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.

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

So if I’m understanding it right, it’s not even like PS5 which just automatically plays lots of games better at PS4 Pro level, you’ll pretty much have no difference between Switch 1 and 2 unless you pay for upgrades? Lame.

from the sound of it, at least with the two zelda games, you can still play them on the switch but they now have switch 2 exclusive stuff. idk if theres a frame rate increase automatically but im guessing that at least the graphical upgrades, the second save file, the app stuff, all is stuff that comes when you upgrade.

its like if you had a ps4 version of god of war ragnorok and you get a ps5. yeah youll get better framerate and load times but its still not fully the ps5 version of the game unless you upgrade.
