i so want Eternal Darkness and Viewtiful Joe, among others.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

I think Viewtiful Joe is incredibly unlikely since it's not owned by Nintendo.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

that stinks. wonder how many more GC games are not Nintendo owned.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Well, let's find out...

Thanks ChatGPT. :up:

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

thanks Goldberg. i guess 80-90 is better than nothing (not that they'll all get emulated).

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

I hope we get the Rogue Squadron games!

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Interestingly, looking at Wikipedia, they list 651 Gamecube games, and only 66 of those were where Nintendo was the primary publisher, an an additional 4 Pokemon games, so probably 70 or less could be considered "first party" titles.

So ChatGPT's response appears to be a bit off.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Since it's a paid service, especially since it's tied to the expansion pack, it's possible. There are plenty of third party games in the Nintendo classics collection including Capcom games so it's certainly possible if not likely.

I ended up getting a switch 2 last weekend. I went to the Nintendo Store in SF with my family. They had one Switch 2 package with Mario Kart World left (was around 3 or 4 in the afternoon) so I accepted fate and bought it. They give you a wrist band and have you fill out a form for which accessories/games you want to buy. I only got the system. My current Switch (1) was the launch model so I was due for an upgrade. I almost threw the new switch through the window after the problems dealing with transferring data from my old switch; my nintendo accounts were out of date or something. All is good now!

i would love TLoZ: Twilight Princess from the GC vault. i was halfway finished when i got distracted and found something else, but I liked this one, very much.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

You can now buy a Switch 2 on Amazon (at regular prices). Just in case you were someone who, I don't know, maybe had thousands of dollars in Amazon credit sitting around.

I know you said "give it a rest", but I went Unchained anyway.

Man, that was such a minor, good-natured joke. One that didn't even reference you specifically.
If that's all it takes to get you upset -- even after you post huge pictures of your own personal horde of gift cards for no discernable reason whatsoever -- then maybe you are being a bit too thin skinned?

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

yes, but we all know who you were talking about, so let's not kid ourselves. it's just that every time i post, you're right underneath me with some dig or gibe, good natured or not, I'm still a person with feelings and emotions who doesn't feel like being picked on just because i mentioned and i guess showed, my credit collection. was I being sensitive, perhaps, but see I'm a per...

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

I decided to buy, what's the best way to get one? Already have invitation requests at Amazon and Nintendo.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Unless you want to start going to stores to find one locally, waiting for one of those invites to come through is your best bet right now.

Or stalk Wario64 for a Walmart restock.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

I want one NOW :lol: Which store is the best bet?

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

I have no idea. I got mine through Nintendo invite. I haven't been keeping up with which stores are seeing stock come in.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

As I said above, you can try to get one through Amazon. You have to request an invite. Walmart has been getting some for Walmart + members. Best Buy has had a few restocks.
But you might not get one for a while as they have been popular and selling well.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

I guess I'll try coldcalling Best Buy, Walmart, Target, Gamestop, Costco, and Sams's Club. And then hope it doesn't sell out by the time I get there..

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

As I said above, I already have a request at Amazon ;)

It's not guaranteed and the Nintendo one (which I did 2 weeks ago) could take a while.

I'm a Walmart+ member, how do I leverage getting one like that?

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Why the sudden change of heart, Deb?

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Oh I wanted one from day one but have talked myself from buying so far and I finally lost :lol: There's a threat of less being made in the future with tariffs and the threat of price going up with tariffs so I realized I can't just wait if I don't want to end up paying $650 for one. I actually was up and reading this thread on preorder night and I was unable to get one, was trying Best Buy, Target, Walmart, all the biggies.
