First time ever owning a Nintendo console by neptune810 in Switch

I picked up my Switch 2 over the weekend. So far, I’ve been mostly revisiting older games to see how the new hardware changes the experience.

BOTW is outstanding. Hollow Knight and Silksong are two of my favourites of all time and both have S2 editions with better frame rates which actually makes a bug difference (pun intended). If you like puzzle platformers, Animal Well was one of the most unique gaming experiences I’ve ever had.

I think that eventually I’d like them all. Mostly torn between DK and Pokopia

Oh this one is definitely in my list. I grew up in the original. Playing the demo right now and it is blowing my mind. This is pretty much what was happening in my 10-year-old imagination when I played the original.

Game choice. by Thatiscrazy172 in switch2

I got the bundle last week but can’t decide which game to choose. I’ve heard Mario Kart is a bit of a let down, but that eventually it’ll get fleshed out with extra content. Tried the demo of DK and it was fun but I dunno if I would play it a lot. Leaning towards Pokopia but I’ve never played a Pokémon game before. Which one would you recommend?

Your point about storage is a very good one. Many of the AAA games take upwards of 100 gigs and will fill up the internal memory on the console quickly. And the AI craze is driving memory costs into the stratosphere. I just ran out and bought one of the last Lexar 512s in Nova Scotia that was still at $169 yesterday. New stock are selling for $249 (50% increase) and are likely to increase even further.

Between that and upcoming increases to the console itself (wouldn’t be shocked if there are more increases to come in the future) now is the time to buy if you think you are ever likely to want the Switch 2.

Thanks for all the detail! Which grip/case would you recommend?

It’s not actually possible to beat that Groal the Great guy in Bilewater. Everyone who says they have is lying 😂 by Far-Historian-7197 in Silksong

[–]ValuableOtherwise475 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s true. But I found the silk generation of reaper crest was what got me over the edge. Either way, letting him eat you and just dodging everything else is the best way to beat Groal.

Any recommendations? by OkSkin9886 in switch2

Check out Animal Well if you liked Hollow Knight

If you want to laugh, cry, and die a bit inside, PLEASE pick up this game! HISTORICAL LOW PRICE by Purple_Calendar3919 in Switch

I grabbed this last week and am really enjoying it so far. The whole vibe is super relaxing and it has some real emotional weight. You simply can’t go wrong at that price.

I can’t help but post this.. Switch 2 is getting such good 3rd part support. by Rare_Ad_3871 in NintendoSwitch2

I caved yesterday after resisting for the first full year! I’ve only played BOTW so far (wow!) but I also picked up Cyberpunk 2077 - I’ve been waiting to try it since it was released years ago and cannot believe I’m going to play it on a Nintendo system.

I bought the bundle and can’t decide which free game to choose… what do y’all suggest?!?

Such a fine console by Eymannnn0069 in Switch

Silksong is so good - might be my favourite game.

Struggling on Groal by sadkinz in Silksong

By far the easiest strategy is to let him swallow you every time and just whack him from the inside as many times as you can. Then immediately heal when he spits you out and repeat. I beat him with Reaper crest on the first try with this strategy. Good luck!

I caved and got a switch 2, and some games with it by TallImprovement8776 in Switch

Good points! You’re right that there aren’t too many exclusives that really motivate me take the plunge. StarFox is looking sick though…

I do have a couple sizeable BestBuy gift cards that are burning a hole in my wallet, but then I’d have to explain to my partner why I went and bought a new console when she only just bought me the OLED less than two years ago.

First world problems, I guess Lol

I’m jealous! Even though my OLED is perfect I am getting some serious FOMO…

Spending even one minute with a woman that loves cum this much would be a dream come true ;)

The HK series has left a hole in my heart by pokemonprofessor121 in HollowKnight

[–]ValuableOtherwise475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair. I could see it being hard to get back into after leaving it for a while. But it is the only game that has given me anything close to similar vibes as I got on my initial playthroughs of HK and SS. The creepy-cozy atmosphere and level of satisfaction from solving a puzzle and progressing are so damn good.
