*** The Official Nintendo Switch 2 ***

[TNA]

I was super excited about the Switch. But it just did not get enough use as it was for first party games only which sometimes tookages to come out. Pretty sure at one point I did not play it for well over a year.

This time will wait 5 years or maybe even until their next console to pick it up. Will be cheaper and no waiting for games.

Also I really wanted to see F Zero and a PunchOut game which they never made which was disappointing.

Into the last 24 hours where you can earn gold coins.

Hate all that expiring stuff. I think i got some but can't be asked.

I will never buy digital stuff on a console again I think.

No way I can wait that long. Also this might be my last home console purchase, I'm getting old lol.

I can wait as I can't even keep up with my games on Steam

Another thing that put me off was I did not enjoy the last Zelda they made. The first one I enjoyed quite a bit.

Maybe I will revisit it some day. Sometimes it take some games longer to get into.

So it seems you'll be able to pre-order on the 2nd of April which is pretty cool. I have to get mine from Amazon but curious where else you'll be able to pre-order from.

I’ll be amazon as well.

Feels like there's few other places to order these days, Nintendo direct as well I guess; don't you get a better warranty on Switch 1 hardware direct with Nintendo? (2 years v 1)

 

[Fonz-Valo]

I'll be aiming to buy mine directly, i'm really hoping there is an requirement to have Nintendo Online to make a purchase to curb the scalpers at least a little bit.

 

[xaldub]

Will probably go with Amazon, as I have Prime and a major distribution hub near me. Failing that, I'll buy directly from the Nintendo storefront.

 

[robj20]

Will be Amazon for me as well.

 

[uvarvu]

Shop-To were running a reservation system when the announcement went up but I didn’t sign up. Not sure who I’ll order with if at all.

Just in case anyone does not know. The Switch 2 Nintendo Direct on the 2nd of April starts at 2pm BST.

I'll be there with a big tub of popcorn and my credit card on standby for pre-ordering

Same. I'll put my pre-order in as soon as I possibly can.

 

[Shaolin Chicken]

Signed up to the Shopto to register interest in the Switch 2 , paid my penny. Hopefully I am able to get a preorder.
Should look good on my new OLED TV

 

[Minstadave]

I'm hoping for a remake of Zelda A Link to the Past in the Echoes of Wisdom engine, 1080P @60. Throw in new versions of 1080 Snowboarding, Wave Race and Starfox and my credit card will be in tears

Isn't the Echoes of Wisdom engine the same garbage one used for Links Awakening with frame drops everywhere?

Yes, but that's down to the Switch being underpowered, the Switch 2 will be able to run it at 4K 60 locked

Hopefully many similar titles will see a locked 60fps ( or at least a 40 fps VRR mode ) with the new console. That said, I still found Echoes to be a fun game despite the occasional frame rate drops on the overworld map.
