i never said the SW1 Pro will control the SW2.

Ok, I'm confused. If you already knew the controller from the previous system doesn't fully control the S2, why in the world did you think a WaveBird would?

because it worked very well on SW1. Wavebird connected to SW2, just wasn't great with Wind Waker. and yes, it cannot turn on console. that's all. it was just something i experimented with and unfortunately didn't work. Maybe when more GC games are released I'll bring it out of hibernation.

Well I bought the new one too, so I feel like they should at least do it for me.

Just for when you accidentally pick up the wrong controller?

re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25

No offense but that's one of the dumbest uses of real money I can think of. Why take something that you can use to buy anything, and trade it for something that can only be used in a single storefront?

And before you say, "why do you care", I ask why did you post it?

But the question of "why did you post it" still needs an answer.

re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25

How do you get gift cards without buying/activating them? And how would you activate and/or us them?

I'm so confused. Maybe I need another coffee.

Oh, now I get it.

I don't think anyone assumed you were lying about credit balance though. We're all adult professionals left on this site. We all have some expendable income. Else we wouldn't still be here talking about video games and $80 popcorn buckets.

All I can think of is how bad it would've been if Nintendo for whatever reason changed eshops completely between the switch and switch 2.

they would likely be the same. I mean the gift cards do state they are for Wii, 3DS, Switch.
