Wait until you see the day 1 sales of the console to make your conclusionReleasing a new console with only 1 new first party game at launch is bad. End of story.
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
Not just those either, keep going back and nearly every launch should be considered bad. The ps3 launch was abysmal.You DO remember what the PS5 and Series launches were like, right?
I wouldn't skip BotW, but I also wouldn't play them back to back. BotW has some quirks, but it's certainly worth experiencing.Shall i play BOTW or can i go straight to TOTK since they're (mostly) the same thing?
PS : these Nintendo game prices man...i want to get all the stuff that I missed like Bayonetta 2 and 3, Astral chain, Hyrule age of calamity etc but...they go for 60€ new or 40-45 used, lmao, welcome to Nintendo i guess...
Only Mario Odyssey can be found for cheap-ish (30-35 used).

Is a master piece if you like 3D platforms games.Thanks Zann.
Mario Odyssey worth it btw ?
I think I'm gonna grab a Zelda, Mario Odyssey and a couple of indies (Slave zero x, Blasphemous 2 etc) for the portability alone.
I thought of getting the Pro controller but that's another 90 and I'll first try and see if this switch "experience" is for me not, if I jive with it, I'll grab the Pro and a couple of other games.
Talking about games...man, the art in Astral chain looks amazing, shame then that the framerate is shit with constant dips to the mid and lower 20's, what I wouldn't give for a switch 2 patch (same with hyrule warriors).
Am I wrong for buying two and selling one for twice the price so I can have a Switch 2 for free?
It really depends on your tastes.Thanks Zann.

No. Take advantage of the desperate.
What do I care about first day sales? I don't get a cut from Nintendo for each unit sold?Wait until you see the day 1 sales of the console to make your conclusion
(And the MKW sales)
Not just those either, keep going back and nearly every launch should be considered bad. The ps3 launch was abysmal.
Switch 2 launching with mario kart world is far beyond anything the others launched with, except maybe Halo combat evolved.
But you are saying that the launch games are bad… They don't suppose to sell well then. Bad for you=/=Bad for everybody.What do I care about first day sales? I don't get a cut from Nintendo for each unit sold?
My dude is actually trying to cite sales numbers as if it's relevant to discussion. If the switch 2 released with no Mario or donkey kong, it'd still sell out. Everyone has been waiting for Switch 2 for a long time.
Anyone lucky enough to get a 1TB microSD Express card? Best I could find was 512GB.

No, just patiently saving the money he's had for birthdays and Xmas for a while. I made the mistake of telling him a Switch 2 would be coming a couple of years ago and he's not stopped talking about it sinceHas he been out cleaning chimneys?
I beat BOTW and TOTK 100% and I think BOTW is a much more cohesive and grounded experience. TOTK is definitely worth a playthrough, but I'd recommend a good long break after finishing BOTW.Shall i play BOTW or can i go straight to TOTK since they're (mostly) the same thing?

It's not..... and I don't remember any Nintendo launch with lots of first party Nintendo releases. There is always one main game.Releasing a new console with only 1 new first party game at launch is bad. End of story.
I'll offer a contrary view and say that I played 100+ hours of both games on launch, with no replays of BOTW in between, and I'd say that TOTK makes BOTW feel like a beta.Shall i play BOTW or can i go straight to TOTK since they're (mostly) the same thing?

TOTK is the perfect Zelda game, and retrospectively makes BOTW a 9/10 by default.
I don't want to spoil anything, but I felt fatigue with the visual representation of BOTW's shrines and 'dungeons'. TOTK, no such issue and that was massive for me.
I played both Zeldas but can't stand 30 fps for too long, I mean, the games are great but can't pass too long after beating last boss, same for Xenoblade 3 and Kirby ATFL, really the Switch 1 upgrades are the most appealing features for me, until next big game I care about (yeah, MKW and DKB aren't making it for me so far)For those that have not played it, it will obviously be the definitive experience and be amazing.
The DS, one of nintendo's biggest systems, launched with just SM64DS as its flagship firsty party title.It's not..... and I don't remember any Nintendo launch with lots of first party Nintendo releases. There is always one amin game.
Releasing a new console that I do not want to buy, with only one new first party game that I do not personally like is bad end of story.Releasing a new console with only 1 new first party game at launch is bad. End of story.

Get one.... Not even the latest gorilla glass is scratch proofAre you all buying screen protectors? I'm not familiar with what kind of material the screen is made out of
My switch 1 had it but idk if it was even necessary
Does it matter which brand? It seems like there are 1 million options on Amazon.Get one.... Not even the latest gorilla glass is scratch proof
You have my support in order to take it back!
Definitely. It's a must-have. I usually go for amFilm tempered glass, but anything is better than nothing.Are you all buying screen protectors? I'm not familiar with what kind of material the screen is made out of

Thanks dude just ordered from the top link you sharedDefinitely. It's a must-have. I usually go for amFilm tempered glass, but anything is better than nothing.
I ordered this for mine for $9...
and these for my boys' units for $5.40...
Never tried this type with the pre-mounted protector. Usually I go for the type with the alignment frame.
I dont take my Switch outside my house so I dont I'm gonna need screen protector.Definitely. It's a must-have. I usually go for amFilm tempered glass, but anything is better than nothing.
I've used amFilm for years for 2DSXL, Switch Lite, OLED, and Steam Deck. They have great clarity and maintain solid touchscreen response.Thanks dude just ordered from the top link you shared
I really like that it has something that helps you align it because that's always such a pain in the ass
I do it no matter what. Lots of weird scenarios you could pick up a scratch or nick(cats, falling asleep and dropping it, cases with accessories). But yeah, I take my system on the road in cases all the time. If you have kids using it there's no question it should have it.I dont take my Switch outside my house so I dont I'm gonna need screen protector.
Does it matter which brand? It seems like there are 1 million options on Amazon.
Yep. I went with iVoler for my son's regular Switch. They can use them on their Switch 2s.Man, just get the cheapest one, in the end, it's mostly as to not fook up the screen by having it touch the dock (remember the switch 1 ? fun times) and general, day to day mucroscratches.
As an example, on both my OP Nord and Galaxy S24Ultra I've always used normal, cheap tempered glass protectors and all of them did their job when they had to (never cracked my phones' screens), those 30-50-70 Eurodollars screen protectors are usually a scam.
Now, some of them (those that cost just a little bit more) are usually better since they cover the screen better/fully compared to the cheaper ones where there's usually some gaps and leave then screen unprotected by a couple of millimeters on all sides.
ESR makes good and cheap products and iVoler too.
Tempered glass is one the cheapest, safest and better investment that one can do when it comes to...everything that has a screen basically![]()
BOTW and TOTK offer very different experience imo, the fact that TOTK gives you more tools to traverse is what makes traversing way less of an experience compared to BOTW, and that was basically BOTW creamShall i play BOTW or can i go straight to TOTK since they're (mostly) the same thing?

Who in the fuck cares? It fucking box you either gonna put away or throw it out.
This pettiest shit to complain about.
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.
