Deb, I've already requested it from the Library here. You can borrow it after me. Edit: There's one left available at Indian Springs so I got that one being sent to me. If there's no time limit on this, I can just wait until mine is ready to pick up close to home. |
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
Well let me know if you get that one before I get mine sent. I don't know how it works with the Library.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
You know you would still need the cart to play after upgrading, correct?

I have both Zeldas on the way before I heard of this, Imma try to buy their upgrade packs. Too bad I didn't know about this before getting Mario Party Jamboree, would have gotten it for $20 vs $80 (still love it, but $60 is $60). |
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
Yeah it feels like WB messed up with this big time.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
Nintendo doesn't require the cart after you upgrade to S2 version the way PS4/PS5 did?

Reddit. Haven of nothing but factual posts.
If it is true, there is a 0% chance Nintendo doesn't patch it out within a week and break the games of anyone who was doing it. |

It's $22 right now. Which is an unbelievable price for one of the best open world games to come out in the last 5 years. Support the devs if you want to play it.

People Are Downloading Hogwarts Legacy for Free on Switch 2Of course this isn't correct. It's $10, not free. But still. |
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
So it's a WB thing, not a Nintendo thing. That I can see.
Why is it just coming out in articles now? Is the upgrade usually more expensive than $10? |

The Steam version is regularly on sale for close to $10 ($12.59 on Fanatical right now, for example), so they're probably fine with people paying $22 for it.
I actually have the physical version and I wonder if I should just open my switch 2 and buy the upgrade pack before they take the option away... ;) |
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
I made it through 9 minutes of Kirby AIr Riders before I turned it off. There's nothing necessarily bad with it, but for me specifically there's no need for it when I have Mario Kart World and Sonic Crossworlds. Pass for me.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
Kirby Air Riders - November 20th!
I wonder what the schedule will look like othrrwise. Is Nintendo going to double-up on a month? Will it be Metroid Prime 4 in September and Hyrule Warriors in December (or vice versa)? Will there be a surprise Mario anniversary game before the year’s out? |
