Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour ‘Overview’ trailer

Absolutely wild that this is not included with the console. Especially after Sony included Astro's Playroom on every PS5.
Yeah, appears to be a really stupid decision.

It's not surprising given that they did the same with 1-2 Switch; the Switch's tech demo game they sold for sixty fucking dollars.

Reggie is the only reason Wii sports was included and he's long gone

They had a pack-in game for every console until the Switch.

Did they? I'm struggling to think what other generations had other than the Wii.
I know for Wii U at least, their demo game was "Nintendo Land" and you had to pay for that one too.

Yeah, he apparently had to fight for it. Nintendo's stance was we don't give away anything for free. Fortunately he was able to convince them. But now he is gone, and I don't think Nintendo of America has any say for anything anymore.

Shit, the SNES had certain sets that came with the arcade controller or the mouse (and the mouse one came with Mario Paint).

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I think we may be thinking of different concepts. I was thinking this conversation was more about having a game that's free with all console purchases, such as Astro's Playroom for the PS5 and Wii Sports for the majority of the Wii's life, which is a bit different from a console/game bundle.
That page may need updating too, because Nintendo still does game bundles. They did several for the Switch, like this Smash Bros edition one a friend of mine got which came with the game, or the Mario Kart bundle they're making available at launch for the Switch 2. But these are basically limited run specials, and usually you're still paying some certain amount extra for the game versus a standalone console purchase.

No. The difference is that these are bundles with a game (or more) at a reduced price, and you were able to buy a console sans any games.Look at your source again -- the bundles have names such as Deluxe and Premium. In the case of GC, none of the games on the list were out at the point of the console's release.
