Nintendo Switch: Nintendo's Next Hardware - SOURCE ALL NEWS/RUMORS

[Pokemon Power]

How is anything above off-topic when we're all discussing the decisions regarding the Switch 2's tariff issues and how stupid they are to everyone affected by them.

I just don't want it to go from "Which Switch 1 games should get Switch 2 Editions?" to "Are Switch 2 Editions worth it?".
On another note, the next batch of SEGA Genesis games for Switch Online have been announced.

...That's oddly specific and shouldn't even bother you.

...That's oddly specific and shouldn't even bother you.

You don't say.

 

[AuraChannelerChris]

You don't say.

Besides, we all know my peeps at Sonic Frontiers should get a Switch 2 edition, which will totally be worth it.

My guess is that super popular Switch games will get a Switch 2 enhancement unless there is no actual need because there’s a sequel already out like Splatoon 2 being cast aside by the fan base for Splatoon 3 or is already an enhanced port or remake. Gen 8 Pokémon and the Let’s Go games won’t get any Switch 2 treatments because they aren’t the most current Gen, Smash Bros Ultimate is pretty much complete now and only has special events still happening, the Xenoblade games are all ports, and FE is still a somewhat niche series.

You know Nintendo messed up, when a former President speaks up.

I'm not on Twitter, so can someone fill me in?

I think this is about the $10 Switch 2 "tech demo".

Well, you never know. Remember how long it took for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to get DLC after launch?

Yep and Wii Sports and how Reggie convince Nintendo to make it a pack in with the Wii U.

The Wii*.

Even so, this is one game we are talking about that's not on everybody's radar anyway.

 

[BCVM22]

The Switch 2 will launch at its original $449.99 price point in North America and the delayed pre-orders will begin on April 24.

Switch 2 peripherals, however, will see a price increase of $5 to $10 from their original announced prices.

Wooooooo!

I'm not bothering to buy peripherals yet so I'll just wait on deals for them.

 

[Pokemon Power]

So at launch, I'm gonna get the Mario Kart World bundle, an extra pair of Joy-Con 2, and the carrying case with screen protector.

 

[Auraninja]

I basically want to nab a Switch 2, Mario Kart World (phyiscal), and an appropriately sized memory card (512 GB or 1 TB).

 

[AuraChannelerChris]

The memory card bit eeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhh I'll just wait on that on a good deal later in the year. I don't really think I'll be hitting the current cap, less so when I already have a bunch of games which will get upgrades.

I don't blame ya. It was off putting.

 

[PrinceOfFacade]

I really wish Nintendo would make a quick presentation clarifying game prices, because I am so tired of everyone claiming that all the games are $80, when only one game is.

I honestly don't know why Nintendo didn't make that clarification to begin with.

About that. I've been looking online for microSD Express cards, and the biggest size I could find is 256GB.
EDIT:

Ah, I remember the 3DS Ambassador Program, that was how I got to first play this game.

I typically make preorders if there’s a game that I want as soon as it comes out and the ones that I want to play eventually, I buy them either used or when they go on sale.

 

[AuraChannelerChris]

Secured my Switch 2 preorder through Walmart! I do wonder if they'll actually deliver it to my home at 9am.
