I'm loving the Switch 2 so far. The open world of MK World is so fun and relaxing. Also Cyberpunk 2077 looks incredible. Also runs so smooth. Very happy so far!

Question. In order to unlock all the outfits do I need to swap out the character I’m playing as, and if so, is there a simple way to do that without leaving free roam?

from what I see, once you unlock your racer and complete courses through Grand Prix; if you aim for the food items it will automatically unlock that specific skin.

Once you do a new Grand Prix, you can pick any skin as the default skin for that. For Free Roam, you have a option in menu to easily change what character you want to go about with while doing whatever you want in the open world.

It’s really easy to switch what character and what cart you want.

Favorite course sofar is Bowsers Castle; with Rainbow Road and Boo Cinema right behind.

And can you get food in free roam? Because I’m not going though Grand Prix with every character just for outfits lol

Just did some for Peach actually in Free Roam, so that is a option too~

Got my Switch 2. I’ve transferred everything from my original and wiped it in preparation of giving it to my little cousin.* I’ve got the relevant games updated with their free updates and now I’m downloading the Switch 2 Editions of BotW and TotK then finally Mario Kart World. Right now I can say Mario Odyssey looks absolutely gorgeous for the short time I tested its update. I had to stop because since it uses a connection it pauses downloads when playing it. Testing out 3D World + Bowser’s Fury now.

*Most save data is only copied so if you don’t purposely wipe your old Switch it’ll still have most data after transferring, even your account.

Edit: Bowser’s Fury looks great too.

I played a good amount of BotW last night. While I can’t tell an immediately obvious difference in frame rate just exploring it definitely feels much easier to pull off flurry rushes and parries in combat. The game is very noticeably brighter and more beautiful with vastly improved textures. I’ll go into Tears when I’m ready to actually dive in and finish basically the whole game. For BotW all I need to do is collect the voice notes for my completed save file.

Also, Zelda Notes, just for the official interactive map, is amazing. One amazing thing it does is that it’s treated like actually using GPS so your phone will never go to sleep while using it!

It finally became available so I ordered a Switch 2 case from the same company that made the case I had for the Switch 1, RDS Industries.

The basic one is only $20 so it’s half the price of Nintendo’s and actually has a handle.

My friend got a second Switch

So I have one now, still transferring data and been too busy to enjoy it much yet

But played Fortnite on it and love how much quicker the system is and so far it runs much better then Switch 1

For sure this is a system I would say is not for everyone, the launch is very weak. MK is cool but I have yet to see one review say its worth 80 bucks and was looking at the store..and just not much "new" to play

Its good for people like me with a library of games or if you are one of the 5 people in the world who did not pick up switch 1

But if you do no have one, and need time or want to wait then go for it. This is not a must have system its like the the PS5 and while its quicker and thats nice, it does not have enough exclusives to make it a must have in my eyes

It’s also good if you’re like me and already have some games you’re looking forward to this year and just wanted the security of already having it when the time comes. Even without the employee discount I got I’m so happy I got mine at launch because from everything I’ve seen online and first hand the hype is definitely real. This thing is going to be #1 or at least #2 for Christmas shopping easily.

what games are those?

I'm assuming third party because only DK is the only exclusive for the system I see coming out

Pokemon and Metriod are on both...which is why this feels like PS4 to PS5

DK, Kirby because I bought it on a Black Friday sale but never started it so I’m just going to wait for the upgrade now for my first play through, and Metroid because I didn’t wait 15 years to NOT play this game at its best lol.

Not to mention I’m sure we see at least one other big game this year that hasn’t been announced yet.

Also this is just my list of what I’m looking forward to out of what’s been announced. I also have unplayed Switch games in my backlog to play.

But this is my point when telling others this is not a needed system right now

The Switch has two exclusives announced

If people want it cool but just telling others for now this system is not needed, its cool if you can get it but don't dip into your saving to get this sytem

 

[mccgavin]

The Switch has two exclusives announced

There's 4 exclusives announced for this year so far. Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, Kirby Air Riders, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. There's even more if you count smaller download-only titles.

It's also very possible there could be more big releases later this year we don't know about yet.

Three announced

One out

Anyway I know this is a Nintendo thread, but I’m just trying to make people with fomo understand your at least if now not missing much unless you need the extra speed of loading Games, then saying your good and grab one when you can but don’t feel like your missing out

 

[mccgavin]

Glad to see this series branch out. No date was given, but I could see this help fill the release line-up this year.

My Pro Controller 2 came in and it feels sooooooooooo good. Also here’s a PSA for those of you like me that never had an HDR capable console before.

HGiG explained: what is HGiG? How do you get it? And should you use it?

HGiG is designed to make HDR gaming better – but does it work?
