How much for the upgrade if you already own the physical copy?

$10. $0 if you have an NSO Expansion Pack membership.

How long did it take the Switch 1 to start getting different colored joycons?

I think the first ones were the yellow Arms joy-cons in June 2017, though I'm not positive. It's possible there could have been special colors released for MK8D or BotW, though, if so, I have zero memory of them.

$10, same for BotW

Edit: beaten like the high score on a pizza shop arcade machine

 

[Arsic]

When these become available again to buy I hope the Xeno games get the 60 fps boost.

The moment it happens I'll buy one if possible.

Launch titles are solid IMO. Mario kart and 60fps ToTK would've been my go to for starters.

Still sad I may miss out on Metroid prime 4 at launch though. That's THE title I want to play.

New Nintendo hardware. Always exciting.

 

[FalconPunch]

Maybe focus on a different thread or site then? Since you like whining so much, you might fit in really well over here.

Accuses me of whining, points me towards reset era while whining as much as reset era. If you want a safe space, go over there so you can feel protected lmao.

... 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?

Don't act surprised, they've been doing that for decades.
They're called evergreen titles

 

[Kilau]

have you seen the PS5 box

Have you seen the Xbox

 

[blacktout]

Don't act surprised, they've been doing that for decades.

Evergreen titles are kind of the opposite of buying a game you don't want to save $30 though, since you buy them for full price even though they're like a fucking decade old because you want to play them.

It's a bit crazy that Nintendo didn't have a better lineup considering how they've probably been pushing the release of NS2 forward quite a bit. I'd have expected to already have heard news about the next Zelda and the release date for the next mainline Mario.

All that time wasted developing the next Smash and finding new remixes for the 800 music tracks, that takes time, man!

Well, it's a good thing they're spacing out their schedule. And we tend to underestimate Mario Kart. They admit to having struggled to find a direction for the title.

On the other hand, I'd criticize them for not giving a damn about players when it comes to licenses that have been abandoned... for example, Star Fox and others.

You're going to tell me it's not selling, blah blah blah, for all that they took the piss out of us at E3 2014 and 2015.

Let's hope we get some more free updates in June. I particularly want the Xenoblade games, SMT 5: Vengeance, and DQ3 HD2D.

I hope we can get this bee demo as either a paid version or included to show off the NS2's strengths in audio and graphics:

 

[CrustyBritches]

Nice job putting that together quickly, cormack12 !

The main reason to get a Switch 2 at launch is Mario Kart World. Also, the enhanced version of BotW and TotK. That's pretty much what we'll be playing until DK Bonanza releases.

We're getting 3 x Switch 2s, 3 x cameras, and a pro controller. We already have a couple of the Switch 1 PDP Glow Star controllers we'll use. My nephew is getting a Switch 2 and camera. This way we can all play MKW together with video chat.

You can just leave the thread dude, it's ok. You hate Nintendo and the product, thanks for coming out.

I'm actually looking forward to trying some of those other Switch 2 updates for Switch 1 games. I was thinking about playing more Pokemon Violet recently, because I still haven't done the DLC, and if it runs and looks better, that'll be awesome.

Even games without Switch 2 updates, I'm curious to see if any unlocked framerate games, or dynamic resolution games run and/or look better.

Not this time. With great power comes great responsibility.

What a glorious OT for the Nintendo Switch 2 cormack12 ! Thank you, it's leaving me feeling frisky



There was a long, long time in getting to this point with the Switch 2 and it's imminent release.

 

[ItsGreat]

The prices for games and peripherals are way too high. I'm not gonna buy it. Nintendo can fuck off!

This is a massive thread that's going to be around for a long time. You're going to live in infamy.

Especially in 8 years or so.

I think it's $10, but I have NSO and it's free with that.

Quite worried about BC. I will have to make thorough tests of all my games before I sell my Switch OLED.

It would be nice if the Switch 2 had access to DSR or DLDSR. It is a Nvidia GPU. I'm stuck playing on a 1080p TV while I travel for work.

 

[Dacvak]

I just realized this is the first new Nintendo hardware since the GameCube that I haven't gotten to try out before its release. How will I know if it's dogshit or not??

Hatters?

What if they don't let you transfer games back to the Switch 1?

Plus on the long term Nintendo hardware only goes up anyway

Am I wrong for buying two and selling one for twice the price so I can have a Switch 2 for free?

 

[Abysse]

 

[Mozza]

Awesome OP and long overdue. I have my pre order and can't wait until next Thursday. I have ordered the base console, Switch 2 pro controller, Mario Kart World and Cyberpunk. I am guessing this thread will bring out the usual suspects who just can't let people simply look forward to a new console launch, The Switch 2 will be awesome and will break console sales records. But still the salt will flow on here.

Ten times the power in relation to the original Switch. You are seriously not dumb enough to be comparing it to a PS5/Pro or Series X are you??

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.

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.

I think you are confusing the words objectively and subjectively. And not sure you understand the concept of everybody not liking all the same things.

 

[blacktout]

What if they don't let you transfer games back to the Switch 1?

We already know you can freely swap digital games back and forth between a Switch 1 and a Switch 2 using the new virtual game card feature.

Releasing a new console with only 1 new first party game at launch is bad. End of story.

 

[cireza]

Probably going to try the games before transferring anything. My collection is largely physical.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

Am I wrong for buying two and selling one for twice the price so I can have a Switch 2 for free?

where do you live? Here in Los Angeles you can buy it from a scalper for $650-700 depending on whether it's the bundle

After tax you're looking at less than $200 profit

I ended up canceling a second pre order because it didn't even seem worth the hassle and I'd rather someone else have a chance to buy it

Edit: mine was $552 with tax so I'd make $148 if I did local pick up and even less if I had to ship

 

[Kataploom]

Wild that Nintendo has a whole 2 GAMES at launch, one being a glorified instruction manual

Also no, I will not count 2 zelda games that has a patch in it as a new game.

Say whatever but upgraded Zelda and Switch 1 games are my main reason to get the console in the short term, I haven't played some of them and others like Zelda BOTW and TOTK I didn't want to play past some point due to 30 fps, so I'm very happy that Nintendo is focusing a lot on this BC upgrade program

For those that have not played it, it will obviously be the definitive experience and be amazing.
