Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console

I need a fucking online subscription to buy a controller???
wrote 17 days ago last edited byA controller that is useful only when you have that online subscription to play the back catalogue, yes.

Initially. Still annoying but title is misleading.
wrote 17 days ago last edited byLol yeah. It makes sense. You don't want your peripheral for the console to sell out to buyers that just want to use it for emulation.

But you don't have the sub (cheap when sharing a family pack) so you can't play the N64 games anyway.

using last-gen hardware in their consoles
I mean there’s nothing inherently wrong with that (if only they charged last-gen prices as well lol)
but anyways here’s a bunch more shit they’ve done:
- killing emulation projects
- patenting basic gameplay elements
- sued a man so hard he was forced to pay them part of his income for the rest of his life
- charging full price for basic rereleases
and for a few older ones, just to show that they’ve been shitty this whole time, actually:
- attempting to kill game cheating devices (like the game genie)
- preventing 3rd parties from releasing games on competitor’s consoles, essentially giving themselves a monopoly
- attempting to kill video game rentals

In another bullshit move by Nintendo this time around.
wrote 16 days ago last edited byBullshit. They are doing that to cause a fever of pre-orders in the US despite the tariffs. Within a year, they will be on shelves.

wrote 16 days ago last edited byNintendo keeps shooting themselves in the foot. On one hand, as a PCMRer and massive fan of Valve, I'm glad to see how many are open to moving over here. On the other hand, Nintendo was the last console manufacturer I actually liked (despite their anti-emulation crusade) and so it's like a death of an era.
The future really is in console-like PCs a la the Steam Deck and Valve's upcoming Fremont.

Can you think of a better way to keep it mostly out of the hands of scalpers?
wrote 16 days ago last edited byPut the onus on the retailer to limit how many units a single customer can purchase. Why would Nintendo give a single fuck about scalpers, anyway?

Remember, Nintendo tried to sue a grocery store in Costa Rica. Maybe don’t support them.
Remember Nintendo… please feel free to list the hundred other crappy things they did here.

People are going to buy it anyway. There is no amount of abuse a Nintendo fanboy won’t endure.

wrote 16 days ago last edited byI have the version that was made for the OG Switch and the build quality is garbage tier. Developed stick drift in both sticks in less than a month.

Yeah, I saw that, but I read it as they were not doing them on the same date to do a wait-and-see with the Cheeto-faced shitgibbons tariffs.
