"Any customer who was turned away at the Astoria location should reach out via DM so we can make it right."

This is where I live to. I stopped buying from GameStop long ago. I hardly if ever go into a BestBuy, Walmart, etc. I do most of my shopping online, I have my preorder direct from Nintendo, just need to wait for the email.

I wish I had the same confidence you have. I signed up on the 3rd of April a day before they delayed the initial preorders. It's a lottery so nothing is quareented. Also If a NSO N64 pad can hobble Nintendo's site what do you think a new platform will do.

I'd love to be wrong but after the BB website snafu and aforementioned Nintendo history I'm just not all that confident these days. 😆

TBH, I'm still not commited to buying the Switch 2 even with my preorder notice, from Nintendo, which will be after May 8. I just feel indifferent about it now. 😁

No surprise. This happens at Gamestop with every console release. There is so much pressure from corporate so employees resort to extortion to make their metrics.

nice improvement to the clarity. Really makes everything look less blurry, especially in the distance.

really hope we see more free improvements like this on Switch 1 games.

First game I played on Switch 2. Much sharper and cleaner image compared to the original.

A lot of games that have no official Switch 2 update already run WAY better just from the hardware itself. It's fantastic getting to play all these games in a much better state. So glad I hardly played any of my Switch collection over the years, lol. This will make experiencing them for the first time so much better.

A nice resolution upgrade to one of my fav games but i’m still not buying the Switch “2”

This and Mario/Bowser are ones I will pop in later. I hope other devs offer some patches, like xenon racer on SW1 is 30fps and it really is better at 60.

Great it was 60 frames on switch 1 though. Definitely sacrificed resolution however.

Neonridr8h ago

I mean it targeted 60 on the Switch 1, but it wasn't always solid.

I’ll never know why fans let Nintendo get away with not competing graphically and never putting their games on sale.

Unfortunately the games are fun. They’ve got us by the balls

I’m a fan of their exclusives as well but if the hardware had the same capabilities as the x and ps5 and I could have all the third party stuff plus the Nintendo exclusives it would be my main console
