500 bucks is alright
500 bucks is alright
Price of the console is 100% fine
$80 games are not
Part of that issue is the cartridge format it uses to help speed up game loading. Despite being older than 2020 it's largely been ignored until nintendo stepped in.
considering it has only one (1) launch title exclusive (mario kart)
i'm still happy with my purchase
I don't mind the price, it's the catalog that is pretty anemic, the only new first parties are Mario Kart 9 and DK64 2, both games I want to play but neither I feel any rush to get, all else announced is either years away from release or ports from other consoles/PC, I will.most likely not even look into buying the console until thete is a new Zelda or a new Xeno.
These prices don't bother me. I've gotten so much use out of my switch since 2017 that it's easily worth it. Nintendo games are good enough that I get tons of mileage out of. I'm still playing Mario kart 8 and tropical freeze to this day even though they're over 10 years old
mario kart world is $50 with the bundle. bananza is $70.
It's not & im not buying it. Reasons not just being price
nigtendo can't sell me the same games for 70 dollars again so instead they are trying to gaslight me with 10 dollar upgrade packs to use the features on said console I would have purchased & their excuse? Extra content
bought my switch when metroid prime 4 was shown. 8 years later it is now real & looks like a dog shit game
gamefreak still hasn't been tard wrangled
nintendo being so fucking cheap that a crt filter for an emulator is exclusive to a 450+50 dollar upgrade
retards here earnestly think they're getting a steal for 500 dollar bucks when its just credence that there was no need for the muh 80 dollar games fag shit tendo is doing when the game should have been 50 period
sd express for no fucking reason what so ever other than its newer & more expensive
working with jewvidia & using dlss automatically made me never want to touch it. Cant stand upscaling or frame gen so its already trash
dough bowser. It's only fitting that nintendo would have an EA employee
censorship has become big again with nintendo since 2021
Have fun but I sincerely hope anyone that buys this shit dies so the rest of us can go on without being fucked in the ass because tendies have effectively 0 self control
Just buy the games from the Japanese eshop
Anon Babble retards think Nintendo region locked the JP eshop with the foreign credit card block but literally all you have to do is buy eshop credit on Amazon Japan and they email it to you. I just bought Menhera Farm on the JP eshop (a game Nintendo blocked from coming to the west), was only 1000 yen.
i'm glad losers like you who never went to college don't get to play this superior console because you can't afford it.
It cost 750 in sweden finland norgay denmark. S ps5 is 560
I can fuck 10 hookers with that money
Or 2 high profile whores
Buying hardware that's already 4 years out of date
it is, the recent events have shown how many poorfags have creeped their way into video games
the internet has many great things but one of it's biggest flaws is that now any third worlder pirating games at 15fps on a welfare laptop think it can speak with human beings as equals and give opinions on video games
adjusted for inflation it's more than okay
I personally don't buy games full price.
And yes, Nintendo games DO go on sale and there are many ways to save a great deal on them through other means be it physical or digital.
digital doesnt mean shit
its 500$ but the soc is ampere mobile design made on samsung 8nm
what even
if you're doing ultra low budget hardware config how about price it accordingly?
lmao this entire board is just failed subliminal marketing trials.
I feel devastated. I never had a Nintendo console and was looking forward to buying Switch 2. I don't give a fuck about price but in my eyes it was the only 'physical' console left in that digital age dystopia. But now... knowing it can't even play games from cartridges without updatiy system to day 1 patch first. You HAVE to verify phone number to use gamechat. And all the game-key cartridges bullshit... I don't think I am going to buy it. I don't think I'm gonna enjoy gaming console ever again. This digital online dystopia is already here and there's no going back.
who cares
windows handhelds exist
steamos handhelds exist
you dont need nintendo for anything
games not running unless your console is updated to a specific version has been a thing for several years, it goes as far as the wii days
people only make a big deal out of it now as pearl clutching to whine about nintendo
you retards killed the meaning of dystopia by using it on absolutely every situation
i'm glad losers like you who never went to college don't get to play this superior console because you can't afford it.
You can't read do you? I don't give a fuck about handhelds. I want a real physical console. A time capsule.
First Switch isn't like that. You can go pick up switch light from the store right now that was sitting there on the shelf collecting dust, put in the game cartridge and play the game without ever connecting to the internet.
dlss on switch 2
Why tho
I want a real physical console.
wait for steam deck 2 then
What games are $80?
you're right op, $500 is totally fine. the fact that it's tendie garbage with shit hardware and shit games is not alright though
i have no problem spending that much money on something actually useful, maybe i'll get this
the cheaper ones
physical mario kart costs 90€
Sounds like you might be retarded. MK is $50 and every other game is $70 or less
Are you actually retarded? Steam was who started this online digital era in the first place.
real physical console
wait for a device that doesn't let you own a single physical game, and only lets you rent digital licenses
...and?
500? Just for being Nintendo I would pay 1000$ and 120$ for each game
First Switch isn't like that.
Pretty sure that was the case on the first Switch, where games couldn't run below a certain firmware version, just like how the Eshop regularly required the latest FW.
Playstation consoles were also the same, such as the Vita, PS3 and PSP.
And all the game-key cartridges bullshit
Inventing problems out of nowhere is a sign of mental illness anon.
None of the major gaming platforms have prevented the ability to download legitimate purchases, and game key carts are an objective upgrade over download codes that were bound to someone's account once redeemed.
I dont mind the 500 price, however, the online subscription, 80 bucks games, overpriced controllers and accesories really do add up. im refraining to pc for now.
The PS2 really did a fucking number on tendies' brains
Nevermind him, he is retarded. Anyway I feel down and don't know how to cope with the fact it is truly over.
who cares, get the console with legit 0% physical games
Ok
why do you insist on having an empty plastic box with a games name stamped on it in your house
MK is $50
are you okay?
$450 without the game unless you are talking with tax
Bundle. Anyone getting a Switch 2 that's actually got some modicum of intelligence left would be getting the bundle.
>nigtendo can't sell me the same games for 70 dollars again so instead they are trying to gaslight me with 10 dollar upgrade packs to use the features on said console I would have purchased & their excuse? Extra content
Thats not what gaslight means. Anyway:
A few upgrades are free and they are in a way upgrades. The software needs to be altered to use the new hardware. Your indie games are also not suddenly going to run at 120fps or 1080p, so its not greed per se.
Now I might eat these words, but nintendo's dlc has always been much better value then every other dev where the value is legit fair. Like 50% more content for 30% of the price.
Other devs ask like 20 bucks for just a skin.
Anyway back to the upgrades. As an ex pc fag, I get the idea that new hardware should mean better running games, no matter how old. But unless you couldnt run a game, did you really go back to games to run them at 120fps instead of 60 or did you just play mostly new games with it?
I'm not going to replay Kirby and the forgotten land any time soon, even if it had a 4k 120fps hdr bullshit add on for free, I played it, I'm good. But the extra content could be good and I am willing to pay for a few hours extra kirby. The 60fps upgrade is a, for me, free bonus with the content.
switch 2 is €470
MK combo is €510
it's even more of a no-brainer for a yuropoor
i'm not getting the bundle because i don't care about mario kart
might aswell get a steam deck then
There is also the fact that forcing to run a game above its initial cap can break things, if it's not properly updated.
You can bruteforce 60fps on Yakuza Dead Souls in RPCS3 for instance, but it makes everything runs at x2 the speed instead of actual 60fps.
nta but I'm also skipping Mario Kart World. Switch 2 is meant to replace PC gaming entirely for me, when Switch 1 was already taking 90% of my playtime in several years.
its almost 700 with mario kart on my shit ass country, im waiting a couple months before stepping in
On the contrary, 90% of the seething comes from mutts from what i've seen, they keep blaming nintendo for the tariffs.
$80 games are not
this. also game key cards.
