Did you get a Switch 2?

Poll of the Day » Did you get a Switch 2?
I ended deciding that I didn't really need/want one yet, as DK isn't even out yet and so far, that's best looking Switch 2 exclusive. The game comes out next month, so maybe I'll get one then, but I'm in no hurry. If I don't get one for DK, then I'll likely wait even longer until there's some game that's exclusive that I must play.

No, I'm a nihilistic asshole who's dead inside and who therefore cannot be emotionally shaken out of the dissociative stupor by pretty much anything these days, least of all a game console, which will serve only to remind me of what used to make me happy in days long past, but which fails to, thereby reminding me that I've changed. At times I wonder if I was ever happy back then. Maybe I was just pretending so that I didn't need to deal with the child abuse I had to suffer back then. Maybe it was genuine. Either way, I don't really want any reminders of a past that is honestly better left forgotten. I don't even want to enjoy myself as I either used to, or used to pretend to. In any case, I'm just too busy for video games these days. I have coding projects I've been slacking on. I have writing that must be done. I have a traumatic past haunting me, inhibiting my ability to function in the real world. I couldn't give less of a damn about whatever 'Next-New-Thing' comes my way, because everything just looks the damned same to me anyway. It's all a hassle to deal with. It's not worth the effort. Barely anything is these days.

No, I have zero interest in tech gadgets.

No, I enjoy playing games on my existing system. It would take a truly stellar lineup of exclusives to justify the hassle of buying a new console at this point.
And with that... pow! I'm gone!
Not yet. Maybe I'll get one when DK Bananza releases.

If I find one out in the wild I might pick it up tho

I've never had any interest and likely never will.

But it might be worth noting that my friend who bought three Switches for his kids (between the ages of 8-16) told me yesterday he has no plans to buy a Switch 2 at all because his kids barely ever played the Switch when they had it (he eventually sold two of them, and only kept the third for himself to occasionally play Mario Kart).

His oldest kid mostly plays on her Playstation, the middle kid favors the Xbox, and both the youngest two play a lot of games on tablet.

No, but I'll be casually looking for one in the coming weeks (mostly just popping in to Best Buy/Gamestop/Walmart whenever I'm in their respective neighbourhoods for groceries). MK alone isn't enough to justify buying a whole system, but enough games are coming down the pipe that will be and it's not like there's likely to be a meaningful price drop in the next year, so I don't really feel any reason not to get it sooner and start playing MK.

Yeah, I'm not big on Mario Kart and with DK not being a launch title, there's little incentive for me to get one.

If the upgrades for the Zeldas weren't paid that would've been a bit more incentive to get one, but they are, so it's a disincentive. I don't even know what they're actually charging for. Afaik, all they added was some stupid phone integration malarkey and no actual game content.

The big things the phone integration offers are Autobuild sharing (for TotK) and some extra bits of lore (for both). The latter, I'm sure you'll be able to find transcripts of within the week (if not already), the former might be helpful if you like dicking around with big contraptions. Otherwise it's mostly just substantial performance improvements.

By and large, I agree that it's not really worthwhile, but they're also included for free with the NSO expansion pack. I wouldn't say that they sell that subscription on their own, but if you're already using it for the GC games or whatever, I'd consider them a nice perk.

I refuse to pay to play online. All 3 of the console manufacturer's can kick rocks where that's concerned. In general I avoid subscriptions. I think Nintendo is the cheapest, even with the expansion pass included, but I don't want to support it. I know it's a lost cause at this point, but I'll stick to my guns and not give them money for something that should just be available. Thankfully f2p games exist, so I can always play those online if/when I get the itch for competition.

If they'd decouple the online gaming portion from their subscription services, that'd honestly make me consider them more tbh. Unfortunately MS was able to make too much money off of paid online gaming and had Sony and then Nintendo follow.

Not right now. When more games are out for the system I probably will. It took me a while before I got the switch for the same reason. I also have many games I still want to play on that system.

You can play your Switch games on Switch 2, it's nice that it has backwards compatibility. It's one of the reasons I've been looking to get the Switch games I still want for the system. Still have like 4 more games I definitely want to get and a few more that I'll get if the price is right.

I'll wait until I have any reason to... but mario kart world actually looks kind of cool.

Maybe nintendo just has to add a twist to all their formulas for me to care again.

Did Pikmin 3 or 4 get any kind of graphics or performance upgrade?

I am waiting for Daemon Ex Machina Titanic Scion or Metroid Prime 4.

There were 4 switch 2 games on launch. Welcome Tour (Which you bafflingly have to pay for), Fast Fusion, Survival Kids and Mario Kart World. The only one anyone cares about is MK World and from what I've seen it is pretty underwhelming.

From what I understand, anything that was kind of chugging a bit on the Switch 1 runs notably better on the Switch 2 (at least first-party stuff, since some third-party games don't necessarily emulate smoothly) and looks a bit cleaner. I can't speak for either Pikmin, given that I still haven't gotten around to playing 4, but assuming 3 runs anything like it did on the WiiU (where I didn't notice any particular issues), I don't know that there'll be an appreciable difference there.

For the price of a single switch 2, which has only a few games for it right now, which is barely better than the og switch, which isn't even a good console to begin with - you could get like 15 dildos, some Wendy's, rent a movie off of Amazon, and still have money left over for a game from Steam. The latter option is clearly superior.

I feel that you kinda need 15 holes to get the best use of 15 dildos.

If you're getting 15 dildos for $400, you should maybe consider treating your holes better.

Yeah his job is a tech YouTuber

He got downvote bombed, then he came out and apologized sincerely for 40 minutes, and I'm like, there's a genocide going on in gaza

This is why I stopped watching Review tech USA, because grown adults should be crying about real problems

Yeah I agree. Grown adults should only ever care about Gaza and nothing else.

Maybe they shouldn't get upset about a grown man buying a kid's toy and act like political revolutionaries doing activism. No one involved here has seen grass in years.

Spending hours of your day regularly getting the most upset about video game politics is just about the darkest place you can be.

Yeah definitely. Pewdiepie should get all 90 million of his bot subscribers to go save Gaza.

From now on, whenever Yellow complains about literally anything, we should all just tell him it doesn't matter because people are dying in Gaza and therefore all of his petty concerns are meaningless.

Actually, now that I think about it, how is he even here posting on this site? All of the money he spent buying a phone/tablet/PC and paying for electricity and Internet service is money he could have donated to a charity to help Gaza. Every post he makes here increases the overall misery level of the Middle East. He should be ashamed of himself.

Listen... it's not so much that there are people in Gaza dying that bugs me, it's that people get mad about petty things that do not matter at all. That's probably my biggest peeve of all time. I'm not trying to "starving kids in africa" anyone.

If you stub your toe and it hurts then I am sorry + you are heard. But also Muta is a tech youtuber and he's going to buy most new products.
I'm pretty much waiting for a new 3D Mario or Zelda game before I grab one.

Just to add to this, no matter if online gaming costs, cloud save data should be FREE. MS does it and so should Nintendo and Sony. Complete BS.

yes.

as much as i don't care about being able to manually backup saves on a flash drive, because it just led to rampant cheating in every fucking game i wanted to play online, replacing it with a PAID backup is not it chief, not fucking it. i get it, storage costs money, especially when it's essentially going to be considered dead storage since it can't really be used for anything on their end and they'd be hosting granny jones who won a switch at bingo, tried to play mario, and then threw it in a box in the attic where it got forgotten about single save never used again user, they can wholly eat that cost. playstation and nintendo are not in such dire straights that a few hundred terabytes of nand flash in a nuc somewhere is going to kill them financially, and it'd lead to customer goodwill

but neither company gives a shit about customer goodwill, which is why you have to pay for shit that used to be free, which is why you can't return a digital game except as a one time courtesy you have to beg customer support for, which is why they keep restricting every single thing you can do with the product you purchased and own

I can't imagine it wouldn't. It's not exactly a secret that people loved that mode and it's not like the game is in different hands from the original. Whether or not it's as good as the original's City Trial is perhaps more of a question, but I'll be very surprised if the mode isn't there at all.

I usually want every console that comes out.... But the Switch 2 doesn't feel like a full upgrade to me... I will get it eventually, but I'm not in a rush to get one.
Maybe when they come out with a special edition.

Maybe, but, waiting doesn't have any downsides for me. I can get the Switch 2 easier and cheaper if I just wait to confirm.
I could see some executive declaring that Kirby Air Ride's main selling point was that it was a mario kart knockoff, and, to just do that again.
I don't "need" one until Prime 4, so I'm not actively seeking one out.
If I happen upon a Switch2 in a store somewhere, it's mine, but no hurry.
