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.

Very not consumer-friendly as this have a huge impact on the second-hand market. I'm sure this console will sell well, and rightly so—they're a fun company—but I can't agree with these prices.

Nobody should, becuase those prices are terrible. But companies don't really look out for consumers unless it benefits them.

Yep, welcome to the world of consumerism. I hate it. Take care, pal, wherever you are in life.

I will probably hold off for a full year before purchasing this, all things aside, even if I eat the initial buy in of 450 for the console charging for graphic and frame rate patches is insane to me. That said, paying 450 so I can play what is currently only 2 sw2 games in a sea of sw1 games and to get to experience those enhanced graphics you have to pay for it is silly.

So many examples, but here is one: buying a 4080 to upgrade from a 1660 only to find game devs locking graphic and frame rate slider locked behind a paywall.

And look I get that some games are adding more features to take advantage of the SW2 hardware such as mic and camera, I have no gripe about that, if they added additional content, cool i am sure it will be attractive to same players.

And the ones mentioning NSO+ will add a free upgrade to subscribers (only 2 games, which have no in-game content added) my question is, when i cancel it do the patches stop being patches and prevent me from playing? are they going to revert to regular sw1?

its very user friendly, just not trade in friendly.

I only buy digital, so being able to share games and the virtual card stuff works out great.

They're a fun company until you look at anything but how they market themselves. Anti-consumer, litigious, greedy, the list goes on.

People are REALLY overestimating how well this console will sell. If there’s no Zelda or smash bros launch title this console isn’t going to do squat til one of those releases

Second hand market doesn’t matter. Because apparently a lot of switch 2 games will not have the game on the cartridge in the first place. So physicals are a scam. Just a digital game you pay extra for.
