    I love having my decision not to buy a Nintendo Switch and stick to PC games validated.

    Feel bad for all the Nintendo fans though, I get how you can fall in love with a franchise they make and want their stuff only to have "except it costs a ton" stuck on, so you'll have to skip for financial reasons and feel unhappy. It's a lot harder to abstain from something you actually care about and want, than something you are maybe mildly interested in.

      This is an unpopular opinion, but y'all are forgetting about inflation. $60 in 2017 is $78 in 2025. $300 in 2017 is $390 today.

      My ex always mocked me for the prices of Nintendo switch games. She even got me into playing games on my PC. But except for trackmania, I always gravitate back to the Switch. And I'm definitely in a priveleged place so take this with a grain of salt, but I'm buying the Switch 2 pretty much no matter what. To me it's worth the cost.

        Its cool, your choice, you spend your money as you see fit.

        I personally would never spend 60 usd on a game in 2017 and will never spend 80 usd in 2025. Its just too much.

          I see. I am surprised they didn't simply take existing open source code and go with that.

          They likely want to avoid legitimising those existing emulators.

            Yes, inflation happened, and purchasing power has not grown or stayed the same with it. People can't afford as much, so rising prices on entertainment are going to sting even more.

              Tell that to the people making the same amount of money in 2025 that they were in 2017.

                Can't wait to wait 2 years and then pirate it.

                But besides that; are there any good PC kart racers?

                (Emphasis on "good", because I already know about Super Tux Kart, used to play it a lot more than 10 years ago, but today it feels very... Clunky and dated).

                  I wonder if there would be communities, focused on playing these xbox360 era games on pc - after this

                  Anyone got links further educational reading on this matter?

                    General inflation doesn't quite translate directly in all cases and is just a reference. In video games, costs have increased, but revenues have increased primarily through micro transactions and a growing market/sales. There's virtually no marginal cost to produce additional units with software, so the revenues become a balance of price, demand, and supply (for hardware). They are expecting that the price increase won't result in a significant drop in demand so that revenue increases. If they're wrong, this will be a huge business mistake. If enough people purchase anyway, like you, then they'll increase revenues and this will be considered a great business decision

                      Also, even disregarding the inflation argument, video gaming is still one of the cheapest per hour hobbies.

                        Am I the only one who doesn't care about this? We'll wait for the 33% nintendo sales and fill the rest of the year with 3rd party 80% sales like always

                          I hear very good things about Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed, and there's a new one coming.

                                Honestly, I won't bother. I only tried a few Switch games on emulator out of curiosity, and never played long. They don't make anything interesting enough for me to want. I don't get why people feel the need for Nintendo.

                                  It's most difficult for me since I want to play metroid prime 4, especially after hearing the music. But I don't want to pay 90 euro for base game. That's incredibly ridiculous

                                    I look forward to playing these for free in a year or two when an emulator that works on the Steam Deck is released.

                                      4 real when Zelda was released on the switch is ran at like 1080p 30 fps. The emulator version was 4k @ 60 fps…

                                        The reason the switch 1 was emulated so fast was a hardware vulnerability on nvidia's part. Presumably we won't see that again.

                                        Also: While switch games DO run better on a steam deck, they don't run great. And I think estimates put the switch 2 at closer to a PS4 than PS3 in terms of power? But even PS3/360 games don't run gerat on a Steam Deck.

                                        Not to mention nintendo's lawyers putting the fear of mario into the emulation community.

                                        So in a few years? I could see MAYBE some proof of concepts. But I doubt we'll actually be able to properly emulate switch 2 games until at least 2030.

                                          It's most difficult for me since I want to play metroid prime 4, especially after hearing the music. But I don't want to pay 90 euro for base game. That's incredibly ridiculous

                                          I'm just going to get the Switch version and be perfectly happy with the visuals being slightly less good and using gyro joycon aim over joycon mouse.
