Both the games but also the console itself. Switch 1 was a huge success and now they are milking their fan-base. </p><p>They are even going back to the LCD screen with bezel instead of succeeding the Switch OLED model that had such a phantastic screen/body ratio. They know that people will still buy it at release since this console has other major selling points. This allows them to come up with a Switch2 OLED model at a later point in time, once sales are stagnating 🙄</p><p>I'm in a way disappointed but also not really surprised.

Chris 👾<p>It wasn't immediately apparent in the trailer but <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/TheDuskbloods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheDuskbloods</span></a> - the new <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/FromSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FromSoftware</span></a> game will be a PvPvE multiplayer game, which is a bit disappointing, ngl. PvE, like Monster Hunter - maybe. But PvP will inevitably ruin the fun (for me) and I'm very skeptical about multiplayer PvP with voice chat on a Nintendo console.</p><p>"Developed for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2; 'THE DUSKBLOODS’ is a PvPvE title with online multiplayer at its core, where up to 8 players vie for supremacy among themselves and against challenging foes. Play as the "Bloodsworn"; a group that has transcended human strength thanks to their special blood, and throw yourself into a violent fray for "First Blood" as the twilight of humanity approaches."</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gaming</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/gamingnews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gamingnews</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Switch2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Switch2</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/nintendodirect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nintendodirect</span></a></p>
Infrapink (he/his/him)<p>Thoughts on the Switch 2 Direct.</p><p>Mario Kart World looks like an open-world kart racing game. Yeah, that looks amazing.</p><p>Damn, that is a LOT of coputrons packed into a tiny volume. Irritating that it won't work with normal µSD cards.</p><p>Nintendo finally introduced voice chat in a very Nintendo way. This is going to ruin Splatoon 4, right?</p><p>Also a big focus on mouse controls. I wonder how many games will actually make use of those.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Switch2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Switch2</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/NintendoSwitch2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NintendoSwitch2</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/NintendoDirect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NintendoDirect</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Nintendo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nintendo</span></a></p>
Splatoon Unofficial :inkling: 🍉<p><strong>News / Nintendo Switch 2: Pricing information has been revealed for Switch 2</strong></p><p>Didn't have enough space to reveal this in my previous post, sorry.</p><p>The Switch 2 officially releases worldwide on June 5th 2025. For the console without Mario Kart World bundled in, it will cost US$449.99 / €469.99 / £395.99 / ¥49980 (restricted Japan only model¹) / ¥69980 (unrestricted model¹).</p><p>We don't have enough evidence of this yet, but it looks like games will have a price increase by roughly £15-25 on Switch 2 (for context, most Switch games² cost around £50). It also looks like prices will be slightly discounted if you buy it digitally. </p><p>Referring to Mario Kart World since it's probably a full priced game, it costs £74.99 for physical and £66.99 for digital. For Donkey Kong Bananza, it costs £66.99 for physical and £58.99 for digital.</p><p>Pre-orders open at different times depending on region. For the UK, it'll be open on the 8th of April on an invite only basis for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers who have held a subscription for 2 years or more, has spent a certain amount of time playing Switch games, shares usage data with Nintendo and receives promotional emails from Nintendo. See more information at <a href="https://store.nintendo.co.uk/en/nintendo-switch-2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">store.nintendo.co.uk/en/ninten</span><span class="invisible">do-switch-2</span></a>.</p><p>¹ Likely due to the weak Yen, there's two different models of Switch 2 in Japan. The restricted Japan only model (~£260 / ¥49980) will only allow Japanese Nintendo Accounts and will only support the Japanese language to prevent resellers. The unrestricted model (~£360 / ¥69880) will allow all region Nintendo Accounts and will support all languages.</p><p>² Only major exceptions are Smash Ultimate, Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild afaik which are priced at £60 instead.</p><p><a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/%E3%82%B9%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%83%88%E3%82%A5%E3%83%BC%E3%83%B33" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>スプラトゥーン3</span></a> <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/%E3%82%B9%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%83%88%E3%82%A5%E3%83%BC%E3%83%B3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>スプラトゥーン</span></a> <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/Splatoon3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Splatoon3</span></a> <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/Splatoon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Splatoon</span></a> <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/Nintendo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nintendo</span></a> <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/NintendoSwitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NintendoSwitch</span></a> <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/NintendoSwitch2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NintendoSwitch2</span></a> <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/NintendoDirect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NintendoDirect</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://lemmy.world/u/splatoon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>splatoon@lemmy.world</span></a></span></p>

Kari<p>I was thinking about getting the new Switch 2 to play Pokemon Legends ZA, but after seeing the games' prices, it will be a hard pass for me. $90 for a physical game is insane. <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Switch2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Switch2</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/NintendoDirect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NintendoDirect</span></a></p>
Splatoon Unofficial :inkling: 🍉<p><strong>News / Nintendo Switch 2: More details have been released about the Switch 2!</strong></p><p>Nintendo has shared more information about the capabilities and improvements that the Switch 2 offers in today's Direct. These include:</p><ul><li>1080p120 HDR screen (from the 720p60 SDR screen on original Switch)</li><li>Up to 2160p60 docked output (1080p60 on original Switch)</li><li>256GB internal storage (up from 32GB)</li><li>microSD Express support ONLY </li><li>Built in microphone and support for external USB cameras </li><li>Two USB-C ports</li></ul><p>We've also gotten news about new features that will allow you to make the best of Switch 2. These are GameChat and GameShare. </p><p>The former will allow you to chat with your friends using the built in microphone, as well as an external camera if you'd like, whilst playing games. You can play the same games as each other or something completely different: the choice is yours. This is available for all games when playing on Switch 2.</p><p>GameShare is a modern successor to the Download Play function that appeared on the Nintendo DS and 3DS, which will allow you to stream your screen to multiple Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 devices nearby using similar technology as the Wii U. You can stream up to different 3 consoles locally and depending on the game, you'll either get the same thing on each screen or it might be slightly different. This is available for a limited number of games from both the Switch and Switch 2 libraries, the casting device needs to be a Switch 2 unfortunately.</p><p>For more information, please watch today's Direct: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/1uGRs-ispRU" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/live/1uGRs-ispRU</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>.</p><p>In addition to this, several games will receive enhanced Switch 2 versions. However, you'll need to buy an upgrade pack from the eShop or a physical store to enjoy this.</p><p>Before I go, there was no updates regarding the Splatoon or Animal Crossing series on the Switch 2. However, Splatoon 3 and ACNH will be compatible by the looks of it.</p><p><a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/%E3%82%B9%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%83%88%E3%82%A5%E3%83%BC%E3%83%B33" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>スプラトゥーン3</span></a> <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/%E3%82%B9%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%83%88%E3%82%A5%E3%83%BC%E3%83%B3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>スプラトゥーン</span></a> <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/Splatoon3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Splatoon3</span></a> <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/Splatoon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Splatoon</span></a> <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/Nintendo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nintendo</span></a> <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/NintendoSwitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NintendoSwitch</span></a> <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/NintendoSwitch2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NintendoSwitch2</span></a> <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/NintendoDirect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NintendoDirect</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://lemmy.world/u/splatoon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>splatoon@lemmy.world</span></a></span></p>
