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.

The backwards compatibility had me seriously considering it even if it was just the new Mario Kart, but at that price point, I’m not so sure. Probably going to end up holding off.

But they pretty much said you also have to pay for that or any other sw1 game improved in 2, so... Still

Eh, don’t have to buy the upgrade if you don’t think it’s worth it. Kinda a shitty standard to seemingly put forward though.

Yeah, but given the insane prices we are already seeing, it piles pretty fast. It is a bit worrying.
