Switch 2 "Reviews" Are Overwhelmingly Negative So Far At One Store

(on the headline itself). So far? At one store? HA!

Actually, the Switch 2 itself is priced pretty much where I guessed.

But the games & accessories? Game key cards?

I'll tell you what: I'll go & buy a spare Switch 1 & ignore the Switch 2.

Clickbait

Why is GS promoting ways to make scalpers richer??

Maybe you should change the title of this article to reflect why people are unhappy.

The Switch 2 is bad, because you can't get one easily at launch?

Mkay. I prefer not being a fucking idiot, but that's just me.

i would not put pass most of the nagtive come from playstation fans sony in the pass/caught in other country paid for negtive reviews. let hope nintendo don't mess up backward games. so we can show xbox it still worth the time.

demands are high cause everyone want be the first . to review it on youtube and rub it in your face they got one. and backward is strong saling point.

They put fake on their. They need to grow up.

So months ago we went from, "The price is too high, no one will buy this..." to now "We want it!!!" The only winners here are Nintendo. Reviewers come off as whiny entitled kids. This is always the case with new launches. There's never enough to satisfy everyone and the pre-ordering will always have problems.

As usual Nintendo's self inflicted shortages just to cause demand....what else is new?

These websites need to more heavily regulate their reviews. If people have not purchased the product, they should not be allowed to review it. Makes perfect sense.

It doesn't even have an OLED screen, why would anyone want one? A downgrade from the Switch....

Remember during the covid times when there was chip shortages? Now there are many supplies of current gens consoles but nobody buy. Humans are so funny. They buy console but complained of high price games. HAHAHAHHA!

Shouldn’t even be allowed to review unless verified purchaser. On anything really.

LOL. Nobody throws a tantrum like the gaming community. You could visit every pre-school and daycare in the country and not find a single toddler who can match the tantrum output of an allegedly adult gamer.

The only thing game reviews measure at this point is the current need/demand for therapists.

Don't be mad at the retailer, be mad at the company that produces the product there isn't enough of. If there was a massive stock everyone wouldn't need to fight over the 'scraps' to even be bothered by this pre-order hullabaloo.

Plus, considering Nintendo hasn't addressed, or at least I haven't seen they've addressed the stick drift from the Switch for the Switch 2, you might be better off waiting in general until enough units are in the wild long enough to know if that or any other issues are pervasive.

same situation with the ps5 when pre-order happen too.

I might buy a Switch 2 in a few years (depending) but if the game is not on the cart, I will not buy that game.

PERIOD.

As someone who often still plays my 3DS/DS and all my old Nintendo consoles, this WILL directly affect me when they shut the servers down in 10 years or so.

I am planning on leaving my game collection to my daughter someday so I have a vested interest in those games being playable. Whether she keeps them to play or sells them is up to her but they will be hers to decide what to do with, not Nintendo's decision.

People need to grow some balls and speak with their wallets. I hear so much of "well this sucks but I'll give them money anyway". Look what happened with Alan Wake 2. People protested the no physical copy and sales tanked. What did Remedy do? They came out with a physical copy to appease a portion of people that refused to buy the product.

If you say you don't support a behavior, you can't turn around and just say "well I'm going to support it anyway and hope the giant money making corporation will just do the right thing"

Nintendo offers (from what I know) 8GB - 64GB on the new S2 carts to third party game publishers. They might even have a 128GB card (unconfirmed).

A 64gb high speed SD card can be gotten for $10 these days on Amazon. Nintendo's carts are probably cheaper. They are probably charging $2-3 bucks for a 64GB card wholesale.

Many of these third party games can fit on a 64gb card. But you are seeing these games announced as download keys on 8GB carts with Switch 2...and they will be $80-$90 !

Bravely Default literally says the cart requires a full game download of "11GB".....11 GB !!!! They couldn't be bothered to fit that on a cart.

Street Fighter 6 requires a full game download of "50GB" ?!?!? ...why can't that fit on the 64GB cart ? Cyberpunk 2077 will apparently be on the cart and be upwards of 60GB so we know it can be done!

Elden ring PS4 version is 45GB on disc....yet this is this a Game Key Card on Switch 2. Why is FromSoft and Nintendo requiring a download of the full game?

Why?...That is the question you should ask yourself and you know the answer already.

GREED + CONTROL

Imagine review bombing and item that isn't even out yet BECAUSE you can't get it easy.

Reviews don't actually mean anything anymore. Just a place for people to do their "L+Ratio+fell off".

These are people who are going to still buy it.

Walked into GameStop yesterday. In and out in less than 45 mins. Got Mario Kart bundle and Breath of the Wild preordered. Can't stop, won't stop. 2EZ

How is this Nintendo fault? Reviews should be on the hardware and their service if you want to rage do it at the customer service of the companies you bought it from.

I logged into the Target app at 12:00am EDT...checked out with pre-order at 12:03am. No issues at all.
