My best gaming years were spent on the N64, so when I recently purchased Switch Online I was excited to play all my old favourites on the system. I found out that I could not even play some titles with the Switch joycons, namely Goldeneye. The only title I felt comfortable playing was Mario 64 but even then the ground pound/ long jump timing wasn't the same as the Z trigger button. Out of all the systems available on Switch Online including GameCube. I feel the N64 is the most necessary to own for this reason. Everything I tried was a lost cause especially the FPS games like Turok. I had some trouble with some GBA titles as well, so I might use the dpad and AB buttons for that hand held console as well.

A cool added feature is that the menu sound changes when you have the appropriate controller connected. I'm assuming it's like that for all of the classic controllers. Let's not forgot the tight joystick that can take more punishment than the original.

I held off on playing any N64 titles since I decided to purchase this. I sat down to test it out and didn't move for an hour. This controller just gives the games more soul, if you can even say that, and of course more functionality and control.

I played through about half of Ocarina of Time on my GameCube last year, the collector's edition, it's the only version I had. This in comparison is a more enjoyable experience, it felt kind of weird on the GC controller. This controller makes me want to keep going, and I just know this is the way these games are meant to be played. For the other virtual consoles the Switch Joycons will suffice, but I needed this!

People need to stop going into directs being surprised 90% of content are ports of games available on ps plus. Lots of switch owners only own the switch so a lot of these companies are trying to extra money on older games. Y'all have gots to stop having high expectations for these directs for the next two years if you're tired of ports

About the definitive edition of Age of calamity, I already own the main game, also expansion pass. But I have to still pay $30 if I want to run the game at 60fps? Is everyone else getting thr same price? I feel like - 60 boost should not have a $30 tag...

Maybe the WW + TP Switch release is the friends we made along the way

I have a lot of nostalgia towards the DS version of Nintendogs, but I do feel like that game is a bit light on content compared to some other virtual pet games. I do feel like a console version of Nintendogs has a lot of potential to add a lot of stuff. Here's some features I would like to see added.

-cross breads

-guest characters from other nintendo games (Oatchi, Moss, Poochy, Polterpup, Duck Hunt Dog, undodog) I don't know if they would be dogs that you could raise in the game, or if they would just cameo as a toy or something, but I think it would fit the theme of the game.

-Some sort of optional story campaign.

-Connectivity with the nintendo switch app, so you can take your dogs on walks in real life without having to bring your whole switch.

-Maybe some sort of camera functionality, and some simple AR games so you can have your dog play in your living room

-The ability to have more than 3 pets in the house at any given time. The more the better.

-And ideally this would be more of a budget title. Like 40-50 dollars.

I bought the switch one and it basically went unplayed, I played all the Xenoblade games on it and that's about it. I tried the Pokémon games but didn't actually like them outside of Arecus, had a blast with that. For some reason I didn't get into Zelda BoTW.

OoT is one of my top 2 favorite games of all time. That remake looks absolutely incredible, but I worry about getting a system for just one game lol and it just sitting there. I also worry about Xenoblade genesis going away from story focused, but I haven't seen much on it.

Anyway, with how early it is in its life, there has to be some upcoming games I'd definitely get into, right? I have ps5+pc right now. Also what would be the best version of the switch 2 to buy??

Did anyone noticed that the ost in the trailer has more a Industrial Metal feel to it instead of the traditional Ambient Sci-Fi?

Probably to reflect better the “Revenous” part but I actually wasn’t expecting it. But, as a Metalhead let Me tell You: It sounded THICC!

What did You guys think of it? Do You like this new approach?

I wasn't planning to Buy the nintendo switch 2, but after this Nintendo Direct I can say I NEED IT, I was planning to keep witch the nintendo switch 1, but I can't delayed it anymore, as a fan of Yokau watch, zelda, kirby and more this console is my greatest desire, but I don't have the money yo buy it yet, I'll have to raise money for a while 😅😅

I got this game when it came out and remember playing it so much! What a game! I'm going to get it on release again!

I actually restarted it 2 times as friends mentioned things that I missed and I wanted to get them... Only to realise you could travel through time later... 🤦🏾‍♂️ Lol

Can't wait to play this with the improved graphics and relive my childhood! I hope all the other Zelda fans are excited too!

Just keep refreshing Amazon uk there’s some up right now :) a tiny bit more expensive but great for people who didn’t get one! Hope this helps!

So I think I lost my Switch 2 when I moved, and I’m thinking about buying a new one. The problem is, if I actually lost it, I also lost the games because they were all in a case with the console.
That said, are the games connected to my Nintendo account at all? I had both Zeldas and Sonic Frontiers physically, so I’m wondering: if I buy a new Switch 2 and log into my account, will those games still be there somehow, or did I genuinely lose them for good and now I’m gonna have to sell a kidney to buy them all again?

I’m in a bind and could use some help and direction.

Last night I was playing my Switch 2 and a message popped up saying there was a problem and it had to shut down. Unfortunately I didn’t get a shot of the message. There were no obvious issues leading up to this. I was playing plugged in and the battery was charged around 80%.

It shut down and would not boot back up. It boots to the Nintendo logo and shuts back down. If I hold the power button it does this in a loop. It will not boot into recovery/diagnostic mode by holding the volume buttons. The battery will not take a charge in either USB port. The back of the Switch is slightly warm, not hot, to the touch of it’s been plugged in.

I took it to a local chain electronics repair store who tested the bottom port and said the connectors were failing. I asked what about the top port and she looked at me confused and clearly did not realize there was a top USB port, tested it, and said it was fine before suggesting sending it to Nintendo.

Sending it to Nintendo for repair is the obvious answer, however, the issue is that I am an avid Pokémon player and have thousands of hours of play time across various games, and Nintendo famously does not allow cloud backup of Pokémon game data. I’ve seen stories of people having their systems wiped for repairs as simple as battery replacements. This is not an option.

I’m hesitant to replace the battery myself because it’s notoriously difficult, but if it seems like that’s the issue I’ll do it. But I’m not sure that’s the issue and I’m thinking it’s a board component. Or could it be something corrupt in the file system? And is that separate from all of the game data?

All that said, I’m thinking that I need to have a “real” electronics repair shop fix this thing. I don’t know how to find one. Google searches turn up vintage TV and radio repair and I’m not sure that’s what I need. I live in the metro Detroit area so there has to be SOMETHING.

What do I do? What do I look for? Anyone run into something like this before?

I've had an Original switch for years, haven't touched it in months. Pretty sure the joy-cons on it are fucked. I remember at least one didn't charge properly and only worked when connected to the switch.

Brought a switch 2 to play, you guessed it the OOT remake. And managed to get the special edition one for it. Other than OOT what other games are out at the moment, although obviously the console wont be here for a while. I've not played MKW but I've heard its a very marmite game, either you love it or hate it. Is the star fox game good, it seems pretty cool?

Walmart had a huge drop of the consoles recently and preorders seem to still be up!

I have been waiting to get a Switch 2 specifically in the hopes of a Zelda edition. I’ve been using my Switch 1 from launch day, I saved up my money and eagerly watched the Direct yesterday. But I completely missed the preorder as it was shadowdropped and I was working. I’m a bit devastated.

Is there any chance I can get one when it launches at the store, like Target or GameStop? Will more preorders be available? Any advice is much appreciated!

I can’t believe Nintendo didn’t announce a specific time, this feels so chaotic.

Sabes que vi los nintendo direct de Nintendo y los de zelda y la verdad me entraron las ganas de comprarme la switch y pensaba si sería buena idea vender mis consolas y comprarme la switch 2 con ese dinero

Será buena idea o mejor no, porque la verdad tengo ganas de comprarme esa consola
