Switch 2 sounds worse every day.

Apparently, there's another technology out there that also helps, but there's no evidence Nintendo used that either.

If you're buying this to sell, be careful. So far, everything I've seen has been backlash. This might not be a hot seller.

It WILL be a big seller because most people are too stupid to know anything other than "It's a Nintendo".

Fair point, but I also think that might be a relic of the past. Those "it's a Nintendo" people aren't parents anymore, they're grandparents. Haven't we reached a point where most people are a bit more savvy about video games?

I bought one. Demand doesn't seem super high, got one from Costco.

I still have a Switch in the packaging I got as a gift from a vendor. I wanted to find a kid to give it to, but I have to find the right family. Giving it to a poor family is cruel considering they'd then have to buy the games...

Yeah, you should give it to me as a backup console for my other consoles :) I can afford the games.

You'll just sell it for drug money.

Yes. Drugs are stupid.

If you're going to waste money, get a sugar baby.

Fine, I'll give it to a 20 year old girl for sex.

That's actually funny. I wonder if that's made the rounds at Nintendo HQ?

Bought it. The hardware is nice than the old one. The virtual game card thing is annoying, it's like a more annoying version of downloaded games.
I've only played the new Mario Kart, it's fun, a bit more chaotic with 24 players. It seems more balanced, harder to get ahead. My kids dominate MK8 on the hardest settings, and on normal CPU difficulty, we couldn't win every race. You cannot customize each piece of a car, so will be interesting to see how the unlocks work as you go along.

Grok says this happened in Staten Island. Only the one store. I'm guessing the person who did this has never opened a box before?
