Last post by targetrasp - May 29, 2026, 08:57:34 PMI'm there with you on the trying to get into a NES game. If its not Zelda, Castlevania, or Metroid I've not given it ten minutes in the last 5 - 10 years. Its a lot easier going back to the SNES.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - May 29, 2026, 04:10:09 PMNice! I will throw out a pre-order topic as well. It's not a super expensive system... but I like the system at $169.95 LOL. Maybe it would be without the Banjo collection

Nintendo - Switch 2, Switch, 3DS, and Wii-U / Re: Nintendo Switch 2’s Year 1...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - May 29, 2026, 04:08:57 PMGood post @Bomberman! For sure, I agree the Nintendo Switch 2 Launch is better than the Nintendo Switch 1's launch. Factor in that you can play all the Switch 1 games... it is primed to be an awesome system. The performance increases are also notable - we will see how long those increases are noticeable and last in the future as games progress.
I think the Nintendo Switch 2 pricing has caused some of the slower adoption. We are getting to a point where it will be more expensive to upgrade to the Switch 2 from the Switch... and Switch 1 releases will start to get slower. Peripherals are also insanely expensive now (see topic). They were pretty high with the Switch 1, but the Switch 2 Peripherals cost more. A few of these reasons coupled together have caused a slower adoption of the Switch 2.
At the end of the day, I think the Switch 2 is going to start gaining a ton of steam. The games launched have all been pretty good ... even down to Kirby Air Riders
I think it's going to be that cost, which who knows how how it will go in the near future, that slows up Switch 2 adoption. The games are there.
Let's go Star Fox!

Nintendo - Switch 2, Switch, 3DS, and Wii-U / Nintendo Switch 2 vs Switch 1’...
Last post by Bomberman - May 29, 2026, 03:46:06 PMThe Nintendo Switch 2 is already about a year old which is wild. Here is a comparison of Switch 1 and Switch 2's first year.
Switch 1 First Year:
1. 1-2 Switch
2. Arms
3. Flip Wars
4. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
5. Pokkén Tournament DX
6. Super Mario Odyssey
7. Splatoon 2
8. Snipperclips
9. Xenoblade Chronicles 2
10 Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Note: Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild is a Wii U game that was also a port for the Switch 1 launch, so I don't know if that counts. The same could be said for Mario Kart 8 and Pokkén Tournament, but I included them since they are rereleases with new content.
Switch 2 First Year:
1. Nintendo Switch 2: Welcome Tour
2. Mario Kart World
3. Donkey Kong Bananza
4. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
5. Drag x Drive
6. Kirby Air Riders
7. Mario Tennis Fever
8. Pokémon: Pokopia
9. Yoshi and The Mysterious Book
10 Kirby and The Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World
11 Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV
12 Super Mario Bros Wonder + Meetup in Bellabel Park
Note: I only included some Switch 2 Editions because they added new content like Mario Kart Deluxe did for Switch 1, but I did not include all Switch 2 editions because some of them are just visually improved ports.
Overall, I think the Switch 2's first year is better than I thought after comparing Switch 1 to Switch 2. I think the Switch 2 wins the better launch year. What do you all think about the Switch 2 launch year? Are you all happy with the Switch 2?
