Well, I’m happy I was never the biggest Nintendo fan, cause with how much they’re trying to charge for the new Switch 2, and its games, they’re getting kind of out of…POCKET?!
That’s right, the Switch 2 cost $450 for just the system. And if you want a game with that, it’s going to cost you a hefty $80, and physical copies will cost you an extra $10, making physical copies $90. Like, when I was buying games for $60 and they just randomly started being $70, I was annoyed by that price increase. But, without giving us time to breathe, Nintendo thought to themselves, hey, let’s just up our games to $80 and $90. Like…WHAT THE FUCK!!!
And I’ll be honest, Nintendo games aren’t THAT good. I’m not going to spend $80 on the new Mario Kart, or fucking Donkey Kong. Hell, I would have to buy that $450 paper weight first, before I could even play one of its expensive games.
But, I don't want to roast the console completely. They do have a cool feature where you can have a game, and if your friend doesn’t have it, you can still play multiplayer with them. So if my homie has Mario Party, I can just not buy it, and enjoy the multiplayer side of it cause let’s be honest, who plays the Mario Party single player?
But at this point, the Switch 2 is looking like a no buy for me. The only Nintendo game I care about is Fire Emblem and maybe Smash Bros, but I don’t think just those two games justify me spending on a $450 brick, and then spending an extra $160 for two games. And I’m really praying other companies don’t start trying to adopt this $80-$90 price raise. We’ll see how this gamble actually works out for them, maybe they’ll get a lot of sales from the desperate Bloodborne fans needing to buy it to play the fake Bloodborne game The Duskbloods.
What do you think about the Switch 2? What do you think of the $80 - $90 price raise? Are you getting a Switch 2? Tell us in the comments.
Inflation hits hard. Voting for Republicans has consequences.
And with inflation that would mean they were hella expensive.
Edit: I moved the upper limit to hours based on estiimates for retro games. Idk how long the battery lasts on standby.
