I barely have any coins due to being on the job hunt for almost 3 months, so Funky is entirely right. I’ll probably wait a bit and get it around July when the new DK drops.
Everyone is forgetting that Sony and Microsoft tried doing the $70 or $80 video game when their next gen consoles came out. The people that were content with waiting for sales or playing their old games, helped drop the average price back down to $60. Nintendo is no different.
Nintendo pretty much never puts their games on sale because they want players to enjoy the games as soon as they can instead of waiting for a price drop
The Sims will always have one of the most evil business models imo. I’m so glad they finally have competition to worry about bc there is absolutely no reason to have $1,000+ worth of DLC.
Not to fucking mention “Dead by Daylight” like at what point is the game just not worth it?? If you have access to almost no content without shilling out INSANE amounts of money after ALREADY buying the game, then is that rlly a game??? Like fr?? That shit should be free updates not paid DLC
FUCKING LITERALLY i fucking hate games like the Sims and Dead By Daylight where the OG game costs money but is super bare bones and you need to spend over a hundred fucking dollars just to HAVE content in the game. Cringe as hell
you know that like the first rule of being wealthy is being smart with your money right? like there's always people like you whenever companies pull ballsy prices, yet an actual wealthy person would know when something isn't worth the inflated asking price.
I mean you literally just said why games are costing more. One second we wanna support developers. Next second we don't when that mean we get inconvienced.
Nintendo will survive a poorly received console, but survival isn't going to mean the same thing as prosperity. People like to think SEGA just decided one day out of the blue to quit making consoles, but they were barely surviving as a company.
That's why, when I found out about this cool VR game, I didn't run to buy it and instead decided to give myself time to understand if I really want it or not :>
I’ll probably get the console in the launch window. I was going to use money from selling some game stuff (that I’d be selling anyway) to cover pretty much all of it, so the cost’ll be pretty lateral for me anyway. I don’t mind paying $40-ish for a Switch Pro.
same white liberals ignoring the GOP murdering innocent socialist leaders and then acting surprised when it happens at home. every single day another old white idiot surprised that a Nazi publication backs Trump for the 99th time.
Black leftist actually, it’s just Nintendo is porting F-Zero GX so I’m legally required to simp for them. But let’s roll it back to $70-$90 being bullshit prices for games that AREN’T ultimate additions.
It's still cheaper than PS5 or a Xbox, and I least know Nintendo has solid quality checks.........minus Pokemon and switch controls. Monster Hunter Wilds is still $70, so I'm going to assume the quality at least kinda makes up for the price on top of free updates.
This could be me having standards lowered by decades of scalpers charging wild prices for classics, like it's expensive yeah, but Monster Hunter Wilds is $70 too.
Lame. Being adamant about non piracy is for bitches, especially in this capitalist hellhole. Corporations can suck it up. I'll download as many gamecube games as i want
careful there my friend, you have a very high chance of being called a corporate bootlicker for wanting to actually buy something if you continue this conversation
I get it. I don't like screwing over a passionate team's work like that, but then I remember most of the monetary decisions come from the higher-ups, and suddenly I feel more at ease with it. It IS unfortunate, I'll agree there
I’ll bet Nintendo is having second thoughts about their game pricing after seeing the orange dipshit start a tax (tariffs) war. Physical games costing $100 (after tax) is so laughably wrong.
Giving into the corporations demands to accept a new standard that only benefits them is not worth being able to tune out for a bit. Also emulation exists.
Seeing a hater call a game being slightly more expensive than usual a "corporate demand" is all I needed to put this entire debacle to rest in my mind.
And you dont have to accept what corporations want to set as a new standard. Its funny how people will act like its their pride and joy to justify a game company trying to take advantage of them.
In all my years of interacting with people online its people who play video games that stound out by going so vehemently against their own interests at every turn.
the games look good at least, but yeah 80-90 dollars for a single game just isn’t worth it, period. I could handle 60, maybe 70 for a few really good games, but that’s way too much
Are we seeing the same thing? Because I’m unapologetically not impressed by what was revealed. They’re banking on most Nintendo players to be product slaves who will continue to buy even before they think.
Doesn’t matter what you see that is factually incorrect the hardware is leaps and bounds better just bc it’s not a realistic artstyle with 500 million on it doesn’t mean it’s nothing

(My spouse and young child are side-eyeing me for some reason. Maybe they want cheese too.)
That's probably why he's one of my favorite characters.
Prices and discourse increased so much in so little time
(Pretty good system tho in spite of how bad it tastes)
Yummers.
Oh and the dolphins at the duckstations will help with some old stuff.
Burgers?
Rent?
Rentable Burgers?
Gonna wait on the Switch 2 a little bit longer.
That said, pirate everything that isn't nailed down
Fuck the haters
There be booty!
I will pirate video games to my hearts content now solely to spite you
(unless I FW the devs)
Japanese Switch Price - $330
with 25% tariff is $419, then lack of shipping deferment is another 20 or so.
Funky Kong is the man! Or... Kong.
Nobody is making you spend $80.
Your sample size is literally one game that you barely know anything about.
Also they're not trying to "take advantage" of people. It's a game, not sexual assault.
Do both, buy nentindu
But uhh
Games look cool
