A few months back, we examined the launch of almost every major Nintendo console. That was before we knew about Nintendo Switch 2 or any of its games, though – and now that we know just about everything regarding the system’s launch this June, we’re going to compare it to some of Nintendo’s previous console launches and see how it holds up.

InZoi dev interested in Nintendo Switch 2 port if it’s technically possible
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
The team behind InZoi has expressed interest in a Nintendo Switch 2 port, but whether that’s possible depends on the system’s specs.
The life sim game just hit Early Access last month. Since then, it’s taken off with plenty of interest and positive player feedback. We probably won’t be seeing the full launch anytime soon, but fans are already curious about whether or not we could see it on Nintendo’s upcoming console.

Code-in-box games still seem to happening on Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
With Nintendo Switch 2 introducing game-key cards, there was the hope that code-in-box releases – which were somewhat common on Switch 1 – would no longer be happening. However, that doesn’t appear to be the case.
Many third-party Nintendo Switch 2 titles at launch will be game-key cards. This means that you’re getting a cartridge, but as there’s no data, you still need to download everything from the internet. It’s still much better than a code-in-box release, which doesn’t let you give the copy to a friend or sell it later on.

Here’s where and how to pre-order Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Following a delay, Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders are about to begin in the United States – and Canada. Reservations have been open elsewhere, but aside from a few select games, that’s not been the case stateside.
Major retailers are set to open Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders this week, April 24. Some listings will be going live as soon as the clock strikes midnight on the East Coast. Most of the big stores should have Nintendo Switch 2 available, but there’s likely a big exception. Nintendo and Amazon have seemingly been feuding again over the past year, so the console itself – and probably first-party titles – are unlikely to be up for pre-order there.
In this post, we’re providing a full roundup on where and how to pre-order Nintendo Switch 2. With various placeholder listings already live, this should come in handy.
