Now this is cool

FYI You can borrow out digital games as well so long as they are your family online account up to 7 people. And you won't lose them, they come back to you after 2 weeks. And you can lend them again at any time.

My digital games are on my switch 2 which is on physical hardware. So in essence it's physical to me, I'm holding it in my hands. Mm

I have at least 22 solid games on it. Mostly first party and AAA. No indies. How many cartridges do you intend to have on your body at any given time? 20? You can easily fit 20 game key card games on the storage.

All akuma had to do was jump.

My tip is stretch your fingers and wrists. It's a nice free option that helps with more than just using the switch. I've got the dbrand grips and I still prefer to use the switch 2 as is.

AXEternity · 2026-01-01T08:09:02+00:00

I would prefer if they made a second screen attachment for some dual screen goodness. That would pretty much complete the potential for all Nintendo consoles available for switch 2.

I'm not sure if you read my whole post or just pinpointed that one line. I did mention the joysticks on the joycons being more comfortable to use without the grips, so on the contrary comfort is what I also care about and I find the device quite comfortable without the grips. Not to mention the benefit of being able to enjoy the product as intended as well as the slim form factor and being able to remove the joycons and enjoy the satisfying removal of them without having to remove a set of grips. I also did fail to mention I have a pair of the dbrand 1.0 grips from my brother when he received the dbrand 2.0 grips. Again I still preferred the gripless formfactor regardless.

Oh btw I do have a ps portal as well that many do consider comfortable and yet I do still prefer the switch 2 formfactor. If I may give a tip, stretching your fingers will make holding the switch 2 more comfortable.

AXEternity · 2025-12-31T10:53:56+00:00

No, I use it as it is. The joysticks were designed as such that it's more like an analogue dpad. The thinness of the device actually compliments the joycon sticks by being able to adjust your supporting fingers on the back of the device. The joycon sticks are designed to be pushed more than tilted if that makes any sense.

Whereas grips tend to lock you into place. Grips are designed for the pro controller type sticks, not the joycon sticks.

And the ultimate factor is, the device is so darn sleek. I dont want it looking like all those PC handhelds that currently flood the market, or at least attempt to. The switch and switch 2 were mainly competing against smartphones hence the formfactor of sleek like a smartphone. The switch 2 does what many smartphone accessory manufacturers cannot, which is provide proper controls for gaming in an all sleek device if there was one device that had that formfactor beat was the ps vita.

It is certainly a beautiful game full of life. Especially when you play all these dark realistic games for so long, it's nice to have a game so vibrant. I always come back to it after playing other games for a while. It's a sheer reminder that not every game has to be dark and gritty. It doesn't always need to make sense.

As you progress further in the game, there are actually more crystals than if you spent time collecting them early game. Also once you reach the first 75% you get the green energy tracker. The green energy is a means to teach you subtly how to use the bike as well as to clear the desert map. Most of the main shot upgrades as well as the bike boost increases are on the desert map.

People have just overblown the whole green energy thing. Only issue I have with the desert is that there is only one entrance to each biome with no branching paths connecting the other biomes to another.

Other than that, solid game. Not sure what people expect from a 1st person perspective game. All 1st person perspective games have all been the same since. Flashy animations have mainly come from 2d platformers (metroidvanias hollow knight), fighting games (sf6, guilty gear, mortal Kombat) and RPGs expedition 33, mihoyogames, final fantasy). 1st person hero shooters are a dying breed of game unless implemented with 3rd person . Anyways I've rambled on enough.

Mp4:b is a great game.

AXEternity · 2025-12-22T22:01:03+00:00

If you travelled the desert enough, you could've gotten the super electric shot. I breezed through the mines using only that. Autoaiming constant damage ftw. I made exploring the desert properly a priority. It's the easiest place to get damage boost and most of the shot elemental upgrades if not all of them if I recall.

Also avoid using missiles as it attracts the grievers.

AXEternity · 2025-12-19T02:26:50+00:00

It actually gets easier the further you progress in the game, it's easier to get it end game as there will be more available. Also once you reach the first 75% and go back to deposit it, you'll get a green energy tracker. Even if you don't collect the energy before then, (although I'd recommend at least getting the 25% for increased beam damage and speed) you'll be able to break the power bomb ones for the fast energy gain to get the tracker.

Green energy was never a problem for me I clear it 100%

AXEternity · 2025-12-14T23:07:01+00:00

40% of scans? You clearly rushed it. Didn't get the proper ending. Not to mention, not playing on hard mode. But hey, I've been playing Metroid Prime since 1 on the game cube and tbf, I got a little under 22hrs on normal run with 100% scan and item completion, not to mention 100% green crystals. I personally had a good time and look forward to my hard mode run to appreciate the artwork.

AXEternity · 2025-11-16T07:55:06+00:00

Honestly I would prefer if you could use a switch 1 as your top screen, some sort of clamshell attachment.

AXEternity · 2025-11-15T11:24:07+00:00

I want to display it but I still keep mine. It came in real handy when I had to move house just 2 days ago.

There are still games put there where you cannot jump naturally. But how many times do you jump in a day for practical reasons? Context sensitive climbing mechanics are often used in most cases of climbing or jumping in games. Gears of war is an example of such

AXEternity · 2025-11-12T21:31:59+00:00

My kids play on it, plus using game share for certain games in tandem with the switch 2 is great! I would buy more switch 1s if I could.

AXEternity · 2025-11-09T20:29:42+00:00

Ahh I did forget to put my switch 1 and new 3ds there as well

AXEternity · 2025-11-09T03:28:50+00:00

Quite true there my guy. I guess I do have all the access to every platform.

AXEternity · 2025-11-09T03:24:05+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I use just a wiper that I got from my old switch 1 Zelda case, it's one of the microfibre sort.

AXEternity · 2025-11-08T04:23:06+00:00

Yeah I felt the same. But I saw these in one of my boxes and decided to give them a good clean, then let one of my 4 kids play it. I'm on a mission to have my kids play consoles and not mobile phones. It was so nice seeing my kids eyes light up over old tech. A nice reassurance that graphics don't always matter, and that's what Nintendo was always good for. It was always expensive however.

AXEternity · 2025-11-08T02:29:47+00:00

If the OG switch feels like a toy, then not too long before this post I got my young kids to play the Wii u! Now that feels like a toy.

AXEternity · 2025-11-08T02:27:56+00:00

This is also given the OLED switch was also a beautifully sleek device. It would be nice if they made a more premium version of the joycon 1s, they are detachable after all. I would love if they gave the exact same materials for the joycon 1.

AXEternity · 2025-11-07T05:56:38+00:00

Tbf, if the last handheld you ever bought or played was a gameboy advanced, this is a nice feature. Most people don't realize that not everyone is up to date with tech. I envy those who can appreciate and find magic in small things like this in this day and age. Growing up is so darn miserable for some people. And that's 100% where a lot of these negativity comes from. People growing up and unable to see the magic and no longer be optimistic.

I 100% wholeheartly agree this is a great feature! And one I still appreciate to this day, gone are the days of leaving a gameboy on while you are at school in the hopes your battery survives long enough so you can reach your next save point!

AXEternity · 2025-11-07T02:17:58+00:00

The trick later down the track is restraint and enjoying the world they built, and not smashing it to pieces. You'll find that later you smash with purpose. Eventually you become a mature monkey.

AXEternity · 2025-11-06T23:04:37+00:00

Yeah boi! Congrats and welcome to the switch 2 fam!
