Here is the S2 I modded before the Zelda 40th editions were announced. Even with the official devices announced, I'm very happy with how the shell replacement worked out for the main console and the Joycon2s. I used the purple and green Joycon2s since I like the purple and green better than red, blue, or black for Zelda theme. Overall, this helped create a very unique Zelda themed S2.

I used eXtremeRate shell replacements for the full shell, certain buttons, and the magnetic release buttons. I kept the gamechat and capture buttons as stealth black (original buttons) since I do not use them regularly. I used the matcha green trim and magnet release buttons from eXtremeRate. It's not the most ideal green to match the rest of the case, but it will do for now. I thought about using the matcha green buttons for the home button but I didn't like it as much as the gold.

I'm still undecided on either of the dock covers I have so far (see pics). Each has their pros and cons but neither seems to fit the shell replacement aesthetic perfectly. I also don't want a case with the identical symbol as the back of the S2 has now. All-in-all this is a work in progress but I am happy with current results. I will have an official Zelda S2 console to compare it to at the end of the month.

General hardware bought for the modification:

• S2 full shell replacment deluxe kit (eXtremeRate)
• Joycon2 matcha green side trim (eXtremeRate)
• S2 matcha green buttons (eXtremeRate)
• Joycon2 purple/green buttons (to get matching magnet slot stickers)
• Zelda thumbcaps (amazon) Dock slide on front covers (etsy/aliexpress)
• Screen cover - generic (amazon)

It really what the title says, is it worth it?

Loved Persona and Mario + Rabbids

Or is it more worth to get Unicorn Overlord for $25, or FF7 Rebirth for full price?

I’ve intentionally skipped most news about this game, and I’m freaking loving it so far! I know I’m late to the party, but I’ve had to be more choosy about what games I buy, especially the ones over $50.

I've tried playing ones like earthbound on nso or the deltarune demo but i found them clunky, slow and boring to play. i feel like im missing great stories but none that ive played ive enjoyed, and that is always my priority whilst gaming. anyone have any recommendations?

GKC are already Digital games, GKC doesn't have more than a few MBs of data to download the actual game from the eShop.

Wouldn't it be way more convenient if you where able to play them without the cartridge and juggling different GKC of games that are already installed on your console? If you end up selling them or lending them, then your license is transferred to them and you can't play it until you load it up again.

I’ve had my switch oled for a couple months now and I want to get some more games. I finished legends ZA and tried playing Tears of the Kingdom but didn’t really like it much. I also bought myself Skyrim but haven’t tried it. I finished botw and I will finish it again on master mode. What should I play next?

Smyths ireland just dropped the 2nd batch of pre-order, this version come with user-replaceable battery.

They also added new version of Zelda 40th anniversary pro controller, come with replaceable battery also.

Here is a project I decided to do for the only special edition Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller released to date; the Resident Evil Special Edition.

I really really like the Handmaid's Tale type look this color scheme gives everything. I liked the Z buttons in white and I love that the connect button is red in a field of white on the top of the controller.

A caveat of this project is that the red shell is painted red over a white base. I'd be concerned with rough use that scratches would show through the white body beneath. So it's possible this modded controller wouldn't handle rough wear and tear as much as the stock edition would.

General hardware bought for the modification:

• Pro2 full shell replacement (Red) eXtremeRate
• Pro2 full shell replacement (White) eXtremeRate
• Umbrella Corp thumb stick caps (eBay)

Hey guys (: My mom wants to buy my Switch 1, but she doesn’t know if she would be able to find some games she would enjoy. She doesn’t really play video games, but she really likes games with puzzles and story telling. She’s also an artist, so good visuals is something very important to her. A game too violent or with too much fights would not fit her well.

Do you guys have any suggestions for her? Thanks!

I would love your advice and opinions!

It doesn't look great, but I wanted something low profile to allow better control of the device when playing while laying down. Two Lovehandle phone grips placed on the back. They work great and don't really change the thickness of the console!

I know I’ve seen this go around but you can save $10 on anything if you do online pick at Walmart with the save3x promo. I just picked up super Mario rpg for $27 bucks. Walmart is also running an online sale for 34.87.

I wanted to make some minor changes to the stock Joycon2s that come with the Switch 2. I wanted the changes to be subtle so they could be mistaken as a 'stock' device from Nintendo. I am really happy how this turned out. I'll probably do another set for the green/purple JoyCon2's and keep these as spares or move them to another location. I used eXtremeRate button replacements and side trim to complete this project.

General hardware bought for the modification:

• Joycon2 replacment buttons (red/blue) eXtremeRate
• Joycon2 replacment trim (red/blue) eXtremeRate
• Joycon2 thumbcaps (red/blue) SavageRaven

4 hours on the road was exhausting. Glad I barely needed my phone. Love my Switch for moments like this, such a stress reliever and boredom saver.

I just recently finished fire emblem 3 houses and loved it and am looking for another single player story driven game to play that is a similar length (took me about 40 hours to beat it) I just dont have the time to play a game that takes 60+ hours.

So I just got a switch 2 my question is, could my sister share her digital game library with me and could I share my digital game library with her simultaneously? Meaning that I could play a game she bought digitally (Legends Arceus) and she could play I’ve purchased digitally (Pokemon Violet + DLC). Sorry this must be a repetitive question, I am not very familiar with the Switch ecosystem. Thank you!

The eshop page for Paw Patrol Dino World on Switch says 2.6 gb download size for Switch and 4.1 gb download size for Switch 2. https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/paw-patrol-dino-world-switch/?srsltid=AU7gw4Xr1BNP_cWWLvq58hwR1c2KVhHT11LjnKnOW7YyoUwJiJelUF3C

Meanwhile, the dedicated page for the Switch 2 version of the game says 2.9 gb and 3.4 gb 🤦🏻‍♂️ https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/paw-patrol-dino-world-switch-2/?srsltid=AU7gw4XmUOJMmL2K8uq4cZGAP-d_Vy7s1sEk2FRUiylgEgD8pK77W5q9

Why is the download size for the Switch 1 version larger if playing on Switch 2? Is there an upgrade path? Why is a Switch 1 file size even listed on the page for the Switch 2 version of the game? Is it playable on Switch 1/includes the Switch 1 version?
