Solid but has the issues that everyone else has had in leaving the old gen behind.

No 3D Mario

It is what we all thought it would be the Switch 2.

I expect we'll see a new 3D Mario just in time for Christmas now

That pricing has killed it a bit for me. I would probably have bit if they had a new 3D mario at launch but I will likely hold out and go second hand.

Preorder opens next Tuesday!

What is the pricing?

Sorry I meant lack of one in the presentation, but I get it. Very difficult to do globally.

Donkey Kong will do.

Hasn't been a 3D one since Donkey Kong 64.

They usually just list the US/local pricing ie. Japan pricing when they do this sort of thing.

Not hugely disappointed, not hyped, I'll take that for a Nintendo launch.

Sure was a lot of ports of stuff I've already played. I'll still be getting one though. It'll just be a Mario Kart machine for a while.

Thats still a high price for the console. What was the Switch at launch? £280? Thats a 40% increase which is a joke.

Lol have you lost track of time ?

When the switch 1 came out I could buy a Starbucks coffee £2... It's closer to £5 now

Switch1 was like 8 years ago !

 

[montymint]

I'll buy it for sure

 

[chrismscotland]

I'd like to see more 3rd party stuff (and I expect we will soon) - especially the rumoured Microsoft games (although I'd expect them to announce that themselves).

I'd also like to see more about the performance of non-upgraded games on the new hardware, ie do they launch quicker, etc.

Only caught last few mins. Anyone know pre order date ?

Apparently next Tuesday.

I feel MS will use their June event (whatever they replaced E3 with) to talk up S2 integration just ahead of launch.

Shame was hoping they'd drop it now so might be able to get a head start on some folk or the usual bots, giving a set date just means this will be a total bunfight on the day.

The OLED Switch is £309 vs the launch Switch at £280. Thats a 10% bump for an upgrade over the 8 years.

Electronics haven't increased in price by 40%. The iPhone hasn't increased in price by 40%. The PS5 was £449 at launch or cheaper if you wanted to digital.

Nintendo are just pricing it high because they know they will sell like hotcakes regardless. They are going to be making bank on the hardware as well as the games.

I was hoping you could pre-order on Amazon as I have credit there.
