What store?Awesome OT. Site is slow as shit tho. Just got my confirmation from the store this morning that my MK bundle is ready to go on launch day, i gave up a few days ago so this was a nice surprise.
What store?
I'm just wondering because I'm starting to get anxious now. I preordered the switch 2 at Best Buy, and even cancelled a Walmart order because Best Buy was going to have store pick up and midnight release. My store was in the list of locations having a midnight release. Now I keep reading Reddit posts saying that stores on the list have employees still saying they're not doing a midnight. Ugghh
People really are spoiled these days. Forgetting when at the N64, you know what the launch lineup was? Super Mario 64, and Pilotwings.Launch lineup is terrible. Mainly old games which is a shame.

People always talk about needing so many games to justify a system's purchase, but for me, all it takes is one good game really. Mario Kart, and DK already look like pretty good games to me. The better performing Switch 1 games like Metroid Prime 4, and Pokemon Z-A are just gravy too.

Switch launched with a Zelda hand-me-down. Switch 2's launching with a brand new Mario Kart. Terrible?Launch lineup is terrible. Mainly old games which is a shame.
If it's true that the Mario Odyssey team have worked on DK Bananza, I'm not so sure about that.I'm gonna wager that the next mainline Mario game will be announced in the next big Nintendo presentation and will arrive within a year from the announcement.

It's objectively terrible. You can excuse Nintendo all you want but it's a rubbish launch line up. I preordered the Mario kart bundle and I don't necessarily want Mario kart because this version looks inferior. Plus something about the art style makes it look like a mobile game from gameloft. However, since you can get it "cheaper" via the bundle, it's a no brainer.![]()
Great OT BtW…

Like I said, mainly old games and DK looks boring as hell. We'll see if it was as boring and pointless as Super Mario Odyssey. The first good game might be Metroid or Fast Fusion so we'll see how those turns out.
Hey now! Hungarian is part of the Uralic languages so you'll bever be irrelevant in any way. As an agglutination-brother we must keep eachother up!Im from Hungary so its probably irrelevant for you![]()
I think it would be a weird bet from Nintendo to go so hard on Donkey Kong when it's Mario who's their main character, especially now at release. I think they've collaborated with other teams and have been able to develop DK and Mario games simultaneously. I might be completely off in my speculation, but I still believe it.If it's true that the Mario Odyssey team have worked on DK Bananza, I'm not so sure about that.
Not really, I'd tell you to buy an ally x or maybe the upcoming legion 2? Launch lineup still trash tho…Tanslation:

Yea, because the console only bundle was "sold out" during preorders. So instead of paying $629.99, we instead got the privilege of paying $699.99.... Wait, did Nintendo just get you to spend $50 extra on the console in order to save $30 on a game you don't even want?
So you paid 700 bucks to get a console on day 1 that has no games you want to play?Yea, because the console only bundle was "sold out" during preorders. So instead of paying $629.99, we instead got the privilege of paying $699.99.
Honestly, the closer we get to launch, the harder it is for me to be excited by this thing. Well, when I eventually receive my unit from Best Buy, if I don't like it, I'll just try and flip it for more.
Your kid having fun right away without all the stupid patching, downloading and stuff is the right way to go. I'd try to make sure the thing looks unopened, though.I have a dilemma. I am getting a Switch for my kid, well for the family, but it will be one of hist birthday (a week after launch) presents. The dilemma is do I keep it sealed so he gets to unbox it or do I open it up, install the screen protector, boot it up add the account, install Mario Kart and the Zelda update and NSO so it is turnkey and then have to spend time doing this after he opens it? He will be 9.
I'm leaning towards doing the install so people can play it ASAP and I am not stressing out with some setup bullshit.
I'm mainly interested to see how badly cyberpunk runs in handheld mode. Docked mode was running pretty badly.So you paid 700 bucks to get a console on day 1 that has no games you want to play?
Or you can just not ever get it? never understand why someone feels they have to buy something they don't want.I'm mainly interested to see how badly cyberpunk runs in handheld mode. Docked mode was running pretty badly.
Also, for those who understand, the cheapest time to buy a console in this new era is at launch. At least in Canada. PS4 increased in price shortly after launch. Ps5 increased in price after launch. Xbox increased in price after launch. If you think you might want the console in the next 2 years, just buy it at launch.
What if they bombshell us with an Ocarina of Time announcement?I'm gonna wager that the next mainline Mario game will be announced in the next big Nintendo presentation and will arrive within a year from the announcement.
