Nintendo switch 2 edition physical games are now complicated.
They might just be red coloured Switch 1 carts with a download code for the upgrade. At least that's what a customer service agent at Nintendo UK said.
So if you resold the game, could the new owner use the upgrade code? Or is the upgrade code embedded on the game carts?
And what happens 20 years from now if the servers are down and you want to redownload the upgrade?
Quoting myself, basically this story was a hoax.
When a youtuber emailed Nintendo UK to clarify, they replied back, he showed the whole email.
The Switch 2 edition games have all the necessary data on the cart, they aren't just switch 1 carts.
Yes, even more so because the quality of the story is the main reason to play these games!
From what I played in the demo and from interviews the story is all done by the Zelda team and Koei Tecmo doing the game design. So it felt really authentic to BOTW.
I just saw that the DK game only launches mid July. That's the game I'm most interested in, so I might just wait a bit and not pre-order at the moment.
Universal is planning a theme parc in Bristol, UK. Hopefully that'll include a Mario section. Would save me a trip to Japan or the US as the kids keep nagging me about going there.
I've had a CRT tv stowed away in the attic for a couple of years now, waiting for renovation works to end and enough stuff to have been moved around so I could place it under our living room TV. Today was the day. I brought it down (heavy motherfucker), cursed when it dawned on me it was heigher than I had expected, neccessitating that I move all my GC, Wii and WiiU games, and put it in the cabinet. I switched it on and was greeted by a disconcerting buzz that doesn't seem to go away. I'll try blowing some pressurized air through it later to see if I can get rid of the buzz. If not I fear I'll just have to toss it out.
He says that Nintendo will have no standard price and that they will price games based on what they feel it's worth.
He said my world price is not setting a precedent and that other Nintendo games will be cheaper.
It's kind of like with the Wii U when they brought in lower priced first party games like Captain toad and Kirby's rainbow curse. Except this is going in the opposite direction.
New Star Wars from Respawn is reportedly called Star Wars: Zero Company
08.04.25 - The Star Wars game in the works at Respawn is said to be called Star Wars: Zero Company. This is reported MP1ST.com with reference to unspecified sources.
According to the report, the presentation is planned for 19.04.25, when the Star Wars Celebration takes place in Japan. First internal screenshots show a turn-based tactics game with isometric perspective. You can see characters such as Mandalorians, a droid and stormtroopers.
The scene is set in a rescue mission. It takes place in an industrial environment. The Kafrene Mining Colony serves as the central location. There is an in-game node with areas such as Armory, Holotable, Special Operations and Black Market.
The title was in development internally under the name "Bruno". Content details are limited so far. However, the concept has a clear focus on tactical group management. Respawn and EA have not confirmed the report.

I liked the demo but the choppy framerate always put me off.
I hope it gets better on switch 2.
It feels a bit annoying that the only way to get the full story of these Zelda games is to get a Hyrule Warriors game.

I feel I need to play it at some point.
Just managed to pre-order switch 2 thanks to a Resetera thread.
I was worried that I'd have to wait weeks or months more after launch given demand.
Got the Mario kart bundle, saved £55 off the physical price. Fuck it.
Now that I have a lot of stuff to trade in, I'm hoping to preorder with Gamestop...sometime.
I just saw that the DK game only launches mid July. That's the game I'm most interested in, so I might just wait a bit and not pre-order at the moment.
Last game I have left is DK64
UK Switch 2 editions are £65 here.
I don't have many Switch 1 games I don't already own that I want on Switch 2.
Maybe Kirby. But I'd rather buy used and buy the upgrade fee for most.
No but I have enough floor anyway.
The Canadian pre-order for the Switch 2 has been delayed to align with the US date. That sucks.
It doesn’t like naughty words.
I don’t like it either. Sometimes it’ll try and change “hell” to “he’ll” on me.
I always turn off autocorrect. I don't need a digital aid to make typ'os.

I want to get Cyberpunk but I need to see if it ends up performing decently enough.

So are videogame tarriffs on pause for ninety days. Quick, let me preorder!
