Overpriced, underpowered, and Nintendo gone full anti-redemption arc.
Nah, I don't need some activist group to tell me I should save my money. Nintendo has utterly lost the plot.

Do you magically not pay tax?

I live in the UK.............. the tax is included, but you still seem to be citing special editions and one game lol. You could go digital and save a bit, or shop around.

The website states that "it's time we SWITCH 2 a new gaming platform,"

Literally the same exact energy as Hillary Clinton saying "Pokemon Go to the polls". No matter how much I can agree with Nintendo being scummy despite objectively spending less money than any of the companies on their content and hardware...this won't win anyone over.

The problem is always that consoomers gotta consume, and people are trained to buy into hype cycles & FOMO. Easiest way to vote with your wallet isn't even having to give up buying this stuff...it's just wait for it to drop in price. Even Nintendo has sales for as pitiful as they are, just buy less day one. Most feasible response.

Don't buy if you're unhappy. Simple as that. I'm happy paying for quality games and will skip what I don't like.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Only* Nintendo hardware I've ever decided** to skip.***




*Except WiiU

**I reckon if they'd shipped a few games I wanted to play I might have got a WiiU.

***Also NES and Gameboy and virtualboy. But from the SNES onwards, I've had them all.

No one's skipping the switch 2. You will have one secretly crying to yourself under your covers at some point because you had to cave.

I agree with some statement but this just sounds stupid to me:
"Gaming should be accessible and fun for everybody regardless of their budget, country, or lifestyle."

Huh? how does this make sense???? this sentence is just delusional and technically gaming are already accessible to everyone: if you're poor and broke just download candy crush, if you have money buy a pc or switch or a steam deck

I'm more insterested in boycotting games like concord and dustborn

As I said it many times... every comunity got what they deserve...

If you don't have a switch 2 why you care about nintendo scamming them $80 for Wii ports...
The same applies for Microsoft... If you aren't in the xbox ecosystem why you care about consoles being more expensive over time...
And with Sony more of the same... why you care about non existent PSVR2 support... or PS4 remasters...

Vote with your wallet and only buy what you must.

No sales tax in Montana, no VAT in America.

People rarely look at the bigger picture here or step into the average consumers shoes. Core hobby gamers who spend lots of time playing games, and will finish games in hours or days are a pretty niche bunch overall. Value to them will always be a hard sell. The masses will simply get more value as they play these games over a longer period, and families even more.
