Honestly, if Ubisoft can get its shit together and release a remaster of the Petz: Nursery DS games then I'd actually buy games. DS Games should be remastered.
 
whatever I feel like said:
There's tons of games on my list that are more iconic than stuff like Pikmin 1 or AC 1, SotC included.

LttP is one of the most copied games of all time. Maybe its lessened in recent years but there was a time in the not so distant past where all the Zelda snobs insisted that LttP was the best game of all time and the rest just weren't as good as it.

Honestly being more iconic than pikmin isn't hard, it's a really good game but it never got the recognition it deserved. And it's such a vibe too, no other Pikmin game has anywhere near the same atmosphere of pikmin 1. It's a fun one to revisit, especially after the release of pikmin^2

Possibly I had the Base doom ii on switch so that could have also been it, the eShop said free download so I took advantage

Ah yes, that makes sense, I think the I + II upgrade is free for anyone who owns any of the older releases on any platform. So if you have Ultimate DooM on Switch/Steam/blah you get the recent all-in-one port for freebies on the pertinent platform.

Because I'm counting Switch as part of that generation, and it shits all over the entire 3rd generation on its own (only Game Boy really has many games that hold up well), let alone counting whatever few gems somehow make their way to the other consoles.

Luckily enough good NES games have been ported to Switch so that the latter can at least keep up, sort of. Still lacking the whole NES Ninja Gaiden trilogy, and the first one's trapped on Online.

I’d be a lot more forgiving if other companies hadn’t already done the whole “press a switch to toggle between analog and digital” thing. This would have been the ideal time to improve upon that idea, and Nintendo talking about wanting to make the “perfect controller” seems hypocritical when it leaves out a feature that other controllers have had for several generations and won’t even play those announced Gamecube games as they were originally intended.

GC had that button click when fully pressed though. I would expect GC games to feel weird with a Xbone controller and vice versa (haven't tried tho). If so, they'd have to make a call about whether they'd rather prioritize GC games or have normal triggers more suitable for multiplats. If there's a way for a trigger to pull double duty as a digital button, that's great, if it actually works well. I'd have to check it hands-on.

DOOM + DOOM II is free on the Switch, not sure for how long but its actually pretty fun playing Doom II with a Pro Controller

I read those have mouse support, if that's worth anything to you.

In lieu of that at least it has the superior Xbox trilogy :smug:

A buddy of mine has a 3rd party controller that lets you switch between having the L2/R2 be like normal buttons (just like L1/R1) or have it like GameCube, except there's no click when you press it all the way down. I assume it wouldn't be impossible to add that if Nintendo wanted to.

Mexican prices. for reference

Base console13600 pesos692.6 dollars
Base console with mario Kart World14900 pesos759 dollars
Mario kart World2000 pesos102 dollars
Pro Controller2300 pesos118 dollars

For some people here this would be 2 or 3 months salary XD.

Even the Wii U sold its initial shipment and remember the absolutely insane levels PS3 scalpers were go to secure consoles at launch? Both of them ended up being infinite flops where supply quickly outstripped demand. I'd look at the three months after launch as a much better indicator of whether scalpers will be winners or losers.
 
I am really interested in the pre-order numbers globally. In Japan, the Switch 2 pre-orders are at 2.2 million. In comparison, the Switch netted 300,000 pre-orders. I will say this, Nintendo's first-party games tend to be the best in their respective generations. Going into their next generation, it feels like they are playing their hand well by releasing accordingly and not like the Switch 1.

?

Switch one had what might well be the best launch year line-up of all time. Zelda, Capt. Toad and Mario Kart as cross-gen titles, Mario Odyssey, XC2, Splatoon 2, Arms and Mario/Rabbids as exclusives, Snipperclips and Overcooked as indie exclusives. You have to go back to, like, the NES combining three years of Famicom releases into one to really compare.

Out of curiosity, how does the prices of PC hardware compare? How much more would it cost to build a mid-range gaming rig in Mexico?

I built a PC for my brother earlier this year for about half of the price of the NS2, with the following specs to give you an idea (all prices in USD):
  • Ryzen 5 4600G – $90
  • 16GB Kingston Value RAM – $25
  • 240GB Western Digital Green SSD – $20
  • Gigabyte A520M DS3HK Motherboard – $68
  • MLLSE RX580 2048SP (Chinese card) – $92
That comes to a total of $295, or just under 6,000 mexican pesos, which was his target budget. All components listed were new, except for the GPU, these are refurbished and rebadged cards for the chinese market with official AMD driver support. Despite that, it runs most games at 1080p on medium settings without any issues for a 7+ years old card.

I reused the old case and existing peripherals. However, you could add around $40 for a basic case and a decent keyboard and mouse combo to complete the setup.

If you decide to get a prebuilt PC, they are around $350 but without a video card, as they run on integrated graphics with similar specs. You mileage may vary from store to store

Might be quite late to the party but, aside from the horrendous prices what's everybody excited for? I can't wait for tomodachi life 3 but that's probably the only IP I give a shit about aside from animal crossing which hopefully they'll give us 15 villagers per town again and make us more passive in our role in the town but with the success of ACNH that'll never happen.
