You will need to get the express one, I had originally wanted to take mine out the switch one an just use that but they have made it so you need the express, it's due to the speeds on the 2 or something
That’s the one I’m getting today. It’s the official NS2 one. Thanks though.

I'm surprised Nintendo allowed this keycard games thing. The waste of plastic isn't surprising from a Japanese company (can't even buy a rice ball from 7/11 without them sticking it in a bag like it's the 90s) but it's none of the advantages of physical media with all the disadvantages of a code. I'd be annoyed if I got one without knowing.

Our Switch finally got delivered yesterday after a battle with DPD as they never came out on Sunday (the date I rearranged to).

My head was pounding yesterday so other than a quick look I’ve not really played with it. Himself downloaded Cyberpunk I think. I’m not sure whether to get the Kirby game or now, will it be much different from the OG version of it? I think we can share games in our family group but I still need to create my profile on it. I also believe Nintendo have added a second save slot for Zelda but not checked that out.

I'll be interested to see how the Xbox handheld does in sales with the switch just having been released

Personally even though I have a Xbox I won't be going out an getting their new handheld anytime soon, I feel like one handheld right now is enough

Makes me wonder if Sony will try to bring back the psp again, we are certainly getting into the age of handhelds now, psp was so ahead of it's time

We’ve got the PS Portal handheld, it’s quite good.
I didn’t know about the Xbox one til my boss mentioned it this morning. But I don’t think I’ll rush out for that one.
I just love playing handheld as I can have the TV on at the same time, or take it to work, play it in bed or on sofa.

Same, I love my handheld for taking about with me an its been amazing for travelling as I've found I don't get too much motion sickness if I have it

I had looked at the portal when it come out an people said it works off the remote play, so tried remote play on my phone just to see what it would be like an it was horrendous, my ps also kept clicking itself off despite me putting it on to stay on sleep mode, am not sure if the Xbox one is similar in which is streams games rather than the switch where you can buy physical games for it, but I won't be rushing out to buy anything that's purely a stream as the internet around me at times is no where near enough to keep them running smoothly, it's how I love the switch, doesn't need to be online to play

I didn't want the Switch 2 but now, because it's sold out EVERYWHERE all I can think about it buying one. Well played Nintendo.

Im curious about it. I love handhelds. I have a Steam deck and a portal. I think I would get more use out of the Xbox in a handheld.

Is anyone else not 100% convinced about Donkey Kong Bananza?

It looks a bit unfinished and empty in the short clips they've released. Giving vibes of the Pokémon Scarlett and Violet. I don't think it's going to be anywhere on the same level as Mario Odyssey.

Yeah I’ve been on the fence about that one.

I really enjoyed Donkey Kong country : tropical freeze
I feel like that'll be the highlight of the franchise for a long time. Bananza looks like a 7/10, that'll be a hard sell at $80. Maybe they'll add a multiplayer that'll sell it, that could be fun.

This is probably the best video game music that has ever been made, the soundtrack for DK is always pretty good.

Ohh let me know what you do, for me personally I've been enjoying starting again, pretty much have everything back again, got nooks, got ables getting built an ready tomorrow, got I think 6 villagers now (although some of them getting kicked the hell off soon 😅) I think all I really need now is for nooks to upgrade an to unlock terraforming

But it has been fun catching all the bugs an fish again an getting the fossils

I hated the code in a box type of games they'd sell for switch 1 and the game key cards annoy me. Just put it on the cartridge please. I've not got a switch 2 yet. I'm holding out in hopes for a nice Pokemon bundle with the new game in october.

I got the story of seasons game this week and it was a proper game cartridge. I was surprised as I expected a code in a box
