I don’t know if anyone really cares, but the eShop raised its limit on how much funds you can have stored. It was $250, now it’s $800.

Does that Indy company still give out free switch games every Christmas? No Gravity Games was it? I always missed the first day and never got any.

Thanks Deb. I'm banking that I Told You So for a rainy day. And thanks for trashing SONIC Crossworlds Racing when it came out. Kept me from buying it when it was full price. Getting it at $30 instead is way better.
Really surprised it can run on the Switch 1 at all

Switch 2 for $400 with some GC trickery at Sam’s Club. Also 20% off Nintendo GC.

Edit:
Wow, this is pretty huge. Basically 20% off anything Nintendo. Hardware and software. Limit is $800 per account I think.

Don't tell him that, now he'll be tempted to get it. ;)

I am curious how it is though. Not 100 bucks curious but I'll watch some reviews.

have no desire for a contraption like that. it looks so stupid. and the games look stupider.

This is the first console I think I've bought two of.

All to play Mario Kart World Knock Out races with my mom and sister.

Proud of you!

Honestly, why that weird-ass thing is being sold for 100 when you could get a real VR system playing real spectacular VR games for like 3 times that is totally beyond me.

Finally another GameCube game out for NSO + Expansion

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 
I might pick a VR boy, just to experience it, if not for the fact you have to have the expansion pass to play the games??? Seriously Nintendo?! NSO isn’t enough?! But you can be just a NSO member to buy the dumb peripheral but then discover you can’t play it at all without upgrading to the much more expensive expansion pass?!

I really miss down on their luck Nintendo. Scrappy Nintendo that was willing to do just about anything to win you over.

On the other hand, presuming there's some inherent cost to putting these up (I know it's probably minimal) I'd rather not be paying for VR boy games I'd never use, so let the people buying the 100 dollar peripheral pony up for the expansion pass... ;)

Info on this year's "Switchmas" giveaway by No Gravity Games :
  • The event starts on 12th and ends on 19th of December.
  • All games are now unknown, the only hint being that they will mostly be new titles never before given away for either of their Switchmas events (which aligns with the previously posted list).
  • Last day of the giveaway they'll be giving out 3 games i.e. 11 games in total.
  • You can get a free game for signing up for their newsletter here. If you're already subscribed, you probably won't get that free game.
More info here.

It's free now if you qualify. Read the details in this link.

It's free now but I think you have to have one of their previous games or something?

Decker 12-12-25 09:33 AM

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 
That is correct.
They have tons of games currently on sale for $2.49 each. Not sure if you buy one the chain becomes free for you today. I assume it does, but couldn't swear to it.
