I hope at the very least it forces them to drop it's price
-
Where did you get $150 AUD from?
-
I don't think we know the specs yet, it might be way more powerful than the Steam Deck. I agree though that the Steam Deck is a better value considering the amount of games and their prices.
-
Digital Foundry has been looking at what tech could feasibly be in this thing for a long time now. They're going to be very comparable in performance.
-
Thats quite reasonable tbh thanks for answering!
-
Gotta just be for video playback not games right??
Or maybe 30fps max?

Nintendo is one of the last game companies that actually release a finished product that’s not filled with micro transactions and your mad that they add an extra $20 to the price of something you will likely put hundreds of hours in as prices of everything have increased. Would you rather they release it for $60 but you have to pay an extra $5 for each character/vehicle/map like all the American companies are doing it
-
It doesn’t matter if it’s data, tariffs are meant to be protectionist so you could easily say that since Nintendo is headquartered in Japan or because the majority of their workers are in Japan or because their name sounds vaguely Japanese that all sales of their product in insert country here has to pay an additional 10% tax
-
person just unironically said they pay nintendo 5 bucks a month for the privilege to play a curated list of 40 year old games you can quite literally find anywhere online. That's 60$ a year to access an emulator they probably have less than 10 hours of playtime on. There's just really no justification for Nintendo anymore, BOTW broke me and I had to be talked into it.

cough amiibo cough
seriously though, Nintendo knows what they're doing with their new limited scarcity tactics with trying to stay relevant. I think you'll be able to find physical SNES games easier than switch 2 games in 30 years.
-
And yet switch 2 can on 10 year old phone hardware.
-
Hello, is this your first time finding out consoles blatantly lie about 4k since console gamers have no understanding how 4k is impossible to run with the best hardware.
-
The Switch has sold more than the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S combined. Very "niche"
-
Cool. And Sony can sell to PS and PC, same with Xbox. They have two markets, one that they don't have to support with hardware. They can also make games that look nice and run nice because they have much better hardware.

Ok. Let's not misrepresent what i said.
Firstly, you dont round up 4.17 to 5.
Second. I said i am in the UK, so i dont bay any dollars a month.
Third, I pay for 1 quarter of £5 a month, which is the monthly cost of a family account. Which i said i have. So it's actually £1.25 ($1.64) a month.
Forth, The games that come with the expansio are not 40 years old.the expansion gives you the n64, gameboy advance and genesis games, which are 28, 23 and 35 years old respectively.
Fifth, as well that i get 48 mario kart maps, as well ss some other games. On top of the online play which you get in the standard pack, and some other bits.
Sixth, i have played and completed mario 64 and bajo kazooie on the n64 emulator. I have introduced my son to mario kart 64 as well. I also am slowly working my way through jet force gemini. I have complete goldeneye played multiplayer with my brothers here and there and am working through perfect dark. On the GBA emulator i am playing golden sun. 10 hours is a severe underestimate for all that and more.
Finally. If you are salty about BOTW, then thats your problem. But dont go around lying about what i said to make yourself feel better.

Good lord, you're actually gonna come down and try to defend your actions like some kind of corporate propagandist. Fucking sad really how you've got it all twisted. SOMEONE IS PAYING FOR THE SERVICE! I don't care how many people are listed and aren't using it, YOU'RE STILL PAYING FOR A YEARLY SUBSCRIPTION FOR A FUCKING ONLINE EMULATOR. Where the fuck was a lie made? Care to misrepresent some more shit?
It's 4.17 not 5? I should take that as my first clue you're not serious. People round up to 5 for meals all the time, this is such a strange thing to start on.
Nintendo confirms Switch Online retro game removal in US and Europe
Responding to the news on X, former PlatinumGames co-founder and current Clovers Studio founder Hideki Kamiya – who regularly posts about his love of classic games – criticised the move, asking for the return of the Virtual Console service, which was available on Wii, Wii U and 3DS and allowed individual games to be bought.
“Hey hey hey, I guess subscriptions are no good after all,” Kamiya wrote. “Seriously, bring back the Virtual Console… don’t be so mean.”
It should also be noted that numerous retro games were delisted from Virtual Console over the years too, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Yoshi’s Cookie, Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure, Aleste, SimCity, Street Fighter II, Final Fight 1-3, Super Turrican 2 and Super R-Type.
for 1-6, you're paying a rental subscription service to play an emulator... just type emulator into a search engine, go to one of the hundreds of sites. Hell, go to archive.org and get the official nintendo online emulator pack.
Here's your mariokart, here's your banjo.
Guess what?!?! I'm not gonna charge you a fucking penny and I'm not gonna log onto your device and remove your data!! You're welcome!!
(don't know what the fuck you're talking about BOTW for, it was an example that nintendo is making shittier products and can't be relied upon anymore if their flagship game can't even run properly on the console, keep making an ass of yourself though)
-
4.17 is closer to 4 not 5. I dont care if you spend more on meals than you owe because you dont see that. I was only pointing out that you rounded up the cost to emphasise a point that is invalid because i am not even paying 4.17, let alone 5 a month. Ao yeah i am gonna defend myself when, like i saod, i am actually paying 1.25 (or 5 by your logic. Or would it be 0 because 1.25 rounds down to 1 in your world)
The lie you made is the price i am paying, what you get for the monthly cost. Again, you dont round down online access, multiple game expansions and a list of old games to just some old emulators.
You are purposfully ignoring features and increasing the price to make it seem like you are more rightm its dishonest and childish.
I have used emulators since the no$cash game boy emulator. For the most part they are good. But they dont play all games perfectly. Like banjo is full of glitches and crashes when emulated. Same for mario 64. Same for goldeneye. So not only are you underselling the nintendo switch emulator, you are overselling emulators like dolphin etc.
I appreciate the convenience of taking the emulated games away from the desktop due to the switches portability and if its costing me less than the proce of a cup of coffee per month then i would happily pay for the convenience. Its like netflix when iflt first came along. It beat piracy because it was cheap and convenient. Now that its so expensive the piracy starts again.
Did you just link to an article to show that they are removing games which actually just shows they removed 1 game. Since they added the service in 2018.
Seriously. I dont think nintendo are a good company, we all know how greedy they are and how aggressive they are with lawsuits etc. But you are purposfully exaggerating to drive home a point that just inst true.
I mentioned BOTW because you did. I was responding to you.
Wtf? Are youbfor real?

What exactly do you consider high priced? $60 for a game that you end up playing for 10 hours is only $6 an hour. Compared to the price of a movie ticket, that's pretty cheap entertainment.
