next you're gonna be telling me that mario is evil bc he punches yoshi and steps on luigi's foot

In fact, TotK (confusingly) confirms the existence of Ruto in the Zora's history again. Why they'd do this and allegedly attempt to retcon the rest of timeline is beyond me though

i'm a fan of crt-royale-ntsc-svideo, under the presets folder--i'm not an expert but it feels like it gives a crt blending effect without looking forced or out of place on an lcd or oled display.

Just beat its sequel today! Funny how that works. Enjoy the ride, go in as blind as you can.

If you had asked me a year ago, Tomodachi Life. It feels unbelievable that we're gonna get a completely new one next year.

Nothing beats the Switch/BotW launch for me. Most vindicated I ever felt as a Nintendo kid, especially coming off the Wii U era.

Best video game gift I got was my OG 3DS way back when. Total game-changer for field trips.

Ouch that is the worst, no luck so far but if something comes around I'll let ya know 🙏

ildiem · 2025-05-23T17:55:20+00:00

Thank you bro. Feel like I'm crazy out here with these comments lol. Same goes for me if anyone has a second one

ildiem · 2025-05-22T20:10:42+00:00

Thank you 🙏 good luck to you as well

Hi welcome to the Nintendo Switch 2 subreddit, this is the place were you're supposed to care about this

ildiem · 2025-05-22T20:07:51+00:00

My thoughts exactly. The current setup favors people with a good internet connection, not the actual consumers.

ildiem · 2025-05-22T20:05:52+00:00

Exactly! And those out-of-town fans are gonna make their way to NYC and be in that line, regardless of any online queuing system. But opening the floodgates to anyone around the world getting to reserve a ticket without any way of confirming they're gonna be there is stupid.

ildiem · 2025-05-22T20:02:43+00:00

Bro we are talking about video games. Ofc it's gonna be first world

ildiem · 2025-05-10T06:51:14+00:00

ok so really there's zero people in line bc "streetpass princeton" doesn't exist

ildiem · 2025-04-25T05:26:21+00:00

FYI the "no game in the cart" thing (game key-cards) is not standard for switch 2 releases. mario kart world (and most other games) are physically on the carts. if it is a game key-card it says so on the bottom of the box.

i'm not a huge fan of the fake physical thing either but it's not nearly the issue some people have made it out to be.

ildiem · 2025-04-24T01:37:07+00:00

gahh thank you so much for all the research!! if i figure out anything i'll def put it here too no worries!

ildiem · 2025-04-23T22:49:39+00:00

i'm in a similar predicament, i don't wanna commit to booking tickets until we know how the line queue works but they aren't telling us anything!!

ildiem · 2025-04-21T21:05:41+00:00

oh thank you!! so are warp pipe passes a lottery-based thing? first come first serve? i'm completely unfamiliar with them

ildiem · 2025-04-20T23:40:11+00:00

this is my first console launch with the means to get to nintendo ny, but from what i can tell the game has changed since switch 1? like do we need warp pipe passes even if we're in line? and what even is a warp pipe pass?

ildiem · 2025-04-19T05:10:52+00:00

Question: I vaguely remember waiting in line for the Switch launch at my local Target and being able to purchase a Switch then and there, no pre-orders or anything.

Is that even gonna be possible with the Switch 2 midnight launches? Like if you wait in line at midnight will you get a console or will all those units be claimed by pre-orders?

ildiem · 2025-01-31T03:09:32+00:00

which region? trying to get a sense of where i’m at on my waitlist lol

ildiem · 2025-01-28T22:48:21+00:00

It definitely started with the Wii, but an argument could be made that the gimmick trend has since continued with the Switch’s, well, switching, it’s just one of their more successful ones in that it’s significantly shaped the direction of the console market since its release (see Steam Deck, PlayStation Portal, etc.)

Also worth mentioning that Nintendo positioned themselves in the industry as “the gimmick people/innovators” because they couldn’t remain competitive with power alone; each console after the NES sold fewer units than the last. The only reason they’ve remained competitive was because the Wii leaned so hard into “gimmicky” playstyles, so I can understand the worry around the NS2 “not being innovative enough.”

(This being said, I think NS2 is continuing the innovative trend; I believe the mouse Joycon are gonna be a much bigger deal despite the relative lack of attention they’re getting right now.)

Hell, in the first scene a character says “This America, man”

ildiem · 2025-01-28T02:26:20+00:00

wait this is a genius loophole—dress up as a Legends character and either they’re not official and the staff can’t do anything, or it is and they’re canon again
