Y'all, I have this preordered but am I the only one who's disappointed by the Pin Set? I thought this was gonna be an art book or something with art work and photos of the Nintendo World Championship stuff lol. I'm gonna keep the preorder cause I want the physical copy but damn, I really feel like the US/NA regions got the inferior version of the Deluxe Set

As much as I love Sony and Microsoft's constant chase of making the best tech possible and making the best looking games with all the bells and whistles possible, I feel like I've lost the joy I used to have playing their games. Whether it's recent Xbox games or Playstation games, I've realized that I just don't get a real sense of enjoyment. Sometimes, I feel like I gotta force myself to find that same level of enjoyment that I get out of a Nintendo game. And, that's not to say that I don't like or respect Xbox or Playstation games, they're just not for me anymore and I'm okay with that. I can see the enjoyment folks get out of the other first party lineups, but for me and my interests, I align more with Nintendo games right now. Could things change? Possibly, but I've been a Nintendo kid my whole life so I doubt it.
For me, assuming Nintendo sticks the landing and makes the Switch 2 "the Switch but better build, better power, better battery, backwards compatbility and some fun gimmick like a camera" I'll be happy. It's all I really need despite a better online because I'd love to play some online games with more friends and all of you guys. At the end of the day, I just want to experience joy when I play video games and that's what Nintendo continuously does time and time again even if they make some odd decisions here or there that make us think "why the hell would they ever do that?!" lol

I'm all in on the Switch 2. For context, I grew up as a Nintendo & Sony kid and the PS4 was my main console but Nintendo has always been my go-to for gaming. Whether it was the GBC, GBA, GBA SP, Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSi, Nintendo 3DS, Gamecube or Wii, it never mattered for me until the Wii U which as we all know was kind of a disaster. What I learned the most about myself in this gaming generation was that unlike most people here, I don't care to take a performance hit on some games. I don't care to play the absolute best version of every game because I just want to have fun with my games and to me, that's what Nintendo does the best. Nintendo makes fun games. Nintendo makes games for everyone. What might get you hype tomorrow, for examples sake lets say something like WarioWare, won't necessarily make me hype and the same can be applied vice versa. Nintendo's focus has always been on the core idea that games should be fun and games should be for everyone.

Are we the same people? (look above to see my feelings)
Your username truly does checkout Moogle lmao
That's a great answer and I see myself a lot in it...like I just don't care about 8k, raytracing, 120 FPS, blah blah blah....to me a game like TotK looks damn good enough and is so insanely good that I'm not even noticing or worried about that because the game is engrossing. It's so true what you say.
Also BTW, I get being disappointed with the pin set but the NES cartridge with the old school NES sleeve (!!!) was enough for me alone lol...
The only thing I can't decide on is whether or not to go all physical or all digital for the next console.
I've gone digital for the Switch mainly because my postman is useless and it would upset me not getting games like TOTK or Mario delivered on the first day they come out, but I do find myself sometimes feeling jealous of my friends physical collections.

I just feel like yes, there's times where a Nintendo game does deserve the flack it gets because sometimes, there truly are ridiculous performance hits or frame drops. It happens. None of what I say is me trying to give Nintendo that immunity. It's just that, what I feel is special about Nintendo games is that they're okay with their games not being the best technical achievements in the world if it means the game is a blast to play. They are so dedicated to making fun games and making games for everyone that if it means a game has to look dated or have some technical issues here or there, they're willing to make that sacrifice and I respect that so much about them. It's not to say that they shouldn't try to go out there and achieve the best technical games possible but I feel like what they do best is working around that through their art styles. Luigi's Mansion 3 is a perfect example of that. That game looks like a damn Pixar movie! It's literally gorgeous! It wouldn't hit the same if it looked super hyper realistic, which to me is my least favorite video game art style. So, yeah, I'm with you on this.
Is it bad that I thought the NES Cartridge would actually be playable just to fill in the gap of not having the Famicom controllers releasing in US/NA? But yeah, it's still cool collectible!
It's Nintendo. You almost always have to go full physical if you care about long term physical preservation but I also get wanting to get a day one launch game digitally just for the sake of not needing to wait for it to get your home with the possibility of it being delayed. I will say, the more we see games get delisted or have small copies (i/e: Endless Ocean Luminous, Dragon Quest Monster: The Dark Prince), the happier I am that I ended up going physical for the Switch lol
What can I say, they got me
Same here, I still haven't figured out if I'm getting TTYD physical or getting a pair of vouchers. I love the extra shelf space of going digital, but it's not like Switch games have big cases anyway. But digital is more immediate... argh
I've been like 99.9% digital for the Switch, I think for S2 I'm gonna revert and go back to physical...at least for most stuff.
Game preservation is big, sharing with my daughter too, and I miss weird nostalgic dopamine hits like having a game in mind, going to a store and seeing it's actually in stock, taking it home and unwrapping it, etc. I don't know lol.

Can't think of better casting. Hope he gets it.
Yeah I'm leaning towards only buying a Switch 2 for this gen as I pretty much only play Switch games as of late (I have 80 games on Switch and only a dozen on PS4, I still don't have a PS5 either). Most of the games I have a taste in nowadays are on Nintendo platforms and with Switch 2 potentially having stronger third party support than the first Switch, I don't have much reason to get a PS5.
OP
OP
This is also a huge benefit to being physical only lol
This HAS to happen oh my god
So I see plenty of people who only owns a switch and are hardcore games. Don't listen to people who says it's only a complimentary console, 'cause the way I see is the other way around lol
I feel you, some days ago I made a similar post about thinking about selling the PS5 and staying only with Nintendo.
No one has the time to play every single game and Switch/Nintendo has the better library of exclusives and with the switch 2 they will get even better third party support
Unless the next playstation showcase really shows more than one game that is appealing to me like Nintendo is. The Switch 2 will be my only console.
Sony nowadays only wants blockbuster and their first party studios releases one game per generation basically.
Also they always focus on realism and the games feel the same, not saying their are bad because I played all of them but it's getting tiresome. I won't even talk about Microsoft lol
Nintendo always do something different, new or even nostalgic .
The handheld/hybrid form factor is also a huge plus.
So yeah, I'm on the same boat
OP
OP
Nintendo's gotten a lot of credit over the Switch generation but I think this deserves so much more recognition than it's gotten. The one Nintendo is absolutely amazing at is taking the things people love and giving it to them in new or old ways that appeals to them. They're constantly managing to bringing new life to their IPs/franchises and even when you think they might not do something, somehow they do. Does it take them awhile to fulfill that? Sure, absolutely. Nintendo really does love sitting on projects to release them when the time is right but no matter what, those long awaited hopes or dreams somehow get fulfilled. The only thing that sucks, really, is that some franchises have taken a clear backseat over the years due to obvious popularity but even then, they still do random ass ideas like Advance Wars 1+2 Remakes or Another Code Recollection. It just feels like they're willing to always take a risk on their franchises whether they have broad appeal or not.
Also, yeah, the handheld/hybrid form factor is a massive plus.
It's funny how many genres or even sub genres I'm not a fan of can be made appealing to me because it's Nintendo related lol...like I don't really play boxing or golf games but you give me Punch Out or Mario Golf, I'm there. Kart racers or racing games in general? Not the biggest fan....but damn do I LOVE Mario Kart. Haven't been a big time fighting game player in ages but Smash? Day one...
Just stuff like that.
There's more niche stuff that they haven't even touched yet that I think could be huge...I keep having this idea in my head of a CCG in the vein of Hearthstone but it's all Nintendo related and how big it could, things of that sort.
If this happens and no one sneaks in an It's Always Sunny reference then what are we even doing?
Danny Devito and Steve Buscemi as Wario and Waluigi
Let's get it done.
They have to have a scene with Luigi and Wario (Charlie Day and Danny Devito) referencing Sunny
OP
OP
Yeah I mean, it's pretty damn crazy how easily Nintendo can get us into genres just through the use of their creativity, imagination and lovable mascots. I've tried out more genres of video games during the Switch generation than ever before. That might sound ridiculous but unlike most publishers, Nintendo does such a good job at showing off games. The minute you see a trailer that isn't just a logo trailer (super rare case like MP4), you can tell whether a game is for you or not and if it is, you're walking away super excited or at the very least, very intrigued. It's what makes being a fan of Nintendo so much fun. They're marking stuff for us that we couldn't even imagine or think of.
Also, give me a Waluigi card game or something, I'd play it!
There has got to be a cameo from the other members of Its Always Sunny via koopas in the scene too, even if it's just a one liner or background noise where they can be noticeable. They gotta go the whole nine yards and commit to this bit if its possible. This is what we deserve out of the Nintendo Cinematic Universe.
I'm all in on the switch already as it's portable so I can play in hospital. If the switch 2 is still a handheld, then I'll be all in on it too, substituing for cheap laptop for other games of the sorts. I just have no use for a console that's attatched to a tv
I'm very excited for the Switch 2 and will use it to play any Nintendo exclusives that interest me, but I'll more than likely continue to play multiplatform titles on my XSX or PS5. If the performance of a game is equal across platforms, I'll play where I can grab a game the cheapest.
What I would give for this to happen. Any reference would do should they manage to get a moment like this.
OP
OP
One of my biggest wants for the Switch 2 are joycons with a better grip on them just so I can play handheld more. As much as I love playing my Switch handheld mode, I kind of get tired after awhile just because the Joycons don't really have much to hold onto. If the new Joycons can have some sort of groove or a little more depth so it's easier or more comfortable to play handheld, I'd be so happy
This makes a ton of sense, especially because a lot of games tend to go on sale quicker on other platformers than the Switch unless it's a rare occurrence like
I'm not even looking for the best stories ever written from the Nintendo movies. I just want a fuck ton of fan service, great visuals and fantastic soundtracks. The stories can be the most serviceable ones possible and I'll be happy. So a small moment like that in a Mario Movie 2 lets say would absolutely hit for someone like me lol
I can't wait. Traditionally I been a Sony first Nintendo gamer, but over the last 7/8 years with the Switch it's been the other way round. I really enjoy the hybrid nature of the console even if I do play 90% in handheld. The games have been great too, a lot to variety and fun experiences and I rediscovered by love for JRPGS.
Generally I been dissapointed with this gen (next gen) Games have been ok, but nothing has really wowed me. GT7 in VR is incredible and Returnal was ace, Resi games great as usual but everything else as been middling. There have been times I thought about selling the ps5 and being a switch only gamer but I do get use out of it - and with assassins creed (which I think peeps are too hard on) and the likes of FF it probably mean I will get a next gen console at some point but it won't be a day one thing anymore. Perhaps with the realisation of games being too expensive to make we might see a shift and the likes of ff etc may be aimed at switch/hybrid gamers.
OP
OP
So, I finally think I fixed the image problems I was having with the OP for this OT y'all. That should no longer be a problem. Also, I had the NDCube new Mario Party game rumor from Midori into the OP as well with a link to the ongoing thread (in case anyone missed out)
I'm kind of in the same boat with you. I've realized that honestly, if my friends weren't on PS5 and if there weren't a few third party franchises I truly do like or enjoy, I probably wouldn't own a next-gen console. I've grown so accustomed to the Nintendo franchises and being able to take a hit here or there power-wise that I don't fully think I'd feel like I'd be missing out on stuff. Still, having a PS5 to enjoy some games like the new Star Wars stuff, Kingdom Hearts (whenever that returns lol) and some other franchises is always worth it. I just hope the Switch 2 takes a big enough leap for developers to not have to take THAT much of a hit for their ports or 3rd party exclusives. It'd be nice to see really great games that match the visual quality of Nintendo's first party games
Since Zelda TotK I still haven''t played a game with the same quality. I mean, you know when you constantly think about a game and even think about playing and no other game can fill the void ? lol
It's been a year and I finished many other incredible games but none has come close.
Well, no wonder it became my favorite game of all time

I was like this with Death Stranding when it came out so I absolutely relate. I'm hoping the 3D Mario game we're all waiting for ends up being like this for me.

Dang. Did Nintendo underestimate TTYD sales and undership? This is reminding me of Metroid Prime Remastered.
I do think this may be a mix of retailers under ordering resulting in a more modest print from nintendo. Remember print runs come from the result of two things: calculated producer demand combined with allotment requests from distributors.
So basically Walmart underestimated pre announcement how much allotment they wanted, and when it surpassed that with the preorders it was in such a scope nintendo couldn't immediately adjust for launch. Remember all this stuff has to be made shipped to the states months before launch.
It's also why P-Bandai is a thing.
Not every Mario sells incredible but they usually sell decently.
Well now that pushed me over the edge to preorder Paper Mario (worst case scenario is Im content with my Gamecube version... oh woe is me!)
But I also have Luigi and the NES World Champ preordered.... Granted its two remasters + a series of remixed NES challenges, but I appreciate Switch pumping out plenty of stuff I still wanna day 1!

I'm right there with you on that, exactly.
I didn't pre-order TTYD from anywhere and not even sure I can so hopefully this isn't indicative of anything and it won't be a hassle to get if you miss day or week 1.
I think it will remain the same, but probably add more systems exclusively to the Switch 2 (ds and Wii for example) while keep updating the current catalog for both Switch 1 and 2
Definitely! A new Mario 3D can do the same for me!
Death stranding 2 now is the only game that is keeping me from selling the PS5!
OP
OP
Assuming this backwards compatible, I expect it to be the exact same as we know it but possibly more frequent drops/updates at the beginning of the Switch 2 to get more people onto NSO. Though, I think Mario Kart or Party at launch will do that alone lol
It absolutely seems like they did, which I don't know how that happens but here we are. It might be legitimately hard to get Paper Mario at launch and it kinda sucks to see but it's also a little cool considering everyone is seemingly stoked for this
Well, if I'm being honest, it's probably cause there was little to no fanfare with Paper Mario TOK. That game kinda just came and went, so maybe they were expecting around the same sales number so they printed less copies for Paper Mario? It's gonna be interesting to see how they respond because it took em awhile to get more Metroid Prime back in stock and I doubt another low printed game like Endless Ocean Luminous will get restocked anytime in the future cause it's not a major title.
I think the NES World Championship preorder should be fine given that it hasn't sold out yet and a lot of people are going international for the Famicom controllers and because, honestly, the non-NA versions of the Deluxe Sets are much better than the NA Deluxe Set lol. It didn't sell out instantly or anything, and I just checked, it's still available almost everywhere. Luigi's Mansion 2 HD, I don't really know given that they haven't pumped up marketing for it yet. The sentiment of "it's the weakest Luigi's Mansion" has been tossed around so I wonder if that'll hurt sales numbers, but then again, we've yet to see any new features or preorder bonuses or anything. Things could turn around for that but we'll likely have to wait for the Direct until then
We honestly don't know but at this point, people's options for preorders are dwindling. You got Target, Best Buy, Mom & Pop Shops and maybe the Nintendo site themselves though you won't get it day one assumingly lol. It's a weird situation all around.
Hell yeah man, glad to see another person all in!
I sat and played through Mario Land tonight as it has just been added to the Game Boy NSO catalogue and I soon realised that I don't think I'd ever actually played it before. It's quite a privilege playing a 2d Mario game for the first time in this day and age.
It's pretty weird isn't it? Some very odd looking enemies in there, including a human fist?! Wtf.
Shame it's so short.

Shame it's so short.
Mario Land is basically designed to do two back to back playthroughs - hard mode is the "real" mode for me. Love the game but its definitely a weird one as all the enemies feel similar, but not exactly the same to the Mushroom Kingdom enemies - as in the bootleg goombas and koopa troopers.
Then you have the rock dudes and the chinese zombies? and then its just weird. Cool, but weird.
Land 2 feels more familiar but still has plenty of weird enemies/stages.
Anyway... ahead of Paper Mario next week, Im finishing Princess Peach off. its great. Its also insanely easy. But I do feel the overall quality and presentation outweighs its short and easy difficulty. A nice little adventure.

Sorry for this stupid question to ask again but I have been absent from my Switch for awhile… My switch play games automatically after download so how to disable this?
For example, I was downloading Tears of the Kingdom and I was away from the TV doing some work… when I came back I found out that my Switch after finishing the downloading it started the game by itself :/
So how can I disable this? To play the games automatically after finishing downloading them?
I honestly didn't know that was a thing that could happen.
I can't see a solution on Google, either.
Yeah that's strange. Never seen that happen. Maybe it's because I have multiple profiles and I'd have to pick one? I'm not sure. The console doesn't have to be on to download games if that helps.
I know :|
This is why I asked here because I was confused :/
I only have one profile.. I started downloading TOTK and when I came back the game automatically started passed the intro cutscene and Link standing there ready to be controlled :\
Nope, I live completely alone and there is only one controller on the table.
I only have one profile and I downloaded the game using it from the eShop.
I am puzzled by this lol XD
