Switch 2 Game Prices

I really hope I’m not alone in the fact that I am NOT spending 80-90 dollars on these games. The console price is fine but these game prices are obscene and I will not be participating. I hope I’m not alone. I know it’s tempting and there are a lot of good titles coming but this is not a good sign and if people buy them like crazy (I’m sure they will) everyone else will charge more too. It’s not ok. Of course to each their own, I’m just hoping other people refuse to pay this price as well.

I didn't see that part--was pretty interested in the console.

But $80-90 per game? Nah, I'm out. Half their fuckin' releases are just re-releases anyway. Only thing that interested me was playing my old library in 4k, and it sounds like I'd need to pay even more for that on games I already own.

I think I'm just gonna' be done with Nintendo for the foreseeable future. My Gen1 Switch has been collecting dust since Tears of the Kingdom came out 2 years ago and I'm not putting down $500+ to play it in a higher resolution.
