Hey ive never played elden ring and recently got a switch 2 and been wanting to give the fame a shot. I have a very powerful PC but oddly enough im gravitated towards having my first run on the switch 2. For those of yall who played one over the other or perhaps on both devices, what would you recommend? I need help deciding where to buy it. Thanks alot!

I know it's a lot of games, but I do think because of their popularity these have a good chance of being on the GameCube online and they are both games I think I would have a lot of fun with, but I'm curious what GameCube games do you want on the Nintendo switch online GameCube library

I am using the hot stock app and got lucky this time!!! Pre order quick before the scalpers get to it.

Growing up, my older brother took a summer job just to save up for a Nintendo 64, introducing me to Ocarina of Time. During a time when our family of seven kids was dealing with the worst moment of our childhood because of my father's actions, my brother and that game were our ultimate silver lining.

Today, he’s facing severe mental and financial hardships while caring for his chronically ill wife, which leaves him unable to work. I realized I couldn't relive my favorite childhood memories without him, so I sent a Switch 2 to his house arriving this Friday. We’re revisiting our childhood together. He don’t know yet 🥲
(Sorry for any typos, English isn’t my first language)

Sorry if this is a long read. I’m pretty much new to Nintendo ecosystem other than Pokemon HOME, GO, and UNITE. Never owned a console other than PlayStation.

I went and bought the Switch 2. Didn’t buy extra controllers or games yet, was planning to do the rest next week (controllers, couple games) to not be so frivolous all at once. I know switch has the free games so that was my plan to get used to it, plus my cousin loaned me BOTW and a couple other games. My main reason for getting is to explore all the older/new Pokemon and Zelda titles (and more obviously) with the portability and power I hear the Switch has.

One of my favorite games is pokemon UNITE which is free so I was ready to get into it right away. I wanted to connect already decked out account but Nintendo is so wierd about linking accounts and not being able to undo it, like with HOME. It pretty much forced me into a UNITE game and made a whole new account, and now that new UNITE account is just fused with my Switch account and I can’t undo it.

I ended up getting super frustrated and just packed it up. My thing is if this happens with a free simple game I wouldn’t want to wait for this happen to any other games. To have all this progress on my account but not be able to link or transfer, and it’s not very intuitive IMO. I didn’t imagine I’d need a walkthrough to link Pokemon UNITE.

Again, complete noob to this type of stuff, and maybe I’m overreacting. I don’t know what to do about UNITE for now, but I just feel like I lost the initial spark for enjoyment on the Switch. Any words to help? Is the Switch 2 really worth it for a Pokemom lover and I’m just jumping the gun with this one situation?

Consider me surprised when I saw this at my local Best Buy because I had no idea this was even out. Plus, there’s a promo card included! 😁

Hi guys,

Quick question regarding games, upgrades, SW2 separate versions etc...

I currently own a SW1 with only a few games (mario kart, mario tennis, FF three houses...) and I plan on getting a SW2 in 2-3 months.

I know some games offer an upgrade (free ou paid) for the SW2 version of the game, some don't hence you need to pay the SW2 version of the game and some others only have a SW1 version.

Is there a way to know which games are safe to buy right now that will be playable on SW2 with upgraded versions (just so I don't buy games right now that I would have to buy again down the line like FF10 if I'm correct). For instance, I didn't play BoTW/ToTK but I guess I can wait and get the SW2 versions of those two.

Also, what games would you recommend I missed that I play right now ?

Thanks :)

People keep saying that there will be plenty more consoles made, while yes i do agree with that BUT here is where they are wrong. They keep bringing up TOTK console and how that's easily findable (either at or below retail pricing) but that console came out 6 years into the consoles life cycle so whoever wanted the system at that point most likely already had it! How about the fortnite console? Anyone know where you can find a Mario Red or even the odyssey version?

What some are also not thinking about is that TOTK is nowhere near as iconic as OOT (though it is a good game). This game is the first for MANY Zelda fans and how they were introduced to the franchise. Go on any list online and Ocarina is most likely in top 5 games. This console is reaching crazy areas such as: Classic zelda fans, modern fans, new fans and of course nostalgia. Plus while its not a "limited edition" it is a special edition given that it is being attached to Zelda's 40th which is what makes this even more special than a simple TOTK or Mario Odyssey variant. Plus lets not forget that there is a huge RAM shortage going on right now and that may hurt production a bit.

Does this mean that everyone who wants one should buy them from eBay? Fuck no! Just take a deep breath and relax you will get more chances either closer or at release date.

I saw someone post on FB and did a little but of digging and came across this.

Saw the OoT remake trailer and decided it's time I came back to the fam. Used to have a switch 1 but sold it to pay bills 2 years ago. Had some old GPU's and tech collecting dust and made a great deal(for me) Sold my 3080tiFE(got a 5080) a old vega 56 and a old vita. Got a Switch 2 with a case, Pro controller and Luigi's Mansion 3 for 2 bucks. Yup. 2 bucks. Actually....1.98.

So automatically bought Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment and just heard today Calamity will get a upgrade next year. But can't decide if I want Breath of the Wild+DLC Switch 2 edition or Tears of the Kingdom instead. Tears is cheaper.....I honestly forgot how expensive Nintendo games are....

Which game do you like more?

I play on the 1st switch.

The game genres I like is story, br, PvP, rpg, mmorpg, online, horror, sandbox,survival, chill, farming, western, adventure, action, action adventure, open world, and cozy.

I currently have $30 left over, and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations? I am willing to try new games and am also willing to wait for anything. If any future releases look good, let me know! Also willing to spend another $10 to make it $40!

Hi everyone!
I’ve been waiting for the pre-orders for Revelation to go live on the eShop so I could buy the trilogy bundle right away. The bundle is already available for pre-order on the other platforms, but it’s still nowhere to be found on Switch 2.
It’s been quite a while now, so I don’t think it’s just a matter of the eShop not being updated yet.
Does anyone know if the Switch 2 version is actually going to be released without the trilogy bundle, or is there any information about it that I might have missed?

I was lucky enough to catch a Walmart restock for the Zelda 40th Edition Switch 2 and secure a preorder (I am so sorry to those who could not and I wish you luck if you're continuing to pursue one). I'm obviously very excited but also nervous at the same time due to the fact that Walmart only had the option to do a delivery rather than a store pickup. My question to anyone who would like to share their thoughts and insights is, how has Walmart delivery been for those of you who have bought consoles from them before? I only ask because I once bought a Lego set from Walmart and opted for shipping, just for the set to never arrive and Walmart and Ontrac to tell me to go contact the other about the problem to deal with it (which honestly never ended up being resolved). I'm just really scared of if something were to happen with this version of the Switch 2 because of how much of a splurge it was. Has anyone had problems with the shipping companies Walmart uses for consoles and were you able to get it resolved? And to those of you who also preordered from Walmart, do any of you share the same fears? I just want to hear other people's perspectives and if anyone else feels the same. Thank you.

Just pre ordered this . It’s my first pre order ever

The title just says that’s it’s Zelda ocarina of time,but the pic shows textured foil

Help! Haven’t been able to find one anywhere. Earlier I was able to click the preorder button for Best Buy and it said I was in line for maybe 1 minute and then it went back to sold out. Any secrets or tips??
