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

Don't care. Still no.

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.
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?

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.
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.

"Well, you see, if we give away anything for free, it has to be your organs! Our law whor... I mean lawyers cannot afford to be some of the worst people on Earth unless we make things so expensive you have to sell all your organs on the black market!" ~ Them, probably

I read a preview of it that said it wasn't worth the money. Nintendo is getting greedy AF.

Nintendo is being exclusively run by suits now. The era of a game company built by gamers is over.
You're thinking iwata, but that was a brief blip on Nintendo history. The OG CEO was a straight up suit. The man had no interest in videogames, only business. Which is why they practically had a monopoly over their hardware in the 80s and 90s.

I feel like they're trolling us at this point. There's no way they're this stupid.

Exactly, the only real first party game was BOTW (and that also released on the Wii u).
There were some smaller games, like 12 switch/snipperclips/fast rmx, but the switch on release (and most of its life) was struggling for games.
