This weekend I played some Super Mario Galaxy in anticipation of the rerelease of Galaxy 2.  I also played some of the Bananza dlc and feeling the buyer's remorse.

Nintendo releasing paid DLC this soon after the initial release is very un-Nintendo.

Really sad to see Nintendo going full on greedy, and adopting the worst industry practices.

I bought it, so I am feeding the greed.

We've all done so, or these practices would've been stomped out years ago.

Hi everyone, super busy. Not gaming. Not doing anything really other than work and work on my farm.

I have a question on Switch 2.  When you transfer your games and content to the Switch 2 from Switch, does that mean you cannot access said content on Switch 1 any more?  Or are DL games and content available on both?  I'm || close to gettig a S2 before they raise the price on it. Sad

I vaguely remember reading that Konami won't re-release Twin Snakes because Nintendo had paid for its development, and wouldn't allow it to be released on non-Nintendo platforms or something like that. Simlar to how they wouldn't allow MS to release Goldeneye until recently. Hopefully, something could be worked out someday for Twin Snakes too; that's the MGS I played originally.

I figured it was something like that.

I haven’t even played any of it yet and am already feeling buyer’s remorse. LOL

Heard some not very good impressions on it.

I don't own a Switch 2, but I looked into it. Yes, you can keep playing your digital games on your Switch 1 after your Switch 2 transfer. Your digital games are tied to your Nintendo account, not the console. However, you will need an internet connection to play them on your secondary Switch; this is to prevent mulitple people from playing the game at the same time. Physical carts don't have this limitation. Whichever console you set as your primary Switch, also doesn't require an internet connection for offline games.

Apparently, my progress hasn't been saving in Harvest Moon on NSO. I thought that "writing in your diary" and going to bed saved the game?! I downloaded the pdf manual, and it states that's how it works. But when I went back to the game just now, there's have no freaking diary save file. Nothing. WTF?

For now on, yes. Since Nintendo's official emulators aren't trustworthy.

That could be a bummer for my application (Daughter's Switch is on Aeroplane Mode by default to keep her from getting onto YouTube or initiating large downloads).  Similarly, it gets used a lot in the car and other places...

It's not a deal killer, I'll just have to be thoughtful about how we manage things, I guess.

SW Outlaws objective indicator is pure trash. I'll often follow it, be standing right on top of it, and there's no item or mission.

And it leads you to a general area and makes you look around, everytime to find whatever you're looking for.

So you'll often have to just clear out all the enemies so you can walk and jump about freely to look for a terminal or shaft.

Everything transfers to switch 2 but your digital library also stays saved on your Switch 1.

Unfortunately the game key icons are all set to switch 2.

If you go back to switch 1 you have to load the key card icon back onto your OG switch.

It's a bit of faff but not too painful. Then you don't need a net connection to play it.

You can. Also lend out your digital games to anyone for 2 weeks, provided you have real world contact with them. If your friend lives in Mexico he can't lend you anything unless you live next door.
