Okay, spent a good couple of hours with the system.

It's the little things I really like; the way the magnetic Joycons attach is so satisfying, the way it looks is so classy, even the setup was quick and painless compared to say my PS5.

The new Pro controller feels fabulous as well.

So far I am having a great time.

Any updates on an exact release date for Metroid Prime 4?

Will be my first time playing it!



Just got my receipt for my pre-order and also ordered a Switch 2 Pro controller and the Case+screen protector pack.

Got $73 left in my trade credit card - I'll use that later after I trade in some more of my old physical games and use it for some future games.



Sooo looking at early impressions of people playing unpatched Switch 1 game on Switch 2 and it seems like it does boost games which have dynamic resolutions and framerates.

Basically, you likely can play Age of Calamity multiplayer at an acceptable framerate now lol.

Edit :

Just saw footage of one of the most notorious baddest performing games on the Switch, Deadly Premonition 2, actually running at 30 fps on the Switch 2 ...

First tiny bit of sales data has come in. The Switch 2 sold 30,000 units at UK retailer Currys at the midnight launch.

Yeah this was the scene here in Australia at the midnight launch

Even when I went the following morning to JB Hifi (which is used less for games than EB Games) there were like 20-30 other people there to grab one.



We will see once enough data comes in, but I expect the Switch 2 to have the biggest launch in gaming history.

Well I somehow missed the Walmart pre-order cancellations (*knocks on wood*) so far. Says I should receive both orders (mine and my partner's) by tomorrow at 10 P.M, which seems to be a placeholder. Both have charged to my account. Had them shipped to my partner's house since I saved 1% on sales tax doing that (my county has 7% sales tax versus 6% at his.) Won't be able to play it until Friday anyway. There is a Walmart about a 5 minute walk from my house. Might pop in during the morning before work to see if they have anything in stock, since I was going to get one for a close friend of mine too, and it's her birthday next week, but Walmart restricted pre-orders to only two. If none in stock, I do want to pick up some accessories and Cyberpunk for my partner (who will be playing it for the first time.) 



Supposedly there will be "Festivities" at my Gamestop - no idea what it is or what to expect, this will be my first midnight launch lol
