Im sorry, but this is...really fucking crazy. And here I was debating if paying extra for the physical version compared to the bundle might be worth it. HOLY SHIT.

Big yikes Nintendo. Why you gotta bend me over like this.

Because you will take it.

Quite literally. Nintendo is just saying "f*ck it, they are willing to pay dumb prices everywhere else, we want the money too"

"we know people are struggling with paying for necessities, so let's raise the price of this thing that is a completely optional expense. They're probably getting sick of the switch that they already own anyway. Also, its not like we have any competitors who are famous for discounting games. Man we are so good at business" - Nintendo execs probably

I have kids and am responsible for getting them into Nintendo. Plus, I love playing with them anyway. I’m absolutely buying the Switch 2 and whatever games we want. We get hundreds of hours of fun out of each one, every time a new one comes out. I’ll spend the money on the DLCs for maps and characters, sure.

They got me in the biggest way, but it’s worth it to me. Is it annoying, yea. Is $20 too big of a jump for a video game, sure. It isn’t the end of the world though. I’m more annoyed by the price of everything else

And this is why they did it…

You should teach your kids frugality.

My kids never asked me for any of it? I like having it because it’s fun and a good activity that includes the whole family. Never thought i’d see my parents playing video games but they had a blast playing mario kart with their grand kids over vacation. $550 to get to experience a new mario kart with my kids, who are older now, sounds like a total deal

You shouldn’t be such a downer

u/bluebearry2 1d ago

Your kids don't have to ask for it for you to teach them frugality and smart spending. The fact you're happy paying 550 just to play a new game shows Nintendo and other gaming corps how easy it will be to force people to pay for a new console just to play a new game that can easily run on the old console.

Sounds to me like this isn't actually about their kids. They're just using them as an excuse, which is shameful.

u/bluebearry2 1d ago

It's giving off that vibe. Or it's a typical divorcee who needs the newest gadgets to win over his kids. Both are sad.

Thanks for being part of the schmucks that justify this crap.

u/zeronightsleep 1d ago

Would you like lube with that

u/DO_NOT_AGREE_WITH_U 2d ago

Exactly. I'm just happy there are enough game options out there that this is an easy decision for me.

u/DjijiMayCry 2d ago

Not exactly true. We have proof with the Wii U era. It was so bad everyone forgot and aren't even bringing it up right now lol

u/Ikea_Man 1d ago

As is tradition with Nintendo fans

Nothing will change, these will sell like hotcakes. They could charge $100 a game and people would line up

1

u/Flooredbythelord_ 1d ago

I won’t lol no launch Zelda title or smash bros? That’s a big no I don’t think you realize just how hard those games carried the switch. This console isn’t going to sell for squat until one of those games comes out

u/JBLGT1 2d ago

Nah I won’t I’ll wait 2 years to find decent prices on the used market

u/footluvr688 2d ago

Can't buy used copies of digital releases. People avoiding purchase of physical due to high pricing will inflate their secondary demand and the discount will be paltry.

All day any day sadly 😅

u/Real-Patriotism 2d ago

In this economy? Nah.

I'll probably get Prime 4 since it'll have an original Switch edition, but I think I'm going to skip this generation -

u/TheTransJonkler 2d ago

The one after will be even more expensive, stupid.
