First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80

Well, then I look forward to playing games for this retro console for free in six years when an emulator drops for the Steam Deck 2.
-
super tux cart on linux is free and open source
-
Some of us will probably even get to play it early judging by the past several first-party Nintendo games.
-
No Zelda or Mario will hurt. But Nintendo's decided I'm just too poor to be worthy of playing their games any more.
-
Hah. Oh hey... Look, it's in 4K after all!
-
And 60fps! Well, not for me, I'll be playing on original Switch hardware.
-
Canadian here: What's the difference? /s
-
SteamDeck it is.
-
There's a hundred different versions that you can play already with emulators and on an old switch. Wait till the new one is emulated
-
I’m the dude in that meme looking at the other girl, and she is my icon collections in Steam, GOG, even Epic, etc. Icons with native Linux versions get slight preference.
-
You probably want a dedicated game, but I have a lot of fun with Dragon Kart in Yakuza: Like a Dragon.

There are also resources on emulation. Generally speaking, if it's about console hacking, rom hacking, custom roms, homebrew, and general technical stuff, GBATemp is the place for it.
A lot of people that develop CFWs, emulators, or homebrew hang out on that forum.
However, be advised; the only reason why that forum is even alive after all these decades is because they're not allowed to directly link to pirated software.

Hmm... I've heard a few things about Sonic All-Stars too. Guess I should give it a shot.
Would be cool if Crash Nitro Kart isn't still a PlayStation exclusive...

Yeah, I have rejected increased cost games for this very reason. But Nintendo is one of the few companies I believe would do it to cover their costs instead of just preying upon general apathy towards inflation since covid to jack up profit. They are too rich for my blood at the time, but if I had the income to splurge this would be one of a vanishingly small number of places I would be willing to put up with it.
-
Or get it second hand for cheap lol, it's not a big deal to me at least.

After coming off the incredibly successful Switch generation and Mario Kart 8 being essentially a decade old game that's sold over 70 million copies, I just don't believe that this is a decision driven by absolute necessity. I'd have begrudgingly accepted the standard PS5 prices of $70 games and $10 upgrades which I already thought were usually overpriced, but raising another $10 seems ridiculous. I'm thinking I'll pass at least for a few years
