Seems to be noise that AC is being readied for next year which when you factor in Tomodachi Life is already arriving it would be a serious drive for that particular crowd of consumers, you won't be able to obtain a Switch 2 in Japan either if this is true.

Twenty five days until I can get a Switch 2 with Donkey Kong Bananza!! ^^



Switch 2 pro controller showed low battery after being fully charged and I only used it for like 6 hours total.

So I'm guessing the battery usage is higher due to the extra functions....which makes the Pro 1 controller to be still #1 best controller ever ;(

Anyways, I'm 6 hours into MK World - finished half of all the 150cc races. Won 3 gold and 1 bronze cause of the damn blue shell lol



Anybody here thinks Donkey Kong Bananza is a successor to Banjo-Kazooie?

I mean, they're both 3D platformers starring a big brown hairy guy with a small female character in red on his back, and said hairy guy can be transformed.

About 6 hours ?! No way ... Is the HD Rumble 2 really that hungry of a feature to make the life battery so short ? Here I was hoping for 15-20 hours at least. 

Although, mine isn't unpacked yet, so I'll test it out myself to see if your report is in fact true 

Edit :

Sorry, but I've just did research with multiple outlets stating the battery life is about the same as the Switch 1 Pro Controller ...

So maybe yours has a problem others don't ?

My Pro Controller 2 has lasted around 50 hours twice, so its battery life is about 50% better than a Switch 1 Pro Controller.



Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.

Btb, gotta ask for anyone who's using it. Hum, how's the HD Rumble 2 on it ? Does it feel better than the OG Pro Controller, it always felt so weak in my grip when compared to the Joy Cons ...

Ugh, I hope not, would be pissed off if that was the case.

Anyways, I fully charged mine and gonna see how long it will last now. 

So far I've played 1 hour with it after fully charging it and the meter still looks full so here's hoping its not a issue....my other Switch 1 pro controllers lasted quite a while before I had to charge them.

Nah. As much as I love BK, the closest to a successor to BK is Yooka Laylee (despite it having its own set of issues).

I would say its a successor or baby of two games (DK64 and Super Mario Odyssey). 

DK64's spiritual successor in terms of story themes and lore of DK with Super Mario Odyssey's design and visual style.



Here's the lame excuse as to why we got a lackluster roster for Mario Kart World.
