I will eternally laugh at nintendies and copium huffing retards who still say that Japan hasn't fallen to the DEI mind virus
Between this, the 80$ games and all the other dumb Nintendo decisions, niggerpill bros are eating good so far!
 
I just successfully scalped the Switch 2 already. I got the very last one just by showing up tonight, no pre-order necessary.

I'm extra glad I scalped this shit now, I kinda wanted to keep it but fuck that. I wonder if the Japanese Switch has this bullshit. I pray it's NoA only but something tells me the virus has hit Japan hard by now, still not woke west degree but it's getting bad, like I knew it would.

I knew this was going to be the case the instant I heard the title theme back a month before release. If they would have actually fully committed to one off-the-wall singular story-ish experience that all the tracks and such help build, it would have actually been an interesting game but to be honest watching the tracks it looks 8 Deluxe, but watered down.

Now you have a 20 second cutscene when you start each grand prix instead of just going in like literally every game prior to this. Add onto that, you seemingly travel from one course to another within the racing, as in, part of a set of laps is literally driving to the next course and watching as it slowly changes into the actual new track itself. In the video that @Dysnomia linked above go to 10:57 and just watch the transition to DK Spaceport from the Whistletop Summit before that. I was just sitting there watching for a minute dumbfounded wondering what the actual fuck I was seeing, because it certainly wasn't DK and it certainly wasn't a spaceport. And even once you get fully there, it's not even in space! It's called DK Spaceport, where is the space?! Where is the kongs in astronaut suits or a banana-fied space station or SOMETHING???!!! You just put the arcade game in track form in some rain showers and you call that a SPACEPORT??????

The Desert Hills is for some reason a perfectly realisitc sand beige boring mess with barely any hills instead of what it used to be on the DS version, which apparently was bad even for that game, but I'll take that 100 times out of 100 over whatever boring slop World brings to the table.

Something else that annoys me, every character happy dances when you're selecting them. Every single one. It looks uncanny.
 
Just snagged my preorder. Huge line almost wrapped around the building. The location I pre-ordered from had at LEAST 100 extra units on hand for people without preorders. There was a VERY distinct lack of excitement/hype compared to the OG Switch though.

Edit - I just wanted to add that I made a little song in the AI Music thread to commemorate the launch of the Switch 2.

I read that Best Buy in the US was giving out some kind of coin to people that pre-ordered. Were Walmart, Target, and Gamestop giving anything extra to people that pre-ordered?
 
Just a reminder to people steam deck base model is 50$ cheaper, will run basically anything, can connect whatever USB crap you want, and already comes with a library if you have a steam account.

Can't believe some people know of both and are on the fence about the switch 2 vs steam deck. I guess if you are a nintendo fan sure, but for JUST a handheld device?

BestBuy bestowing their greatest honor (a chinky pig iron coin with mario sucking himself on it) to a 39 year old autistic man to display on his mantle in his shitty inner-city studio apartment:

Now he'll forever have a conversation piece that easily facilitates him going into a 40 minute story about his geriatric dad driving him to BestBuy at midnight, seeing the medallion, and calling it "kind of cool, i guess". This is the start of generational wealth.

The steam deck probably will be able to emulate switch 2 when it cracks as well.
I'm pretty sure you can already emulate the switch on it.

I for one think the shortages are fake and gay.
What material shortage is there right now that justifies there not being enough to manufacture and stock?
Absolutely none.

That’s part of it, but a large part is the Nips were gung ho about getting as many units into the states as quickly as fucking possible due to the tariffs. Thank Trump for striking the feet of god into the Nips to prevent insane shortages because they just wouldn’t have given a fuck otherwise.

In fact, shortages of their product and mass scalping is probably something they like to see so there is a longer duration of FOMO, panic buying, and hype around their shit console.
 
Man, I wish the Switch 2 success, but Nintendo has a bad habit of going from monster success to an immediate fumble, largely due to arrogance and greed. The Switch is the best console they've had in decades due to the enormous range of games they had, from new games, to classics and remasters, to incredible 3rd party support even when the Switch versions weren't as good as the other consoles. All because the hybrid console/handheld idea was lightning in a bottle.

I really hope they don't fuck this up, I really like the hybrid idea and it works very well for them. Right now I just don't really want one though.
