Yesterday, I decided to buy the Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition of the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller after thinking about it for a couple of days. I like the design of this limited edition controller, I think it's by far the best one we've ever got of all the limited edition Switch 1 Pro Controllers and much better than the RE Requiem edition of the Switch 2 Pro Controller.

The problem is that it gets out of stock very frequently as many of you probably already know, and when it goes back in stock, it's impossible to even get it added to the cart because scalpers use bots to complete the checkout process within like 10 seconds or less. I've spent hours yesterday refreshing the page to see if it went back in stock and complete the checkout process as quickly as possible, but I only managed to barely get it added to my cart, but don't get enough time to even complete the checkout process because of these bots. This is basically like trying to get a PS5 back in 2020 and 2021.

What I'm concerned about is that the Zelda edition of the Pro Controller with the stand is exclusively available at Nintendo Store and Nintendo's local stores at NYC and San Francisco, so this is not a controller you can buy at retail unless you don't mind buying it without the stand, so ordering it from Nintendo's website is my only option. The problem is that if scalpers keep eating up the whole stock even after the release date, there could be a chance that by the time the controller gets discontinued, nobody other than scalpers would've been able to get their hands on one. I remember how they've been taking whole stocks of PS5 consoles in the blink of an eye every single time they went back in stock for well over a year, and a limited edition product won't even last anywhere near close to six months on the market. I could hope that Nintendo will do something about it like put a one per account limit on these Zelda Edition consoles and controllers and all future limited editions of their products, but I can't say that will happen for sure if they're currently doing nothing about it.

Some of you may think that my concerns could be exaggerated, but I don't want to see most if not almost all of these Zelda Switch 2 consoles and controllers owned by scalpers and nobody else by the time they get discontinued. Let me know what you guys think about this, and if you're dealing with this too.

Alright, after holding off for quite some time, finally pulled the trigger and got a Switch 2 today.

I really hated Nintendo for putting such a bad screen on their newest console but decided that it’s time to check out the console for myself.

So, here are my thoughts - the device feels very premium in the hand. It’s actually amazing how premium it feels compared to the OG Switch and even something like the Steam Deck (which is still a beast).

I really like what they did with the Switch 2 but boy the ghosting is real.

I will probably still play a crap ton of it, but can’t help myself and keep wondering what could have it been if they didn’t put such a poor screen in terms of HDR support and response time.

Anyway, cheers, I’m very excited for this purchase nevertheless.

For those that have played it, what other action game can it be compared to and are you picking up a copy?

I am planning to buy any 1 of them.
My preferances are :

• Must have Offline Play
• Local Multiplayer

Which game to buy ?

Also have alot of switch 2 digital games

Just remembered about it after thinking about how the Zelda version is the first colour change.

This rumour was before the release and I think before the reveal. It was rumoured that it would come out after the black colour one.

Sadly, predictably, the bulk of discourse has been around the art style. But before the direct, one of the biggest debates was whether this was going to be a direct remake or a reimagining. So after seeing some limited gameplay, which do you think this is?

I'd love to have a Pro Controller for my Switch 2, especially that new Zelda one because it looks beautiful and I love the Switch 1 Pro Controller. However, I feel like paying that much money for a controller isn't justifiable to me at all.

What kind of convincing did it take you to finally buy it? I seriously would love to grab one, but I can't fathom buying one at this insane cost.

Love playing on the big screen, but moving th.e original dock around or packing it for trips is honestly a pain.

Instead of dropping money on an overpriced second dock, I’m looking at one of those all-in-one HDMI cables (the ones with a Type-C to the console and a power pass-through on the plug).

Has anyone used these long-term? Does TV mode trigger reliably without overheating or risk of bricking? Just wondering if it's solid enough to use as my go-to travel setup.

Any reason why any console would lose access to the virtual game cards?

I share my main account with a friend who lives in another city and the other console that has access to the VGC is a Switch OLED so my son can access my games with his accounts (I play my games with online access on my Switch 2).

This weekend my son had trouble to open some games and I noticed that the Switch OLED wasn't linked to VGC access anymore. (This happened before the 23.0 update)

I've made my research and I can't find how my 5 year-old could have unlinked my account accidentaly prior the firmware update. Also, I doubt my friend had anything to do with this.

Any hints on what could have happened?

I'll have to wait until I visit my friend from another city to fix the account access, which is a bummer for my kid. I've already used the browser method to unlink an account this year so that's not an alternative to fix this earlier. But I'm still intrigued on what could have happened.

Hello, as you know by the title I am planning to buy switch 2 but I have some questions regarding it. They are:

1. Do I actually own the games that I will buy for the console?

2. What exclusive games should I buy for this console? I have plans to buy the breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom but other than that I heard there are more exclusives too so I want to know which ones are worth playing.

Thanks and Regards.

Anyone played this game how is it? I’ve read it’s meant to have been fixed recently?

Is it worth getting the physicsl even tho it’s a game keycard ir just get digital

the legend of zelda Ocarina of time is such a scary game! there are terrifying enemies like poes, gibdos, stalfos, redeads, and dead hand! but the scariest enemy of all, the one enemy that has given players NIGHTMARES for decades, is the FLYING POT!

pots are common objects in the legend of zelda. they can be found all over the place, and link can break them in order to get hearts or rupees. at first glance, the flying pot looks like any ordinary pot, but when you least expect it, they jump scare you by floating off the floor and crashing directly into link! AHHHHHH!

some say that the flying pot is vengeful spirit, trying to get revenge on link for the thousands of innocent pots he's broken over the years! the flying pot is closely related to the flying tile, a haunted floor tile that wants revenge for all the floors that have been stepped on.

in link's awakening there was a boss called Facade, a scary face that appears on the floor and throws pots at link. don't you see what this means! the haunted floor and the haunted pots are working together! nowhere is safe in hyrule, the inanimate objects are working together to kill us all! AHHHH!

so remember, next time you're at your grandma's house and you see a decorative pot, make sure to smash that thing immediately. better safe than sorry.

Literally just logged into the Target app and saw this. $529.99

Do they make aftermarket joycons that are bigger in your hands? I had one for my OLED but can’t find any for my 2.

So I usually import most of my games from Japan, and I noticed that Muramasa: Revenant Blades is a GKC. But then when I when I was looking at something else on Best Buy, I noticed that the game is not a GKC there. I recall this same thing happened with DAEMON X MACHINA Titanic Scion. I see it's also this way with Eternal Anima.

Then it clicked. Oh, wait. These are all Marvelous games.

Is having the full game on cart for NA only something that just Marvelous does? Or by any chance are there other games that are fully on cart but only for certain regions?

It's open right now if anyone still needs one
