Nintendo is actually worse than EA

so you view increase price by 20 dollars for a complete product is worse than gambling driven skinner boxes?

Inflation and tariffs are forcing Nintendo to release $80 games but for some mysterious reason all other companies charge $70.

sd express is currently quite expensive, 128 gb sd express is 50 USD (they aren't offered in 64 gb), when the switch launched 32gb sds were like 10
since switch 2 game cards are almost certainly based on the same tech, a

Hell no!!! , S2 must success. if Nintendo fails the industry too.

 

[MoneySings]

Honestly? I was hyped for the S2 but after last week's reveal, I cancelled my pre-order.
Games are too much now.
No Hall Effect Sensor sticks.
Upgrades are too much.
Accessories are expensive.

Mario Kart World looks good, but the "open world" part is a gimmick - sounds like you just drive to the next event... big whoop.

I think there's more to that to the open world, like you still race with checkpoints instead of laps. Not that you should reinstate the preorder right away, will be plenty of chances to get one over the next 8 year tenure.

You do realize there's a crap ton that they haven't revealed about MKW yet, right? For all we know there could be missions, a story mode, a new take on battle mode and more!

The MKW Direct is coming on the 17th. I would wait until then before claiming there's nothing more to the game. I will be happily enjoying this game come June 5th.

Are you going to be mad about other games going up in price or it is just easy to scapegoat Nintendo?

It's easy to scapegoat Nintendo for the price increase of games because they will likely be the first to $80 games to the market just like people scapegoated Sony for the $70 games with the PS5. Any company who introduces more expensive games in an already expensive hobby will most likely receive backlash as well.

 

[SweetTooth]

Switch 2 will be fine, even at this price point. PS6, when it comes out, has to be a lot cheaper than the Pro is now to even succeed.

When you put it all in perspective, Nintendo is doing the right thing. The other competitors seem to be in much more trouble when it comes to launching a new system.

Historical trends doesn't align at all with what you say.

PS6 needs to be cheaper than Pro to succeed. At this price point it won't be as succesful for a mainstream audience.

Anything needs to be cheaper to penetrate market. Tolerance can vary by brand. Im sure PS6 will be cheaper than Pro, but it won't be as cheap as launch PS5 @$399

Ps6 will be $600 and games at $90, Mark my words.

Can't wait to see it fail.

40x the power of Switch 2 for only $600? What a bargin!!

It won't.

But can I play it on the go?

 

[Lokaum D+]

i remember seeing a lot of this back when WiiU was announced, after all the shit PR SW2 is getting, lets see how things ll end.

Will Nintendo be happy with the out come this time ??

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

I'm not happy with all their choices but it's going to be nearly impossible for the Switch 2 to fail.

 

[Gamer79]

The Nintendo Shills supporting this kind of behavior it is disappointing. These Fanboys have like a cult like behavior. I will say it again, Miyamoto could shit in a box and you Guys Would Be offering a fortune to get a whiff. Cutting their nose to spite their face!

 

[Donkusei]

I hope it will be a success. Switch 2 is everything I wanted. I want powerful Nintendo devices and the price of the console is good. I love all the small (but important overall) adjustment they made on the system (software and hardware). I think that it will be the best Nintendo console ever made, basically.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Switch 2's not gonna fail, bro. Get over it. Deal with it. Gonna sell like crazy and be around for years. You're just going through the five stages for some reason

 

[Donkusei]

Nintendo is the most anti-consumer company in the entire videogame industry and it's not even close.

-> Retrocompatible
-> Many free updates (or paid updates but still affordable, like $10)
-> All Switch controllers can be used on the system AND on Switch 2 games (Dualshock 4 can only be used to play PS4 games on PS5)
-> Thx to the GameShare functionnality, you can play with friends online (or locally on multiple consoles) even if he didn't buy the game
-> The new "virtual game cards" feature is better to lend your digital games (or to use multiple consoles)

But I guess they are "anti-consumer" just because they increased the price of games by $10, so the games just cost the same as PS5 or Xbox or even Steam sometimes (everyone loves Steam isn't it? But where are you people when a digital only game costs $70, with absolutely NO option to buy physical games because Valve never tried to make a system for physical games)?

"There is no issue at all, I love it, Steam is great, Nintendo is the WORST COMPANY IN THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY"

Anyway...

The console is not even expensive for what you get. Great value, better than Steam Deck.

N64, Game Cube, WiiU

all failures.

I'm not saying the SW2 is going to catastrophically fail, but Nintendo has already been driven out of the home console business. what i am saying is that Nintendo is not safe or immune to falirue. i can see a slower adoption rate for SW2 tho

Suavely dismissing the Switch was a home console AND a handheld. Sleepy and Microweenie should've been taking notes.

1. then what was the switch lite?
2. the Homeconsole aspect of it was the remaining 13M Nintendo homeconsole users left in the WiiU generation

People who are expecting this thing to actually fail are in for a very rude awakening

 

[blacktout]

90 for a physical kart game!? Yeah keep that shit and I will keep my kidneys.

If you're talking about USD, the price is $80 for both physical and digital. Still high, but there seems to be this weird, pervasive belief that a $90 USD physical edition of Mario Kart World exists and we've known for almost a week now that it doesn't.

I'd lick that $80 game card.

The fed up people didn't even vote with their wallet with the PS5, and that fanbase isnt even as fanatical as Nintendo's

It's not going to be the casuals lining up day 1 for this price.
