Switch 2 Thread!

The GameCube NSO footage on the Treehouse video was very impressive. Definitely running at a higher resolution than the originals. F-Zero GX looks quality and basically removes the need for a remaster. Would love to see Rogue Leader on this service at some stage....

Also, looks like the N64 app will introduce fully customisable controls and a rewind feature on NS2.

Got my preorder in Smyths so relieved €61 a week for next two months then pow June 5th.

My pre-order is in yippee. Sold a few old games that I no longer play or want and got myself a cool €110 towards the Switch 2. Roll on June 5th!

I was expecting that too but with Kirby Air Riders being the next Miyamoto game I doubt it's that close. They could do it without him I guess but not sure how well that would go down.

On the topic of the Switch 1 game upgrades, I'm suprised there wasn't any for Mario Golf or Tennis. I liked both of them but felt they were a bit short on content.

It just seems like such a bizarre thing to charge for. Astro's Playroom was a dualsense showcase but plays like a proper game. Welcome Tour (from what we see in the video) looks like a tech demo you'd just as handy watch on YouTube. 90 euro for games? Im trying to think of reasons for it. Even starting to think they upped everything a bit because of Trump's tarrifs.

Have the pre-order in with Smyths, but do they ever offer trade in deals like Gamestop used to? Need to get me switch onto adverts quick smart otherwise 8)

My hope with Mario Kart is that they reveal that it will continually get updates throughout the life of the Switch 2 and part of that cost is baked in at the start. Nintendo could equally turn around and announce paid DLC though going by some of their other past decisions.

The more I see of the hardware though, it really is a massive jump over the original Switch. I can see where the price is coming from a bit more for there hardware but it's the cost of software that will bring the real pain!

It will almost definitely get updates but probably have to pay for them

I don't think so. I remember walking into Smyth's Cork launch day and just buying one off the shelf, along with BOTW.

Cost me €400 (a weeks wages at the time) but well worth it.

Looks like some Switch 2 stuff is cheaper on Amazon France.

70 for Mario Kart.

Wow 20 euro cheaper. Maybe Smyths's are chancing their arm?

I also noticed the Aussie version works out at 63 euro.

So either Smyths are having a larf or us Paddies are getting shafted once again.

Then again I remember when Street Fighter 2 on SNES came out. I think it was £65 Irish pounds in 1992. That must be €200 today.

Interesting, the Zelda games (switch 2 editions) are 60 quid on amazon.fr but 80 from Smyths. Huge difference there.

I had a feeling that might happen. Maybe we'll finally see US console prices actually come in line with EU ones…

I guess they're waiting to see if the tariffs stick and they'll have to increase the price or if Trump will remove them once he gets some surface level deal like with Canada to placate him with the tariffs last month.

While obviously outside their control, not good having to delay pre orders and have a possible price increase on the console two days after revealing it and already facing complaints about the game pricing.

If the yanks mess this up on June 5th we all collectively rent a sub and have ourselves a good old fashioned d day on June 6th wherever we land on the US east coast show Trump he has to pay
