I really shouldn't get the Switch 2 but this video by my future husband TWD98 is getting me really excited for Mario Kart World.

I have both the switch and PlayStation… as in I play both…

 

Y'all so unfunny it's painful… 

It's giving millenials

 

 

You're comparing the capabilities of a pseudo-PC and a tablet even though one costs $200 more than the other..

 

If you're going to come here for some shits and giggles at least try to make sense. Or did you purposely try to be dense just to have a "gotcha" moment?

Was the treehouse gameplay worth a watch? Do I have to pay to watch now?

[Puttanesca]

I'm sorry but that DK game is a chop for me. All that punching and aggression is a no. It was clearly made for the gen z boys which is cute but I'll hold off for my Italian plumber

Now see with Xbox Series N/A and PS4 2.0 having absolutely ZERO games to play if you'd told me a couple years ago Nintendo were in danger when they literally had the perfect opportunity to come in, show off some games and win the generation again…

 

This is half Nintendo's fault half Trump but this is looking disastrous   They're all losers, we as consumers are losers and the whole gaming industry needs to get in the bin. Greed has gone too far and the cost of making games is too much. Nothing is sustainable anymore

Haha I just finished watching this on YouTube! Troy is literally the one YouTuber I'm subscribed to  

 

I'm excited but I hope there's an option to play every track as a "regular" 3 lap track in versus mode. The long straight intermissions look like they'll get stale quick. 
 

Also, gonna need more than 30 tracks…. Especially after getting used to 96 with the BCP for 8 Deluxe.

I'm watching Donkey Kong gameplay and I'm sold on this game. Mario, you're bones

This is how I feel too Such an interesting idea but then in practice it just looked like long straightaways that eat into the lap counts of the next course...

Cyberpunk will run better on Switch 2 than on PS4 because of the better CPU. I'm not sure about the battery life though. If it's 2 hours on portable mode then it's still better to just play on PS5

I'll say if the  Trump admin don't back down and the negotiations with Vietnam/Japan take too long; the pre-orders will likely be in the 550-600$ range which is not too bad considering the crazy tarifs.

 

But there's also 2 other options, they cancel the pre orders altogether and people will just have to find out the price the day it's out when they get it online or in stores, let's just pray by then the tarifs will be off. Or we goin back to the 90s/00s with a delayed released region to region but in this case it's only the US who will have to wait for a fall release

The footage in here is kinda impressive.

So the games from Switch will be sort of 'emulated' on Switch 2, whatever that means. They won't be running natively. I'm assuming they will run the same as on Switch unless they get a patch/enhanced version. And btw. apparently enhanced games are just base game on cartridge + a code to download the enhancement

This doesn't look as bad as the stock images.

I like that the cover wraps around the spine now. 

 

I like the Switch 2 logo on the spine, but I'm not a fan of the huge red bar at the top. I think they should have inverted the colors so that it's white with red accents instead of of the other way around. This way it would look a bit different from the original Switch but still retain the same color scheme.
