问大家
: Just want to play with a 5-6 year old kid and cast to the TV. Which ones should I buy? Like motion-controlled mini-games. 就想和5-6岁小孩一起玩，投电视请问买哪些？比如体感小游戏之类的
回复 @娱乐 : If you’re into party games, there’s Mario Party: Superstars, with lots of motion mini-games. If you get the new console, just grab the Mario Kart bundle—it’s open world now, so you can explore with your kids. The colors are vibrant and it's appealing for children. Some previous games include Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker—a relaxing, light puzzle game. 派对类的就是 马里奥派对:空前盛会，很多体感小游戏，买新主机就直接买马里奥赛车同捆版呗，现在是开放世界，可以和小孩一起逛逛，画面鲜艳，对小孩比较有吸引力。以前的游戏有一个前进，奇诺比奥队长，轻度的悠闲解谜游戏。
回复 @娱乐 : Yes, personally, if you don't play much, the first generation is fine. My family doesn't play much either. Some squeezing actions in Ring Fit Adventure might be hard for kids to do by themselves, so adults occasionally help out. Playing for an hour feels like a physical education class![[偷笑]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_touxiao@2x.png?v=1)
对，我个人感觉哈，如果是玩的比较少的话，第一代就可以了。我家也是玩的不太多，健身环游戏里需要挤压的一些动作小朋友可能不能独立完成，大人偶尔帮忙一起，玩一个小时下来能有体能课的效果![[偷笑]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_touxiao@2x.png?v=1)
: Why do I have a premonition this won't be hard to buy? 为啥预感这东西不会难买呢？
: You guys clearly aren't veteran gamers. It's really hard to get a console when it just launches for the first six months. I got my original NS1 on launch day, waited in line for 5 hours at Best Buy. 你们这一看就知道不是游戏老玩家。游戏机刚发售半年很难抢。我ns1一代发售首日入手，best buy门口排队5个小时
回复 @YZ_bioinfo : I've bought every game console at launch since the PS2, and after coming to the US, all others except the PS5 were bought within a month of release. But for this NS2, I really have no desire to buy it. Its features show no breakthrough compared to the first generation, and the graphics probably can't compare to a bunch of Windows handhelds. It only launches with Mario Kart, which I barely played even on the original Switch, so I don't want to touch this at all. Oh, and among all the consoles over the years, the only one I didn't buy was the Wii U. 从ps2开始的所有游戏主机我都是第一时间入手的，来美国后除了ps5，其它也都是在发售一个月内入手。可是这个ns2我是真的没有购买欲望，功能是比一代没有任何突破，画面估计也没法和一众win掌机相比，首发就一个马车，连switch上的我都没怎么玩，这个根本不想碰。对了，这些年的主机里我有一个没买的就是wiiu。
: Anyone in the official preorder queue had any progress yet? 官网排队的有人有进展了吗？
: The first batch of eligible preorder slots will be released on the official website on 5/8. 官网5/8放出第一批符合条件的预售名额。
: The website crashed. 网站崩溃了
: Can you play Plants vs. Zombies on this? My kid loves this game. Where can I buy this game? 请问这个可以玩 植物大战僵尸吗 小孩子喜欢这个游戏，哪里可以买这个游戏呢
: Plants vs. Zombies is mainly for mobile devices—check the App Store. 植物大战僵尸主要是移动端，上app store
: The original version of Plants vs. Zombies can be purchased on either a phone or tablet. 最初版本的植物大战僵尸手机或者平板都可以买
: What other websites can I buy from? Target and Walmart didn't work out. 還有什麼網站可以買？target Walmart 都不成功
回复 @HY9898 : Best Buy takes quite a while![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)
. You can also try Walmart. At Walmart, I queued for the $499 version for a long time. Then I saw the $449 version was in stock, so I ordered that. After placing the order, I tried adding the $499 version to my cart just to see, and it actually let me add it directly and buy it! Then I canceled the $449 order. I wonder if it was a coincidence ![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)
. I bought one from each platform, afraid the order might get canceled ![[笑哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_xiaoku@2x.png?v=1)
. Best Buy这个是比较久![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)
你也可以试试看Walmart，Walmart我排队499排了很久，看到449有货，就下单了449，下单之后抱着试试看的心态加499，居然就可以直接加到购物车购买了，再去取消449，不知道是不是巧合![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)
两个平台各买了一台，怕被砍单![[笑哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_xiaoku@2x.png?v=1)
: Best Buy, the queue there is real![[笑哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_xiaoku@2x.png?v=1)

: Okay 可以
: If it's not possible, they'll get roasted. 要是不可以 真的会被骂死
: Has anyone received the next steps email from the official site after registering to buy the new console? 请问有人收到官网的注册买新机的下一步邮件吗？
: It seems to start on the 8th. If you can't snag one, you'll just have to wait for the official site. 八号才开始好像 抢不到 只能等官网了
回复 @mywrance : Try ordering offline. I previously went to GameStop in person, and there were plenty of pre-order spots available. 去线下预定吧 我之前去线下GameStop多的是预购资格
: Did anyone in the New York area manage to buy it? Been refreshing all night, no stock. 纽约地区有人买到吗？刷了一晚上了，没有货

回复 @匿名用户 : Wow digging your heels in huh? Did Nintendo save your whole family or something 这家伙 还钻上牛角尖了 任天堂救过你全家
: I'm done 我服了
: Costco bundles probably include some third-party junk![[裂开]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_liekai@2x.png?v=1)
costco的bundle会捆绑一些第三方小垃圾吧![[裂开]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_liekai@2x.png?v=1)
: Only bundles one game apparently, useless, won't buy version 2 就绑了一个游戏好像，然并卵，不会买2
: Costco bundles drop June 5th, don't pay scalper prices 6.5号costco上bundle,别加价买
: Even games got price hikes~~~~~~~ 连游戏都涨价了~~~~~~~
: Upgrade 升级
: Don't pay scalpers. Insider info: Costco will restock soon after launch. Nintendo has huge inventory this time. 别加价买，内部消息Costco在首发后不久就会上货，任天堂这次库存量特别大。
: Wait a bit![[狗头]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_goutou@2x.png?v=1)
. Even if the second-gen comes out, there's nothing good to play. Check back in a year. 等一等![[狗头]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_goutou@2x.png?v=1)
，2就算上了也没啥好玩的，过一年后再说
: This isn't unstable inventory—it's no inventory at all. 这不是库存不稳定，是根本就没有库存
: Play Win handhelds and NS—balance your gaming diet for health. win掌机要玩，ns也要玩，饮食均衡才能健康
: Right 对的
: If a true masterpiece like Breath of the Wild comes out, I'd buy the console. Otherwise, PC is fine. Plenty of games out there—missing a few is no big deal, but missing a masterpiece is a loss. 如果有一款真的能堪比当年荒野之息的神作出现，那这个游戏机我还是愿意掏钱买的。不然还是玩PC就行了。游戏多的是，少玩几款不碍事，只有少玩了神作才是亏
: ✅ Yeah ✅啊
: Purchase intent is unstable too. 购买意愿也不稳定
: True 也是
: The worst part is you can't just pop in a cartridge and play. It's like a key—you still have to download the game. 最不接受的是不能插卡直接就能玩游戏了，而且相当于插了个key，游戏还是要下载才能玩...
: With this performance, having to buy games separately, and them being so expensive, why bother with this over better Win handhelds? 就这歌性能,还得单独买游戏,游戏还贼贵,为什么放着那么多好的win掌机不买抢这玩意
: No backward compatibility for games? 游戏不能向下兼容？
: Okay 可以

Games are $70-80 each. I'll stick with my Win handheld. So many games on Steam unfinished, and Epic keeps giving away free games. Bye, Nintendo. ![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)

游戏七八十刀一个。我还是win 掌机吧。steam 上那么多游戏没打完呢。Epic上还一直送游戏。 再见任天堂。
: I have both, plus an LCD Steam Deck, but I ended up back on NS because Win handhelds overheat and are too heavy. Now I only use the ROG for new third-party games. 我都有 还有一台lcd的steamdeck 最后还是玩回ns了 因为win的发热跟重量太难受 现在就是第三方新出的啥游戏的才打开rog玩一下
: If you already have the first-gen, no need to buy the second. But if you don't, the second-gen is a good choice—newer is better. I have one, and my husband plans to get the second-gen so we can play together. 我感觉有一代不必买二代了，但是没有一代的话买个二代也不错，买新不买旧嘛。反正我有一台，我老公打算买一台二代，这样一块玩
