What would Nintendo have to do going forward to convince you to buy the Switch 2?
>>729271069reduce the price by $300 USD
Price it at around maybe $50Any more than that and I just won't care
>>729271069I already bought mine at release. All I wanted was a stronger, beefier Switch, and that's exactly what I got. I have no complaints about the system, except the S2 launch library sucks ass.
cheaper games would be a start.Free online play. Knock off all of that Amiibo shit.*good* new F-Zero and StarfoxAt least one new IP that makes me go "hey that looks cool actually", and not robots in wheelchairs.
>>729271069Nintendo needs to dieThey're not the same anymore and I don't think they will ever be againIf anything I'll pick up a Switch 2 in a few years - usedPossibly on FB marketplace or something
I already bought mine for Kirby Air Riders and Metroid Prime 4 with mouse controls and I haven't regretted it one bit. Fire Emblem is already coming this year, so I guess I'm just waiting for either that Zelda RPG from MonolithSoft or Kid Icarus Uprising 2
Make at least one miracle game happen, and secure exclusivity Megaman Legends 3, Banjo Threeie, a 3D Sonic that actually looks really good, Metal Gear Rising 2, Mother 4, Timesplitters 4.IDK, pull strings, and make something happen.
>>729271556>nostalgia pandering This is why I believe it needs to dieIt's a nostalgia machineI'd rather let go
>>729271728you asked me what would make me buy one.RE9, which is also going to be on three other consoles I own, isn't cutting it. Mario and Zelda yet again isn't cutting it. I like Mario and Zelda, but I own a switch. I'm kind of full up on Mario and Zelda.
>>729271069I bought alreadyJust waiting for more games, and more patches for Switch 1 games.
>>729271069Earthbound Remake (so, never)
>>729271976Not the op anonI agree Mario and Zelda isn't doing much for me aswellI'll admit I'd probably be interested In a 3d Sonic if they brought back the Chao garden
>>729271069I bought it on launch day
>>729271069I'm gonna buy one. I was thinking of getting one when Pokopia comes out. I have a massive backlog/collection already though
we gotta go cheaper
Make a good zelda game that isnt openworld slop
>>729271069I bought it shortly after release. It's the perfect gaming device that can run modern games with nice graphics (MP4), but I can't see how Nintendo can make any other device except to directly compete with Sony and MS by selling a beefy home console without the portability.The only thing Nintendo can do to generate more sales is drop the price to the same as the Switch 1 and cease Switch 1 console sales.
I've been a fan of Nintendo since I was a wee lad. This new console is the best thing ever made for gaming. It just needs to be the perfect one of its kind. A device that can be played both home console and portable? Wow. Most people who know little about the console can't even tell it can be played both on the big screen and in your hand.
>>729271141I'd still be on the fence due to the overpriced mobile games.
Instead of a Switch Lite... sell a Switch Pro model that only has home console ability. Like a Super Switch that is only in console form without a screen as an alternative? hmnmmmm?
>>729271069I already bought it on november 25th
Nintendo will have to remodel the Switch 2 to cut the price by $100. A Lite or TV model would be a start.
hey retards you are not getting new models while the tech industry is in the process of being consumed by AI
i bought one yesterday just bc. the mario kart bundle and pokemon za. honestly no clue why. the pokemon game sucks and i got bored of mario kart. donkey kong is a game made for literal babies. metroid prime 4 is modern nintendo openworld slop akin to botw/totk. kirby air riders is lol. already got a steamdeck for handheld indie games. the only game i can look forward to is like the next smash brothers if they're even doing that or playing the switch pokemon games at acceptable performance.
>>729274037You can still use the same internals while gutting unecessary components like batteries and screens. Or in the lite's case the dock, power plug, and detachable joycons.
>>729274548Really you should have done more research into the games. There's no point to own a Switch 2 outside of first parties now the Steam Deck exists.
why would I buy a second switch 2?
>>729271069Raise the price after tax season.
>>729271198Bonanza is better than botw and odyssey thoughbeit
Real talk has anyone been able to pick up a dock in stores? Can't even find them on Amazon, do the unofficial ones work well?
>>729271069Classic Zelda, or a Pokemon game that doesn't suck.
>>729274037OLED won't be consumed by AI...?
>>729275063You can only buy them from Nintendo's online store.
>>729275063Official dock is Ninty only.The unofficial ones work, but Ninty's major updates break the compatibility, leaving them to be a paperweight until the chinks can crack the thing; In my case, a week.
>>729274879yeah i know. thats why i only looked at the first parties. just bought it bc its christmas and wanted to give my oled switch to my brother in law
>>729275063It doesn't come with one?
>>729271069get rid of the key card shit or at least make that aspect less shit.Nintendo should turn themselves into a private company. Make NSO optional.Kill off amiibos. we don't need that shit anymoreMake Switch 2 more offline friendly. I want first party games to stop being so mediocre sometimes. Continue working with indies and third parties. Less shit aesthetics. Flat design needs to go away at least for future games if not the OS.prices barely bother me but making MKW 80 dollars was kinda brutal. I'll probably pick up switch 2 by 2027 I guess
>>729271069first party anime tiddy games
>>729271069I'm basically holding out for new Animal Crossing, which I'm expecting to drop in like 2027. Hoping that they'll do a special edition console like last time. Other than that, new Mario/Pokémon/Zelda, the usual.
>>729275806For the new AC THEY FUCKING BETTER focus on "life sim" shit this time
>>729275583Nintendo bans tiddy games from western eShops now.>>729275358I guess since you already gifted your OLED you may as well keep it for your backlog of Switch 1 games. It's what I'm using mine for. I'm playing Kirby Return to Dreamland Deluxe right now. I wish Switch 2 editions of games weren't bad but they are.
>>729276148yeah its a pretty shit problem with banning but at least it's region free so I can just set up a JP account or import. Also this may just be mostly a NoA problem since dispatch on the eshop was actually untouched on the AU eshop. How are switch 2 editions of games bad? dafuq?
>>729271069It honestly just needs better gamesPrime 4 could have been a great hook for me at least but they squandered that by hiring 343 retards to shit up their game
>>729271069I want more actually conservative right wing games. Enough with faggot pandering.
>>729271069Games?
>>729276401MP4 is still fun desu but like maybe not 60-70 dollars fun. I would recommend Metroid dread though if your that let down by it unless 2D MVs aren't your thing.
>>729276332It's $10 for a resolution buff or $20 for Switch 2 exclusive DLC. In the case of Mario Party the resolution and better textures is exclusive to the $20 DLC unless they patched it. For Kirby, it's 3 hours of remixed stages. Either way I'm boycotting Switch 2 editions in protest until they stop sucking. Wonder's DLC might change my mind. Though I'll be a sucker for Xenoblade.
>>729271069Make better games.
>>729276589 (me)I am aware Animal Crossing's Switch 2 Edition is $5.
>>729271487>Nintendo needs to dieFUCK YOU unlike you I don't want to be a detached blob that knows nothing about history
>people asking for a major price reduction when there’s actually going to be a price increase soon because ai is fucking up ram prices.Not going to lie I fomo bought one yesterday when I saw Best Buy had it 50 dollars off, that’s the best you’re going to get and you better take it sooner or later because a price increase is 100% coming in 2026.
>>729277368FUCK THIS FUCKING DECADE!!!!!! FUCK EVERYTHING
>>729271069I won't spend more than $350 for the console. Also the current console sucks. They need to redesign it. I would prefer something that is actually portable so I can fit it in my pocket. Also it needs an oled screen and improved battery life.
>>729276401I don't think 343 was that responsible all they did was environment art and graphical polish
>>729277368>ram prices go up 100%>12gb ram chip in console goes from $15 to $30>nintendo still has an over $100 profit margin on every console sold
>>729277687lmao. they win again by doing nothing. no one fucks with the samurai
>>729277734they didn't win this holiday season though. there is no way retailers will let them raise the msrp when they are all undercutting their current price.
>>729271069Put games on it that are either A: $60 or B: 10/10. I'm not interested in paying eighty dollars for mid games. Even so, everything around it is so fucking expensive because nintendo is so hostile around third parties and 2nd hand games.
>>729271069I already have one. As for what I want, I’ll be realistic. Smash Ultimate Deluxe. Give me new characters and stages. If Animal Crossing New Horizons can get more content, so can Smash.
>>729277687More like 9000%
>>729277873>$60Way too high still. Triple A games on sale on Steam are $40 max.
>>729277873.... or is it more that third parties are hostile towards nintendo. Dude fuck third parties honestly. Everyone else has become mega shit
>>729277984digital only lol
>>729278000>Everyone else has become mega shitCompared to mega shit open world Mario kart and mega shit open world Metroid?
>>729271069Every single Nintendo system I bought has been because of Monster Hunter, so the answer on what will get me to buy a Switch 2 is Monster Hunter.
>>729278062YES actually. Like everyone else is barely even fucking trying at this point. The new COD was a shitshow.
>>729278040Just torrent it if you lose it
>>729278000Would make sense. Nintendo is trying their damndest to get third parties to publish on Switch 2. And yet third parties don't sell on Switch 2. It's a matter of time before third parties ditch Nintendo entirely for Playstation 6.
>>729278132PS6? lmao sure
>>729278062>open world MetroidIt’s not though. If people played the game they would understand that the desert in Prime 4 is more like Hyrule Field in OOT.
>>729278132PS6 is like the last fucking thing we need right now>>729278204yeah honestly you don't spend that much time in sol valley until the very end where they windwakered it
>>729278132>And yet third parties don't sell on Switch 2yeah because of the FUCKING KEY CARDS
>>729271069>What would Nintendo have to do going forward to convince you to buy the Switch 2?travel back in time to take the one i already bought? i bought it at launch because i'm not a brokie.
>>729278268Especially when the portable PS6 is rumored to be $1500 before the RAM price increases.
>>729278108Does Monster Hunter Stories 3 count
>>729278374>Especially when the portable PS6 is rumored to be $1500Like third parties would be out of their mind if they fucking supported that knowing that no one would even get one
>>729275481it comes with ONE. if you have multiple TVs or go to friends' houses you might want more.
>>729278132Did Nintendo seppuku with the 3DS price cut in order to prevent that from happening with the Vita?
>>729271069OLED screen.I would pay even $200 more for a version that doesn't have the most dogshit LCD ever created.
>>729278000I mean sure, but nintendo being stingy with dev kits, game key cards and blocking 3rd party accessories is mainly what I'm on about. You can't even buy a game off of ebay without risking a ban.
>>729278643im pretty sure the ban is only for online
>>729278459Well PC handhelds average around $800 to $1100. Sony might think they're competing with those instead of Nintendo. And even if the Switch 2 is $500 Nintendo is still the budget option.However this means there's no main brand console that is under $500. So a lot of families are going to get priced out of video games. Naturally the entire industry is going to contract. AAAA games will die and studios will go bankrupt. AI will be essential to replace manpower. And a cottage industry of displaced workers will take over game development in theory.
>>729278643well if hackers tamper with the card then they should either disclose it or not fucking sell it
>>729271069I'm a huge Nintendo fan, but I just don't see much of a point in buying consoles anymore since I finally rejoined the master race a year or so ago.
>>729278801>the master racelol, lmao even. If you knew how much MS and nvidia will want to seriously fuck with you
TL;DR if Nintendo can stay a middleware machine they might survive. But Nintendo needs third parties to make unique cheaper software for the system. Not port inferior AAAA games to it.
>>729271069I'd like to see Nintendo attempt to make a new IP for a genre they don't have a foothold in. I'd want to pick up a Switch 2 out of morbid curiosity alone if they tried to ape CRPG / WRPG design, for example.
>>729278539Just double dip pussy
>>729279197>CRPG / WRPGanon, they're Japanese....
>>729274548>spending almost $700 and getting bored after one (1) dayOH NO NO NO TENDIES OUR RESPONSE? Etc.Not sure what you were expecting. How do people have this kind of money to throw around so recklessly?
>>729279295Right, I was using the word "ape" to try and indicate a game that wouldn't literally be a CRPG / WRPG, just one that takes the general design philosophies of those kinds of games and filters them through a Nip mindset.>inb4 "that's what JRPGs are"That's what they were to CRPGs from the fucking 80s, but not modern ones. I seriously question if any major JRPG dev has paid the slightest bit of attention to how the genre evolved after Wizardry died in the West.
>>729279362It's called a job
>>729271069I want a new guitar hero and make it not shit
>>729271069200 bucksOdyssey 2Head
>>729279617>Odyssey 2That's bananza
>>729279479Unless Nintendo gets a western developer to make one I can't see it. I wouldn't mind taking a crack myself at making a simple easy to understand tabletop crpg system. I need to get back to making one.
>>729271069A proper followup to Xenoblade x might get me interested. I bought the Wii U and the og Switch for their xeno games, but now even that might not be enough to get me back.
>>729279479Xenoblade X was outright stated to be inspired by Mass Effect by a developer. If anything a lot of Japanese games are taking way too many shitty ideas from Western games these days.
>>729279629> need to get back to making one.You and me both, anon. They're kind of a nightmare to try and solodev, though. I've been workshopping the idea of releasing small 1 hr to beat projects for free/cheap piecemeal to build up systems for something bigger, but even that doesn't seem too practical.
>>729278421No because it will be on other systems that I already have. Has to be a switch 2 exclusive.
>>729271069my last console was the ps2, then an emulation chinkheld recently which will naturally stay a 100x better investment than whatever other plastic trash you throw at me so making me interested in expensive plastic trash will be a tall order
>>729271069They don't have to do anything, I will be forced to buy one when the next Xenoblade releases
>>729271069homebrew support
>>729271069SA1/2 rema(ster)ke+PSO+tiny chao garden interactivity between all three of them like the Gamecube had.
>>729279716If X somehow included the mech piloting because of the fucking Mako it will be one massive point in favor of that clunky piece of shit's existence. Still, you're right, the main-stream breakthrough titles in the genre seem to have had some influence, Skyrim being another example, but that's also the shallow end of the pool. Ideally they'd look deeper.
>>729279628Don't call fetus game Odyssey 2, you fucking marketsaar.
They could start by making games that aren't geared towards 5 year olds or man children to start.
>>729271069Nothing, I already bought 2. One is on the launch firmware, ready for homebrew, and the other is my Mario Kart machine. Hopefully they give us another game other than Mario Kart at some point. Kirby is kinda cool but not my thing.
>>729279840At least I have a tabletop system planned out. My problem is character creation. I originally planned it for a robot girl mecha miniature game. But now I have to pivot to RPG and that means create a character. I refuse to use the OGL d20 system. So things have been in a slump. At least TTRPGs are easy to translate into code in theory.
more exclusivesthat's pretty much it
>>729271069I never buy nintendo products but i tell my parents to get them for me for holidays/birthday because it makes them happy to buy me actual games instead of just giving me gift cards. They still have that "all video games are a nintendo" mindset from when i was a kid so it's easier to just ask for nintendo games than try to explain steam
>>729279562>having a job means you spend $700 a day on things you don’t like
>>729280406>spending 700 one time is the same as spending 700 a daycome on anon
>>729280128>I refuse to use the OGL d20 system.Hey, there's always Powered by the Apocalypse = ^). I do feel you, though I prefer to use TTRPG systems as a starting point rather than do a direct adaption, since I think it makes best use out of the unique benefits of a CRPG being on, well, a Computer.
>>729279993Well you can still play upscaled odyssey
>>729271069I would like a new 3D Zelda or Xenoblade game
>>729280645I'm just happy to play echoes at a stable framerate
>>729280461I have my own numbers system, turn system, and actions. I just need to find a way to adapt it to an RPG system and a character creator.I'm surprised there's not more CRPG ports to Switch 2. The original Dragon Age with keyboard and mouse is fun. Though EA is on my permanent shitlist since 2009.
I was going to get a Switch 1 but since this is coming out and can play their games them well....
Discontinue key cards.
>>729280682I bet you are tendie with your plastic toy consoles
>>729280783Already some progress here since lower capacity carts are being made now.
>>729279197I feel like they could make a good city builder
>>729277083>that knows nothing about historyExactlyThen you should know that nothing last forever and history is generally cyclicalIt's time to let go teddiesIf you don'tYou'll be like a cancer that refuses to die
>>729280736Unfortunately I'd guess the CRPG collections don't do amazingly well. Probably not enough to justify any port that actually might take more effort, at least. I'd like to see a Jade Empire port, though, personally, since it might give me an excuse to actually beat it for once.
