Anyone rushing for an SD card has time


Mario Kart World - 23.4GB
Donkey Kong Bananza - 10.0GB

I went to Currys. Pay up front. They can take up to 10,000 preorders and then cut off. So hopefully won’t be supply probs. I reluctantly bought a controller as speedy was saying the old controllers won’t be able to power the console on!

Ordered DK from Shopto as there’s a couple quid off if use code SPRING.

What do you mean, as in the games will fit on the internal memory so no need for an express card right away?

I was hoping (lazily assuming) Metroid 4 would be a launch title. Still, more then excited to play MKW and Ridge Racer

[wakka]

Yeah there's 256GB of storage so it'll be ample.

oh that sucks. From Ninty site -
"You cannot exit sleep mode on Nintendo Switch 2 using the HOME Button on Nintendo Switch controllers such as Joy-Con and Nintendo Switch Pro Controller

Missed opportunity to make Ridge Racer 99.

Thanks for finding the reference. Had to double check that a sec. You may have added a 2 there at the end by mistake as the page is just about Switch 1 accessories. 😅

Fixed (forgot my glasses today)

is there a technical reason the old controllers won’t work or is it just Nintendo tax?

just got confirmation from Argos that I will receive my console on Launch day

They do work, with the exception of the home button to exit sleep on Switch 2.

Enough storage for 12-15 Nintendo games or half a Call of Duty

I posted the UK requirements to be able to pre-order one a few pages back, you have to have had 2 years unbroken subs to Nintendo online, have a current active one, with an unspecified amount of active game time (which you're sharing the data of with Nintendo) and have email marketting enabled.

How do you share your game play data with Nintendo I couldn't see any options for this. I had a look around the Switch options last night and couldn't find it.

Yeah, think I'm going to wait a little on this one. £485ish here in Norway, games are ~£72 and a pro controller £90. And I was most hyped for Ridge Racer and the Gamecube classics while watching the Direct so maybe I have gaming fatigue?

Edit: Pre-orders delayed in the US because of the tariff-stupidity: https://www.theverge.com/news/643483...elayed-tariffs

I don't know what will make me happier: Nintendo to increase the price or absorb the added costs.

John Lewis has orders open, just nabbed a MK World bundle
