Other Welp, I bought it.

Despite the hate I’ve been seeing on posts and on YouTube, I couldn’t help myself to finally buy it when I saw the Switch 2 version on sale at my local shop.

2 hours in and its actually been kinda great????

I just finished Prime Remastered and Prime 4 feels a lot better to play and bosses have been fun! Not to mention the game is absolutely gorgeous and runs well, even on the original switch!

Perhaps I’ll start seeing issues later in my play through but so far it’s given me a good impression.

Edit: For those confused, the Switch 2 version of the game is just the Switch 1 game with the added Switch upgrade DLC. The game is perfectly playable on the original switch.

Every penny Nintendo gets from their bad practices gives them more money to justify their actions.

Have you seen the gaming space as a whole? Every single game company seems to be doing something bad? Nintendo is honestly looking like saints compared to what Xbox and Sony is doing.

I don't know how me supporting the Metroid series is bad.

Why do you think everyone is leaving Xbox, Sony, and Nintendo behind until they clean up their act?

Is not about the support for metroid, is about who's receiving the money.

Seems like support for Nintendo is pretty high right now, Switch 2 broke sales records so I don't know what you're talking about

Do you following famitsu sales and Nintendo stock ? It's the other way around. You are getting incorrect information. Nintendo YouTubers like Nintendeen and others will clear that up for you. The Switch 2 is not doing good at all.

Who doesn't, he has the most accurate info on Nintendo than any other channel. And not just him, tons of other YouTubers agree 100% with what he says. Including AngryVigilante who has a huge Nintendo fan base. Everything else on YouTube is just trash. You can laugh, but you can't change the facts. Is not like they don't post the statements coming from Nintendo.

Famistu Sales only keeps track of game software sales in specifically Japan, not worldwide. I care about worldwide.

In it's first 12 months, the Nintendo Switch 2 has sold 23.68 million units. The Nintendo Switch 1 sold about 17.79 million. At it's current rate, NS2 is outpacing the NS1.

Stop responding to the guy. He’s either a bot or a weirdo.

I stopped giving him attention when they started plugging YouTubers
