It should be free

I think this money grab wouldn't have gotten as much run in the media if it hadn't been front and center in the Direct. Feels like a misstep, but then, so does €90 Mario Kart...

Makes sense, but if it's only $10 it should just be free. Not worth the bad PR and they should want this game in as many hands as possible.

This is one of the dumber decisions Nintendo has made, and they put out the Wii U.

So it's a $10 tutorial? Don't care how expansive and cool it is, that's just fucked. The project scope should've been adjusted to make sure it would be free.

May I introduce you to their last launch day tech demo..... 1-2 Switch?
Yeah. You forgot about $60 launch day tech demo 1-2 Switch, didn't you?

Nintendo is being exclusively run by suits now. The era of a game company built by gamers is over.

The only reason they sold any was because the console released with like one game, which seems to be the same strategy this time around too.

For 10 bucks, it better have a button combination that unlocks Mario Paint 2.
I haven't seen a damn thing in the marketing that justifies it being anything other than free. If it's worth 10 bucks, you better show that shit off. The audacity to call it "welcome tour" with a $10 price tag is wild

I remember buying breath of the wild, and sniperclips on day 1.

And rightfully so...

Nothing says welcome to the new Nintendo console like learning to open that wallet.

Yeah, they do spend a lot of fucking money and put up with a lot that a rational person really wouldn’t stand for

Damn, Nintendo is such a crap company... What the heck is wrong with them?

Exactly! What sort of logic are they even trying to apply there? Basically "We put a lot of time into our tech demo and it came out better than expected, so we're going to charge for it"
The whole principle is that the intro experience is supposed to be free. It exists to get people pumped about the cool new thing they just bought and excited to play with it.
I guess Nintendo decided that - since you already bought the console - they don't especially care if you are pumped or not. They already got your money.
