Did it live up to the hype now that its debut year is ending?
it still has several more months of its debut year, but yes it has.
Yep
Not even goddamn close. Nintendo's resting on their laurels big time. Their games aren't showing any justification for jumping to $70+, they're blatantly doing it just because Sony and Microsoft got away with it first. The lineup coming up is fucking dreadful too so far./v/ has to pretend it's lived up to the hype though, thanks to insane purity spiraling for Nintendo for the past 8 years. Don't want to be one of those SNOYS, do you?
>>729414403We need to see the first Direct of 2026 before properly judging it.
any news on an emulator yet
>>729414403No. Buying it is a gamble you should only really make if you're convinced the RAM price increase will make it more expensive, or you have a day 1 switch that is dying.
>>72941510410 years at least.
>>729415172
>>729414403What games are on it again? Donkey Kong and Mario Kart?
>>729414403I wish it had. Why are they being so slow with Switch 2 upgrade patches? Nevermind the absolute jewery of the paid Zelda ones. It can't be that hard to make the Xenoblade games get a resolution bump to 480p.
>>729415365>Mario Kart World>Donkey Kong Bananza>Drag x Drive>Kirby's Air Riders>Hyrule Warriors: Age of ImprisonmentAnd coming up:>Mario Tennis Fever>Pokopia>Yoshi and the Mysterious Book>Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave/v/ actually thinks this is better than the Switch's first year and a half.
The only people who say "yes" are people who were going to buy it ASAP no matter what.
>>729414403I bought one for my family for Christmas. I’d say it’s perfectly sufficient as a direct upgrade to the switch 1 which is all I really wanted.I wanted the switch but the games don’t run like complete shit.
>>7294151722 years at best lmao you guys are acting like this is some complex architecture
>>729415754>/v/ actually thinks this is better than the Switch's first year and a half.Switch 2 hasn't even been out half a year yet
>>729414403What hype? The moment it was announced everyone shat all over it.
>>729415365Calarts Kong and Mario Kart Worst
>>729414403It's fine but Mario Kart and Metroid Prime being flops quality wise really hurts its image. I just hope Smash comes out fine
>>729414403it got released at worst time in the USA
>>729421805Smash is Sakurai and Bamco, not Nintendo, so it'll probably be fine. Though it'll probably just more of the same. It's either going to be pointless compared to Ultimate or just Ultimate renamed and regurgitated.
>>729421805>I just hope Smash comes out finewhy you faggots want a smash 6 so badly?, we should get a upgrade to uyltimate instead
>>729414403I've been using it way more than I did my switch 1. It's surprising how much the size difference makes it more comfortable to hold for me. MK World and Bananza were fun enough though not great console sellers.
>>729422017Because Ultimate is over seven years old. It's not outrageous to want a new game to play after seven years, even if the old one is good.
>>729414403sales wise the console is about where it needs to be. it's a bit concerning that the sales are so front loaded. typically consoles that fall off hard after launch struggle the most.games wise it was a disappointment. we waited nearly a decade for a new mario kart and world was a massive disappointment. kirby was fun but it filtered all the normies. the only game that was an uncontested success was donkey kong.
Got one yesterday enjoying it so far. That said I’ve only played pokemon unite botw on switch2 mode and Mario kart world. I do not care enough about DK or Metroid to pay 80 bucks for them. I’ll probably just fuck around on my pokemon moba and ignore my back log like I did for switch’s entire lifecycle too
