokemon Snap)

haven't bought either a switch 1 or 2. im seeing open box OLEDs played like once on ebay for like $200 now that the s2 is out. is it worth buying one and installing a mod chip to play the switch 1 back catalog for a year or two until switch 2 price cuts or OLED comes out? or should i just get a steam deck secondhand and emulate

>>713915710
theres no reason to own a switch 1 at this point even at a discount for a backlog. wait for a switch 2 battery/screen upgrade or a price cut, whichever comes first

>>713915710
depends on how much you like nu-nintendo games. I got a modded OLED last year but the library really isn't anything special

Got the Nintendo Switch 2 on my first try going out using Popfindr at a GameStop yesterday. The location was a city district that was 25 mins away from me with shitty parking but it was worth it. I also had funniest interaction there too.

>This rule is in place obviously to prevent fucking some other customer over with a defective or banned switch 2 in the second hand market
>Its why they strongly advise every customer to get the warranty to circumvent this but I think a warranty for a gaming console is ridiculous
>My brother, the managers, and I were all laughing at this faggot as he was putting the blame on GameStop when in actuality its Nintendo fault for creating two SKUs where MKW is either pre installed or comes in as a code in the box
>GameStop even told him to contact Nintendo's number for his situation since its out of their hands to do anything
>Tattooed ended up recording the managers and left in a rage where you broken an Xbox copy of a telltale game on his way out
I literally experienced the perfect GameStop moment when buying this thing lol. When causes Gamestop to possess this type of autism where they can be labelled as the waffle house of big retail. Also this is why buying physical is so important. PHYSICAL CHADS RISE UP.

No I wouldn’t, I bought a shitty switch 1 and every single game I ever bought for it sucked cock. Nintendo is dogshit anymore, it baffles me why anyone even still copes, the entire thing is a hollow soulless cash grab, the games are barren of detail and depth, it’s just a business to make money from kids, and you fat losers act like it’s normal to keep playing this shit well into your adulthood despite it costing more and more and delivering less and less.

Nice SINGLE launch title retard. Nice ANCIENT graphical fidelity for $600. Nice $80 fucking Mario kart comprised of fucking straight line courses.

Holy shit you’re pathetic. If every fat obese NEET tendie was wiped from the face of the earth literally EVERYONE would benefit.

>>713918048
I haven't been able to 3 star a single knockout, fun mode but it is hellish.

>>713918049
Donkey Kong is gonna be kino.
Xenoblade trilogy + X on switch are great
Odyssey is fine, if a little derisive and bland
BOTW and TOTK are fine but you can only play one so pick your poison

>>713841351 (OP)
My v1 Switch battery might be dead. Is it time for me to start watching S2 stock? Waiting for Splatoon Raiders and Tomodachi Life.

>>713918049
You sound bitter and miserable, I recommend:

- Talking to a loved one about it
- Going on a walk to clear your mind
- Consult a mental health professional
- Avoid using 4chan or associated sites for a few weeks

Hope things get better for you buddy, remember: It's not healthy to become emotionally invested in the spending habits and hobbies of other people.

>>713918195
Botw single-handedly convinced me to never buy another Nintendo product. Odyssey was ok but not good enough to ever touch again, and I 100%’d. Also crazy short and shallow content in both games. Totk was the laziest most brazen cash grab I had ever seen. I pirated it and dropped it after 20 hours lmao.

Donkey Kong might be cool, but it’s going to be cool within 30 hours and that’s it. None of this shit is worth $80. These games have the breadth of a $15-$20 indie game on steam.
>>713918342
Go back to Redd*t you fat fuck. I have had some great gaming experiences this year and over the last 5 years, and NONE of those have come from this lake fucking company that USED to make good games for everyone.

Enjoy your bad games made for kids now though I guess.

>>713918049
>Nice ANCIENT graphical fidelity
>Meanwhile PS5 games barely look any better than PS4 games after 5 fucking years.

What are games that I can directly jump in, play 20 mins and pause again? Mario Kart is kinda this but I don't get hooked enough. I have 400 hours in binding of isaac because every round is different and it's so satisfying to unlock more and more.

this is what I have so far. dunno what else I should buy.
y the fuck couldn't ff13 and 13-2 be on the switch. that would be perfect.

>>713918562
I do agree that the games are overpriced but as the JP anon says above, you can get DK for 40 at launch which imo is worth the price

>>713918049

>>713918309
Where are you? You can get Switch 2s by walking into a store here in EU

>>713918686
I have a ps5 and it looks incredible. Your dogshit handheld has a laughable refresh rate and still can’t touch a ps4’s performance lmao, the ps4 is 11 years old btw.
I also have a pc and series x but the series x broke. The series x broke and I haven’t touched my release switch in like 4 years. Those two purchases were mistakes.

>>713918342
you sound like a fag who got infected by therapy speak lol

>>713918562
>I have had some great gaming experiences this year and over the last 5 year
Then how come you show up with such a rancid attitude? You should definitely check that up buddy, if you're enjoying yourself, you shouldn't even have the time to shit up the thread you know?

Actually, I have an idea, why don't you give us gaming recommendations now that you're here? Could be any of those "great gaming experiences" you had!

>>713918882
US, I live in a small Midwestern town. There might be stock available the average person probably doesn't give a shit about Switch 2.

>>713918791
Debatable but yeah I wouldn’t die on that hill. It could be a good game. I just hate modern Nintendo quite a bit and I haven’t seen something good come from the switch era at all, every one of these games has a better predecessor from a previous system.

>>713906338
Thanks man

>>713918895
And I have a PC capable of running those games and has good performance for them. There is nothing the PS5 has that can be played decently on the PS4.
Bragging you wasted money on a console that can barely be considered better with far less features than a PC isn't the gotcha you think it is, at least the Swtich 2 has the excuse of being a handheld and actually has games, even if they aren't fully revealed yet

>>713919156
Because I am disgusted by what you are, what you enjoy, and what you financially support.
I despise everything about you just like how I despise simps and other completely out of touch leeches on society.

You’re pathetic and I sincerely mean it when I say you should kill yourself.

>>713919161
Hmm, have a look around town see if you can find one. If not then yeah go on watchlist but desu i dont think youll need to watch for one to drop even in america, my us/canad friends all got them after launch so no problem i think

>>713918882
NTA but its pretty grim depending where you are in the US. Im in NY and its been a dead zone in the whole tristate area after launch. Unironically considering picking one up when I visit my cousin in South Carolina a few weeks from now because it might unironically be easier to find in the middle of nowhere kek

>>713918049
What are some good games? Maybe we can play together :)

>>713919271
There are many games that can only be played on ps5, the ps4 has numerous limitations and if you played ps games frequently you would be aware of this.

SWITCH 1? DOGSHIT

SWITCH 2? WE'RE SO BACK

>>713919304
And the games? This is the point where you could show some significant improvement in your attitude and actually collaborate to the thread,.you know?

Why did you dodge my question? Where are these "great gaming experiences" you mentioned?

>>713919351
Wild. EU has had stock everywhere since launch. Maybe it's Europoor or maybe Nintendo is trying to hedge tarriffs, but I could walk to 2 stores rn for a Switch 2 and drive to like 10.

>>713841351 (OP)
My Switch 2 is arriving tomorrow, already planning to get Bananza and NSO Upgrade for GX.

Is the Fast RMX sequel good?

>>713919441
>There are many games that can only be played on ps5
Anon that stopped being true when Sony decided to port nearly all their games to the PC platform partially to make back production costs. Why do you think emulating nintendo platforms became a profitable venture? Because nintendo doesn't give a shit about other platforms, just their own.

>>713919441
AW LAWD YE we gots astrobot and like, I dunno, someone post that wiki page. COME ON DAOWN and we'll game. Lil nigga console got a popped collar like my boy Y-Tre (we ain't gay)

>>713919607
>NSO upgrade for GX
Nice, that's also my plan. Is the GC controller actually preferred, or does Pro work just as well?

>>713919365
Why would I want to play with tendies?
>>713919450
You’re not entitled to an answer you fat manchild. Welcome to the big boy world.

Just bought the MKW bundle, had some questions
>will I lose MKW if I port my switch 1 over?
>I like cloning items on TotK, does it automatically update the game or keep the patch I’m on?
>how do I ensure my Pokemon scarlet save isn’t wiped upon transfer?

>>713919803
So you refuse to answer? Oh, then I guess I'm sorry, but I'm morally obligued to report lies when I see them.

Then again, you're a Sony fanboy, so... Yeah... You must be used to that...

>>713919441
>There are many games that can only be played on ps5

>>713919756
I only play a few. I couldn’t give less of a shit about Sony, their first party titles ALSO suck ass. But, it serves as a comfortable gaming platform for the couch and TV. My pc can run anything, but for AA and AAA titles I can play more of what I like on ps5. I do not like modern Nintendo games, at all, so there is no reason to ever kneecap myself with their shitty system in the first place.

>>713919997
>>713920073
TFD just dropped support for ps4 so they could have bigger open world content in their next update. You can’t play that on ps4 but you can on ps5.

>>713908294
You know Nintendo is going to ban this eventually, right?
Also this doesn't work for those who want it physically.

>>713920269
>may you get caught ahhh post

>>713919803
That other guy wasn't me. I have a 4090 and a 9800X3D. I'm serious, give me a good game to play.

>>713920371
Ok, Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon

>>713920365
What I mean is Nintendo will catch on and create some sort of countermeasure that makes things harder for everyone.
Do you want the next console to be region locked?

>>713919845
>will I lose MKW if I port my switch 1 over?
No

>I like cloning items on TotK, does it automatically update the game or keep the patch I’m on?
I think it only updates if you download the Switch 2 enhancement, then again, there's a new cloning trick that works for the latest patch (both Switch 1 and Switch 2), check it out before you decide.

>how do I ensure my Pokemon scarlet save isn’t wiped upon transfer?
Sadly, Pokémon Savefiles come with the warning that the Savefiles for your switch 1 WILL be wiped after the transference, and it's either doing the full transfer knowing this, or just passing over the virtual game cards one by one

>>713920206
>GaaS garbage
Just stop anon

>>713920206
>Exclusive update
This is what Snoys consider a flex

>>713920269
How can this be "banned", exactly?
They have no way of detecting conversion abuse on their platform. There are so many people with JP games on their systems now. You'd need to ban all of them because nobody has time to do a fucking credit check for Nintendo eShop purchases bought with JPY giftcards.

>>713866815

Why am I supposed to be mad again?

>>713920601

Nice falseflag. It doesn't matter what they see on the eShop, nobody in the west can upload funds natively to JPY, that's why we need to use Amazon for eShop vouchers, that's what this whole thing is about...

>>713913948
You're clearly a zoomer too, and a third-worlder at that.
The purpose of emulation has always been game preservation. It was never supposed to be about pirating games. Emulating games that are available in stores right now is peak third-worldism. Like the haitians wearing french coats after their revolution, you use things you don't understand, thinking that makes you smarter and not a reprehensible retard.

It's because they're going to catch wind of it because you FUCKERS keep being loud and proud about it, and then they'll make things harder on the average consumer and we have to sit there and listen to people rant endlessly about how "Nintendo sucks" because a bunch of pirates got too big for their britches. I've heard this song and dance routine OVER and OVER again for AGES now.

>>713918049
>8 more years of seething snoys

>>713921649
I didn't ask "why", I asked "how". There's yet to be a single explanation offered other than "They'll do a credit check", as if Nintendo have visibility into the accounts of fucking Amazon... completely nonsensical.
Bottom line is, this is an unenforceable problem from Nintendo's perspective.

There, how's that for enforcement?

>>713922020
Well did they?

>>713841647
3D World if you want something close to the Mario formula and Odyssey if you want to play a collectathon

>>713922020
Anon, you can't just BLOCK access lmao, we live in the age of accessible VPNs. This won't stop anyone who would be in this thread in any tangible way. Also if they block it wholesale they lose millions (not hyperbole) longterm instead of making a little less money from 1% of the eShop userbase.

>>713922020
Are you fucking stupid

Well Odyssey is fun and 3D world isn't, if that helps.

>>713922594
Impossible. That screenshot is from a ps5.

>>713922516
>6 dollars off amazon
how?

>>713919607
Fast Fusion is probably better than RMX in terms of core gameplay, but has much less content.
The latest update adds a new cup and the ability to disable the shitty upscaling, both of which I like a lot.

>>713922613
33ms would fit 30 frames in a second without excessive ghosting

I wish Palworld didn't partner with Sony because I want to play Palworld on Switch 2 with mouse mode.

I don't know. All I have is the Brawler 64 NSO edition. Which has same latency as the Pro Controller in both modes.

>>713932409
I don't like it and I find it a little boring, but I was gifted cyberpunk with my switch. Does it ever get better? The beginning really bored me. I wanted a game not an "interactive" movie.

reminder to turn on airplane mode if you don't use the online features and stick to single player stuff
there's a filmware bug that not only makes you battery drain like crazy when the device is asleep (also a problem on the switch 1) if your device is connected to the internet
you can also do the same fix by disconnecting from internet wifi entirely which allows you to still use tabletop mode with detached joycons and BT headphones, but for whatever reason whenever you want to connect back you will have to input the router password every single time which is a hassle

>>713936752
You can go to Airplane mode settings and enable bluetooth via options.

Well just wait like a month and it will be back in stock, refresh the page daily, frankly I would only buy the single console case, I don't travel much so I have no reason to take the whole thing outdoors.

>>713940580

Well at least cosmetically it probably doesn't register as the online controller for the special UI

Rune Factory [physical] (bought on pc as well)
Cyberpunk [physical] (had it on pc but never really touched it there)
Fast Fusion

Would have gotten bravely default but not bothering with game keycard shit.

Already have hitman and yakuza 0 on pc. Don't feel the need to double dip on these.
Got Raidou on pc.

Didn't buy kunitsugami on switch, but it's because of the switch 2 release that I looked more into that game and decided to get it on pc. So you could say the switch 2 marketing got me to buy it. Same for Nobunaga's Ambition but I haven't bought it yet, considering it though.

>>713948336
Never happened on the switch, but if my payment is denied then I normally get an automatic text or e-mail about it

>>713929276
I imagine Xenoblade patches are taking a while because they are particularly hard due to their extremely low based resolution, maybe they will update the game and actually include optimizations for the Switch 2 hardware to get the games to 60fps, technically the graphics in Mario Kart World are better but that was optimized around Switch 2.

please dont get banned and bricked and lose thousands of dollars

I'm enjoying mario kart world a lot but I'm still in absolute awe at the audacity to release a system with only one new game. They couldn't have moved DK up a month? Or pushed the switch back to at least have two games?

the reviews function is to warn people against buying defective products
obviously people who already bought the device plus some 100€ video game aren't in a rush to go "yeah I wasted 600€, nintendo tricked me, again. oh well guess ill kys"

Tons of people who bitch about the Switch 2 all day still had a Switch 2.
My point is, if it was actually that noticeable people would have been bitching about it far earlier.
They literally needed a test week later in order to start bitching.

You think it'll sell better than DxD?

>>713953083
people who own it don't notice any problems, and people who have never seen it irl are trying to correct them because they saw clickbait videos about it
it perfectly encapsulates modern outrages

>>713953451
your point is misunderstanding how discussions online work
People who are cautious wait for reviews before they buy products
They're not going to talk about a product they dont own and havent watched a review about, since they have nothing to say.
People who jump into buying a product without reviews are fanboys who have unquestioning trust towards the product maker.

the switch 3 requires wi-fi 8, it isn't out yet. you have to travel to the future again and get a new router. they're like 30 elondollars so not too bad.

Another million at least, DxD is very one note, you play the competitive multiplayer, you drop it after it gets old quickly, these serve as good experiments but should be released for free as part of the online service.

You think that's bad, I just realized I could redeem those silver Nintendo coins for physical merchandise but shipping to NZ is like $18, I don't want to pay $18 in just shipping for that Mario and Luigi pin set, and I can't figure out what else to buy.

They're already having trouble keeping up with demand as it is, they have no reason to blow their load at once

There's unironically no TOS breaking if your only account is a japanese one and you don't hop region constantly :^)

If you look up any jewtuber video about the matter you will see 3 types of videos.
>Niggers simply parroting the "sources" if not outright watching them and reacting to them.
>Faggots trying to be fancy, but simply parroting the "it's not LE TRUE HRD and worse than oled".
>Techniggers doing fake tests.
The first two ones are self explanatory, but the third one is more insidious.

Skip to 3:50.
Not only the nigger is comparing it to 144-520hz high end monitors (granted, most are 144-165hz), he's also comparing them with the switch 2 at 60hz.
How was this done you ask? By comparing the pixel movement through an ufo test video.
How did they do it on the switch 2 you ask if it has not been jailbroken and the official filmware has no internet browser? Through a youtube video, which downclocks the screen to 60hz to save battery (because no jewtube video goes over that anyway) like any game that doesn't use the full 120hz would.
The video even literally admits to the downclocking around 4:50 even, "Switch 2 60hz IPS LCD"

saints row the third + saints row IV bundle is $3 and runs at 60fps on the switch 2, buy it.

thanks for the heads up

There's a way to get to a browser on the switch 2. You gotta go to the internet settings.
