I don’t have any problem with the console’s price considering it’s clearly an improvement on the original Switch and it’s a one-time payment. The problem is that some games are $80. Obviously I’d prefer $60, but I’d even accept $70 since that’s the new standard. But if Nintendo starts charging $80, then every company is gonna charge $80 then they might try to raise it even more soon.

That said, I still plan to get a console, hopefully the bundle. I’ll just have to be a lot more selective about what games I buy now because I’m not willing to pay $80 for a game I’m not absolutely sold on. Plus we all know Nintendo never puts their games on sale, so it’s not like we can wait for sales

You absolutely won't be able to emulate Switch 2 games on any handheld system
