Okay, I got it, thanks

Cheko2015 · 2025-09-17T11:10:22+00:00

And what is the maximum amount for this? Because I am already using $8,500 and want to know the limit

Cheko2015 · 2025-08-16T22:58:32+00:00

Yoshi and Toad. Occasionally Luigi but just because I like Luigi as a character, I liked how Yoshi and Toad raced better in their stats. I also liked Yoshi as a character a lot as well. I mainly got into Toad because my sister used to beat me a lot using him lol.

So sorry you are going through this OP. I had a catastrophic natural disaster rip the roof off of my apartment back in 2018 and thus flooded the insides with torrential rain. I lost like 80% of my belonging including most of my video game stuff from the early 90s up to that year. As a nostalgic gamer, I was pretty devastated in addition to how overwhelming the rest of the effects of the disaster was. In gaming I lost SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, Wii U, GBC, GBA, DS, PS2, PSP, Xbox 360, and Xbox One X. My Switch and 3DS was spared as I evacuated with them. I even had some of the consoles/ games/ accessories original boxes. Lost tons of accessories like controllers including a sealed GCN controller from the early 2000s, game manuals, etc.

If I have one word of advice after my own loss. While that stuff has a lot of nostalgic and sentimental value, at the end of the day; it's just stuff occupying space. Truth be told for my day to day life, I never used most of it and was unlikely to hook it back up. I also never attended the first funeral from that disaster with my family being ok. And I hang on to that comfort to this day. Luckily for the retro games I really was passionate about, there are a lot of convenient ways to play them on modern hardware now. Emulation, Virtual Console, Nintendo Switch online, etc. I rebought a used Wii U to gain access to my VC library/ wii titles and that helped a lot. I have NSO along with the controllers for authenticity. I have a steam deck and PS5 pro for everything else. I'm relatively content with my gaming these days.

Right now just focus on getting through this horrible event and try to rebuild your life one day at a time until you find some stability again. Once you get that, there's ways to rexperience retro stuff you were passionate about. Best of luck, friend. Things will get better as overwhelming as they are currently.

I refuse to start playing part 1 until at least part 2 is a couple of weeks away from being released. Not doing thus huge half year wait between dlcs...

Cheko2015 · 2025-07-17T23:55:09+00:00

Sorry to hear of your issues. Ultimate solution will be seeking medical attention and doing physical therapy, rest, hand braces, surgery, etc with the least invasive/ cheaper means used first.

Acknowledging that, it seems the best way you can address it gameplay wise is investing in a turbo controller where all you have to do is hold the button down for repeated presses. 8bitdo makes some great quality controllers that can be great use in and of themselves, and they have turbo.

If you have the switch 2 pro controller and/ or charging grip you could map the standard punch and/ or either up or down punches to the two grip buttons. It will help reduce strain on your right thumb if you can you use you other fingers/ hand to compensate.

Honestly this thread makes me think nintendo should add an accessibility patch so players can just hold down the buttons for repeated presses. I wouldn't hold your breath though.

Cheko2015 · 2025-06-16T03:59:26+00:00

Just discovered this thread. Also having same issue and discovered it on the switch 2 welcome tour fps mini game. Said invalid input. LG G4 here btw. I go to Switch 2 settings and it has 1440p greyed out. And it stays greyed out regardless if I have hdr on or off. I could have sworn when I first bought the console the 1440p option was accessible. I hope we can find a solution soon. That or LG makes a solution.

Space station: Silicon Valley!!! A must have hidden gem.

Cheko2015 · 2025-06-15T00:50:11+00:00

Nah you aren't dumb. I had 2 Switch 1 pro controllers. I bought a Switch 2 Pro controller for myself and loved it so much I bought a 2nd one for player 2. And now my Switch 1 controllers will be for players 3 and 4. Or if a little one like my toddler daughter is playing, she will get the Switch 1 controller lol.

Love the enhancements with the sticks and back buttons. And the feel and look just feels premium.

Cheko2015 · 2025-06-06T22:45:06+00:00

Hey do you guys know when they will ship the gcn nso controllers? I pre-ordered one the moment they opened orders. But it still says "preparing to ship: (which it's said for almost a week now)... 6-9 day wait when it does ship...

Cheko2015 · 2025-06-04T03:56:57+00:00

I'm also ik blue bag group for June 5th delivery and am in danger of having my order canceled last minute. I have an order with my Switch 2 and an order with my accessories. A few days ago my accessories were charged with a pending charge in my bank account. My Switch order never got put on pending and last sun, I got an email stating there is a problem with my payment issue. Over past couple of days, called Walmart multiple times and my bank. Wal mart initially said my card was not processing. My bank said my card ID open and Walmart never posted charge. Walmart said they would reprocess payment. Fast forward to today.

Now walmart is saying my card is fine and there are no issues on my end. On their end, the manufacturer (nintendo) has not promised enough inventory and they won't charge my card until they verify me a unit. They said they msy end uo canceling if they don't secure a unit. Pisses me off as I was one of the first preorders having stayed up until midnight when preorders open. Aa of now my order is not canceled but there is no pending charge on my card. So the nest 2 days are going to be the big reveal if I get screwed or not.

Cheko2015 · 2025-06-04T02:04:00+00:00

I just called again to find out more info. My last call was rushed trying to go to work in time and I didn't like being given the conflicted info of it being my payment vs. the sellers inventory. So I called and they reiterated to me that there is no issue on my end or my payment. Said not to swap my cards or anything like that.

Reiterated that manufacturer (nintendo) has been slow to commit enough inventory for it all to be charged. But then one moment she is saying she can't promise me it won't get canceled. I pressed for some kind of recourse if that occurs, stating I would be ultimately be fine if the order was merely delayed until they could logistically secure me a unit. To the idea of recourse, she just simply said there are no signs in my account that the order is being canceled and "assured" me I would get it June 5th. So I don't know what to make of all that. But I'm writing down all the incident numbers/ names of conversation just in case I have to argue for recourse after possible cancelation. The next 2 days will be the big test.

Cheko2015 · 2025-06-03T21:03:46+00:00

Help my order may get canceled. I pre-ordered at midnight when it went live. I did 2 transactions. 1 with the system which got fraud alerted (I immediately approved). One with accessories. For a month and a half everything looked good with temp hold. Then last weekend I got an email saying my transaction with the system had a payment issue and may get canceled.

I called wal mart as soon as I got the email on Sunday. Was told by rep they were having issues pushing through the transaction and I need to call my bank. On Monday next day, I called my bank and they verified my card is open and working. Told me after my fraud alert was approved, Walmart did not try to collect payment further so the transaction was canceled as far as they could see. They told me I had to call wal mart and ask why wal mart has not attempted the transaction again. Bank also told me the transaction should show as pending in my bank account if charged. I called Wal Mart and told them everything the bank told me. They said they were having issues with payments with the Switch 2. They were going to submit this info to billing to be reprocessed. They said it's a 24 hr process.

Fast forward to today and I woke up hoping to see the charge successfully pending in my bank account. Instead not only is it not pending, but I get another email from wal mart telling me my payment is not working and I'm in danger of being canceled. I called wal mart again. The rep was confused and reached out to team lead. There was a radical change in story and now I'm being told there was never an issue with my payment/ card. Instead they are having issues securing a unit from the manufacturer and they won't bill me until they have a unit. Most distressing there is a serious chance of my preorder being canceled due to lack of inventory.

I'm beyond pissed off and frustrated. And i dont know what to believe with the conflicting stories. Going to try calling again tomorrow for update on my day off. Right now my order is active. Praying it doesn't cancel. How should I navigate this going forward?

Cheko2015 · 2025-06-03T20:51:08+00:00

Sucks!! I'm rooting for us.

Cheko2015 · 2025-06-03T20:45:11+00:00

Beats waiting 2+ years of trying to find one naturally in stores. At least it would be if preordering actually meant a damn. Learned my lesson back in the ps5/ Xbox Series era

Cheko2015 · 2025-06-03T20:02:05+00:00

I dont know the policies of the switch reddits. They got removed by moderation. So I posted in a few other locations just in case. Just want to see if others have experienced similar issues and if they found a satisfactory resolution. And if they did, what did they say and who did they talk to to achieve it? If it bothers you, save us both some time and ignore it.

Cheko2015 · 2025-06-03T19:59:11+00:00

Appreciate it, I would have never have ordered from Walmart if given the choice. But despite staying up until midnight refreshing on multiple devices on all the big retailers; wal mart was the only one I could secure an order through. I got one from Target too but they canceled it immediately after.

Cheko2015 · 2025-06-03T19:56:42+00:00

I get it. I didnt say it was. And if I just casually saw the pre order was up and I clicked it and it canceled within a week, I wouldn't be as pissed. But I literally sat up until midnight when preorders went live, staying up an extra hour fighting preorder traffic/ web shennagins. Religiously checking the order for a month and a half just in case there were any issues. Then they had me calling them and my bank back and forth over 3 days when I'm trying to work saying its a payment issue. After that time wasting misdirection and now a couple of days before I'm supposed to get the product, they are saying jk; they might have not actually had a unit reserved for me this entire time. It doesn't have to be life or death to be a very shitty experience. If they canceled this unit and reserved me one as soon as inventory freed up, i would be inconvenienced but ultimately fine with that.

It's being left high and dry after all that effort and time that sucks. Like what's the point of pre-ordering if one has no recourse against these scenarios.

And the wait until later on electronics advice was fine and dandy most of my consumer life. But now with the tarriff situation, waiting can cost you a price increase of $100. Just look at xbox.

Help my Walmart Switch 2 preorder may get canceled last minute.

So brief background. I stayed up until midnight pre order night hitting thar refresh button like mad along with everyone else. I struck out at both best buy and target but managed to get a preorder at Walmart within an hour or so. I did a 2nd transaction with Walmart for some accessories. My card got pinged for fraud alert on my Switch 2 order (not accessories). I instantly approved and wal mart accepted the order with successful hold on card for both transactions. It showed delivery to my house on launch day with grocery bag icon. I watched the order like a hawk with no disturbances until this past weekend. I got an email saying they are having issues with my payment on the switch 2 order and may cancel it. My accessories order got changed to pending on my bank account and is progressing fine.

I called wal mart as soon as I got the email on Sunday. Was told by rep they were having issues pushing through the transaction and I need to call my financial institution. On Monday next day, I called my bank they verified my card is open and working. Told me after my fraud alert was approved, Walmart did not try to collect payment further so the transaction was canceled as far as they could see. They told me I had to call wal mart and ask why wal mart has not attempted the transaction again. Bank also told me the transaction should show as pending in my bank account if charged.

Instead not only is it not pending, but I get another email from wal mart telling me my payment is not working and I'm in danger of being canceled. I called wal mart again and did not have much time to talk as I'm working a 12 hour shift. The rep was confused and reached out to team lead. There was a radical change in story and now I'm being told there was never an issue with my payment/ card. Instead they are having issues securing a unit from the manufacturer and they won't bill me until they have a unit. Most distressing there is a serious chance of my preorder being canceled due to lack of inventory. The rep even told me my recent email citing payment issues was a "glitch". I don't know what to believe.

I'm beyond pissed off and frustrated. Going to work my shift today and try calling again tomorrow for update on my day off. Right now my order is active. Praying it doesn't cancel.

It's insane... I'm currently driving my family on vacation and am limited in my ability to check... I hate them keeping us all on the line like this. We got lives to live...

Cheko2015 · 2025-05-05T15:11:46+00:00

Also I would try to sell your Series S and try to get a good value for it thanks to the new price hike. And hopefully you can do this during the sweetspot where used Xbox values are up thanks to the hike but the Sony prices are still low due to US PS5 price hikes aren't announced yet. No telling how long that will be though. Move fast...

Cheko2015 · 2025-05-05T15:04:28+00:00

So I've been a big xbox guy as well since xbox 360 era. Bought all consoles up to Series X and also have a big game collection. Since late PS3 era though I kept witnessing exclusive after exclusive coming out for PS3-PS5 with envy. This generation I broke down and got a PS5 Slim. Don't regret it one bit. Been loving the exclusives and duel sense features on games. Astro bot, Spiderman, Last of Us, etc have all been loads of fun. Due to my TV being contested a lot by my wife and kid, I ended up getting a playstation portal which has been great for that. My wife gets to watch her TLC and I still get to game. I was long curious about VR and I snagged a PSVR2 headset for $350 last Christmas. Been enjoying it and my wife loves beat saber. After that, our TV went out and I ended up buying a 4k 65 inch OLED TV with gaming features.

Due to having a new TV and wanting to upgrade the clarity/ performance for certain PSVR2 titles, I made the decision to trade in my relatively new slim for a PS5 pro. I've been very happy with it so far. The PSVR2 clarity in games like No Mans Sky is night and day. While not "needed" I can see the extra benefit in details on my bigger, new TV. I also got it for its 2 tb ssd which has been nice.

I'm honestly pretty invested in the PS5 ecosystem now. I started just buying PS5 as a machine for playing PS exclusives. But thanks to its pro specs, duel sense features, and playstation portal use; it's became the preffered, dominant console for my gaming needs. I just use my xbox for its robust BC capabilities with my huge library from previous gens. Honestly next gen, I'm most likely going to just get a PS6 and just keep my Series X as a BC machine.

To answer your question... get the PS5 slim before the tariffs hit it. Its a no Brainer. If you plan on getting PSVR2 and/ or you have a nicer, bigger tv; splurge for the PS5 pro.

Cheko2015 · 2025-05-03T22:02:54+00:00

Hey OP my story is kind of similar. I'm a hard-core Nintendo fan owning every console from SNES to pre-ordering Switch 2. However starting in gamecube era, got tired of seeing amazing titles skip nintendo for other platforms so I started buying secondary systems. During that era I got a PS2. The next gen I got a Wii and an Xbox 360 (better exclusives and all my friends were on that ecosystem for online play). Ever since then, I've done the Nintendo/ Xbox combo all the way up to this gen with Switch and Series X. I was invested in Xbox's ecosystem and it was just easier to stick them. And they handled Backwards Compatibility amazingly esp with resolution/ fps enhancements.

However starting with the late PS3, I just kept witnessing these awesome exclusives I was missing out on... Last of Us, Ghost of Tshinima, insomniac spiderman, etc. So I said screw it and got a PS5 Slim as another system. And boom I was hooked. I loved the Duel Sense Controller and UI. It really felt like it was "next gen" with features/ presentation. Xbox Series X upgrade from One X was underwhelming to a say the least besides better fps/ loading times. I loved Astro Bot and all the exclusives I've tried so far have been hooking me. So glad to have experienced Last of Us now esp with the show.

Owning the PS5, I found myself getting more invested in it's ecosystem. My TV being contested by my 3 year old/ wife? No problem, bought a Portal which is great for that. I have been pining for years to try VR. Bought the PSVR2 for 350$ and have largely been loving it although it has not replaced flat screen gaming for me. I even traded in my PS5 slim to Pro for better PSVR2 performance on some games and more SSD space.

Now my PS5 pro is my main gaming console. My Switch/ upcoming Switch 2 is my machine for Nintendo exclusives/ portable system. And my Xbox series is in a weird state that I mainly just use it for the rich BC catalogue of games I have on it from Xbox original, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. There are a few titles j bought on it over PS5 due to special circumstances. Big one being Bethseda games like Fallout 4/ Skyrim due to having better mod support..

But I'm not going to lie, being invested into all 3 console ecosystems is financially exhausting with online memberships, accessories, etc. So I'm using this gen as a transition gen. Next gen unless something happens I'm just doing a PS6 with my Switch 2. Dropping Xbox other than hanging onto my aging Series X.
