It’s just the first batch, calm down…

Yes, Nintendo! Please paywall my nostalgia of the very first game console I ever played! Charge me an exorbitant price during an economic crisis to satisfy my childlike need to regress to a time before I understood what money was!

Mikrochip,

Hang on, Nintendo fans are into findom? That would explain a few things. On a related note, I think I finally understood why people keep giving Chris Roberts money for Star Citizen.

XM34,

I mean, I bought the starter ship for SC which was 40€ I believe and I still play occaisonally. I’d say I definitely got my money’s worth out of that game.

I guess they don’t want your money if you’re not buying the switch. Strange move, but I guess it’s their prerogative to alienate more consumers.

or if you can’t afford it when you get the console.

Schmoo, do games w Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console

I have the version that was made for the OG Switch and the build quality is garbage tier. Developed stick drift in both sticks in less than a month.

can, (edited )

Really? I have the Wii U ones and they put up with a lot of abuse. The rubber on some sticks have completely deteriorated but they still input accurately.

It’s honestly what’s made me so bitter about the Joy Cons.

als,

I’m intrigued to see if the new switch, with its higher price tag, lasts any longer or if it’s gimped to make consumers keep buying replacements again.

Nikls94,

Totally, my white Wii U one turned to SNES-Yellow overnight lol First the bottom half, just overnight, then two weeks later the top half.

Still going strong after 4500 hours of smashing

I bought the one they released for the Wii U and it only worked for Smash

excral,

That one was a reissue of the original GameCube controller with the original connector and everything. It works on the original GameCube and Wii and with the USB adapter that was released with it, you can use it or any other GameCube controller on the WiiU, Switch and maybe even Switch 2.

This new controller looks like a GameCube controller, but is something entirely new. It is a modern wireless controller that mimics the GameCube controller shape and button layout but won’t work on the original GameCube, at least not without some additional adapter hardware

Mr_Dr_Oink, do games w Physical Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games are reportedly Switch 1 carts with codes in the box

I expect this is true. But just to point it out…

From the article:

It’s worth noting, however, that customer service representatives are often hired by agencies that don’t have intimate, accurate knowledge of a niche issue like this

So it is entirely possible that this is not true.

Lol gimps trying to squeeze as much profit as they can get from the people

As the title suggests, this is for Switch 2 editions of Switch 1 games.

CDPR confirmed they’re shipping Cyberpunk 2077 on a 64GB cartridge.

in.ign.com/…/nintendo-switch-2-cartridge-maximum-….

Nikls94,

Definitely be getting it on cartridge then. Those new SD cards are expensive

Lost_My_Mind,

What? Like you don’t even have a few dozen 100 gizgabyte sd cards lying around! An sd card size so massive and expensive that I had to make up the new size “gizgabyte”. It’s bigger then terabyte.

Also a 100 gizgabyte sd card will hold exactly 1 copy of “New Super Mario 64 rerelease edition XL”

Now comes with Luigi DLC. When Luigi reaches bowser, he just shoots him with a gun, and goes to McDonalds despite being anti corporate interest.

baguettefish,

your name is very relevant, I must say

alehel, do games w Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console

I can’t buy any of their classic controllers here in Norway. Never understood why we were left out.

Nintendo keeps shooting themselves in the foot. On one hand, as a PCMRer and massive fan of Valve, I’m glad to see how many are open to moving over here. On the other hand, Nintendo was the last console manufacturer I actually liked (despite their anti-emulation crusade) and so it’s like a death of an era.

The future really is in console-like PCs a la the Steam Deck and Valve’s upcoming Fremont.

Bullshit. They are doing that to cause a fever of pre-orders in the US despite the tariffs. Within a year, they will be on shelves.

ouRKaoS,

Or they will be worth their weight in gold like GameCube Component cables

Nintendo pulls Switch 2 pre-orders in US over Trump tariffs

Edit: also, these will never be on shelves. They will be a membership exclusive online order regardless, even after the preorder-only window.

JoeTheSane,

Yeah, I saw that, but I read it as they were not doing them on the same date to do a wait-and-see with the Cheeto-faced shitgibbons tariffs.

can, (edited )

I believe that’s correct. And as others have pointed out this is likely an anti-scalping measure which changes my view on it.

I do however hope they will keep a good stock of them. Having to be a subscriber is annoying enough but even when I was one I was never able to be quick enough when N64 ones went back in stock.

As an early buyer of the Nintendo Switch, it’s nice to know I don’t need to budget to save up to buy the Switch 2, since I won’t be because of this.
