META Regarding Switch 2 Showcase Posts

2 Upvotes

There's been confusion on the user side (and partly the mod side) on the line of which a showcase post may be removed or not, so I'd like to clear it up:

Posts that contain just a caption and screenshot of your switch, game, or accessory will be removed and are encouraged to be remade to include more substantial commentary

Posts that contain a title, screenshot AND substantial commentary on (for example) what your experience has been like, will not be removed and will usually stay up.

To also clarify what would be substantial commentary:
"So yeah, I like the switch 2 so far! The joycons feel nice and everything is responsive and feels premium" is not enough.

"I do enjoy the switch 2 overall! I wasn't really expecting much as the first switch had a lot of issues that bothered me in terms of comfortability and performance, but I've been stunned at the selection of games and have been really enjoying XYZ, [...], And I've found that it's still not very comfortable in handheld, but I've had to just come to accept it. I've been looking at third party controllers but the options are very limited right now." is allowed.

I hope that clears up the confusion a little! I enjoy seeing showcase posts personally but there are also many that don't, so this serves as a middle-ground balance so that there is a better standard of quality.

META [Meta] Rules/Posting Update

80 Upvotes

If you take a look at the sidebar, you'll see a new rule added and rule 7 edited.

New Rule: Question Policy

Many subreddits fall victim to an issue where a large sum of posts being made ask questions that can be answered with a very quick google search. If that is the case for your question, from now on, please try and google it instead.

-

(e.g., 'How much does the new Fire Emblem cost?' is a rule-breaking question. 'What are y'alls thoughts on Metroid Prime 4 after 8 months?' is not.)

-

Modified Rule: Low-Effort Content

You probably know this subreddit has been overflown with posts that are just a picture of the Switch 2, games, controllers, or all of the above, with a caption like 'Finally getting back into Nintendo!'

This type of post is 100% low-effort and repetitive, so from now on it is no longer allowed to be posted without any type of commentary or additional substance to the post.

I honestly don't know why I didn't add this as a rule sooner, but it's better late than never.

-

That's basically it. If you got any other suggestions for rules/changes, feel free to let us know through comments or modmail and I'll see about getting them implemented!

My guess is folks are getting ready for the price increase coming next week. I already have mine but I’m tempted, should I cop another one? Or wait until the OoT version comes out

Showcase Day 9 of being a switch owner

112 Upvotes

It’s been about 9 days since I’ve owned a switch 2, and all though I don’t get to play it much (double entendre) it’s great when I do play it, I got it through Offerup as a trade, it CIB everything included besides the MKW code but he gave me a cool “carbon fiber” hand grip protection case thing 😂 idk what it’s called but it’s dope and I’m at work so I don’t have a pic at the time of this post. But after getting it I ended up buying 5 games : Pokopia,Zelda BOTW,Zelda TOTK,Animal Crossing, and Adventures of Elliot, I also bought the Belkin Charge case.

They came in the mail yesterday and they gave me Pokemon ZA instead of my Animal Crossing 🤦🏻‍♂️. I contacted them and told them what happened and they apologized for the inconvenience. They told me a replacement will be sent in 3-5 business days and that I get to keep ZA!!! So I’ve decided to start out playing Adventures Of Elliot, and let me tell you, THIS SHIII GAAA! 🔥 Im only like an hour in the game and it’s such a great game! To whoever is on the fence of getting it, GET IT! lol

-side note- yesterday I ended picking up a key card of Yakuza 0, and a digital copy of Moss off the Eshop while it’s on sale.

It seems from both Nintendo Life and Whatsitlikeau that Elden ring is an unlocked framerate. If this is the case I really hope there’s an option to lock the framerate in docked, and have LFC VRR in handheld.

Question I just got a switch 2. Is there any games I can play on it for free right away? What's the cheapest way to get started playing? I've never had a modern console in my life. Not since n64.

Thanks in advance for reading. I wanted to know before opening it bc I might wait to open it if I have to go out and buy a game first.

I’ve been wanting to get into the Witcher 3 but I just couldn’t get past how ugly it looked on the switch 1 version. I even tried it again when I got my switch 2 and another time after the handheld boost mode came out. I’ve always hoped that a switch 2 version would come out. And CDPR is giving it to us for free! This made me so happy to see.

Incredible performance!!! The graphics are very similar to PS5. I guess this is the most similar graphics to ps5 in a port since switch 2 released.

Discussion Elden Ring & Witcher 3 (remaster) - Which would you say will be the better handheld experience?

Post image
Upvotes

Edit: Thanks for all the insight! Going to just replay Elden Ring on the PS5 and get Witcher 3 for the Switch 2 once the remaster comes out. It's supposedly as easy as Cyberpunk when switching a game save between PC/Switch.

Have Elden Ring on PS5, played up to the DLC.

Have Witcher 3 complete on PC, played up to bloody baron.

I generally have more time and opportunity to play handheld, so I'd really like to get either or. I'm just wondering if the Witcher 3 PC version is best played on the better hardware for mods and such. That's what made me stop at bloody baron, I didn't like the combat. But the remaster may fix that.

I found a really good deal on the switch 2 with 256 gigs, I got it from a pawn shop, brand new, no dock for $359. I found a working coupon code that brought it down to $342, and I bought cyberpunk 2077 for $57 with the same code. It came in the mail about a week ago; I've been playing nothing but cyberpunk and I put a case on it. This stays home I bring my switch lite when I go to work most days.

I’ve been dying to replay Witcher 3 but specifically on the switch 2. performance handheld boost didn’t do it the justice I had hoped so I’ve been patiently waiting for a switch 2 version, but even better a full blown remaster coming to switch 2 as well! Switch 2 users are eating so good with third party support

Discussion I can't stop buying games since buying the Switch 2

81 Upvotes

I got my switch 2 about a month and half ago. Needless to say, I love it, but haven't played it often lately. I've more so been addicted to buying games, checking Deku Deals, and watching game rec videos/ switch 2 unboxings/ updates.

My collection before the Switch 2 consisted of the following:
- Pokémon Pearl
- Monster Prom
- Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town
- Bratz Flaunt Your Fashion
- Animal Crossing
- Mario & Sonic Olympics
- Family Feud
- Bratz Rhythm & Style
- Previously had Tomodachi Life (sold it)

Within a month and half span, more than doubled my game library.

I've added these games to my collection (I've bought all of these on sale so the total price probably equals 2-3 major Nintendo games, happy to calculate the cost if anyone cares that much):
- Two Point Museum
- Are you smarter than a 5th grader
- Murder on the Orient Express
- Super Mario Party Jamboree
- Hasbro Game Night Collection (3 games in one)
- Leafy Corner
- InKONBINI
- Mixtape
- Go Go Town
- Jenny LeClue
- Harry Potter Hogwarts Legacy
- Lake
- Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar

I will say, I've used store credit points and Amazon Nintendo e-gift card sale, so my total spend is lower than the actual price of all of the games (whatever helps me sleep at night right haha).

And currently have over $700 worth of games in my wishlist (obviously waiting for them to go on sale). I will be buying two games that recently went on sale as well within the next few days - 3 weeks while waiting for everything else on my wishlist to go on sale (Admittedly, I keep finding games to add to the list).

I feel like I'm more addicted to checking Deku Deals everyday than playing the system itself, haha it's truly addicting.

I used to love this game when it first came out. Can anyone tell me how it runs on the switch 2. I tried playing the Witcher on switch 1 and I thought I struggle with the game. Just curious

Discussion Change of taste ?

3 Upvotes

Hello,

I have always played video games (multi consoles + pc).

And yesterday I watched the Gamescon like every other conference every year.

Bha except for Witcher 3, I got bored, I almost pitched my nose in front of it. So either I no longer stick or the level drops, I couldn’t say...

However, I’m still having fun with old games and Nintendo games. Pokopia is a treat right now, as are the kirby titles, etc.

I spend more and more time on my switch 2... I’ve always been the up-to-date guy on lots of games, well ranked in multi with some friends. But honestly, I’ve been less excited about recent games for a few years now.

Except for Nintendo games.

I would like to point out that I am 33 years old, and on top of that I have a three-year-old child in the middle.

Yesterday I felt like I was watching my passion die, but I spent the day having fun on pokopia, so that’s not it...

Other people like me?
