What time is it?
You think like a Nintendo CEO. Not as a gamer.
I got this baby pre-orderer. I was extremely positive during Direct. But Nintendo being Nintendo, every day more bad news started coming in.
- It started with the horrible game pricing.
- Soon after the "Pro" Controller is confirmed as not having HAL.
- Then it turns out it also doesn't have analogue triggers so we can't even play racing games or drive normally in a open world game.
- Then it seems to lose VRR.
As a gamer these things are important to me. Especially when a damn controller is more expensive than the competition and has less options.
As a gamer and longtime day 1 Nintendo fan, I'm really thinking hard about cancelling the preorder since these practices are beyond what I deem acceptable as a fan and a consumer and I only play Mario Kart at launch anyways.
I want to be respected. To be honest, I only feel respected by Xbox and that says a lot doesn't it?
Keep your pre-order until we see how this shakes out, but I'm also guessing we will not find out the truth until reviewers get hands-on testing. I don't expect Nintendo will tell us anything as the vast majority of consumers don't know or care about this feature.
