Curious to see what they do with the “mouse” function, as well as how well the new Joycon attachment system works (as well as if they have Hall Effect sensors…)
Doubt they’ll have hall effect sensors. That would fix a problem that makes Nintendo money. Can’t have that.
Not really making them money when they’re willing to repair it for free - honestly surprised they didn’t just silently upgrade them to Hall Effect to stem the tide of repair requests
In that case, I was wrong. I agree that they should have upgraded then.
Okay. Can you stop big-dicking people who legally develop emulators into poverty now?
Best we can do is Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble! remaster for $70.
Nope. They’re going to triple down on this especially after it releases to ensure no development will occur on any end
And what are we supposed to do with our Switch now? I know it’s been out for a while, but my growing resentment for the linear economy is giving me huge console generation cycle fatigue.
Usually, when it comes to these kinds of upgrades, I either do one of two things. If the two consoles can play together, I usually will keep the second. With Nintendo consoles, I will keep one and sit on it (usually until the next generation) and then mod it.
Or alternatively I’ll once in a blue moon, sell it to someone else for a fair price. It can help offset the cost of the new thing, and you know that your old device is still going to get used by someone else who can appreciate it.
Keep using it. You don’t need the 2 unless you have a desperate need for a Switch 2 exclusive (or maybe want to run some of the games that the OG Switch couldn’t really handle so great).
With my PC-based gaming offerings, I probably won’t even be tempted until they announce a Switch 2 OLED or whatever.
As disappointed as I am with the name Switch 2 being so plain and ordinary versus their previous sequel consoles (Super NES, Gameboy Advance, Wii U); with the console being so similar to the Switch (1), I think they’d have another Wii U situation on their hands if they did have a more clever name.
If someone told me this was a mid-cycle refresh, I’d probably believe them; but maybe the official launch reveals will change my mind…
I saw a YT comment that said “I feel like this is like peeking at your presents before Christmas then pretending to be surprised on Christmas day” and that’s where I’m at. Basically all rumors confirmed, in the best way. Looking forward to those magnetic joycons 🙏
What exactly was it you expected?
I interpreted the meme as sarcastic vindication not genuine surprise.
Gotta be honest, I don’t get that either.
I assume the purpose of the mouse function is to revive Mario Paint and Gnat Attack. What other use could it have?!
Mario Maker? A lot of folks thought the Switch was a step down from the Wii U for MM.
Damn that’s a game I haven’t thought of in a long time. And I forgot that the SNES had a mouse! at all I even remember that hard plastic mouse pad it came with.
Remote control tech support, of course. Allows primary schoolers to gain some practical job experience and contribute to the family income.
When they show MK8 on a third console
According to the website it can play switch 1 and 2 games and they’re doing a direct on April 2
That didn’t look like mk8 though? The character style looked different, Mario looked more like Wonder than Odyssey. His cart was proportioned taller and skinnier than mk8 carts. The race track isn’t one seen in mk8 either
it was definitely a new Mario Kart. DK’s design was hella different.
Ah I was going off other replies I’d seen, I’d love to be wrong! I’ve been playing 8 since I was a freshman in college
Are we sure this is MK8 and not some MK9?
It’s definitely MK9. Art style is noticably different.
No!
Half Life 3 on Switch 2 lets go!
Crowbar attachment joycon?
