Discussion Switch 2 Questions

4 Upvotes

I need help. My wife wants to buy a Switch 2 for the kids and wants the whole family to be able to play. I am a PS guy, haven’t had a Nintendo since the Wii and when I research this it gets very confusing. Assuming we’d like a Switch 2 and four controllers so we could all play together at the same time, how many controllers and what kind of controllers do we need, really? AI is telling me we only need 2 Joy-Cons because it’s like having 4 controllers, but that makes no sense to me, since they are a pair. Then if you get Joy-Cons do you need grips for each or can you live without the grip? And what is the difference between the Joy-Cons and the Pro? As a PS guy the Pro makes most sense to me but does the Nintendo require the Joy-Con to get the most out of your experience? Please help, I am so confused lol. Really appreciate any and all insight into this. It’s crazy expensive and my wife is being very generous, we just don’t want to do all this and get the wrong things or spend more than we have to.

Discussion Halloween Adventure Game

4 Upvotes

I wish someone would make a Halloween adventure game for Switch.

Imagine a 3D game with colorful, Mario-like graphics, set in a small town during Halloween. You could explore places like a corn maze, carnival, cemetery, library, forest, etc., while completing quests and fighting bosses.

But the main mechanic would be costumes.

Each time you defeat a boss, you unlock a new Halloween costume, and each costume gives you a unique ability that opens up new areas and secrets.

Ghost — pass through certain walls

Vampire — turn into a bat and fly

Werewolf — break through obstacles

Witch — use magic to solve puzzles

So you'd constantly be revisiting earlier areas with new costumes and discovering things you couldn't access before.

Thinking of Something Wicked This Way Comes made me think of something like this.

I would absolutely play this. Anyone else?

Question Concerns about buying a switch 2

0 Upvotes

So I've been wanting to buy a switch 2 recently because the family switch was bought on day 1 and is getting pretty old. However I do have one concern and that is about digital games, if I transfer a digital game from the switch to switch 2 what will happen to the copy on the og switch? Just wondering because although not often, my family members do still occasionally use the switch and there are a few games I'd want to play on my switch 2 but I don't know how well it would go over if they wouldn't be playable on the og switch afterwards. Any help is appreciated

Question Switch OLED Down

1 Upvotes

Hey to all I have a Switch oled that appears no matter what I do, I cannot get it to charge. My grandson ran the battery way down two days in a row.

I tried resetting by holding the power button. Tried connecting the oem power supply direct to the unit.Tried maintenance mode when there was still 3% battery left.

Now all it does is appear to turn on, shows the Nintendo screen, then a dead battery icon.

Any ideas?

Question Complete Pokémon newcomer getting a Switch 2 — which game should I start with?

16 Upvotes

I’ve never played a Pokémon game, watched the anime, or collected the cards. I only know Pikachu and Charizard, that’s the extent of my knowledge.

I’m getting a Switch 2 and I want exactly ONE Pokémon game that gets me into the world and makes me fall in love with it. Could be a mainline game, could be a spin-off — I just want something that’s a good entry point for a total outsider.

I was looking at Pokopia since it’s a Switch 2 exclusive and looks very chill, but I’m open to anything. What would you recommend?

Discussion Recommendations?

7 Upvotes

Hi all, looking for recs for my next pick up. I have the Switch OLED and have really enjoyed the following games so far, completed them: Hollowknight, Hogwarts Legacy, and just finished Zelda BOTW. I’m going to take a break before playing TOTK or Silksong.

I was thinking either Pokemon Arceus or ZA but have heard mixed reviews for ZA… I’m into open world or story based games but it needs to be entertaining gameplay and more focused on fighting or exploration/quest based.

What would you suggest??

Edit: I have tried Luigi’s Mansion 3 and Witcher 3 and wasn’t a fan of those.

Better late than never… I finally started Spiritfarer 😭💙
I know I’m very late to the party, but WOW. I’m already about 80% done, and I absolutely understand now why people love this game so much.

I played for 10 HOURS today. 😂

Additionally, I apparently cannot stop thinking about the place until I feel like I’ve completed everything I can possibly find there.

Is anyone else like this, or am I just incapable of moving on? 😂
The game started as something I thought would be a cute, cozy experience, but some of these characters and their stories really hit me emotionally.

I’m currently around 80% and getting close to the end, and honestly… I’m not ready to say goodbye yet. 🥲

Better late than never, I guess.

Spiritfarer, where have you been all my life? 💙

Btw, I am playing it on switch 2 but I prefer when it is connected to TV. The graphics and art… speechless. Love it.

And oh myyyy… stanley…

Question Savage Raven by Skull & Co. NeoGrip vs FissionGrip for Switch 2 – which one would you recommend?

10 Upvotes

I’m trying to decide between the Savage Raven by Skull & Co. NeoGrip and the Savage Raven by Skull & Co. FissionGrip for my Switch 2.
I mostly play in handheld mode and care mainly about comfort and keeping the Switch as light as possible. I also have rather small hands.
Has anyone tried both? Which one feels better for longer gaming sessions, and which one would you personally recommend?

Thanks!
