50th in line at GS. 75 units available but only 29 for the MKW bundle. Been here over half an hour now and the line's barely moved. This ranks high on the all time "why am I doing this?" List.

My local Gamestop closed down yesterday. I was gonna pre-order there.

In other sad news, Trump's is giving exceptions to tariffs on computers, phones, and other electronics.....but not to game consoles so NS2 is still screwed.

Maybe I should just get a Steam Deck already at this point.
Sorry to hear that i was thinking due to the tarrifs if the Nintendo Switch goes any higher than $846 AUD for the Mario kart world bundle and Micro sd card express i would fork out for an Asus Rog laptop instead for fl studio and such

The Gamecube controller adapter they made for SSB4/U confirmed to work with GCN classics. Maybe I can do without the wireless controller afterall. Hello again, trusty ol' Wavebird!

looks like the switch's firmware updated to 20.0.0 overnight. this'll likely be the version the switch 2 will run straight outta the box.

update includes some very minor ui/icon changes, the implementation of virtual game cards, and gameshare (a feature you cannot utilize until the switch 2 is out lol).

new option to transfer all data from switch 1 to switch 2 is also included in the update, as well as the option to upload all your switch 1 data to nintendo's dedicated servers for the purpose of reuploading into your shiny new switch 2. i'd advise you don't do this until you have the switch 2 in your hands, as the process will forcibly factory reset your switch 1.

they also made the eshop red instead of orange now for some reason as well.

I mean, selling Switch 1 is kind of a necessity to even afford that Switch 2. That's the reason I went with Gamestop over other retailers.

yeah - for those that're selling their switch 1 and don't mind being switch-less until june 5th, the uploading of data onto dedicated servers is a good option.

my current switch is a limited edition so im afraid im never getting getting rid of it.

i’ve managed to cop a solid armoured switch 2 case with 24 game cart slots, a 256gb micro express microSD card and a screen protector.

i think im ultimately ready for the switch 2. my switch backlog’s been very overwhelming so im looking forward to exploring it when the console drops. bouta be the slowest month ever.

I basically got nothing beyond the system itself and MKW. Any extra spare money would go to a 2nd game if it were possible.

ye, im sticking with one game (and gamecube stuff) for the first few months. DK Bananza hasn't quite gotten me on board yet. I'm sure it's an excellently made game but I remain unconvinced that the destructible environments are going to be congruent with fun movement-based level design.

Essentially, I fear it's a 'find all the crap' type platformer rather than a 'master the fancy movement' type platformer. I'm glad it's not a Mario clone, as DK deserves his own style, but that also comes with potentially being less interesting.

The entire remake trilogy will release on NS2 before we even get a native KH1.

i NEED native versions of the KH games on ns2 man.

crossing my fingers there’ll be a sort of KH presentation that shows off both kh4 and those ports.

there really is no valid excuse now, the switch’s successor eliminates all the problems they would’ve ran into when making native KH ports for the switch 1.

kh ports ARE essentially free money but at this point they might be sheepish over bringing KH1 & pals to show-and-tell before actually releasing KH4 news.

I recently played 1 & 2 on Steam Deck and KH3 is hard for me to enjoy without the ReMind Ability Integration mod, so I'd probably pass on Switch 2 ports unless they add cool shit

I'm still able to play PSP CC despite the remake being such a massive QoL upgrade, so it ain't a deal breaker to me if it's the same ol' same old.

yeah, if I hadn't recently already done a handheld run through on deckie I probably would be a little bit more enticed by Switch 2 ports. I definitely don't think they're going to do anything special with any of these ports, other than giving KH3 a recolored starting blade like they have with every other KH3 release.
