So it’s $39.99 basically everywhere right now.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Has anyone gotten Kirby Air Racers yet? Is it fun?

Also I saw the $50 Air Racers Amiibos (which reportedly weren't going to be available until April or something) at Best Buy. They're big and the riders are interchangeable, with little metal contacts on their feet and on the kart seats. Nobody is going to buy a set of two for $100 though. Insanely overpriced.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

It's probably waiting under the Christmas tree for me, and I haven't goofed around with the demo myself. The impression I get is that it's very divisive: a racing game that's not exactly a racing game, an action game that's not exactly an action game. People who love it seem to really love it, and the people who don't...well... Kirby Air Riders is apparently a lot deeper than it would seem to be at a glance, and it seems to come down to how much someone's willing to embrace the chaos.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

I love it. I haven't gotten to play it more than the two hours in the demo because of Speedstorm, but it's a ton of fun. The best description is that it's Super Smash Bros with a little bit of Mario Kart. You can for instance in City Mode choose to acquire power ups or spend the whole time getting in the way and blowing up other people that are trying to get theirs. City Mode online it's where it's at.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Man, I am so glad I bit on the half off Sonic Crossworlds, I've put in 5 hours and it's a blast. I love it. Completed the Grand Prix now on to the various game modes and online. The Switch 2 upgrade is coming out within the next couple of days and for a few days it will be half off at $5 vs. regular price of $10. I have a case on my Switch 2 that holds a handful of games so it's not the end of the world that it's physical. I'll wait a year or so and since it's not a first party game the DLC will drop in price significantly and I'll swoop it up then. I hated the demo but love the full game, goes to show you a demo can be very technically different than the finished product. I'm starting to prefer the S2 vs. my Windows handheld/Steam because it just WORKS, I love connecting it to the TV and I'm ready to go, taking it over to the dock connected to the computer, playing handheld. There's something to be said about dedicated consoles (Decker gets ONE "I told you so"). The controller is phenomenal. Back to SRCW, the music is just banging. One of the funnest games I've played in a while.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

I don’t know if anyone really cares, but the eShop raised its limit on how much funds you can have stored. It was $250, now it’s $800.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Does that Indy company still give out free switch games every Christmas? No Gravity Games was it? I always missed the first day and never got any.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Thanks Deb. I'm banking that I Told You So for a rainy day. And thanks for trashing SONIC Crossworlds Racing when it came out. Kept me from buying it when it was full price. Getting it at $30 instead is way better.
Really surprised it can run on the Switch 1 at all

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Starts December 9th. Or at least it did last year.

Gonna pull a Decker here...

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Oops, sorry.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

:D all good. Just taking friendly pot shots at you.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Virtual Boy preorders are live.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

What is it exactly?

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

A waste of $100.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Don't tell him that, now he'll be tempted to get it. ;)

I am curious how it is though. Not 100 bucks curious but I'll watch some reviews.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

have no desire for a contraption like that. it looks so stupid. and the games look stupider.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

This is the first console I think I've bought two of.

All to play Mario Kart World Knock Out races with my mom and sister.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Proud of you!

Honestly, why that weird-ass thing is being sold for 100 when you could get a real VR system playing real spectacular VR games for like 3 times that is totally beyond me.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Finally another GameCube game out for NSO + Expansion

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

I might pick a VR boy, just to experience it, if not for the fact you have to have the expansion pass to play the games??? Seriously Nintendo?! NSO isn’t enough?! But you can be just a NSO member to buy the dumb peripheral but then discover you can’t play it at all without upgrading to the much more expensive expansion pass?!

I really miss down on their luck Nintendo. Scrappy Nintendo that was willing to do just about anything to win you over.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

On the other hand, presuming there's some inherent cost to putting these up (I know it's probably minimal) I'd rather not be paying for VR boy games I'd never use, so let the people buying the 100 dollar peripheral pony up for the expansion pass... ;)

Info on this year's "Switchmas" giveaway by No Gravity Games :

• The event starts on 12th and ends on 19th of December.
• All games are now unknown, the only hint being that they will mostly be new titles never before given away for either of their Switchmas events (which aligns with the previously posted list).
• Last day of the giveaway they'll be giving out 3 games i.e. 11 games in total.
• You can get a free game for signing up for their newsletter here. If you're already subscribed, you probably won't get that free game.

More info here.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

First free game from No Gravity Games Switchmas is

Bullets & Brains

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

when does this become free? it's coming up $14.99 for me.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

It's free now if you qualify. Read the details in this link.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

It's free now but I think you have to have one of their previous games or something?

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

That is correct.
They have tons of games currently on sale for $2.49 each. Not sure if you buy one the chain becomes free for you today. I assume it does, but couldn't swear to it.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Haven’t actually bought a Switch yet, maybe today.

Looks like you need to be on a Switch to claim the free no gravity games. Or is there a way to claim them from a browser?

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

I got my freebee this morning off my phone's browser.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Thanks Decker. I probably never got my initial game from them to activate the freebies I guess. Got the code for joining the newsletter. Will try to activate that one via this browser.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Code redemption attempt gives me this error code:

Error Code 9001-0023

To continue, please access Nintendo eShop on a system linked to this Nintendo Account.


Maybe the daily games will work from a browser once I get a no gravity game in my account? Hmmm.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Try accessing from the new Nintendo Store App, available from Apple App and Google Play store.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Great idea! But same error code.

Maybe if I buy a cheap no gravity game thru the app the daily freebie will then work. Or I’ll just stop by Costco after this movie and finally buy my Switch.

Thanks for the help Decker, you’re one of our best.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Found this on Nintendo support, looks like I need to access an actual Switch at least once.

Important

• A Nintendo Account is required to redeem download codes online.
• You must first access the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch 2 or Nintendo Switch using your Nintendo Account at least once.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Ah, well I've certainly done THAT before. :lol:

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Got my two free games from NoGravity!

Just had to spend $550 at Costco……
