  1. So who here has taken the plunge? I'm a big Nintendo fan, counting the Mario, Zelda and Metroid franchises as probably the reason I still love video games today. But I'll be waiting a bit before picking up a Switch 2. I'm not big on kart racers - yes, even Mario Kart - so the pack-in isn't a must-have for me. That said, I've been looking forward to Metroid Prime 4 for a good while (hasn't everybody?) and the updated Zelda: Breath of the Wild looks great. Donkey Kong Bonanza looks promising. So there are definitely some games to play by year's end. I really dislike the idea of game-key cards though. They're very pro-business but very anti-consumer imo - neither digital nor physical gamers want them, it seems. They could be the sword the Switch 2 falls on. Myself, I'll be picking up 3rd-party stuff for other systems. * And I wasn't thrilled to hear the joysticks may be prone to drift. You'd think Nintendo would have considered this a hardware priority. Still, I imagine I'll be picking one up eventually. * (For example, the upcoming Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D remake. I'll be buying the OG Switch version instead of the Switch 2 game-key card release. Then hope there are some organic performance bumps (frame rate, etc) when I play my Switch cart on a Switch 2. I wonder how many other physical gamers are planning the same? Enough for Nintendo's sales numbers to reflect the disdain for game-key cards? Hopefully.)
