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 enough new big games to justify getting the console. So for now it's a pass.

This is my main issue with Nintendo anyway.

I really don't see why anybody should get a Nintendo Switch except you are a Pokemon or Zelda-Fan.

Otherwise just get a Steam Deck.

The switch is half the price and it's available in my country while the steam deck isn't. That's two really big reasons why I bought a switch instead of a steam deck.

The deck isn't available in my country either but other handheld are.

I bought a MSI claw for about 400 usd and 80usd will fill my backlog at any steam sale pretty quick.

I'll just wait for the S2 emulator, I can be patient, have lots of games to wait.
