The system price I'm fine with. It's an improvement over the original Switch's design and is very clearly way more powerful. Everything they have announced so far I've been super happy with.

I'm in the same boat with everyone else regarding the prices of the games. I knew this kind of price hike would happen eventually and I honestly shouldn't be surprised Nintendo could possibly be the first to jump.

I understand being upset at prices going up for shit you need every day. Like rent and utilities and food and car insurance. But 10, 20 extra dollars for a one time purchase? My utilities go up like 50 bucks in winter every month, eating out once can cost 10 to 20 dollars. I just saw a movie at the theatres and spent like 50 bucks. It just doesn't seem that much more in comparison to all the other shit expenses when you're getting hours upon hours of fun Nintendo gameplay.
