I would get one at launch but everywhere seems to be sold out.

 

[Magic Carpet]

A Steak Dinner for the entire family.

 

[CrustyBritches]

Getting 3 x Mario Kart bundle, 3 x Cameras, and a pro controller.

 

[tr1p1ex]

Whatever Ebay says I get.

Shitty launch compared to what exactly?

The only game I bought during the ps5 launch was demon souls (spiderman wasnt exactly my thing) and I skipped the xbox's launch altogether since it had absolutely nothing of value with halo infinite getting delayed by a full year.

I'm getting mario kart, the zelda upgrades and the gamecube NSO update. And within the window I plan on getting DK, metroid and pokemon legends ZA. If halo/gears/doom/oblivion make their way to the S2, I'll be getting them too.

 

[yogaflame]

Well if I get one on launch, then it will be Donkey kong. It looks so much fun.

 

[unfashionable]

TOTK upgraded, MK in bundle, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Super Mario RPG, Splatoon 3, Pro Controller and DK later if reviews are good

 

[Mozza]

Mario Kart
Cyberpunk
Fast Fusion
Hogwarts Upgrade
Civ upgrade
Yakuza
Bravely Default
Street fighter
Rune Factory
and lastly Kunitsu- Gami

Now that's a serious list. Even though I have the money I doubt I could spare the time.

 

[Mozza]

And the awesome new Switch2 pro controller as well. Plus I will get an extra dock to play the Switch on my JVC 4K projector.

 

[FingerBang]

To me Switch 2 will be a way to play many Switch games I didn't play in the last 3-4 years since I stopped using it completely.

Getting the MKWT bundle and pre-ordered DK Bananza (loved it)
Already got:
Zelda ToTK
Bayonetta 3 (hoping it will hold at 60fps even without a patch)

Games I got cause had a discount
Unicorn Overlord
SMTV

I'm a bit on the fence since we haven't heard about third party patches to unlock framerate/resolution, but I might buy more

 

[Vaquilla]

The first new Mario Kart in 11 years is enough to make it a good launch in my book. I'm one of those who bought MK8 in May 2014.

Throw in FAST Fusion, Cyberpunk, Kunitsu-gami, and Donkey Kong less than a month and a half later, and I'm keen as hell.

 

[Effigenius]

Shitty launch compared to what exactly?

yep. Every time a system launches people bitch that it's a bad launch. No system ever has a good launch lineup, they all have bad launch lineups somehow.

 

[Hudo]

Mario Kart World
Donkey Kong Bananza

And I will just try and see how my Switch 1 games profit or not profit from Switch 2.

 

[Power Pro]

I was gonna make a thread like this, but I was worried that hype for the Switch 2 wasn't there, or people were getting tired of talking about it. Regardless of some of the controversy and issues surrounding the release of the system, I'm still hyped. New hardware is still kinda like Christmas to me.

I've already got numerous preorders setup. At Best Buy on launch night, I'm picking up all this stuff:

I also have some preorders at Gamestop for Tears of the Kingdom, Rune Factory, Bravely Default, and Hitman. I know, I know...game key cards for some of them, but I think I've accepted that having a game key card is still better than pure digital.

 

[Ma-Yuan]

Only MK9 for my oldest.

 

[Dorfdad]

MK9
Hogwarts
and looking to get either cyberpunk or FF7 which i haven't heard much about but it was listed as a day 1 title but I haven't seen much about the switch version so I'm on the fence.
Than and some GameCube and Switch 1 remasters

 

[ahtlas7]

Getting the MK bundle
Preordered DK for 50€
I'll finish some Switch 1 games possibly upgraded.
But I hve a bad feeling about this console so I'm not going all in. I won't pay 80€ for games so the thing may go back into the box and into my personal museum as a collectors item.

 

[Dice]

Got the MKW bundle, pro 2 controller, case/screen protector, and DK Bananza peordered fully paid. Mario Kart should be great but I also want to see how several Switch 1 games run on it.

My hopes:
I haven't played Pokemon Violet DLC yet so the patch Nintendo announced should make that a better experience especially framerate.
-I also want to see how much it improves performance for Hyrule Warriors AoC. I'm pretty sure the framerate is unlocked even though it runs like crap?
-Hopefully they also patch Splatoon 3 because the framerate switching to 30 for the city is revolting.
-A resolution boost for XC3 would be fantastic as blurriness is basically the one flaw it has.
-I feel a whole "Switch 2 version" is warranted for Pikmin 4, add mouse controls and such.

Should be interesting to see what is done but these are the ones I really hope go well/happen at all.

After that, obviously I want Metroid Prime 4, it's the whole reason I got a Switch in the first place and now we're here. To be fair it has been a blast but… yeah.

 

[Glass Joe]

I've got the bundle so the main course is Mario Kart World. I'm also looking forward to revisiting F-Zero GX and maybe doing a Wind Waker playthrough on Gamecube.

The Breath and Tears upgrades will be free with my NSO package. I put Tears down mid-way through and might pick up where I left off (if I can figure out where I am in the game).

I'm also looking forward to the free upgrades (especially Link's Awakening, I'd bought that but the frame rate kept bothering me and hopefully that's addressed). Also curious to check out if certain Switch 1 games might perform better without patches -- I do have a backlog to get through! (Bayo 3?)

When things slow down, I already purchased Hogwarts on the Switch 1 sale since it was so cheap. I never played the game and will do the $10 upgrade. I'm also considering Street Fighter 6. I played a lot of SF4 but not 5 or 6. There's apparently a $40 version without the DLC and if so I'd likely try that first. Cyberpunk is on my radar but there's plenty to keep me busy for now.

Pending reviews, Maybe Fast Fusion. I like the developer and the game is cheap, but the lack of info is concerning.

PS5 had Demon's Souls and Spiderman, plus a bunch of new 3rd party titles dropping with it. One would have hoped Nintendo, who are more dependent than their own games, would have more than just Mario Kart.

 

[Moses85]

MK Bundle.

I will sell the DC for the Game and the boxed console will be stored savely on my shelf i wont touch it for a very long time I guess.

 

[existensmaximum]

Mario Kart
Donkey Kong
Tears of the Kingdom upgrade

 

[BlackTron]

I thought Donkey Kong was a launch game, and I don't know how I missed that. I was hoping my wife would give it to me "from the kids" for my birthday the next week.

DK comes out a week before my bday so the gaming gods were watching one of us. I gifted an extra NS2 preorder as a bday gift so I hope they hook me up with this one lol.

But yeah the launch itself is pretty much Mario Kart and old games.

I had stupidly thought Metroid and DK were launch games.

Yeah this was my first take but realized my presumption by next day. Kinda a let down not because I need Metroid in my veins asap but because I wonder how much the spread will impact what other titles hit this year. I had much higher aspirations before realizing all these games were not day one.

I would consider cancelling my pre-order but the console will probably only get more expensive.

Yes this is why we all decided to buy it now anyway, you have arrived haha
