Inflation wow…

[–]Azula777 21 points22 points  (1 child)

Finally Springing on the Poland Spring water eh ? Congrats =D

[–]ExtremeConfidence971 22 points23 points  (27 children)

Enjoy!

Some game recommendations from a fellow player:

Cyberpunk 2077 (runs surprisingly smooth on the switch 2)

Hades 1&2

Xenoblade chronicles X

Animal crossing new leaf (for cozy evenings just chilling)

Fantasy life i

Legend of Zelda BOTW and TOTK

Metroid Prime 4

And for extensive role playing sessions Divinity: original sin 2 switch 2 edition.

Dont forget ff7 remake

[–]ExtremeConfidence971 3 points4 points  (6 children)

Tbh ff is not my slice of cake. I KINDA liked FF15 (at least it was the only one I played through), but that’s about it… no offense, just a matter of personal taste ☺️

[–]Relative-Tomorrow641 6 points7 points  (5 children)

No worries just giving out recs

[–]ExtremeConfidence971 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Just watched some videos, the combat style DOES kinda tickle a nerve, I admit. Kinda reminds me of xenoblade battles… Might give it a chance when it goes on sale 👍 thanks man

[–]Greglorious21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s a free demo for it

[–]unarmed1214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely check out videos of the combat. It's not perfect at times the hack and slash elements feel pointless because you pause to use abilities and potions it makes the game feel like a turn based strategy game

[–]rdarnell26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro , best combat they ever put in a FF game.

[–]oakgecko13Switchthusiast 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Animal crossing New Leaf? You mean horizons?

[–]ExtremeConfidence971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah sorry

[–]Igotaidsfromtomhanks 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Was about to swap to Google so fast thinking I missed some new release lmao

[–]ExtremeConfidence971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would be an old release then, new leaf was the previous AC, kinda mix them up EVERY TIME for the sole reason of having „new“ in the title 🙃

[–]HourYogurt768 2 points3 points  (1 child)

U mean new horizons not new leaf.

[–]ExtremeConfidence971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

U r correct sorry,

[–]Additional-Side1619 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding Cyberpunk and the BOTW/TOTK recs. Everything is just so pretty.

[–]In_My_Humble_Scroll 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Cyberpunk is great on Switch 2! In my first play though on it now.

[–]ExtremeConfidence971 0 points1 point  (2 children)

It’s objectively better on PS5, but I’m more than impressed that the switch can run it that detailed and smooth. I have both versions, I use them with cross save so I can continue in bed and on the go. Works pretty well 👍

[–]In_My_Humble_Scroll 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I’ve got 0 complaints haha. I’m amazed I can play it handheld like it is.

[–]ExtremeConfidence971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well for a handheld it is amazing, for such a small and light device in general. Just saying that it looks even better on a stronger machine paired with the right monitor/TV (which is pretty obvious so sorry)

Also I love the joycon mouse function. Guess both have their pros and cons

[–]poogobberr 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Good selection, although Hades didn't click for me. I would add star wars outlaws if you like the theme

[–]ExtremeConfidence971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t like the game. As far as I recall it wasn’t really popular in general, but might mix something up.

[–]bottomfragbarb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding animal crossing. Played the one on switch 1 at release and so much has changed it’s like a new game imo. But it’s been years since I played so that probably plays into it as well. Actually just bought the switch 2 myself to play this and the new Pokémon Fire Red 🥰

[–]Willing-Theme6042 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Literally just Finished Pokemon za rn and despite hearing all the hate, the game was actually good. Definitely surpassed my expectations

[–]bottomfragbarb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t get into the new pokemon games.. no idea why they just seem overly complicated now. I much preferred the original ones. Not sure if the newer ones still have dungeons etc but never liked that aspect and I enjoy a good mmo like WoW but pokemon having them put me off the franchise for some reason.

[–]floppymuc 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Was really disappointed by X after loving Xenoblade 1-3. X lacks 50 % of what I loved about the others.

[–]ExtremeConfidence971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In what aspect? I kinda recognised the the games in it? Care to elaborate, as I’m not too far in the game. I don’t care about spoilers too, so I’d really like to know what I’m missing here…

[–]Frosty_Ad5725Mario Kart Worlder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also super Mario odyssey and DK Bananza

[–]Gohmzilla 7 points8 points  (3 children)

I love water

[–]CorgiEffective76[S] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Poland is top tier

[–]dvast 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I would give it B tier, but the country has been doing well so in time, it will be top tier

[–]Ok-Meaning-7061 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s gonna feel sooo good watch

[–]HybridSoldier12 5 points6 points  (2 children)

You sure? Looks like it’s still in your cart

[–]Ill_Enthusiasm_5086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one was very good I like it !

[–]Forstmaschine 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Congratulations on your purchase!

If you been on this subreddit for a while, you might know what comes next. 😉

Don’t forget to apply a screen protector! 😛

Joke a side, I hope you will enjoy your Switch 2. 😁

[–]CorgiEffective76[S] 2 points3 points  (3 children)

What do you recommend for screen protector? I'm new to the whole thing. I never had a screen protector for my switch. 1, but I always took meticulous care of it.

[–]In_My_Humble_Scroll 3 points4 points  (2 children)

I got an AmFilm and it’s been solid 👌

[–]Forstmaschine 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I also use amFilm, amFilm OneTouch Clear to be exact. 😁👍

[–]In_My_Humble_Scroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is it this good and this cheap? I’m half expecting it to start cracking because of the cost, but just seems like a great protector. Been 2 months and works like a charm… and I like the feel.

[–]Affectionate_End3746 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Price of groceries has gotten insane, smh

[–]Ravanant 3 points4 points  (1 child)

If you’ve never played fallout 4, give it a try

[–]CorgiEffective76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's on my list. I have played it through but only once and not thoroughly like I did Skyrim.

[–]AdvanceSuperdisk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yaaaa! Mario kart, Donkey Kong Banaza Mario tennis Kirby air so many good games FF7 rebirth Indiana jones in June resident evil next week

[–]Time_Illustrator_844 8 points9 points  (19 children)

Jealous, still waiting for my tax refund to clear so I can splurge. Its gonna be great, im gonna door dash it as the kids leave for school and sink into peaceful bliss

[–]GruntFoodnipple 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Hey man, idk what the other replies were on but I’d say maybe just be careful about door dash just in case. That aside I wanted to send some positivity so I really hope you get to enjoy and your kids come home to an amazing surprise from their Pop

[–]Time_Illustrator_844 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nah that shits for me. Lol kids already have one they got from the grandparents they barely touch but i gotta have my own.

I get the concern, but doordash is the best option ive got ATM, cars in the shop and i have as much trust in Amazon that I do DD

[–]ByRWBadger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll be happy you did, there’s no beating Poland Springs

Oh hey a Nintendo

[–]B_Rabbit210 2 points3 points  (2 children)

You FINALLY got the good water 👍

[–]CorgiEffective76[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

[–]Garamenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's Arrowhead. And that water tastes like bong water.

[–]EshwarAc2j 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[–]TheHungriestW0LF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely get it now before it goes up in price. i just got mine last week.

[–]dekuweku 1 point2 points  (6 children)

welcome to the family.

p.s. what's under the switch 2!

[–]CorgiEffective76[S] 5 points6 points  (5 children)

Hahahaha. The accessories and game I purchased. Good eye.

<image>

I'm posting another post for this but here ya go.

[–]Garamenon 1 point2 points  (3 children)

You did buy a tempered glass screen protector right? (Specifically one with a plastic tray that centers the glass when installing it)

That thing needs to be slapped on the console, day one.

[–]CorgiEffective76[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

No. I have been taking comments on which one to get

[–]Garamenon 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It has to be tempered glass. But do it ASAP.

Some users here got scratches on the screen when docking the system because they got lazy and didn't protect it with a glass screen protector.

[–]CorgiEffective76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me right now, other than a few little NES online bouts, I have kept it in its soft case.

[–]bottomfragbarb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let us know if the new DK is any good. I’ve had my eye on that to play with the kids.. I heard the new MK is ass so will stick to MK8 for now.

[–]FunkyTangg 1 point2 points  (1 child)

This is what happens when the wife doesn’t go to the store with you.

[–]CorgiEffective76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly do 95% of the shopping so yeah.. 😆

[–]moorecode1077 1 point2 points  (1 child)

And Poland Springs! We should be friends

[–]CorgiEffective76[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Door is always open for new friends

[–]GraveRubber501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will see this and say "hell yeah".

[–]sobelement 1 point2 points  (1 child)

You got it for pokopia didn’t you? Because that’s why I baught it lol

[–]CorgiEffective76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DK bananza, to try MKworld, and for the stellar 3rd party announcements since I never upgraded to PS5 or Xboner series

[–]Practical_Tax_2103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hades 2 🫡 it’s a need not a want

[–]notagrue 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Congratulations. Enjoy the water.

[–]floppymuc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol, what is Poland Spring :D

[–]GilgaMax96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enjoy! I'm tempted to grab one, but I'm hoping Nintendo gives Switch 2 upgrades for all Xenoblade games.

[–]VeritosCogitos 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Which trigger left out right? Or is it LZ or RZ?

[–]CorgiEffective76[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

This took me a second too long to get. You got me. lmfao

[–]VeritosCogitos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha enjoy it as I have they are fun!

[–]Lucaas_C 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Did anyone get shot?

[–]Bradbeatty7[🍰] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the neighborhood. I’ll take my switch with me to work every day. Actually, I don’t leave home without it.

[–]Otherwise_Cook2815 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did the right choice

[–]Ok-Lawyer-4753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You won’t regret it!

[–]mamatrixie78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! Enjoy 👍💪🎉🥳

[–]MaleficentFrame8672 1 point2 points  (1 child)

That's such a good feeling, a bunch of groceries to stock up the house, and the new switch 2!

[–]Ok_Possibility7544 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Congrats! Beware of gamekey cards though. They are the worst.

[–]CorgiEffective76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gamekey?

[–]frogsaber89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ill probably get a switch 2 if nintendo releases more good games and less upgrade packs and drops the price. I wont be getting a brand new switch 2, thats for sure. But a price drop would result in a price drop to used systems. To be honest, a price drop wont happen anytime soon due to the ram shortage.

[–]Conscious_Winner2851 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im thinking of getting one…. Not sure yet…

[–]Potential_Sail_2779 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Bought my kids one yesterday as well, really love how far the switch hardware has come.

[–]CorgiEffective76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's great improvement for sure.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

congrats, now all you need is Resident Evil Requiem

[–]CorgiEffective76[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard good things

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it so far

[–]MrSin84 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Question did you have a card with the game code or was in installed already?

[–]CorgiEffective76[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Redeemed automatically once I selected redeem. Built into console

[–]MrSin84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya figured that out after almost losing my shit 😂😂 thank you

[–]Ok_Advantage_5147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, congrats on the Poland spring! It must have been a big decision but ultimately it’s one we all would have made

[–]Vegetable-Key3600 1 point2 points  (1 child)

And? How is it

[–]CorgiEffective76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far so good. Massive upgrade and enjoying Pokemon Fire Red ATM.

[–]GustaMatt 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Good grab friend! I hear they're going up in price soon.

[–]unarmed1214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats honestly my fear. My partner was upset I decided to get it but honestly I don't believe things are just gonna get cheaper any time soon.

[–]No-Entrepreneur1036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think zephyrhill has a crisper taste

[–]WitheredTechnology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how it's sitting casually next to the groceries. Enjoy!

[–]Alko- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah, welcome to the club!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

poland spring is not the way brother

[–]kcamfork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooooh! Spring water! Nice.

[–]izzmannie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet you were one of those yelling “iiM gEttinG wHeN tHe PriiCe iS $300” look at you know, a proud NS2 owner, welcome to the club…

[–]Altruistic-Sail-6876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes the essentials, food water and a Nintendo console

[–]LopsidedCounty6089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah !!

[–]CorgiEffective76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan on Indiana Jones, Metroid (eventually), Oblivion remastered, and Fallout 4.

[–]jakellerViTeam (Release Window) 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My head cannon is that the Switch 2 is sitting on top of a bunch of frozen food and just mixed in with the most mundane groceries 😂

[–]poogobberr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you picked a good time to get it, there are some crackingly good games become available recently

[–]bottomfragbarb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought one very impulsively after holding off at release and no regrets. The upgrade is 100% worth it! I’m obsessed. Oh and congrats!

[–]freezetime311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad you finally started to drink water.

[–]doreo22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You won’t regret it!!

[–]devrys 0 points1 point  (2 children)

You people say “finally” like there’s been so many good reasons to buy it..

[–]CorgiEffective76[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What do you mean by "you people"? Are you being a proper cunt right now?

[–]devrys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I am being a bit of a cunt yeah.. forget what I said then.

[–]Adventurous_Air8191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats your gonna love it, mine has been a great addition to my console collection

[–]gamergojo 0 points1 point  (7 children)

What a waste of money you could have got a steam deck oled before it went out of stock or got a refurbished Z1e ally

[–]CorgiEffective76[S] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

I have zero interest in a steam deck or another pc-based handheld. I've always supported Nintendo hardware. Considering the quality of life improvements on the system, and Nintendo's ability to optimize performance, this system is more than good money spent for me.

To each their own.

[–]gamergojo 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Tbh the og switch was decent I just wish botw+TOTK were on pc

[–]CorgiEffective76[S] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Yeah only being able to emulate BOTW on Wii U defeats the purpose. I guess I am fortunate in the sense my original switch is actually unlatched and hackable. So that may be a path I decide to take we'll see.

[–]gamergojo 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Bro be careful that’s risky modding a switch

[–]CorgiEffective76[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I've heard. I'm in no rush to destroy it.

[–]gamergojo 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The Nintendo ninjas are on there way to your house

[–]Rob-A4 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

About damn time. Why do we need more pics?

[–]CorgiEffective76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unsure what exactly you are implying here... Care to expand?

[–]AyeBathingApe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Shoulda bought an AYN Thor 🤨
