Also did they mention how much the “upgrades” will be?
My understanding is it's $10 for upgrades that just run better with no new content, and $20 for ones that also have new content of come sort.
From what i am reading only mario party jamboree and kirby upgrades will cost money, the zelda ones are free if you pay for switch online and metroid and pokemon dont appear to have any proce attached to their upgrades.
The running theory is thst most games wont cost to upgrade unless they offer expanded content. But expansions costing money is nothing new.

For $50 less, you get a similarly capable machine in terms of specs but more comfortable to hold, with an immensely larger library, and an operating system far more respectful of your authority to do what you want with the machine you bought.
And you can play online for free.

I think I'm going to hack my switch 1 now, and put some custom mario kart tracks on it
I thought the same thing

if you pay for switch online
The more expensive Switch Online Expansion Pass, specifically. That's a big if.

That asshole company nobody cares about?
I love Nintendo games and loathe their business practices.

Whose boot am I licking?
Nintendos but you're too bent over to see.

It's 70 and 80 tho?
And as an old, even with this price increase games are cheap, especially with how much time you get out of them.
I remember when Mario 3 was 50$ in 1990.
That's a 120$ today I think.
Mario 3 was way easier to make.
What a shit excuse of an argument.
Nintendo has BILLIONS all these corpos have billions they can keep the $60 price tag.
But they don't cause they want MORE while still paying workers shit.
Maybe YOUR paycheck has keep up with inflation but mine and millions of others sure as fuck hasn't.
Either way shits getting modded so I'll play for free. The switch 1 is the final console for me.
-
That asshole company everyone* cares about. My hatred of Nintendo runs deep. But I still watched the direct. I'm so excited for the innovative new features, and the new Mario Kart looks sick. I am disgusted that they will use the money to go after fans. I need help
Yup, new lawsuits, good hackers in jail just for helping retards like me to play a game when we feel like it...me, once a year maybe? Why would I buy a console if I only play once a year?
-
At least this game may be worth it if it's $/h.
Nintendos game might be <40hours long of pure campaign (excluding open world games like pokemon)That's encouraging prices to sky rocket.
Holy shit yall truly boot lick so hard.
10000% GTA6 will be $100 if Rockstar reads any of these posts.
Setting a bad precedent.
-
Imagine booting steam os on this thing.
Probably not gonna happen since steam os isn't built for arm systems

Brought to you by the losers of the lawsuits... Losers like you and me.

Really confused by this. I said Nintendo can fuck off.

That's $4.17 a month. It's even cheaper if you get a family account and share with your family and / or friends like i do. (I am actually UK, but it seems the US price is the most quoted.) And comes with all the n64 (and the new gamecube) games. Its the cheapest online service of the three main consoles.
Also, to be clear. Im not a big switch guy, and i think nintendo are a greedy company. I mostly play playstation these days but my switch is handy and there are some amazing first party games.

...on top of all the other "It's only $X!" subscription services out there. If it's the ONLY subscription you have, sure, that's not bad, but how common is that?
-
The Steam Deck is... not significantly cheaper?
Maybe, but I already have a large game library and free online play, and can get new games for much cheaper.

The GPU has less than 10% the CUDA cores of a 4090, a GPU that can't hit 120 FPS in most modern games @4K without DLSS. No way in hell will the Switch 2 hit 120 FPS @1080p, not without some extreme DLSS upscaling and some serious graphical compromises... Proper RT is completely out of the question.
This thing won't even be able to keep up with the PS5, a 5 year old console. It will compete with the Steam Deck, however.
That said, I miss the days when Nintendo cared about graphics. But at this point it's been over 25 years since those days. That's almost as long as it's been since I last enjoyed a Mario or Zelda game. Between all this and the fact that they sue their fans, I am so done with Nintendo. I feel like I've outgrown them anyway.

Yes but just imagine

Man I've just forgotten about Nintendo at this point. Microsoft and Sony get that exclusives aren't working when people don't have enough money to buy every system anymore. I see Nintendo as a niche console with a handful of games. There's just not enough to justify buying one, and I grew up on Zelda and Metroid. I love them, but it's not worth buying another console for a few high priced games with questionable performance.
-
Guessing there's a lot of DLSS going into those resolution and framerate specs...
Judging by the bit of Prime 4 they showed, I think their first party titles will just skip ray tracing and use relatively low-poly models.

4k? My 3070 can't even get close to 60fps 4k on most games
