...and what's going on with the #Nintendo #GameCube controller they've got coming for the #Switch2

That new ZL button (finally added) looks like it is for ants? 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘰𝘯?! Here's to hoping that 8BitDo makes an alternative that might actually be comfortable to use.

My #Switch2 and March #nintendo Direct reaction stream VOD is now live!!
Come for the Switch 2 chatter, stay for my CRUSHING, AUDIBLE disappointment that the "Zelda is a protagonist" game was just Hyrule Warriors (no offense...not my genre)

Will you buy the new Switch 2?

i bought my Nintendo Switch November 2020, when there was a new "Lockdown" because of the Covid pandemic.
And I'm still in love with it.
But I guess I will not buy the Switch 2.
Beside of Zelda games, the new Mario Kart and the GameCube pass, I will not really need it.

Will you buy it?

Switch 2 reactions are 100% feral on youtube holy shit. People are more angry about a $450 console that, frankly, could not possibly cost less than $400 and is probably already pushing it pre-tarrifs, than they are about literal fascism.

And when fascism makes them raise the price, they'll still be more mad at Nintendo than the fascism. Sigh.

My personal beef is $90 digital games? fuck off. Not that I buy anything digital that I can get physical.

Continued thread

(De manière plus générale, je déteste le ton condescendant des animateurs de ce Nintendo #Switch2 Expérience, où tout est vraiment trop génial, où on applaudit, où on fait des holas, des décomptes avant l’ouverture de portes, … la tyrannie du cool à son paroxysme.)

Vous emballez pas sur la Switch 2, elle va être interdite en Europe de toutes façons. Pas aux normes, trop dangereuse.

J’explique. J’suis à l’event au Grand Palais, y’a des fontaines avec des gobelets. J’prend un gobelet, on m’invite à m’installer à une table pour tester Metroid, je pose mon gobelet sur la table, loin des manettes : interdit. Faut le poser par terre. Moi : « mais c’est pas hygiénique ? ». Le jeune intérimaire de Nintendo : « c’est à cause des manettes, c’est électrique, c’est dangereux ».

Bon ben si la #Switch2 la dangereuse en présence d’eau, faut pas laisser les enfants y toucher, ni la vendre 🤷🏼‍♂️

DER SPIEGEL: #Nintendo stoppt Vorbestellungen der Switch 2 aus den USA wegen Zöllen spiegel.de/wirtschaft/unterneh
Das verrückte ist ja, dass die Switch sogar im Rest der Welt teurer werden könnte, wenn ein Bauteil in die USA eingeführt und weiterverabteitet wird und in der #Switch2 landet.

Perhaps, according to #Nintendo support, the #Switch2 Enhanced Editions were false advertising during the Direct. 𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 (in support) confirmed it's just Switch 1 cards with a code for the upgrade. Still, remains to be seen if that's the case.

Essentially you won't share or buy used copy of the Switch 2 versions, as that's just a code.

Distinct similarities to the original Xbox One attempt to DRM their games at launch (which failed due to outlash)

Interesting, regardless.
