You did buy a Switch 2 before tomorrow's price hike, right?
From tomorrow on, the console's MSRP will be raised to 499€.
Better purchase your Duskbloods Machine before then...

My switch 2 with elden ring arrived 1 hour ago. Somehow got the console for €430 and the game for €74 (still expensive but whatever).

already got mine but it's gathering dust, give zero fucks about duskblood or ports

It's funny how small the box is. At first I thought it was either magic or the Switch 2 is way smaller than I remembered. Turns out it's simply because the joy cons aren't attached.

I'm not buying mine until Xenoblade Genesis comes out. Maybe they'll have a special edition of the console to coincide.

Got mine back during the first lotto. Still waiting for them to fix the shitty HDMI handshake that makes the dock output incompatible with any early gen HDMI tv. Seriously who the fuck at Nintendo thought forcing auto resolution was a good thing, let alone defaulting to fucking SD resolution when it fails.

You can only change the settings if the HDMI handshake is successful, and only to detected compatible resolutions. If it fails the handshake it will default to a system failsafe that is SD(4:3) resolution.
Early gen HDMI wasn't digital and doesn't have that handshake. So it always fails, and Nintendo does not let you change that setting otherwise.

Interesting. Here in the UK, we haven't had an extension or update of the MKW bundle like you have in Canada, at the moment the only official bundle is the Pokopia one. We are getting the same Switch Sports Resort bundle though, AFAIK. However some British retailers did this amazing promotion (that my friend took advantage of) where they packed in a copy of RE9 or Pragmata for FREE with a Switch 2 system. So basically if you were looking to buy a Switch 2 this summer and didn't care about Pokopia you could pay less for a standard Switch 2 and play one of those games instead for free. This only lasted around a month because it was obviously such a great deal. Capcom must have really wanted to get a bump on their Switch 2 physical game sales in Britain for some reason.

Yeah I have it but current games are meh. My hope is that Duskbloods and Fire Emblem will be good. I game on PC mostly, but I hope they can release some more interesting exclusives. This is my first time owning a Nintendo and I havent had a console since PS3 and yeah it will be my last console for sure. PC gaming is just better imo.
Dont know shit about what Playstation have now and I am not interested in GTA6 at all. I mostly bought my Switch 2 for the lulz.

I'm buying when they fix the screen with an OLED and fix VRR not working in docked mode.
>>
>>746591979
check out the xenoblade games, theyre seriously amazing and the only nintendo games (apart from maybe the new zeldas) that would benefit from a pc release so i think you would enjoy them. a new entry for switch 2 called xenoblade genesis is coming out next year so you could play through the games in preparation for that
super complex with a lot of gameplay systems and lore
imagine a nintendo jrpg thats super polished and with a bit more of an adult edge
>>
>>746592309
Yeah maybe I will try it I think its mechas? I usually dont like mechas, besides in one anime I saw called Code Geass.

Yeah we have played Zelda breath of wild. I haven't finished, but its kinda mid imo the only good thing about is that that my wife can actually play it and she seem to like it. Its still prob the best game so far but kinda becomes dull after some time. I rather play some soulslike games on PC over Zelda.
I have metroid which is mid as well, but it does have nice soundtrack at least
I have mario cart world, but that one I kinda regret buying its nice that co-op local works with 60FPS.

Hence my problem is that PC games is just so much better and I don't care for handheld since I play docked to an OLED TV almost all the time
I just hope for better switch exclusives.

Will check up Xenoblade, although I doubt its my thing, so my hope lies with Duskbloods which I wish had some single player campaign together with PVP.
Fire Emblem also, never played ant but it does seem very interesting and seem to have some layers of complexity

I'll just wait for when it goes on sale in 3-4 years and there's more games

>>746593260
>Yeah maybe I will try it I think its mechas
yes and no. as little spoilers as possible, xenoblade 1 and xenoblade x are very mecha, xenoblade 3 a very tiny bit, xenoblade 2 not at all
the point is that its not longer a defining part of the series

fire emblem is incredibly complex even moreso than xenoblade but its also turn based which for me does limit its appeal even though ive loved every single fire emblem game ive played

btw you might want to consider giving stardew valley a try, whether its on pc or switch, i think your wife will like it, great coop game, but maybe its not enough action for you
>>
>>746593786
actually sorry im stupid a quick amendment to the spoiler, this one is a real spoiler
xenoblade 2 does have heavy mechashit but its literally just the very end of the game as you are doing the last dungeon which is why i forgot about it

one last recommendation for you anon
for fire emblem if you are playing with your wife start with three houses
three houses is very appealing to women as it has really likeable male leads and a wholesome dating mechanic which is layered on top of the strategy gameplay
the maps in this game are also very good in my opinion despite what hardcore fans say
it cant be understated how much this entry brought new audiences to the entire series
>>
>>746593786
Thanks, but then I will wait for switch 2 Exclusive called Xenoblade Genesis it looks on trailer like a more mature Zelda type of game I guess. I don't wanna buy Switch 1 games or games that exist on PC already.

Yeah I don't mind turn based if its well done, so I hope it will turn out good. There seem to be Fire Emblem threads often, so people seem to be hyped about it.

Stardew valley it seems like one of those comfy games not exactly my type, but maybe its good dunno. Apparently its already pirated on my phone lol, forgot to try it and unsure if its same version as PC.

>Xenoblade Genesis it looks on trailer like a more mature Zelda type of game I guess

It's true. The game will be amazing, but it's clearly trying to poach some of the Zelda and Fire Emblem fanbase as a means of getting new fans. This is also why they've dropped the numbers from the title. XC3 didn't exactly flop, but it badly underperformed.

Understandable and reasonable. For me it was like, unless they completely skip 3d Mario and Smash and Zelda (they won't), there's no way there won't eventually be an exclusive for me that I want to play.
And while Bananza, Raiders, Pokopia aren't system sellers for me, I knew I wanted to pick those up too.

Even for a couple hundred dollars more, I would still appreciate ditching my gaming laptop and switch and just doing everything on one device that travels well. I play mostly old games anyway though, so by the time I give a shit the steam deck 2 may very well have come out.
>>746607012
are you retarded? the steam deck can emulate everything worth emulating and the switch 2 isnt hackable and probably will never be hacked. And I can use the deck as a media center and run Kodi on it. The value comparison doesn't even come close.

Seems divisive, but if it ends up being real I might sell my launch Switch 2 and grab one of these. Zelda edition consoles are always my favorite and my 'tism hates the light orange and light blue under the caps. Having a single color and an overall themed design seems better.

The other thing I guess I should mention is that I personally have kind of given up on Nintendo. I'm not excited for any of their new games anymore. I don't have the expectation that any of them will be good. They've just dropped the ball so hard, with making the switch 2 so locked down, all the peripherals are expensive, the online is expensive, the games are expensive, and I just don't care enough to want to subject myself to that. I will just pirate the next Zelda and play it on an emulator, or I will do what I did when Breath of the Wild came out for WIIU and I will play it at a barcade and spend maybe 40 dollars on beer and tendies instead of a retarded amount on the console and game just to play it.

Do they even have any plans for good limited edition consoles? I got the Splatoon Switch, if it's not at least that good then I'm not interested.

That’s the main catch. You can hunt around for used switch 1 games, but it’s not right seeing switch 2 re-releases at $70-80. I’ll pay a little premium to get the upgrade on the cart, but there’s no way I’m building a library of switch 2 editions.

Not as good as the brand new for $400 deal a few weeks ago, but a website called Woot has grade A refurbished for $400. It’s Amazon stock and probably new open box from personal experience.

NTA, but I would be up to buying used Switch games if people weren't such animals at taking care of them, and whenever I take a peek at CeX, their Switch games look badly taken care of and sometimes cost as much as a brand new copy.

You just have to get lucky and also keep an eye on Amazon sales and DekuDeals. Yesterday I went to fucking GamePlanet and they had a sale + 20% off Happy Hour, so I nabbed M&L Brothership for super cheap, as in less than $25 cheap, and also DK Bananza.

Just rent games from your local library?

Don't bother.
In related news, I bought an ASUS Prime Radeon RX 9070 (non-XT) for $630 thinking that the price would be jumping by last week, but it hasn't. I thought it would be going to $800+, but it hasn't done it (at least not yet, I guess. )
