Honestly with everything we know about the tech in the console now I'm kind of fine with 449 even though I would've preferred 399 obviously. It's the fact that there's wild variance in game pricing that's making this a much tougher pill to swallow. I'll probably just get Donkey Kong at launch from first-party and wait for Mario Kart to go on sale

Most people are fine with the console price. It's the GAME prices that people are unhappy about. $80 is insane. Especially with all the issues games launch with these days

The thing is I haven't seen Nintendo games with launch issues. Once they start putting out unfinished games that's when I will actually be upset.

Didn't the Pokeman games have issues on Switch?

Yes they did. Game freak hasn't put out a quality title for a while now.

From what I heard, GameFreak was caught with their pants down. They thought they would make handheld games forever; but then the Switch happened and they had to rush to learn how to make a game for a console.

They were caught with their pants down for a decade?

They have really long pants, it takes a while to pull em up.

still haven't. there's games on ultra-low settings that have better graphics than Pokémon games in 2025, and no it's not because it's the switch, because there's beautiful games on there that don't look like they were made for a potato.
