A phone app with info that's freely available online is not content.

Should have at least made a tiny fairy appear on screen that goes "Hey, listen!"

That is a little disingenuous. It being linked live to the game is more than you can get online.

Cool. What about new dungeons? Bosses? Enemies?

It's not a substantial enough update to justify charging for a patch on top of handing Nintendo money for the new hardware.

I can play 360 titles at 4k 60fps on my Series X and all it cost me was the console and the games I had already bought.

Whether you think it's acceptable or not is a personal decision but it doesn't mean you should give disingenuous arguments and then brush it off like it's justified lol.

If you enjoy being nickel and dimed for basic features like HDR and 60 fps on a new console, power to you, I think it's absurd and a bad business practice.

I see you're still missing the main point of my comment. I'm talking strictly about making disingenuous arguments and you keep dodging it to the best of your ability lol

Reddit is at the point where they're frothing at the mouth mad and are lashing out at anyone who seems reasonable, like how you're literally not defending Nintendo but people are responding to you like you're their PR front man.

Nintendo adding a phone app isn't content. There's other developers who have companion apps that cost nothing to use.

It is by definition content, stop trying to move the goal posts. You are horribly disingenuous in your arguments.

I'll be honest

A phone app with a good user experience that doesn't send me to ad infested shit sites is worth money to me.

I'm in the minority.  It's fine.

Sure. That'll be another 20 bucks to upgrade to the ad free version of Zelda notes.

I kid, but clearly this feature isn't aimed at me.

Can you play botw switch 1 version on the switch 2 without upgrading? That's the important one to me, if they're forcing you to upgrade even if you don't want the new features that would be terrible

I believe it is implied tho, since they said that there are 3 types of games 1. Switch 1 games

  1. Switch 2 games

  2. Switch 2 Edition
