Remember when there was a huge movement to boycott the Switch 2 leading up to its release, and people were talking about voting with their wallets and punishing Nintendo for their greed, and then the Switch 2 came out and it became the fastest selling console of all time and an absolute smash hit
no I don't
>>748299379I do, that's was pretty funny
>>748299881My favorite part was when YouTubers had to apologize to their audiences for buying a Switch 2
>>748299379Yea but it was clear nobody would actually follow through. Gamers are one of the biggest sheep markets. It's why this shit sells like hotcakes.>>748299796Cap
>>748299379yea browntendies are cultistswhat's new
Yeah, whatevah happened there?
>>748299379I think I'm one of the few anons that doesn't buy games or systems out of principle. Didn't buy a PS5 when Sony killed Japan Studio, didn't buy a Switch 2 when the whole GKC shit happened and I knew most companies would not put their games on them on cartridges. Everything is fake and gay.
>>748299379you cant boycott shitendo in 2026.the world is mostly obese, gay, and brown, which are the main characteristics of the tribe of nintendo
>Remember when there was a huge movement to boycott the Switch 2 leading up to its releaseNo
>>748299379I do not remember that and I enjoy my Switch 2 very much
>>748299379I remember alt right grifters trying to organize pokemon ZA boycott
>>748299379
>>748304557It do be like that
>>748299379It's because there was no actual boycott. The people who all screamed "drop the price" were already seething fanboys who hated Nintendo and had no intention of buying one regardless of the price. Switch 2 era has been full of concern trolls pretending to be disgruntled Nintendo fans in a desperate attempt to sway the mind of the public. They're still salty the switch was a massive success and Nintendo didnt go third party after the wii u. They have failed miserably but are still desperately insisting to this day that "the momentum will halt any time now"
It was kids trying to impress youtubers.
Should I get a Switch 2 now or wait until next year? I want one for the OOT Remake and Metroid Dread 2. Its on sale at the moment
>>748305307Get it now man, you never know when prices could go up these days.
>>748305075Look I just want Zelda on PC ok. I have no interest in all the anime weeb shit and baby shit on Nintendo machines. I just care about Zelda. To me Nintendo are just the Zelda company. I dont want to pay 500 bucks for a machine just to play Zelda when they could just put it on Steam.
>>748305307it will only get more expensive because of rampocalypse thanks to AIslop
>>748305436Mario Odyssey is awesome man. You should get a Switch 2 and play it, and the next 3D Mario when it comes out
>>748305691I dont give a shit about Mario games. I have zero interest in them and never did. Nintendo is just a Zelda company to me. I dont care about Mario or Pokemon or Animal Crossing or Fire Emblem or any other shit like that. I only care about linear action and action adventure games.
>>748299379And I did. Once Nintendo showed off a $450 price tag, $80 Mario Kart and game-key cards I turned right the fuck around on the spot. They want to walk all that shit back, I might listen. Right now though, I'm good.
>>748299379>all the people saying 500 dollars was too muchIf only we knew how bad things would really be
>>748305909Nobody paid $80 for Mario Kart. Everybody got the bundle.
>>748305436>>748305812The last Zelda game seriously worth acknowledging is A Link Between Worlds. You aren't missing much these days.
>>748299379Sounds like it never happened.
>>748299379Nope
>>748299379And also the cheapest console, with the cheapest online and the most number of games. There's absolutely nothing greedy about them when you compare them to literally everyone else.
>>748299379The Wii sold better.
Can't wait for the threads complaining about how the switch stores are being taken down :)
>>748305925This is what's killing me. I thought $450 for a Switch successor was outrageous 18 months ago. I've lost track of how many beers I've been asked to hold since then.
>>748305925PC is absolutely fucked to the point I've been considering a mini PC prebuilt to replace my desktop gaming PC (since the Switch 2 completely replaced it for vidya) because the RAM, GPU and SSD m2 prices are that bad.
>>748305436>>748305812I genuinely pity people with such narrow tastes.
>>748306015>when you compare them to literally everyone elseThat is a subterranean bar to cross.
>>748305957The clear cut coercion to buy digital through that bundle was repulsive.
>>748306024was the wii only out for less than 2 years?
>>748306497I like buying digital because it's much more convenient.
>>748306740I like it as an option to leverage, there are pros and cons to digital. I do not like it being pushed upfront as a superior option via going full pants-on-head with the physical release. I don't like the scenario of "yeah, you can, but why the fuck would you?".
>>748305975Literally the only games I played this year were Resident Evil 9 and Pragmata
>>748307252meant for you >>748306326
no i dont? why would anybody need to boycott switch 2
>>748306015>most number of gameswhat? are ypu countimg switch 1 games
>>748307439No, he's right. Switch 2 has what, 4 games? That's not a lie.
>>748299379Turns out snoys were the only ones boycotting, they weren't ever going to buy the console to begin with.
>>748305307That's pretty cheap, you might as well go for it. If you really want to risk it and don't mind paying almost a hundred extra, you could wait for the Zelda edition.
>>748299379I think Harman Smith was pretty much the only Nintendo youtuber saying it would successful from the onset. The guy has insane business sense.
>>748305436>Look I just want Zelda on PC okThat's a you problem, you emufaggots got too comfortable and spoiled with how easy the Switch 1 was hacked and how fast functional emulators came out, but because those retards were incapable of shutting the fuck up, now Nintendo owns a unhackable console that might take a whole decade to get an emulator, and the only option you have is to cry impotently because you can't emulate their games anymore. You're as bad as the retards crying that Nintendo is not releasing Ravenous or Fortune's Weave on Switch 1, transparent wastes of oxygen who would have pirated the game as soon as they had the chance.Either buy a Switch 2 if you really want to play the OoT Remake and whatever new future Zelda, or stick to your Ship of Harkinian sour grapes.
>>748306672It was so popular that people lined up in the thousands for hours and hours to get a Wii. People were tracking trucks from the port to figure out where the shipments were going to they could line up in front of stores overnight before they were restocked. Switch2 is a gay micro-update that’s only going to really move units because Nintendo owns Pokemon.
I remember shitposters constantly trying to increase the price lmao>IT COSTS $450?>I CAN'T BELIEVE NINTENDO WOULD PRICE PEOPLE OUT LIKE THAT CHARGING $550 FOR THE SWITCH 2>THE AUDACITY TO CHARGE $650 PLUS TARIFFS FOR A SWITCH 2 AND $110 BING BING WAHOO GAMES
>>748307831This isnt about piracy. I'd pay 100 bucks for Zelda if it was on steam. I don't give a single fuck about any other Nintendo game as its all extremely cringe anime weeb shit or baby shit. I wouldnt even play their other games for free.
I hate how the Switch 2 there isn’t colorful joy cons and they’re just black. The whimsy is gone.
>>748305307better to get it now because its probably going to get more expensive down the road from the ai companies buying up all the ram and storage
>>748299379>People4chink and reddit have no influence on the market
>>748306326^Peak redditor right here
>>748307982I remember when they were doomposting about $100 games and then looked the other way when Grand Theft Auto VI did it.
The amount of doomposting the switch2 got was insane. Anyone remember the 24/7 threads about joycons breaking?
>>748305812>I only care about linear action and action adventure games.You DO realize that a lot of Nintendo games have action adventure DNA in them, right? Colletathon Marios, Metroid, Pikmin, hell even the new Kirby game looks more action adventure inspired. Does the mere thought of platforming making you shit your pants?
Zelda is basically an anime weeb game now anyways m8. It stopped being a serious medieval fantasy franchise a long time ago. OOT and MM were the last ones that were serious non anime weeb games. WW, TP, SS, BOTW and TOTK all have anime weeb feel to the way the characters behave and speak. This is nothing to do with the graphics btw just in case you think thats what im saying. Its about the way the characters in the games come across in their mannerisms and dialogue and whatnot. Weebs dont notice this as they like that sort of shit.
>>748308443Those are all boring baby games. Kirby is a baby game and so is Pikmin and Mario. I will say though yes Metroid is good most of the time. Zelda and Metroid are the only serious games Nintendo makes. Everything else they put out is either for babies or anime loving weebs.
>>748308621>muh baby gamesAre you really shitting yourself over the art styles? Because I can garuntee you zelda is just as easy. Pikmin is absolutely harder than zelda as well
>>748299379I remember all the death threats people got for buying it
>>748308621Kirby and the Forgotten World isn't super difficult but I think it's so good.
>>748308906Nintendo antis simply hate joy
>>748300928>yea browntendies are cultistsBrown countries don't play Nintendo, they never had it in the 90's and 2000's, they only started playing Nintendo games with the Wii and Switch emulators
A haiku tribute for switch 2 I vote with my wallet I play every afternoonI love my switch 2ˈTHaNGk ˌyo͞o
>>748308765No its nothing to do with the art style at all. Theres no proper story or anything like in Zelda. Theres no point to playing those baby games.
>>748301205You're not missing out. Tranny shit like fire emblem and God of War arent worth the money sink. I just stick to PC.
>>748309071The race cope always makes me laugh because literally everyone knows playstation is the thirdy console of choice outside of mexico
>>748308906Why do people online take video games so insanely serious lmao. I dont even have a switch as I have no interest in the games but I'd never say any weird shit like this to people over anything video game related
>>748309157Based
>>748309237Zelda games have thoroughly mediocre stories though. I love zelda but if you really claim they have stories that are notably better than other nintendo series I dont know what you're smoking
>>748309271I am not sure if it's a zoomer thing or what, but it pisses me off that DBZ and Nintendo is said to be a brown thing. In the 90's, DBZ and Nintendo was a whites-only kid thing in USA, it defined us as kids. It's not our fault Mexicrents discovered DBZ and Nintendo in 2010
>>748299379Its still going on. Many stayed on switch 1 and moved to PC.And Switch 2 has been selling like shit in sweden since release.I also often see Nintendo first party Switch 2 games for 30-40$ on sale.
>>748309370Theres no characters or anything to care about in other Nintendo games. Its all just mindless gameplay for no reason.
>>748309463Fuck off Deen
>>748309507Ok, now you're just straight up bullshitting
>>748308621Fucking Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games have better stories than every Zelda game. Even the arguably more mature and story-consistent one, Twilight Princess, needed its plotholes to be filled by the manga.>>748309507>Its all just mindless gameplay for no reason>videogame has too much gameplayOk yeah that's enough with you, kindly go off yourself.
>>748300928>>748301457Why is 4chan now pushing for Jim Crow in video games? Wasn’t our movement about ethics in gaming journalism?
>Its all just mindless gameplay for no reason.
>>748309517Im not deen.
>>748309594>>748309654I'm not going to give a shit about anything happening in games like Pokemon and Kirby and whatnot. Zelda is the only Nintendo game where I care about anything happening in the plot. I find games boring if the characters and plot are not engaging.
>>748309507Gameplay shouldn't have a reason, is thanks to retards like you that I have so sit through shitty cutscenes with terrible acting and horrible animations. It's just a videogame, you plug your console, play around a bit and then go back to your life, or maybe you don't have a life and that's why you enjoy sit trough endless cutscenes
>>748309394I'll take the bait. We were watching the original uncensored Dragon Ball anime without your Bruce Faggotner music and Nintendomania, an official dedicated Nintendo saturday program, in the 90's before you were even born, you worthless /pol/shitstain.
>>748309803Have you ever played the original Paper Mario?
>>748309818Yes I dont have a life. What of it? I like movie games like Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata and 007 First Light and Onimusha Way of the Sword
>>748309803And I'll say it again: zelda plots are straight up ass. And pretty much every other nintendo franchise has memorable character that dominate a lot of the discussions, so im not sure why you think zelda is any better in this regard. The only mainline nintendo games with remotely good plots are Fire Emblem and Xenoblade and even those have their issues>>748309796
>>748309867No but I tried the remake game and got bored of it after an hour or 2. I didn't care about nay of the characters so it just seemed pointless.
>>748299379>Remember when there was a huge movement to boycott the Switch 2No? I was one of those people spamming drop the price, I literally just wanted it to be cheaper is all, because I was most definitely buying one.
>>748309848DBZ and Nintendo is for whites and asians, simple as
>>748309949I like those games too. But I like to have a more simple platformer to play alongside it
>>748310006Lmao dont know how the second (you) snuck in there my bad
>>748310006>Fire Emblem and XenobladeThose are anime weeb games which I find extremely cringe. I hate shit like those games and Persona and Metaphor and so on and all Final Fantasy games except for 7 and the 7 Remakes.
>>748299379When the Switch 2 seethe was at it's peak, I would look through the commenters bitching under the NoA twitter/instagram accounts.I swear to god 70% of them were Brazilian.I'm convinced they are the SEAmonkeys of the west.
>>748309949The stories in those games are genuinely terrible, and I mean that sincerely. I will never understand why retards like you foam at the mouth for what would be considered C-tier at best in any other story telling medium.
The more this anon talks, the more I'm convinced that he morally ought to buy a PS5.
>>748310132Lmao that wasnt even the main point of my post but you shit yourself over the mere mention of those kinds of game. Jesus christ you have genuinely shitty tastes
>>748307991>I'd pay 100 bucks for Zelda if it was on steamKek, lel even
>>748310251I never said they were god stories. There just has to be some sort of semi ok story or I dont give a fuck about anything happening in the game and it feels pointless to play>>748310291I have a PS5. I got one in 2024 for FF7 Rebirth. And I know people will be like "but thats an anime weeb game" yeah but I dont consider FF7 and FF7 Remake to be as cringe and weeb as other anime games like Fire Emblem and Persona and so on.
>>748310182That guy on YouTube AntDude when he did his review of the Switch 2, he started with a preamble about how he knows it's very expensive and he doesn't like game keycards and yadda yadda. And there were still people in his comments pissed off that he bought a Switch 2 and telling him he doesn't understand how serious this is.
>>748310381I feel like Persona appeals to a lot of people who don't consider themselves weebs. Fire Emblem too really.
>>748308906These arr all kids. If I had the time and money I'd request every IP just to show their parents the shit little timmy does on mom's ipad.
>>748310381>I never said they were god stories. There just has to be some sort of semi ok story or I dont give a fuck about anything happening in the game and it feels pointless to playThis is such a retarded thing to gate your enjoyment of video games on.
>>748310394Shame those people have to spend all of their time now running defense for the wolverine game right now.
>>748310456I tried Persona 5 and Metaphor and hated both of them and found them cringe. I tried FE 3 houses and found it extremely cringe. I did like the old GBA FE games though as they were not as cringe and weeb as modern FE.
>>748310490I'm not gating my enjoyment though. Any time I try a game where I dont like the story and characters I get extremely bored and lose interest in playing. So I dont get enjoyment from the games if I dont care about the story and characters.
>>748305307Like others said this is the first console direction where prices go up over time instead of down.
The menus are still sterile and souless af compared to the wii u, and the only game that made me consider getting it turned out to be a mess. A shame.
>>748299379The same thing happened with the Switch 1. People were for sure for real not buying it, then Mario and Zelda got released and it was an instant success. Entire first year of the Switch 1 was filled with bad faith actors and grifters, didnt negatively effect the switch at all. Same thing is happening with the switch 2 just like I said it would. Theyve got DK, Zelda, Starfox, Splatoon, and Metroid and with the help of Playstation and Xboxs continual rise in price its the most affordable system on the market.
>>748301457brown people dont play Nintendo. Its Asians and whites who play it disproportionately
>>748299379I just remember trump doing everything possible to sabotage the Switch 2 by announcing his massive trade war against the rest of the world the day after the Switch 2 was officially unvielded and his AI slop tariff calculator punishing where Nintendo manufactured Switch 2s harder than China.Or how NoA had to delay starting pre-orders due to how how schizo trump was being since he was changing tariffs on a whim or how butthurt he felt that day.Really a testament for how good the Switch 2 is for it to tank all that to still be a success.
>>748308906Why is Twitter full of such miserable bastards, Jesus Christ
>>748310960that literally never happened outside of snoy threads in 4chan, the whole world was talking about the switch the moment it was announced because it was what the wii u wanted to be
>>748310571I still can't see how can people defend that game other than for brand loyalty. I recently saw another video of how, as soon as a cutscene begins, giant walls pop out of the ground just to continue railroading the player through a specific path. I have no idea how people can tolerate being treated like idiots.
Cool but what games does it have to show for it? The PS5 sold gangbusters too when it came but you would be hard pressed to name many must haves
>>748311503Kids that are never told "no"
>>748310960I have a Switch 1 and the only games I ever played on it were BOTW in 2017 and TOTK in 2023. I never used it at all in between those years or after 2023.
>>748311503They're a bunch of trannies who have been taking psychotropic drugs since they were eight years old.
>>748299379I remember Snoys trying to spread FUD because they genuinely convinced themselves lying about shit like $90 games, dock not being included in the box, having to rebuy digital games etc. will cause people to hate it and make it flop
>>748311749I could list 10 Switch 2 exclusives not shared with Switch 1 and pic related will always happen, I already know this song and dance.
>>748305307Go for it. It’s a solid deal.
>>748305957You’re right. The moment the bundle ended the sales for MKW fucking cratered. Nintendo really thought they could sell their cheap ass games for GTA pricing lmfao
>>748312080MKW is still doing better than MK8D in the same timeframe
>>748309071>they never had it in the 90's and 2000'sKek, you just admitted all the "cubesnoys" are white.
>>748299379>and it became the fastest selling console of all time and an absolute smash hitwithout a mainline mario or zelda game to boot, proving you don't need the mainstream audience to be a record breaking success
>>748312373Shame about their software sales. Makes you wonder what people are playing on the thing.
>>748299379it was just snoys seething and coping like always
>>748299379none of my friends bought one. there were always a bunch of normies who were definitely 100% always going to get one. You realize the world isn't just twitter and 4chan right
>>748312080To be fair, Mario Kart is literally their strongest performing franchise. It's like Sony launching a Playstation with a Gran Turismo.
>>748307991good joke, we all know steamgroids don't buy games, they either pirate them or steal a copy through a shady cdkeys credit card fraud site
>>748308312It's funny how much doomposting narratives we had before the switch 2 launch>the switch 2 joycon connector will easily break>nintendo will brick your console and take away your games>NSO is going to get a price increase because of gamecube games>The switch 1 games can't be played unless you buy the switch 2 editions>Switch 2 doesn't come with a dock>Switch 2 will get a price increase because of tariffs>Switch 2 is DOA because "everyone" hates nintendo now>Mario Kart World won't sell the switch 2>750k worldwide preorders>22k Japan preorders>"Wii U 2">Less powerful than Steam Deck>"panic behind the scenes">360p30fps screen>Joycon connectors are easily broken>all games are $90>requires a constant internet connection>dock must be bought separately>system is bricked without day one patch>"artificial scarcity">"The Wii U sold well at first too!">"emulation will be ready day 1">Proprietary SD cards>up to 16-25 frames of on-screen ghosting in everything that isn't MK World>3-5 full seconds of input lag for most games>10x more screen lag than Steam Deck>all Switch 1 games have compatibility issues and corrupted save files>systems can be locked and banned because of "wrong" usernames>huge stick drift issues even worse than the first Switch>All games are digital codes on a cartridge>Key Cards are mandatory>system gets bricked in 10-20 years after Nintendo shuts down the servers>system gets bricked if it detects a voltage fluctuation and Nintendo will immediately call and sue youAnd on and on and on
>>748312783>It's like Sony launching a Playstation with a Gran Turismo.that makes to much sense, how about 3 movie-games about butch lesbians?
>>748312970I bought Pragmata and RE9 straight from the steam store though
Ironically enough how bing and triforce niggers keep acting is making me hope a next mainline for those games takes as long as humanly possible to come out, and when it does it's just a rehash of odyssey and totk respectively, because that's all those monkeys deserve, mostly because they will buy it anyway like the goycattle cultists they are (while somehow projecting this on "tendies that only care about baby shit like kirby and jrpgs").
And now it's the cheapest option
>>748310381>And I know people will be like "but thats an anime weeb game"anon, FF (and all SEslop) as well as segaslop (persona, yakuza etc) and crapcomslop are all ironic weeb zogfeed for normalfags, and have been since the ps2arguably SE since the ps1 with ff7
>>748312494Single player games I suppose. At least its not gaas slop like sony.
>>748313187I would love a game that's simply more Mario Odyssey.
>>748311612
>>748312494Reminder the "the software sales are bad" is cope literally made up by dring (literally paid by sony btw) by fudging the numbers and ignoring nintendo for whatever reason counts "switch 2 edition" sales as switch 1 sales.
>>748299379I was against the console price at first but the treehouse live and people trying out the switch 2 for themselves at a public event made me want to buy the MKW bundle
Remember when a guy said playing a used game bricked his console and will brick yours, and then after looking people saw like 4 posts before that he was posting about how he would try a MIG cart on the switch 2?
>>748299379You lie, YOU LIE! IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A FLOP AAAAAAAA KAZ HIRAI SAMA HELP ME! CHAD WARDEN THE PSQUINTUPPLE AIN'T ABAP (AS BAHLLA AS PAHSSIBUL)
>>748313549To this day NIGgers still keep using the NIG carts, get banned, then try pass it off as nintendo banning used games before admitting it was a NIG cart.Sometimes you do get the legitimate false positive where a rando does in fact get banned by an used game, but they always get told the cart was NIGged and all they have to do is call nintendo to get the ban undone in a few minutes and for the ban to hit the actual rom rip monkey.
Is the Pro controller good? Joy-Cons tire my hands out
Proof that the internet is just a very vocal minority.
>>748313763Yes and no. It feels nice and is comfortable but the sticks will drift eventually and the d-pad sucks and does misinputs.
>>748300928/thread
>>748313763It feels great. I like it a lot more than the PS5 controller.
>>748313867>but the sticks will drift eventuallyforced meme, to this point there would be mass widespread reports if this were the case
>>748313549>>748313691Remember when some reddit troon claimed their 1000+ hour pokemon saves were wiped because the console transfer from switch 1 to switch 2 failed but it turns out OP didn't even own a switch 2 and was just making shit up? Journos didn't bother to report that it was misinformation, they just continued pushing the narrative that nintendo was apparently bricking people's consoles for "no reason". Also, notice how all of the reporting were from reddit?
>>748299379Yes. I've been laughing the whole time. People are stupid.
>>748308312>The amount of doomposting the switch2 got was insane. Anyone remember the 24/7 threads about joycons breaking?I wouldn't go as far as to say they can break and I do believe the doomposting was unnecessary, but there's legit worry about it, the magnet is strong, yes, and it's been tested multiple times already, nobody as of now managed to snap their joycons like your pic describes, but it's not immune to torque and the connector can get bent if you have a habit of holding it with one hand by the joycon>t. have a cousin who is having contact issues with his right joycon after holding his unit one handed in multiple instances (either to pick on his nose or do something else with his other hand)
>>748314003All controllers drift eventually. It just remains to be seen if it's 1 year, 5 years, it 10 years. There haven't been many reports of the Switch 2 Pro Controller drifting so far but there's always a chance.
>>748299379>Remember when there was a huge movement to boycott the Switch 2no
>>748314227>All controllers drift eventuallyfalse, TMR and HAL never drift because they're magnetic
>>748299379And it workedNo one bought this shit
>>748314576I would've bought it if you know... it had any games, but as it stands the switch 2 is just a PS5, I'll be gladly waiting for the Steam Deck 2, even if it's more expensive, I'll inherit all of my Steam library so it pays off
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQAuvWorQA8This is the mind of the average subhuman who shits on Nintendo btw
>>748313021You forgot that one cope the schizo would spam threads about everyday >According to ANAL-yst, switch 2 won't have exclusives for a while because nintendo is not ready to move on from the switch1's massive install base. Games like Mario Kart World and DK bananza are also going to be on switch 1 because....they look like switch 1 games
>>748314576Fastest selling console of all time
>>748314786>The deck can do everything the Switch 2 can at the same pricedeckekes actually believe this
>>748313397>nintendo doesn’t count switch 1 games as switch 2 gamesNo shit. I have no idea why tendies do though.
>>748314576I bought it, so you're objectively wrong.
>>748314786He’s right tho
>>748314991Can you even buy the Deck nowadays? Hasn't it been out of stock for months because they needed to focus on the GabeCube?
>>748315082Not even in the slightest
>>748307982To this day, they call whatever exclusive they can't deny is a hit a $600 game. It's such naked sour grapes.
