Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25

I thought I would be fine. And I am. But I decided to transfer my SW1 to my SW2 so that immediately filled all my space. I wasn't planning on getting a memory card at all but once that happened I just picked up one of the $35 256 gb ONN cards from Walmart. I underestimated how great it was to transfer everything from the SW1 to the SW2 and playing SW1 games on the SW2....you know since there's basically only MKW to play...

I also bought the ONN one a week before launch, works great and the modern microsd cards are soooo much faster

I think I'm going to buy Tony Hawk 3+4 and DK Banaza tomorrow with a Costco ecard.

^ I’m so terrible at Tony Hawk 3 & 4, it’s hysterical. Playing it on Game Pass. Will buy it on Switch 2 when it goes on sale.

Lo, there was a time when I was pretty good at Tony Hawk games — like, when 3 and 4 were brand new — but when I gave 1+2 a shot, I learned that whatever magic I had was long, long gone. I feel like I've generally aged alright when it comes to gaming, but Tony Hawk and fighting games are definite weak spots these days.

I played 1+2 a ton but never played 3 or 4, the levels are absolutely destroying me (also playing on gamepass)

Learning how to revert into a manual after landing on a ramp is a must to get the high score goals

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25

All the brouhaha over nothing to play and I've had to put MKW and Fast Fusion aside to play Bananza and next week release SMPJ. I don't have enough time for the SW2 only games I have And a Direct coming soon. But MKW and DKB are huge time sinks, and I don't know how many hours of grinding Fast Fusion will take to unlock all vehicles and tracks at which point I will consider it "done" and then just play around with new ship builds and just a race here and there for fun.

And I still have to keep up with Speedstorm and have to finish the current Dreamlight Valley Star Path in the next week (only one main thing to do but it's a chore so I'm putting it off which I shouldn't, once I finish it I need 2 days to finish the path.

I found this to be a rather disappointing Star Path, might be one of the easiest ones we've had and the rewards didn't seem very good overall this time.

I'm trying to finish up the new Storybook Vale DLC, that's been an interesting one.

Basically. It's a toy with an NFC chip inside it, you can scan it to unlock special content in compatible titles.

Yeah, but most don't provide much of use. Just little tiny bonuses. I just liked the figure.

If you want to just get the bonuses, or want to keep the figures mint they have unofficial nfc stickers that you can buy of the various Amiibo.

A new bundle with Pokemon A-Z will be released this fall (I assume with the game's launch). Download code for the game, like MKW was.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25

While the original Mario Party Jamboree is still apparently a rock-solid party game, it sounds like the Switch 2 updates are a dud.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25

I played a little of the roller coaster one and liked it. Bought it mostly for my kids, they're gonna love seeing their faces on screen.

Edit: OMG this thing has AIR HOCKEY. Along with Skeeball (sadly not here), my top 2 arcade games. It was a blast the couple of times I played it. It has 14 mouse games. I tried one other one and it was great also.

AIR HOCKEY. Imma spend 80 hours on just that

Great game for the kids, no regrets.

I was worried about having to have room for mouse controls but I just use it on my leg with pants on and it works perfect. Now getting Drag X Drive for sure.

Yeah! It's wild how flexible the mouse controls are and how well they work.

do you have to only use the mouse function to play these games?

It’s probably a case-by-case thing. I’ve only used it for the mini-games in Welcome Tour.
