Just got back from my local Walmart with a Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle! Woo hoo! Feels good to be able to walk into a store and buy a console on launch day.

I fiddled around with Odyssey. Can you choose between performance or resolution? I didn't see an option.

Feels like everyone has one except me.

Would have been easier to go to a store in the morning and get one over the counter.

Sorry to hear that. Sad

At least you have one on its way though I guess.

It arrived.

Refuse to do it till I do the system transfer.

It's saying its going to transfer and remove my Splatoon 2 and Animal Crossing save data from my OLED so I can't play on it there.

I don't mind but the Splatoon and Animal Crossing downloaded data will take up a huge chunk of Switch 2s hdd.

Build quality of the system is great, even above the OLED, very premium.

Huge though.

Thumb sticks are too short, I'm getting thumbcaps.

No way I can use mouse mode without some sort of controller shell.

This console is the nicest looking product Nintendo has ever put out. It's beautiful. The screen is HUGE and the visuals so crisp, makes switch 1 look like a kids toy. Honestly can't imagine letting kids handle this thing, it feels like $400. On dock mode I feel I lose some color, I don't know if it's something with my OLED, or maybe on handheld they have color and contrast up all the way or something. Odyssey looks incredible. Zelda echoes now runs silky smooth through areas where there were frame drops. Metroid looks better.  Oh the joycons feel much more sturdy and the magnets are so good. Still I rather use my pro controller. Oh and rumble much better.




Mario Kart is a ton of fun, especially the elimination mode. That's where you travel from one track to another and lose 4 racers at each checkpoint. Basically it's a survival mode. The tracks are lively with tons going on. Game looks nice, runs beautifully. Online ran perfectly for me and it's so chaotic. Now with 24 racers it's wild shit happening, I went from 3rd place to last in line 4 seconds. The free roam seems to have little things to do and hard to reach items, I like it so far but they could have put much more and better content there. Oh online mode needs some kind of ranking system, or progress or anything. It's just race against randoms.

It even smells like high end hardware. Switch never had that.

Tell your wife that your bros on the Internet won't consider you a real man without HDR.

Like the Internet said Switch 2 feels incredibly thin, even though it's the same thickness as normal Switch.

Because it's so large, you expect it to be chunky.

Also, like my phone, whenever you want to set up a new device it starts with the screen on like 10% brightness with no way to alter it until setup is complete.

When was this ever considered a good idea?

My daughter has been driving around in free roam collecting as many outfits as possible. I got to admit the old school Mario tunes are hitting me in the feels.

Did the system transfer and it's trying to redownload all 374 digital games I own.

I'm having to manually cancel them one by one. It's ridiculous, no mass edit option.

I haven't played any games yet as Mario Kart is downloading, but so far the screen is definitely no OLED.

The Dark theme helps.

Yeah, it wanted to download a bunch of my digital games and dlc. Canceled each one as well. A mass cancel would have been nice. Thankfully I didn’t have all that many though.

I'm going to hold out for an OLED model.

I've had my Switch 1 on dark mode so long I'd forgotten there were other theme options, lol

Actually  I tried Mario Odyssey on it and wow, not far off OLED quality.

Helps that the technical update is pretty incredible. It looks as good as what a remaster would.

I gave up cancelling them. I'll mass delete them instead.
