GGG makes the argument that with the announcement of the New 2DS XL and the sales of the Switch so far, that any consumers waiting for a price drop may be waitin several years for one just like the Wii.
"The Barcelona-based (Spain) indie games publisher JanduSoft and indie games developer Juan-Mod, are today very glad and proud to announce that their 3D arcade action-platformer "Teared", is now available for PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, and the Nintendo Switch) via digital stores." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord brings back the classic experience with revamped graphics and other improvements.
"The Spain-based indie games publisher Firenut Games and Granada-based (Spain) indie games developer Trigger the Monster, today announced with great joy and thrill that their dark fantasy adventure/management game “Search of Light” (AKA SOL), is now available for PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, and the Nintendo Switch)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Even Wii U is still $300 in places that you can still find it being sold.
I just hope NS doesn't stay the same price for 4 years.
Nintendo decrease that Switch price to see your fanbase rise.
who cares, in years that thing will be death as the Wii U.
I don't mind it being (and staying) 300$/€
I -DO- mind that it doesn't come with the Pro-controller and a game included.
As a gamer who has no interest in playing this as a handheld, nor as someone remotely interested in having to put up with those joy-cons (cons indeed), it basically means the Switch STARTS at a 300$ (350€ at a local store btw) price, but I would have to buy a pro-controller as well if I am going to actually enjoy playing the system.
I rather would have seen Nintendo making the gimmick-stuff optional, but obviously it being Nintendo, I didn't actually expect them to do that.
Perhaps in a few years they can be bothered to release a 'Pro-version' of their system, so without the handheld aspect yet with the pro-controller bundled in, and a bigger HDD.
Right now though, if I want to buy a Switch, pro-controller, and -1- game, like Zelda, the cost would already be around the 500€. Which seems a bit steep, considering I can buy 20-30 excellent PS4 games for that same price.
And that 's why I will not buy it.
