It sucks how much one negative aspect can ruin discussion on something
The price of the Switch 2 games does suck but goddamn you can’t even say you’re excited for the rest of the system without being called a bootlicker or some shit

It’s rough
No constructive criticism, just pure raw hate.
that being said, it's good to remember that the problem is neither the (justifiably) outraged people nor the (justifiably) hyped people, but nintendo for causing this situation
we just didn't care because we weren't paying. now we're spoiled large children
Yes, Switch 2 game pricing is outrageous. Yes, I’m still excited. Both things can be true (and will be for most normal people lol)
There's definitely some corporate greed in there too, but people need to calm down, my god.
Otherwise I expected "The switch except it functions" which... we'll have to see.
That and more power doesn't guarantee the games will function better, at least for newer games. Sonic Frontiers is a great example of that.
As for RPGs like yeah you don't NEED a second inventory screen/map but damn it makes it convenient!
I just don't have that much disposable cashola :'[
So... a lot of this kinda falls into "That makes perfect, reasonable sense" territory, and it feels weird that everyone is upset about it?
Some data folks have graphs of older games adjusted for inflation and shows the SNES Mario Kart was more expensive, I'm old enough to remember N64 games being 80 dollars.
(btw, it is VERY annoying that people made up $90 priced games)
Then there's NEO-GEO's $200 games.
Game rentals eased the blow for a couple decades until they went on sale
Also, I always wait half a year, or so, to see about bugs.
Just because something ain’t perfect doesn’t mean we can’t like it
People are very unreasonable at times
The price is ridiculous and I will carry on saying it.
I wrote how excited I was for the Switch 2 and was accused of "needlessly defending a billion dollar company" and that I "must love billionaires".
The pricing DOES SUCK but it doesn't entirely kill my enthusiasm for the system and the games!
On Amazon France we can already pre-order the console and games with those prices:
- Console: 439 euros (instead of 469)
- Mario Kart World for 69 euros (instead of 89)
- DK Bananza for 59 euros (instead of 79)
It's still the most interesting thing economically...
I almost wonder if their 90 euros price is not here just to make the bundle look crazily appealing
They lowered the price of the 3DS because people didn't buy it, they got cocky and the consumers voted with their wallets
Here the console seems fairly priced given the hardware but 90 euro games ? Nah
Plus sure games are more expensive, but you don't have to buy every game when it comes out. The switch was the newest console for 8 years, that's a lot of time to save up.
I just don't wanna be miserable 24/7, is that to much to ask?
I'll pick up Beyond, World & Z-A, sure, but not all at once. And I'm not gonna go "holy shit my wallet" every time a Warriors spin-off is announced.
Prime 4 and Legends might just be holiday games anyways so I’ll just get them as gifts
but while Nintendo has its pricing issues, it really isn't that bad compared to how most other companies will really try to squeeze out every penny.
I just feel like the bar has been raised far beyond a price rise with what other companies have been doing with lootboxes and stuff.
Hard to not feel like you are being ripped up with this comparison
I’m genuinely really excited for the Switch 2 but I feel like I have restrict myself or people will think I’m a moron
It doesn't mean I think the price of Mario Kart is good, I just want to say what's cool about it
Cuz I've only seen memes making fun of how expensive it is after the initial announcement.
Just "Wow Ever Oasis 2!" in the middle of a pitchfork mob ROFL
I'd prefer to be wrong on this, so for everyone's sakes, I hope you end up being right and the pricing stays where it is.
I hate this route so viserally.
