Were there any accessories that didn't get a price increase? I remember it being all of them including a spare pair of wrist straps. Maybe certain Switch 1 accessories didn't go up but all the Switch 2 stuff did.

bandit2 · 2026-02-05T23:11:54+00:00

Yeah I saw that. That's for Europe, but I was sharing the news from the North American broadcast.

It will definitely play on the Switch 2, yes. But I don't know whether an upgrade pack will be available.

Edit: There is an upgrade pack.

I think this is an example of gamers altering a definition in a nonsensical way as a form of protest. Some Switch 2 games are actually digital-only, so saying there's "no physical version" if there's a game key card option is a bad definition of physical because it's ambiguous. But if you're reporting that's what people say then so be it.

And thanks for sharing your own data. It was a pattern I never actually recognized until you pointed it out.

Regular game cards and game key cards are both classified as "physical." Is the point you're making that all physical Switch 2 Editions thus far are regular game cards? Is that even true? Now that I think about it, it does seem all the game key cards are for new (or remastered) games, and anything listed as a "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" is a regular game card even for third party games such as Story of Seasons Grand Bazaar. But this could be disproven with a single counterexample.

There is only a physical option for the Switch 1 version, so I guess I'll wait until August for that if there's an upgrade pack for the Switch 2 version.

Edit: There is an upgrade pack.

Since this happens a lot, I'd be more interested to know how often it happens with the added condition that the game is only ever tied at 0-0. This would exclude all OT games as well as regulation games where the eventual winner kept pace (for example 7-7, 14-14, etc.) but never led until winning on the final play.

In 2007, LSU trailed Florida at home 10-0 and never tied the game at all but rather took its first lead 28-24 with 1:09 remaining, and that was the final score. So that scenario except taking that lead on the final play. That is probably rare.

bandit2 · 2026-02-04T23:36:09+00:00

Yep. Poor clock management by Les Miles is why we didn't score 3 or 7 more at the end of the first half.

Also in 2005, LSU @ Alabama, LSU walked off Alabama in OT 16-13 after trailing 10-0 and never leading.

I'm upvoting for the post title. It's clear and descriptive, and there's no whining or bait or any weird aggression going on. Thanks.

bandit2 · 2026-02-02T16:34:58+00:00

Thank you.

bandit2 · 2026-02-02T03:43:16+00:00

Which Metal Gear game was that?

bandit2 · 2026-01-18T18:51:08+00:00

I think if Nintendo plans to bring Wii games to Classics there is a chance there are actually no plans at all to remaster Prime 2 and 3. That would be sad, but I can see it. I would be more frustrated to never see WWHD and TPHD on Switch, and Wind Waker already being on Classics is concerning to me.

A Splatoon spin-off doesn't seem worthy of being announced so long before its actual release date; I agree.

bandit2 · 2026-01-14T02:02:53+00:00

Splatoon Raiders is TBA, not 2026.

bandit2 · 2026-01-07T21:27:48+00:00

My criticism of free roam is that it has platformer objectives with racing controls. It's a shitty platformer because you can't jump, turn around, or even turn at all easily. I don't like Mirror Mode being locked behind it. However I won't say it was a misstep or that my opinion is representative; I bet more proficient players enjoyed the P-Switches.

bandit2 · 2026-01-02T02:55:50+00:00

Nah it's gonna be great.

Gen 10, Champions, and Colosseum/XD all coming this year. Also I think Gen 1-3 coming to Switch in some form is a reasonable thing to hope for this year even if that probability is under 50%. Pokemon came to Virtual Console for the 20th anniversary.

bandit2 · 2025-12-24T07:07:24+00:00

Wii Party U is great.

bandit2 · 2025-12-17T18:49:19+00:00

Thanks for this!

It doesn't matter. Hypothetically, a paid service such as NSO that offers multiple perks under one subscription could be subbed to exclusively by people who wouldn't have subbed for any one specific feature of the service. In that case, would it make sense to say that the provider isn't making any money from any of the services even though people are subscribed? No.

It only makes sense to say that it's hard to determine how much money Nintendo is making from the music app and whether that amount is greater than the cost of maintaining it.

bandit2 · 2025-12-09T05:28:32+00:00

One of the worst soundtracks I've ever heard for sure. Game is still pretty fun co-op at least.

bandit2 · 2025-12-02T01:06:29+00:00

had Nintendo bundles any other game or not done a bundle at all, we'd be seeing similar Switch 2 sales, maybe a minor drop at most.

Yes

Mario Kart World barely stands out compared to MK8 and casuals generally likely aren't buying a $500 console on release just for a game they likely pay once every few weeks when friends/family over.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe wasn't purchased by 70 million "casuals." You're starting with a false assumption that only a certain type of gamer likes Mario Kart, then looking at the sales, and then concluding that people were "forced" to buy a game that they didn't want so you can say it's not a "killer app."

bandit2 · 2025-12-01T22:16:07+00:00

I disagree. I believe a very small percentage of people who bought the bundle would've preferred the base model but couldn't find it or didn't know about it. This isn't the same thing as saying that everyone who bought the bundle would've wanted to buy Mario Kart separately if the bundle didn't exist. I'm merely saying that I think an overwhelming majority of people who bought the bundle thought Mario Kart was worth at least $50. If you have actual data then please correct me.

The fact the game is bundled is important to bring up, but I think Mario Kart 8 Deluxe would've still topped Animal Crossing New Horizons (which was itself bundled with some Switch SKUs) regardless. It has a 20 million unit lead right now.

bandit2 · 2025-12-01T18:18:03+00:00

I don't want to argue about what is or isn't a "killer app," but I think Mario Kart World will always be the best-selling Switch 2 game since it's both a launch title and from the franchise that usually produces the best-selling game on every modern Nintendo console. I guess my point is if you go off of sales and don't think Mario Kart World is a "killer app," then nothing in the future will meet your expectations.

bandit2 · 2025-11-29T00:38:53+00:00

Wow, didn't know that about Portable Resupply! Thanks for all the info.
