Seems lots of people's Nintendo online accounts are getting compromised through the older Nintendo Network ID system from the Wii U and 3DS platforms.. if that old account is linked to the new one, it can be used to get into the new one.

I guess the best thing is to enable 2FA on your Nintendo account.

lol. Physical copies of Fitness Boxing are over $250 on Amazon, and Ring Fit Adventure is $475! Damned scalpers. It's a shame Nintendo won't release the latter digitally. There's a bunch of third party rings that could make this a lot cheaper for people.

Picked up Luigis Mansion a while ago and finally started playing it seriously with my daughter a couple of days ago. So much fun. But frustrating when your Gooigi partner decides they want to explore on their own for long periods of time. Is there a way for Luigi to recall Gooigi when your playing Coop?

Yeah, double tap the sticks at the same time.

Looks like Nintendo blocked their NNID logins:

If anyone is looking for a switch I was able to order one through best buy after monitoring this site for stock.
https://www.nowinstock.net/ca/videog...intendoswitch/

I'm looking for suggestions for games I have 2 boys 8 and 6. So far I've ordered Mario Maker 2 and it comes with StarLink.

Going to buy in the next few weeks:
Super Mario Bros Wii U Deluxe
Super Mario Odyssey

My boys (7 and 9) love mario party and mario cart as well. If you don't have minecraft on another console it is available on switch as well and my boys love that as well.

Does anyone else have Super Mario Maker 2? I'm really digging it but there is a lot of crap to wade through to find quality levels/worlds. Does anyone have any ID codes they recommend for things to play?

I just bought a switch, after the kids going back and beating new super Mario brothers for the wii, and then beating new super Mario wii U for the wii U.

However just realized that they just took a bunch of the wii U games and turned them into deluxe switch games. Super disappointing as the kids wanted a new super
Mario game. I might even take it back.

Is it worth keeping? My wife’s been playing super Mario Odessy but the kids aren’t too pumped for it. Actually my 10 year old is on the wii U pad.

Super Mario Maker 2 should be right up their alley shouldn't it? Infinite Super Mario levels!

I think the Switch is outstanding and between Odyssey, Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart, Pokemon Sword, and Animal Crossing I spend way more time on my switch than my PS4.

And I haven't even got some of the other best games it's got, Luigi's Mansion 3 or Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Half the games you mentioned are on the Wii U and I think that was kinda his point...especially for multiplayer games (nobody is satisfied being a hat)

I have a Wii U with all the big games and totally get his point...why buy the same games again for $79.99 plus more ridiculously expensive controllers just to play the Mario Kart/NSMB you have already had for the last 5 years or so. Also, why the #### doesn't this thing have netflix? Wii, Wii U, and 3DS have it for christ sake.

Mario Maker 2 was a good suggestion though the Wii U version didn't multiplayer I don't think.

Only two of the eight games he mentioned are on WiiU - BOTW and Mario Kart 8. The rest are new games exclusive to Switch.

Yeah the most played games on the wii U are the 2 new Mario bro’s and Mario kart.

Pretty disappointed to see no real new games in those genres.

Never played Mario Maker. Looks interesting. The kids are getting into odyssey. Just not sure if the money was worth it.

Yeah the “there’s only Wii U ports!” held up maybe 2 years ago. If you can’t find good exclusive games now, you just aren’t looking.

Plus they aren’t making any new games for Wii U and never will. There will be games coming out for Switch for another 3-4 years, or longer.

Mario Maker 2 is the same genre as the Mario Bros games, and it's significantly better IMO. It has its own levels just like all the Mario Bros games, but also an infinite amount of custom made levels. The next update let's people make up to 40 connected levels, and make worlds just like all the Mario Bros games have

The Switch is the most worthwhile console I've ever owned, I think only the PS2 comes close

We've only had ours since Friday and Mario Maker 2 has been the most popular so far.
I have Mario Maker 2, Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8, Starlink and Instant Sports.

Our 6 year old is totally into the level design (unique designs for sure lol) and our 8 year old plays the story mode levels.

I own both systems its just I can see what he is saying its not all that exciting yet especially when you have a Wii U with tons of games and have multiple kids who want to play multiplayer. I hope Switch gets some more GOOD 4 player games...and yeah netflix and a video player app FFS.
