Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25

doesn't exist in this title, though I thought someone said they saw it or played it.

Super Mario Party Jamboree on the Nintendo Switch 2 includes a variety of mini-games, but there's no specific "shuttle hockey" game mode. It features over 100 mini-games, some of which are new and utilize the Switch 2's enhanced capabilities, but there is no specific "shuttle hockey" game mode within the title. The game does include other multiplayer modes, like Tag-Team Rules where players work together.

Play the game. That seems to be how to unlock it.

Why are joy-cons so expensive? they cost more than a SW2 Pro controller.

Why do you need another set? Don't you already have plenty of controllers to use in a pinch? I can't imagine anyone needs another set unless they have a house full of little kids playing Mario Kart against each other.
If anything, I'd at least wait until there's a cool collectable extra set of joy con 2's.

it's to use for games that require the mouse, such as air hockey, Metroid Prime 4. i don't want to have to keep taking off and putting my joy-cons from SW2 back on. it's just for ease. plus, i used my credit.

If you apologize here in public for the rude public post you made to me, completely unprovoked which you seem to dislike when done to you (not by me), and promise always to be civil to me from now on and always polite, I'll let you know how to access air hockey. Sucks that you decided to go off for no reason at all on the only person on this forum who can help you with that question.

GatorDeb, I apologize for the rude comments. It was uncalled for, and it was unprovoked. Sorry.

Thanks, buds again.

First up, you need to have bought the 20 bucks upgrade, just the original won't have the new stuff.

Then, in a weird design decision, you won't find it in mini game bay. You need to go into the new TV part which has its own free play mini games section with all the mouse games.

I got the upgrade. I'll have to look for this TV part you speak of later. Thanks!!

Oh boy! It’s been very quiet on the 3rd party front, so I guess this is when we’ll see the floodgates open.

It sounds like a totally unnecessary convenience luxury purchase, which is fine. But the answer to 'Why is it so expensive?' is that someone is willing to pay that much for it. I'd be willing to walk over to my console and detach those controllers many, many times before I'd be willing to spend $90 on another set just so I wouldn't have to. I actually really, really like detaching those controllers; it's kind of the highlight of the entire console.

That said, I am very happy to have spent $75 at Costco on a Pro Controller 2 just so I don't have to manually turn on the console any more when playing in the living room.

I got a notification that Target has these available to ship and also in stock in several area stores. Looks like there is a new Switch 2 Pokemon bundle available too.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25

The joycons have a lot of tech in them, so I get why they're expensive (well that and they make more off of accessories than the consoles, at least at launch). The question I have is, are they any more durable than the last generation?

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25

I didn't understand grips until I got the S2 and actually play all the time, both docked and undocked. Recommendations for grips that make it more comfortable to hold while gaming but you can still dock it with the grips? Extra points if you can still slide the joycons in and out without having to do anything to the grips.

I had a phone charger that did that. It lasted a couple weeks before the lights stopped working. Then it was an overpriced regular charging cord. Me no like overpriced charging cords.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25

I'd be all over a new Animal Crossing.

I gave in and my $85 pro controller 2 is arriving same day (thanks, Walmart plus!). I play 5 mins here, 10 mins there, and it's gonna be awesome not to have to keep pressing that button and just do it from the controller. And I'm always playing when others are sleeping and my TV/monitor doesn't have bluetooth. The audio jack is another huge selling point for me.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem like it.
Man I love Nintendo but it's starting to get difficult to defend them from the many haters they seem to have spawned this generation. Especially when they're positing the SW2 as a premium console and charging as such.

I have an original one of these for the original switch. I absolutely love them. I don't play in handheld without them. They give the console a really nice solid feel so I could hold it with one hand and flail it about if I wanted to. They've since improved the design to make them dockable. They've taken awhile to release these grips though so there isn't much information if the SW2 version are just as good but I don't see why they wouldn't be. They are really expensive though. I would suggest to get the bundle with a case since they're custom made to fit the console with the grip and you won't really find a case that would be able to hold it.
