Support NeoGAF

[Kikorin]

I support that (but I've bought DK Island DLC and I'm going to buy Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 day one even if I've Super Mario 3D All-Stars yet).

Yay! That means even more sales.

You love when corporations wipes their boots on you, aren't you?

I wish I had the amount of free time these people have.

***BREAKING: NINTENDO TO PATENT BOYCOTTS***

i cant find 80€ switch games, most is 70. meanwhile, Ghost of Yotei for ps5 is 80€. whats happening?

 

[TheMule1983]

Been following gaming news since the gaming magazines of the 90s. This may be the dumbest thing I've ever seen, gaming related that is.

 

[Kerotan]

Oh so that's why sales are crap in Spain.

Activist group Gaming Consumer Rights

The annual activism forum must be really fun for them if they get to speak after the guys who travel the seven seas to protect dolphins.
There is an activist for everything today it seems.

 

[Scrawnton]

Artificial scarcity? The system is both selling extremely well and easily to obtain. It's hardly scarce.

I think this is more of some guy on the internet complaining about the price of mario kart and not really an organization

an overpriced console and "repackaged $80 Switch 1 games

They are right.

 

[justiceiro]

Well, I agree in principle, but the whole movement feels a little tacky to me. The website barely works on mobile, the banners looks like a poor attempt on editing imagery. Reminds me of those calling boycott to EA for not supporting the WiiU.

In the end, it's not the time to be loud, it's time to be smart. Nintendo had a successful launch, we can't change that. But there is a lot of issues that came to light that we can use for our advantage in the future. Besides, switch seems set to be supported for a while, Mario, Zelda and smash are not coming any time soon, so no reason to rush.

Switch 2 emulator can't come soon enough.

 

[LakeOf9]

I am urging all fellow gamers to boycott Nintendo and Switch 2 a better console, like…

Switch 2 180 million unit seller in 2035 confirmed

 

[Jesb]

There's better reasons to boycott Nintendo. Like their ridiculous patent applications. Boycotts won't do anything, just don't buy their products. That will work more than any boycott, I promise you.

 

[ReBurn]

There's no way this can fail.

 

[dragonyeuw]

"Activism" over the cost of a non-essential material product is delusionally entitled behavior.

Don't like the price? Can't afford it? Don't buy it. It was also hard to find in my area at launch.

This, but this is what happens when people base their identities around these faceless, for profit entities. Put out a system and software that is of value *to me*, and you have my money. If you don't, my wallet is closed. Pretty simple, and yet it seems to fly over so many peoples heads like they're being led to a store at gunpoint to buy any of this shit. The Switch 2 doesn't currently interest me based on what it offers, so I'm not buying it. I was interested in replacing my Legion Go 1 until they released the price. Yeah, no. Same with the Xbox ROG ALLY X, $1000? Yeah fuck you too. It's not rocket science.

 

[Drell]

Lack of interresting exclusive titles ?! I mean for now yes but we know it will soon have at least some contrary to competition which has just become living room PCs with absolutely no customization...

Attack Nintendo if you want but please, try to make sense with your fucking arguments...

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

You love when corporations wipes their boots on you, aren't you?

English isn't your first language, is it?

 

[RoboFu]

They are right.

What are the repackaged switch 1 games?

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

 

[Sakura]

If the system is overpriced and has no games, then why do they need to convince people to not buy it?

 

[wipeout364]

I am surprised about the number of switch 2 consoles available. Either Nintendo flooded the pipeline or they are not moving after the initial rush. They are everywhere and a GameStop employee told me they are not selling after the initial wave.

I will be very interested in how things go over the holiday season. I really think the game prices and game keycards may be a turnoff for a lot of parents.

 

[iHaunter]

Don't need to be an activist to boycott this greedy ass company. Have not purchased anything for 3+ years nor will purchase anything in the future.

 

[poppabk]

This is blatantly just one guy making up an 'activist group' having AI make him a website, all because his mom told him he'll have to mow the lawn if he wants a Switch 2 for Christmas.
