The Nintendo Switch 2 is so popular that even MicroSD cards are selling out in both online and physical stores.
Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher developer CD Projekt revealed its earnings and announced that Cyberpunk 2 is now in pre-production.
F1 25 Review - EA's fifth outing with the F1 series is now here with F1 25 and it comes with a new Braking Point entry and a lot more.
Street Fighter 6 on Switch 2 includes a Game-Key card and a 2-year expiring DLC code, raising concerns among physical game collectors.
@terry: “It will be the last Nintendo console with any physical games anyway. “
It’s that mentality that got us where we are now where it’s ok to pay $10 for a skin that used to be free by unlocking a level or playing on a higher setting 😩.
never bought a costume /skin..never will.
but yes..people are dumb and they got us where we are now. with games being incomplete, needing many patches, having tons of dlc, microtransactions and all that shit.
It’s crazy alone that it’s separate in the first place. This version should just be complete. I see what Capcom is doing here, they are making it hard for anyone to resell the game similar to what EA used to do
Switch 2 really went from a ‘Day 1 Must Buy’ to a ‘Might pick one up some day in the future’, because of all the anti-consumer decisions Nintendo has made for their new console …
I think about lot of it had to do with the amount of piracy that is going on with the Switch. Its like they want the hackers to try and pull the ROMS from the system itself versus just dumping it from a physical media. It just sucks that it had come to this point. Nintendo will keep Nintendo-ing.
I have no idea what their motivations are, but nothing drives more people from legitimate purchases and towards piracy, than lack of ownership over your purchases, and chipping away at their consumer-rights and ease-of-use.
not for me, personally I'm not buying SF6 anyways. All First party titles are released with the games fully on the card. What 3rd party publishers decide to do is up to them. This still beats a code in a box any day. At least you can trade/sell the game when you are done.
Yes, we all know you are nintys number one cheerleader. Nothing , no matter how anti consumer they do can ever sway you away 😄
@chrisx - I love new tech, I will always get the next console from Nintendo and Sony. I even spent a crap ton on the 30th Pro.
my point is, what some 3rd party dev does with their games doesn't affect me. Especially if it's for some random game I wasn't planning on getting. Imagine saying you wouldn't get a console because some random 3rd party games aren't the full game on cartridge.
Modders are gonna hit the Switch 2 hard, and piracy is gonna be even higher on it than the first. That or 3rd party support will dry out sooner than later when enough people realize publishers don't wanna put in effort with physical releases on the system. People underestimate the casual consumer, when they feel screwed over they won't stick around like the fanboys. And with the astronomical prices of Switch 2 games I honestly can't see this succeed in the way Nintendo expects it to.
This Switch 2 stuff gets worse everyday. What other anti-consumer stuff are they hiding still?
Well if you want to use your switch 2 right out of the box you need to make sure you have a internet connection to get the day 1 patch.
1tb cards appear to be hitting the market now I'm going to hold off the internal storage should be sufficient for me personally for a few months most of my switch 1 games are physical
So popular, that STILL in Australia you can preorder both Switch bundles. They are not sold out here.
I'm not saying because it's like that here that it's the same in other places, but I am saying it's not the best sign. Hold your horses on saying how popular it is at this point.
Forget the PS5 and covid and what entailed there for sales. BUT think about the PS4, that sold out in minutes in Australia.
This Switch 2 is not that much different than the previous one, and it's friggin expensive to boot. I know Switch one sold so well, but the jury is out on this one until real sales numbers start coming in after launch. That's when we can judge how "popular" it is.
but ...
people are gonna have a rude awakening when they realise that they need micro express sd cards and others wont work for the switch 2 ha.
