Hypocrites…..No

Vindictive, Opportunistic, Capitalist……ABSOLUTELY.

Every generation I’ve tried to give Nintendo the benefit of the doubt since the Wii, and every time they get worse and worse. I loved every Nintendo platform GameCube and prior, so much so, they were my platform of choice as a kid, they lost me with the Wii but I still enjoyed my DS. I even thought the Wii U was decent, but they dropped support. The 3DS pricing fiasco was a mess, and looks like Switch 2 is repeating the same mistake but WORSE. I had no issue with Switch, but some Nintendo franchises I use to love are now just stuck in being too safe / subpar experiences for what are some of the biggest franchises in gaming.

Honestly with the hypocrisy and the prices they are expecting people to pay with their greed, emulate to your hearts content if they are going to act like this.

Their old games should be able to buy separately without subscription or maybe they should start doing collections which you can buy physically. There's so many games of Zelda, Mario, Kirby etc that go back to either the NES or Gameboy days, they could make some pretty big collections if they wanted but they just don't bother. Hell we're seeing Wind Waker on the Switch 2 and it's not the Wii U version, give us that rumoured Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD pack Nintendo.

what bothers me about the prices, is obviously how high they are for .. subpar vraphics and such, its the attitude nintendo has.

"wanna play zelda? 90 dollars. you know u cant live without it"

thats the vibe its giving me.

they're essentially forcing fans to buy the switch bundle with the new mario kart, cause the game itself is like 80 ha

Not only that but I guarantee you that every copy of the mario kart bundle sold, Nintendo will flex as a metric for how not an issue the $80 price is.

Probably built off the corpses of all the emulators they took down smh

Lexreborn219d ago

That’s just going to make switch 2 easier to crack open AND even getting better pc emulation for switch 1 going so cool I guess

Vits19d ago

The issue is finding people with the courage to even attempt that. Nintendo went hard on emulators this time around, even tracking people outside their usual sphere of influence. As for better PC emulation for the Switch 1, that’s not coming from this. Nintendo has famously never released an in-house emulator that outperforms a community-made one.

Sircolby4519d ago

"Made their own" ....sure they did. I guess they should have let the emulator coders go a bit longer before they shut it down and more of their games might have worked lol.

Review - Star Overdrive (Switch) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "That, perhaps, is the greatest takeaway from the entire ordeal: the love. However much you may roll your eyes at the classic trope of a boy coming to the rescue of a girl, there’s such genuine emotion in the notes that Nous has left for Bios. There’s some brilliant voice acting done by Nous, which must fill the silence that Bios creates as he refrains from making a single noise throughout the journey. But she longs for him, she holds his heart dear, and his determination and steadfast movement through hostile, unknown dangers to find her again speak volumes without a word. It’s not a perfect title, but it’s wonderfully memorable, and I highly encourage anyone and everyone to take a chance on Star Overdrive. The beauty is simple, in the end: Bios and Nous are one, and that drives their entire future to the stars and beyond."

Everyone wants a cheaper switch 2 and games

Vits7h ago

But of course, it's around 30% cheaper when compared to the global model. That kind of price difference really makes it hard to ignore. Even I would be interested in getting one, and I barely speak Japanese.
