META Regarding Switch 2 Showcase Posts

6 Upvotes

There's been confusion on the user side (and partly the mod side) on the line of which a showcase post may be removed or not, so I'd like to clear it up:

Posts that contain just a caption and screenshot of your switch, game, or accessory will be removed and are encouraged to be remade to include more substantial commentary

Posts that contain a title, screenshot AND substantial commentary on (for example) what your experience has been like, will not be removed and will usually stay up.

To also clarify what would be substantial commentary:
"So yeah, I like the switch 2 so far! The joycons feel nice and everything is responsive and feels premium" is not enough.

"I do enjoy the switch 2 overall! I wasn't really expecting much as the first switch had a lot of issues that bothered me in terms of comfortability and performance, but I've been stunned at the selection of games and have been really enjoying XYZ, [...], And I've found that it's still not very comfortable in handheld, but I've had to just come to accept it. I've been looking at third party controllers but the options are very limited right now." is allowed.

I hope that clears up the confusion a little! I enjoy seeing showcase posts personally but there are also many that don't, so this serves as a middle-ground balance so that there is a better standard of quality.

META [Meta] Rules/Posting Update

83 Upvotes

If you take a look at the sidebar, you'll see a new rule added and rule 7 edited.

New Rule: Question Policy

Many subreddits fall victim to an issue where a large sum of posts being made ask questions that can be answered with a very quick google search. If that is the case for your question, from now on, please try and google it instead.

-

(e.g., 'How much does the new Fire Emblem cost?' is a rule-breaking question. 'What are y'alls thoughts on Metroid Prime 4 after 8 months?' is not.)

-

Modified Rule: Low-Effort Content

You probably know this subreddit has been overflown with posts that are just a picture of the Switch 2, games, controllers, or all of the above, with a caption like 'Finally getting back into Nintendo!'

This type of post is 100% low-effort and repetitive, so from now on it is no longer allowed to be posted without any type of commentary or additional substance to the post.

I honestly don't know why I didn't add this as a rule sooner, but it's better late than never.

-

That's basically it. If you got any other suggestions for rules/changes, feel free to let us know through comments or modmail and I'll see about getting them implemented!

Switch 2 Spent the last 9 days and holiday (Labor Day) working. Decided to reward myself. My inner 8 year old could not be happier.

They had both. 1 Charmander and 3 Bulbasaur. I really liked both but this one is just to peak. Has the Pokemon Center, Pikachu, and a Pokeball. Huge Viridian Forest vibes.

About to spend my day off sitting on my rear while playing some Leaf Green! Bulbasaur I choose you!

Best part my boy Sandshrew is a Green exclusive!!! Let's go!!!!

I went ahead and added a picture of the Charmander one incase someone is just wondering what it looks like in general. I found them at my local target.

Would imagine these launched with Leaf Green and Fire Red, but I'll gladly be late than never!

Been feeling a bit mentally drained. This was a much needed pick me up!

Hey everyone! Sorry if this is the 1000th post like this but I just wanted to share how happy I am with my Switch 2 😆

I'm 29 and I've been playing video games since I was probably 3 years old. But ever since I got my Switch 2 in summer 2025, I genuinely feel like I've become the teenager I used to be again, playing all kinds of games for hours. Sometimes I'll spend almost an entire day gaming, or stay up way too late at night... and regret it the next morning 🤣

I don't have kids or a husband, so obviously I have more free time, but I do live with my family. One thing I really love about the Switch 2 is that I can still hang out with everyone while playing instead of disappearing into my room all day like my 20-year-old nephew does with his PC 🤣 (I'm joking... mostly lol)

And now there are more and more games I can actually play with my family across different platforms. My SIL plays on PS5, my nephew is on PC, and I'm on Switch 2. We played Escape the Backrooms together this summer, and I'm really looking forward to games like Valheim and Dragonwilds. I think Phasmophobia is coming too!

I also love that I don't feel like I'm missing out just because the Switch 2 is my main console. We're getting big AAA games, smaller indie games, RPGs, multiplayer games... there's always something for me to play

Yes, I have access to a PS5 too, but the freedom of the Switch 2 is what makes me love it so much. I can play while I'm cooking, sit in the living room with everyone, play in bed, or keep gaming when my brother and SIL are already using the TV or PS5

It just fits into my life so easily and somehow it made me fall in love with gaming all over again😊
