hey GG, EG is highlighting a black friday deal on Switch 2 micro SD express cards.  I don't know what the usual going rates are, but might be worth checking out?

So my Switch 1 Pro controller works fine on Switch 2, but I won't be able to wake up the console with it. Hrm So laziness is Nintendo's sinister plan to get me to buy a $90 Switch 2 Pro Controller? Ain't happening, Nintendo! I am more cheap than I'm lazy.

It's not really a deal. It's been availible at around that price for a month or so, sometimes by different sellers. Still too expensive for me.

I'm waiting on a 2tb card that I don't have to sell kidneys to buy.

No way of updating it to work?

I couldn't find any info on an update for it. I'll try it once I get my Switch 2 setup. I usually just leave my controllers pluged in, so I should be able to wake it up that way, but not wirelessly.

Google Ai says it won't wake Switch 2. Funny I saw a 128kb video showing a 3rd party controller that could wake Switch 2.

Yeah, the 8bitdo Pro 3 controllers can wake it by shaking the controller, but you have to enable it in the controller firmware yourself or something. I saw a video on it a month ago.

I have a Nintendo Pro 1 controller and an 8bitdo Pro 2 controller, neither of which supposedly can wake a Switch 2 wirelessly.

I actually bought the Pro Controller 2. Totally worth it to me.

Select streamers will be featuring Metroid Prime 4

I didn't want to say anything, but Nintendo begged me to stream Metroid Prime 4. Begged I tell you. But as a man of principal, I reaffirmed my commitment to stream no new Nintendo games until they send over StarTropics 3. I understand they still feel the game needs a little more polish, and I respect that, but I'm not going to change my stance no matter how many millions of dollars they throw at me.

No it was a different brand.

128kb is a youtube channel that covers a lot of handheld Pcs and specialise in controller reviews. If you check it, the latest switch 2 controller they tested seemed good.

But I'd wait for the Mobapad M6 variant Switch 2 version.

They are split joycon that are very much like a traditional controller split in two. They can be used as joycon in handheld, or split joycon for TV play, or connected to make a normal controller.

The M6 switch 1 controllers actually have an accessory where it has magnetic rails to adapt it to switch 2.

Aliexpress sells them too

I had The misfortune of popping into a Walmart today till I dropped by the video game section. This location does have the Metroid prime 4 demo. Looks impressive. I would have played it, but some fat guy had parked it in front of the kiosk, and there was no getting around him.

I has my Switch 2. There's no Mario kart world code in the box so I hope it's pre-installed or something. Doing the transfer stuff now.

It feels more premium that my OG Switch. Much bigger overall too.
