Nintendo Switch 2 (WIP) - For the Soytendo consoomers to speculate about the successor to the Switch, recently announced for 2025.

Despite what people endlessly repeat, Nintendo‘s main problem is not, and has never been, greed.
That was my point. I’m saying they weren’t greedy and actually doing a lot of what people want feels more consumer unfriendly when you get down to it. Because people want stuff that makes things more expensive.
 
Regardless, saying that China doesn't make good rare earth magnets is denying reality. This happens to be one of the few things they actually excel at.
I didn't say that, I was pointing how the soyjack wasn't even testing the magnets properly. Not sure how he even missed that considering Nintendo made the latches even bigger than before.
Are all the old games gonna be available and playable on the Switch 2...or I still am going to have to use ROMS?
Nope. It's an emulation/transcoding layer. Compatibility isn't 100%, and frankly based on the graphs Nintendo put up ("It passes basic compatibility checks." ????), you probably shouldn't sell your Switch 1 if you own one on the basis of the Switch 2 running the older games.

Basically, Nintendo has a really massive ego, and it’s only been made worse by the Switch’s massive success and Sony/Microsoft’s overwhelming stupidity.
Agreed, the Nintendo Japs smell blood in the water and they got arrogant and assumed people will just shut up and pay $80 for games (which to be fair a lot of people will do anyway despite the complaining)
 
They didn't so much build a reputation but get absolutely massive amount of journo dick sucking, never seen before in the history of gaming.
This single statement is more retarded than what the entire combined contents of some 1000+ page threads have here. My hat is off to you if this was bait, for it was masterfully crafted, if you're serious however, do the gene pool a favor and don't breed.

lol hurt your feelings? You need to be a raging Nintendo autist to think that the gaming media treats Nintendo the same way as it does other companies like EA and Ubisoft (remember the Twilight Princess 8.6 score controversy? Or lack of any reporting on them being IP whores), or that Nintendo even deserves to have a reputation after releasing the same games, only worse, for the last decade. Somehow Ubisoft doing the same gets them laughed at, only with Nintendo we get faggots like you

agreed, I think the $80 price tag is retarded but this whole movement on twitter is fucking retarded, bitching like a fucking 6 year old over it is going to do nothing, nothing can change Nintendo's mind on this, you just come off annoying at some point

Nintendo are going to sell a billion of these things to people and one of them will be you and then you will lie about it for a while until you forget and I will be nice and won't call you out because I would rather play video games.

@whatever I feel like will definitely call you out, though.

:story:
 
Fixed

I will stand by 64, Melee and Brawl all being their own thing even if they built upon each other in many ways. The series really didn't stagnate till Wii U and 3DS, where they started stripping the series down to the bare essentials of big roster and stage count.
64 feels unique enough, but Brawl feels like a Melee mod. In fact, didn't modders basically revert it back to Melee's physics and remove the tripping bullshit? I stand by them all being pretty iterative, basically big updates with a few new features.

I really liked Galaxy, but Odyssey brings out stars like candy (when it doesn't allow you to buy them) and there are very few good stages (and I remember a lot of them ending prematurely). I think the only good one was the NY shit, and it was a huge auto fellation.

I played it a bit but got bored pretty quickly. It just feels like slop that the devs throw shit for you to feel like you had accomplishments.
Odyssey does oversaturate itself with moons, hopefully that's addressed in a sequel, but it's still great. The beach was the best level imo.

Complaining is good, and you can't say it won't do anything because it did with 3DS. Some people can be annoying about it but voicing your opinion about shitty pricing is good.

I'm more concerned about the pathetic launch lineup, personally. Maybe they're saving the big hitters for Christmas, who knows.

in some regards if it causes enough of a PR disaster it can, like EA with the whole Battlefront II fiasco, Id imagine Nintendo is still persistant though

agreed, I like Mario Kart and Donkey Kong, and the new metroid looks good as well but what most people are honestly waiting for is a new 3d mario and zelda

Looks like the price of the Switch 2 will remain 449.99.

Retail pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 will begin on April 24, 2025. At launch, the price for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will remain as announced on April 2 at $449.99, and the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle will remain as announced at $499.99. Pricing for both physical and digital versions of Mario Kart World ($79.99) and Donkey Kong Bananza ($69.99) will also remain unchanged at launch.
However it looks like the accessories like extra joycons are going up in price because of "market conditions".

However, Nintendo Switch 2 accessories will experience price adjustments from those announced on April 2 due to changes in market conditions. Other adjustments to the price of any Nintendo product are also possible in the future depending on market conditions.
 
im using my Switch 1 pro controller because fuck paying extra just for "2" branding and a gamechat button i wont use

I don't play video games with other people so adding this is absolutely useless to me, also other platforms have had this for like 15 years at least at this point, I think this feature is entirely directed at Teenagers who have friends

Nintendo is out of their damned minds. I decided not to buy the Switch 2 unless the prices dropped. At this rate, I'm rapidly hitting the threshold of refusing, even if there was a price drop, entirely out of principle same as when Xbox revealed their 'always online' Xbox Ones. I think I'm going to be buying those new Fantasy Life and Everybody's Golf games on Steam instead of the Switch 1 now...
