Nintendo Talks Switch 2 Launch And Capcom Drops An Interesting Reveal | News Wave

[@jimcarrey2866]

If Crazy Taxi is a live service they'll just shut down the servers in a year. I just wanted an arcade Crazy Taxi with a good OST.

[@redlion145]

Yeah, it's not even a question. Live service games just have a horrible reputation. It's the exception, rather than the rule, if a live service game's servers are still up after a year.

[@DieselJT]

Same! No one wanted Crazy Taxi to be a Live Service game.

Temper expectations for Switch 2 sales. Calling it now it will underperform because by the time it releases the economy is going to be a disaster. People already aren’t going out or spending money. For the first time in a long time people’s savings are rising right now. Stores are closing all over the place. It’s just dead everywhere.

[@DylanDurdle]

I’m still in the camp that it won’t be releasing in 2025. Nintendo announced they would be announcing details of the new system this fiscal year. But if you look at every previous system launch, they reveal these details a year plus before it hits the shelves. I still think it’ll be released in 2026, and it’ll give markets time to adjust. There is always uncertainty and panic whenever there is an upcoming election I the USA. My financial advisor advised me how the markets would go into panic leading into the upcoming election.

[@slanty8]

The supply of switch successor systems is like a liquid that will flow into bot-assisted resellers’ shopping carts. Increased supply alone will not simply not work. Nintendo needs to offer an opportunity for each Nintendo Network ID to purchase a reserved system over week one…or something like that. Nintendo needs to take an action to not screw over the end user. They can’t just blame the retailers when THEIR (overly produced) system is the next to get gobbled up by shopping bots.

[@slanty8]

UNLESS their pockets (and resources) are so deep (and vast) they can bankrupt the resellers with the quantity of units manufactured by day one where everyone who wants one can have one while. Essentially leaving the resellers stuck with their inventory

[@Godruma5606]

[@jonathan__g]

I do think that they will be able to manage the scalping situation. If their solution isn't going to make 2x or 3x more consoles then maybe they can take some pre-orders on their site themselves and then send it out when they are ready to ship them. The key thing here is they can limit purchasers to something like 1 per account or one that has been active for more than a month or two, to try and stop scalpers from just making a bunch of new accounts to mass buy them.

[@G360LIVE]

Maybe ship one console per address and not allow another console to ship to that address for a certain amount of time (unless it's a replacement console). Of course, scalpers work every retailer that they can, so even "one per address" isn't much of an issue for scalpers. Perhaps the thing to do is work with resell sites to take down reseller pages as they go up.

The best way to thwart scalpers is for everyone to not buy from them but that will not happen.

[@DP3com]

In hindsight, for those who did pay extra on sites such as eBay to get either PS5 model and/or an XBS within the first year or two (almost three in the case of the PS5), was it really worth it?

[@SCJhoops]

I think the difference between the Switch launch and Switch 2 launch is with Nintendo coming off the Wii U, they definitely didn’t produce as many Switch consoles as they needed to in order to meet demand, but I’m sure with the success of the Switch they’ll be more willing to produce as many consoles as possible, within reason, for this next system.

[@numberoneappgames]

But with how the Original Switch sold, the question is how many buyers will the next console have and that's going to be tough to forecast for.

[@I_SuperHiro_I]

That’s a great point.

[@fentazen2677]

I don’t know if Nintendo is capable of producing enough Switch 2 to meaningfully fight scalping. You can make more, but the scalpers can buy more too.

[@Bam-rx3sv]

If they make it in store purchase only & limit to 1

[@voltazkai]

@@Bam-rx3svI remember hearing back in the iPhone scalping day, scalpers are paying random individuals who aren’t interested in the phone to buy the phone in store. So your implementation doesn’t exactly stop scalpers from scalping. It’ll simply slow them down and force them to come up with another way to obtain the console. Not that your idea is bad but Nintendo will have to weight the pros vs cons. Such as slowing down sales to a crawl to fight scalping while potentially aggravating legitimate and on the fence buyers. Slow sales also slow down adoption.

[@Bam-rx3sv]

@voltazkai lol you can't win dang

[@Level_Eleven]

@@voltazkaiNormalize pretending to agree with scalpers to buy their shit then just vanishing

[@redlion145]

@@Bam-rx3sv No, you can. People scalp things because it's easy money. The harder you make it to scalp an item (limiting purchase numbers, in person only, etc) the fewer the number of people willing to jump through those hoops. And because of the hoops, and taking more time, it's not like the few who do go through the trouble will make more money. They also have a smaller market of people to sell to because most (or at least more) consumers can purchase directly from a retailer without the markup. It's worth implementing these sorts of controls, even if they don't completely eliminate scalping. It still helps people get the console at MSRP. That's the goal, not necessarily eliminating scalping.

[@Giliver]

I don't understand Sony's fascination with making people sign up for a PSN account. Like it literally makes it so their game can't be sold in the vast majority of countries it just makes no sense from a business sense.

I remember camping outside of Best Buy for the Xbox 360 launch. We froze myself, my mom and my uncle tapping out taking turns warming up in his jeep, with our dunkin donuts warm drinks and hand warmers. We ended up being 2 people behind the last console sold. They only had 15 consoles. The next day we randomly went into a Target and they were setting them out in the middle of the floor in the entertainment section. My favorite launch console memory.

My friend had to explain to that poor woman that she signed up for a PlayStation Network account, and bought a digital game, not a physical game.

Only way to really stopped scalpers is to get a price regulation that doesn't allow product to be sold for higher then a set price and seeking legal action against anyone selling it at higher price. Example if sold for $399.99 in NA then going after anyone selling for $410.99 or above. Or forcing owners to have register console online in the store they buy it in, and match consoles to CCs

It's more than a little ironic hearing Nintendo say they want to produce a "sufficient number" of consoles to meet customer demand.

Yep get as many Switch 2 Units ready and available at Launch, whether it's 5m or 6m not sure but as much as possible. Crazy Taxi being an Open World Online Game could be pretty fun, not sure if it'll be worth the 70 Bucks tho. Capcom Next was pretty decent, DR:DR is defo Day One for me and probably a Double Dip with the Physical Release aswell, RE7: iOS Version I'm not interested in but the next RE Game is sounding like it'll be First-Person and similar too RE7 in Scariness aswell. Path of the Godness looks very interesting, I'll try n check out the Demo but this Game seems like a Pickup when it goes Cheaper.

Why would you wait for a new Game comes out, if we have ALOT of Games to play already? Im sure that many ppl are existed to play a new Game, but most of them don't get finished.

Concord will require PSN? Well, this game is good as dead if it isn't already. PSN will only reduce the amount of players. The Nintendo Switch 2 will be scalped O_o? I don't want that to happen. I already lost enough sleep trying to get a PS5. I wasn't able to get a PS5 before Rift Apart released. If it wasn't for the pandemic I may have gotten one when Rift Apart was released since the hype may have died down a bit. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1007">16:47</a> I did hear someone mention that an NPC that they were trying to rescue died because they somehow got left behind. I don't like FPS games. I didn't pick up Resident Evil 7 and 8 because of it. I did notice the internet going crazy over giant vampire mommy. I tried getting Triforce Heroes or Majora's Mask 3D at midnight but they didn't have it. I didn't bother trying again. 69% NOICE! Mike Matei had an interesting story about getting the Game Cube and rolling under the door as it opened. He said no one else did this.

My wife will not be happy with me during the Switch 2 generation... I have an o.g. Switch (came in a year late to the party though), OLED Switch, Switch Lite Zacian and Zamezenta, OLED Scarlet and Violet. Will most likely be putting more into the Switch 2 iterations. May have to pick up another job to pay for my addiction.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="60">1:00</a> Soooo, Nintendo you're saying the Switch 2 will have a Switch 1 type game cart slot? Got it! Where you have smoke you have fire, just sayin. 🤔 <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="350">5:50</a> I expect the same issue getting the new (Switch 2) system when it releases. It took me about 6 months to finally get my Switch 1 after the release. Will they be able to keep scalpers at bay? I very highly doubt. I'm still looking forward to getting my Switch 2 asap, I have my $💰ready Nintendo!

Oh wait, you said game system, I thought you meant new games in general, yeah I never went to a midnight release for a new console because after the Red Ring of Death on the 360, I never trusted brand new consoles since then, I want to make sure the system is fully functional before I buy it
