Non-Switch 2 question: I got an offer to trade some of my old games (duplicates, don't want nor need) for a nice Let's Go Pikachu Edition Switch, with the original box and whatnot, and only missing the Pokeball. Is there anything special about the Pokeball included with the Let's Go Pikachu Edition Switch or can I just swap in one of the standalone ones?

The Pokeball came with Mew that transferred to your save once sync'd. We had it at one point and never used it so when it was sold later, went for more by including it unused.
 
It's wild what people will pay for a new one of those is, just for Mew in a dumbed down even easier version of a mid Pokemon game.

Again, another warning for an objective review that points out that Switch 2 does indeed have some fun. Don't watch if you only want to hear that Switch 2 is absolutely worthless.

Owners are still winning.

Giving me Donkey Kong 64 vibes and not in a good way, I really hope I'm proven wrong
 
I like the story about the 7 dudes who were charged of stealing $100m worth of jewelry from a truck that was apparently manned by two dudes, one sleeping and one having lunch when it supposedly went down.

Who puts 100 million dollars worth of goods in one truck? The whole thing seems fishy. Who needs Ocean's 11 when all you need is Homer Simpson's 7?
 
I skipped the direct for Bananza as I was busy... but my oldest son watched it and he said I should not watch it since I'm already planning to get it because it looks so good. He's pretty hyped for it.

Winning what?

Can we reverse the script and everyone posting (antagonistically) positive stuff is just trying to stave off buyer's remorse by hoping that each crumb that comes out is the next big thing?

(See the PS3 launch for a grand history lesson on that!)

But yeah, looks neat. Would be the first game I'd be interested in. I'll watch for a used copy at some point. I only spend $40 max on Nintendo games and always buy used.

Best to ignore me since I am an objective thinker and don't bow to the Nintendo overlords like many here. Stating facts is not crapping on a product and I NEVER stated I have no interest in EVER purchasing Switch 2 so you're wrong once again. You are so brainwashed by Nintendo that you can't possibly see that Switch 2 has any flaws. The videos point out those flaws and ways Nintendo can hopefully fix them but they also point out the awesome things it does. You can't comprehend that your Switch 2 isn't perfect. I get it. You spent over $500 on it and so you are going to stick up for your purchase no matter what the facts state. I go through life being objective and not blindly buying a product without weighing it's pros and cons. Right now, Switch 2 has more cons than pros for me and others here. The videos are for people here that might have the same issues letting them know others also are having those same issues and for people that might be on the fence about getting a Switch 2 so they can weigh it's pros and cons and decide for themselves. It also sounds like you haven't even watched the videos because you would know they don't just crap all over Switch 2. Shows more of your ignorance.

Look bro. Nobody thinks it’s perfect. I’ve had trouble with battery and with having to hard reset to power on. I’m not talking about the system.

I’m talking about your interactions with this thread and others. It’s weird. You seem obsessed. It’s like the switch 2 screwed your sister and then ghosted her.

Where was this fervor and research before you dropped $500 plus on the PSVR2 that Sony has basically abandoned in two years time.

I bought PS2, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Wii, Wii U all within launch week and other than Wii Sports none of those had anything to play for a while and I definitely felt a bit of remorse with each of those. I can honestly say that between Mario Kart World and the older Switch games running better this is the most fun I have had launch week of a new console than when I went to my cousins house and played SNES that they got. No remorse at all.
 
They sent gc tp out to die. If I had known that the motion controls were so poor you couldn't even get past some tutorials I'd never have gotten that wii version. I got the plus nub later which made it playable. Think I either couldn't do the fishing tutorial or a horse riding one where you had to jump over the fences.

Made it to the large bridge but never went back to it.
 
Deliberately releasing Twilight Princess three weeks after the Wii launch in North Amrerica was such a joke. They didn't even have enough Wii units to meet demand. No reason at all for the delay, Nintendo just hates its fans and is misanthropic in general. Also pretty low to shit on some of your most loyal fans during one of your darkest hours. But that's Nintendo for you, a company with the attitude of a narcissistic rock star with no moral compass and a drug problem.

The Wii Remote Plus did nothing for Twilight Princess. So it being more playable was only in your mind.

I know nostalgia is strong, but I don't get the "resurgence" of cassette tapes. The sound quality isn't as good, there's rewinding, the hinges on the cases can easily break and the sides crack. It seems like something that can stay in the past.

They’re more durable than vinyl records, don’t get scratchy because of dust, don’t take up as much room, and good quality tape (and I don’t even mean the fancy metal types, just the normal stuff) has comparable or even better sound quality compared to a record, though you do need a player that can isolate and remove the hiss and nobody makes good cassette tape mechanisms anymore (not that the huge majority of modern turntables are any better quality).

Both are crap compared to CDs, of course, but nostalgia doesn’t care.

I am not a fan of Wii motion controlled Zelda. When I sold my Wii a month later I ended up buying an Xbox 360, some games, and TP for the Game Cube which plays a lot better.

The Wii was easily my least favorite Nintendo console. I still believe that had Wii Sports not been such a huge success with the general public that the Wii could have forced Nintendo out of the home console race.

Skyward Sword only sold 3 million copies. Motion controls were killing interest in their core franchises.
 
Wait, are you guys bashing the Wii's launch titles or the Wii's whole library? I won't stand for library bashing. Yes the Wii had tons of shovelware, but also some of the most creative games ever put out. Plus all of the first party titles: Mario Galaxy, Kart, Smash, Animal Crossing, Metroid, etc.
 
Twilight Princess is still my favorite Zelda because of the motion controls. I mean, not only because of them, but the way they were implemented in TP offered a level of immersion (still a buzzword) that, to this day, no other gimmick has—VR, 3D, force feedback, first person, etc.—at least, without being so precise or overused that they grew tiresome. I never had a significant issue with accuracy—sure, what I wanted to happen might not have always been what actually happened, but it was either close enough or infrequent enough that it didn’t impact my enjoyment. TP was one of the few games I went out of my way to do everything in, not because of my completionist tendencies, but because interacting with the game gave me joy.

I get there are plenty of people who see things otherwise, but I love Wii Twilight Princess, so suck it.

Animal Crossing City Folk was awful.

Aside from Galaxy I think the Wii had some of the weakest entries in those franchises. Mine was a dust collector aside from when friends/family wanted to play Wii Tennis and Mario Kart.
