The Nintendo Switch is launching March 3 for $299.99, and Nintendo says it had to make some tough decisions in order to reach that price. Everything you need to get started is included in the box, such as a pair of Joy-Con controllers and a docking station.
Blood Bowl 3 drops the Wood Elves faction, a 2024 roadmap and plans to come to PlayStation Plus this month.
Goliath, meet David. Big time.
From first-person espionage thrillers to the original installments of beloved franchises, check out the greatest retro video games we recommend for anyone.
I’d have taken a few of those out. Prefer Sonic over Sonic 2. Outrun should be in there. Maybe even Pong as millions of people had fun with that even if it was repetitive. Final Fight pipped any Streets of Rage game, although Streets of Rage had the better soundtrack. Too many to list l guess. To me, retro gaming is the 1980s, maybe going into early 1990s.
Why would non-Nintendo fans buy such a device and the accessories required at such a high cost?
The appeal of Nintendo handhelds are that they tend to be very cost effective. 3DS tried to buck this trend when it launched at at a price of $250 and suffered dearly for it until the price was slashed by $70.
As for console gamers you'd have a pretty tough sell trying to convince people to spend more than they would on PlayStation and Xbox platforms that offer more games, services, features, & longevity.
Only diehard Nintendo fans will put up with these prices.
All you need is the console and a game. Why are people retarded? You can buy extras later. If you have a family, then you are used to buying extra controllers with systems for party games.
The author themselves say that everything you need to get started is in the box (minus the game of course) so I don't see where these hidden costs are coming from because everything else is optional. The AC adaptor (for when on the go) is likely the only thing I'd consider a hidden cost maybe but other than that, you don't NEED more controllers or a charging grip. Yes the accessories are expensive but again, optional. The console itself is also over priced imo but that's not exactly a hidden cost is it??
Edit: fixed meaning of sentence.
This handheld is a joke
As I said in another thread:
$300 - Switch console
$60 - game
$40-80 - 128gb or 256gb memory card (the Switch has a pitiful 25gb available internally )
Total $400-440 for the console with one game and much less storage than the competition (which come with 500gb of internal storage and a game). And if you want a real controller instead of the tiny Switch joypads, add another $70 for the Pro controller. This system is massively overpriced and substantially less powerful than the competition. Nintendo had better re-think the whole thing, or they're going to have a Wii U 2 on their hands.
