These clowns saw Astro's playroom and thought, "But what if we make the prayers pay?"

I know people keep mentioning Astro, and fairly so.
But like, what is this game they are making you buy? its barely a game and quite literally like tech demos.
Honestly this whole S2 announcement and direct has been so strange the longer I sit on it. Like the wheelchair basketball game, it's so off-brand Nintendo.

should definitely be free, odd choice that I expect to see reversed later, perhaps by holiday season
the aesthetic look nice btw, a lot like the Labo informational screens and diagrams

I was astonished when I saw that, meanwhile Sony is offering for free the awesome Astrobot Playroom for showcase the PS5 and Nintendo make you paid for... "this".
What a joke. They are so cheap on this.

Yeah, charging for this is a dumb move. No shade on the devs who put time and effort into it, but this is obviously just a literal showcase of the Switch 2 hardware, it's insane they think people will pay money for it.
Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Will Be a Paid Tour of Your New Nintendo Switch 2 - IGN
Nintendo has announced the Switch 2 Welcome Tour, a special game launching alongside the Switch 2 to take you on a guided tour of its new hardware. Surprisingly, though, it's not a pack-in piece of software, but a separate, paid digital game.www.ign.com
I couldn't believe my ears when I heard it'll be paid. I'd want to get paid to play it. It's basically a marketing and tutorial software for the Switch 2.
Launches same day as Switch 2.

Maybe there are a bunch of minigames that demonstrate the controller and the whole system? The Nintendo rep guy said something about this is me in the game, and was running around as a player controlled character. It could be like Nintendoland, which was both game and tutorial for the Wii U features.

I honestly have to stop myself from laughing every time I'm reminded of this. Funniest announcement of the Direct. The sheer audacity of Nintendo to charge for a tutorial tech demo. It's like a joke you'd make about the company.
It's silly, because it could have been a useful introduction to their new hardware gimmicks, but now next to no one will use it because it's just not the sort of thing anyone expects to pay money for, but, honestly, I can't even be mad. It's so funny.

Just for the pure audacity of it. I love Nintendo games, but this is just in poor taste.

This is a AA game, so probably will only be $40.

Anything above $4.99 for this garbage would be an insult, not that any price at all isn't an insult already.
Even if it was $.99, on principle I wouldn't buy it.

I can't imagine that this started with the idea of it being a paid game. It'll be super interesting to see what it'll cost and the reviews.

I cannot wait to pay $450 + tax + sub to play 20 year old games.

I see nothing wrong here. Theyre just catering to the intelligence level of their audience.

No thanks, I'll just boot the thing up and fuck around with it until I've got the hang of things or maybe just open the booklet that comes with the console and read. They're taking the piss asking for people to pay for this.

Sony released Astro's Playroom as a free pack-in ...

When was Nintendo not greedy?
During the anti-3rd party NES era? The $70 cartridge N64 era? Through their never-sale history? $80 joycon insta-drift bullshit? Excessive use of DMCA takedowns?
While I have a soft spot for the SNES, Nintendo has been nasty company for a LONG time. Fans have just looked the other way.

Looks like the Switch 2 is the map you navigate. There are gates you have to unlock to proceed further. The screen is a giant ice field your avatar can skate around on.
Theyre calling them tech demos, and not minigames, though. Value depends on how much game there is in the demos. I didnt know you could play with dual mice. As usual, only Nintendo will actually do anything with it.

It would be funny to know how many sales there are of this.

There's no need to buy it, here's the full gameplay.
The funny thing is that they tell you to press the button, and the information is basic. xD

Astro Bot better watch out, Nintendo throwing their hat in the ring.
This is beyond pathetic
This should be free to all owners and wanting money for a demo of your unit is asinine.
But, the market will do the talking and this will make Nintendo MILLIONS I am sure.

This actually looks like a fun way to show Switch 2's features but it should have been free, I dont understated why Nintendo decided to charge people for this.

The price? We've known that since the console's reveal. Yes, it's true.

You know what is even more shitty about this situation? Is that price will probably be locked for years.

not the price just charging for this shit!
they seem greedy more then ever

Yeah, absolutely. I remember when the PS5 first launched, I asked my brother-in-law why he wasn't playing Astro's Playroom. He brushed it off, saying it must be awful because it was free, so he just skipped it.
This makes me wonder if it's a Nintendo mentality—this idea of associating free with low quality. But even if that's the case, charging $10 for what's essentially a tutorial? That's just ridiculous.

exactly! its clearly something they could of brushed it off as free but they decided to slap $$ signs on it! its weird the way they think these days
they need a reality check ! Nintendo clearly does...fuck em
I always was a Nintendo fan but not anymore
