  • Nintendo losing their aura is just silliness

    Baloney talk

    How have they lost their aura when they always been about gimmicks and the switch is still gimmicky

    Also bruises has linked u sheet of a bunch if games people wouldve died to see in switch 1 era.

    I get your points in the upgrades and gamecube s*** being locked tho. BS stuff

    I don't even think it's a bad thing that they decided to do the Switch 2. It makes total sense with the way the console landscape has been over the last decade. If it aint broke, don't fix it.

    But the nintendo I know and love would've had a brand new gimmick for us to ogle at......... and a real mf system seller within the first year of release, if not at launch...........

    Things aren't like they used to be though. Games take more time and money to develop. But I wish there was ANYTHING exciting on the Switch 2, not just good, but genuinely exciting.

    Nintendo in Switch 2 era just doesn't feel like Nintendo to me anymore. Hope they prove me wrong with their next heavy hitter, but the magic is starting to wane for me. IDK if that started with Iwata's death or what, but they're just moving like any other game company now, and have really unique IP to hide behind. You could feel it start in Switch 1 era, but that was a new concept and they were able to coast off of the big time games they were developing for Wii U that they were able to rollover into the switch's first year.

    Also I didn't see the list from Bruises, are you thinking of the Switch 2 exclusives list I linked in here earlier?

    Console at launch had a new entry in the series that had the best selling switch 1 game and a month later had critically acclaimed large 3d platformer featuring an iconic character

    It's all baloney talk from this guy

    Everyone thinks Mario Kart World is ass, and even if it wasn't, it's still Mario Kart, there's 8 other entries that are damn near the same thing

    Why is that a compelling reason to buy a new $450-$500 console

    And I cant speak on Bonanza cause I haven't tried it, but people seem to enjoy it, but who's buying a new console for a Donkey Kong game

    I'm not even trying to hate on people that own a Switch 2. If you want a no fuss way to play your Switch 1 games on a bigger screen and be ready to go for whatever big titles come down the line, that's perfectly fine and normal.

    All I'm saying is that everyone I know who owns one hasn't touched it since beating Bonanza

    Within a single year the console had

    Mario kart world
    Metroid prime 4 (yes it was on switch 1 too but no one cares about that it applies to botw being on wik u too)
    Donkey kong bananza
    Kirby air riders
    Pokopia

    Those are all full polished games featuring iconic characters

    No 3d Mario or new zelda so they don't count I guess??? Nintendo lost aura

    Mario Kart World is a racing spin off

    Metroid Prime 4 some mid (reportedly)

    Donkey Kong Bananza apparently good, I'd def play it if I had a Switch 2

    Kirby air riders is a racing spin off

    Pokopia is pokemon animal crossing spin off

  • The people disagree with u it's the fastest selling video game hardware in the US

    It must have had some stuff that sold it to people

    Maybe you don't like Nintendo that much idk

    Not everyone thinks Mario Kart World is ass, I think the critics were quite fond of it

    Some players were happy with it, others were very much not

    Every time I've played it I just wished I was playing 8 deluxe and most of my friends agree (anecdotal) so we usually just play that now

    Mario Kart World is receiving slander because people spent an abnormally large amount of time with mk8

    So they got used to that game

    Mario kart world is different but also very good

    This is a dumb convo

    And I'm gonna say it

    Nintendo had one of the best consoles of all time (Switch). One of the best consoles of all time!

    But this convo is about aura

    And Switch 2 is one of the most auraless consoles ever. Point blank.

    @aeiou YOU SEE THIS

    THIS IS WRONG

    SWITCH @ IS PEAK AURA

    playing on a chud 3ds rip off isnt aura buddy

    Why on earth would I buy a console with no games

    Switch 2 emulation is ages down the line yeah, not 10 years though, and I'm not particularly concerned about backing up saves for games that dont exist. The point is having open access to the stuff you own, not having to pay $20 upgrade fees to run at 60fps in 2026, waiting for nintendo to finally allow your favorite gamecube game to be playable via their subscription service.

    And I don't think you need to emulate absolutely everything lol. I've said itt today that I'd probably grab a switch 2 if it gets a sizable library of worthwhile games

    Like I totally get that most people don't want to tinker and configure s*** so I'm not judging anybody that just wants to get a switch 2 for the bigger screen and potential games down the line

    But Nintendo has lost their aura which is what this convo is about in the first place

    Back when things were right in the world, you could tinker with original hardware without getting your console beamed from Japan. And I get it, you gotta tighten things down now that everything is online, but I'm a free man.............
