I don't actually think that $90 for a game is ridiculous nowadays, if the game has tons of content.
But a company of Nintendo's size, with their sales volume, selling a game for $90 when it only has a few hours of content? Fuck off
They're like the exact opposite of the spectrum from Minecraft
-
Until March 31st, 2026, the GameChat system will be available for free for all Switch 2 owners
Is this so they can lock it behind the subscription after this? Along with all the other new features, not worth it for me. Getting the steam deck once I can't get anymore physical games on the switch 1.

What's the source for the $80 thing? If it's in the article I'm missing it.
-
Also it's a "preorder"
-
Can’t wait to never buy one. My switch has tears and BOTW on it, and those are the last games I’ll buy from Nintendo so..
-
Either that, or the powerful gaming PC you put the Switch 2 money towards that will eventually emulate the Switch 2. Seems like a better investment than buying a locked down console with a GPU less powerful than a RTX 3050 that can only play $80 games.
-
Holy fuck lol. I'll buy it used in a few years then. This'll motivate softmodders and emulation too.
-
When has Nintendo sued someone for using something wrong?
-
Why are you guys mad at Nintendo now?
-
Their penchant for lawsuits
-
Legion Go (Debian) for me
-
Same reason the ps3 fumbled the announcement and failed at launch. They got too greedy

Scroll down a good amount, 79.99$ MSRP for Mario kart world. Thats not a guarantee they'll all be 80$. The new donkey Kong is 70$. No official word on other games, though.
-
Nah the direct didn't claim 4k at 120.
You get 1080p at 120, or 4k at 60.
-
their legal action against emulators and DRM circumvention. they have the audacity of allowing people to play their games which were legally purchased on unapproved hardware.

"$450 is an insanely high price for a new console, so I'm going to buy a $400 2 year old console instead."
It's a 60Hz vs 120Hz screen, and it's got true 1080p resolution. It's certainly on-par with the Steam Deck in terms of performance and performance per dollar. The price isn't ridiculous by any stretch.

Nintendo US website. Mario Kart has an MSRP of $79.99. Donkey Kong has an MSRP of $69.99.

"$450 is an insanely high price for a new console, so I'm going to buy a $400 2 year old console instead."
Sure. But it's also a choice between a library that will forever cost $70 00-$90.00 per game, and a game library infamous for game sales so good that an average player cannot finish their library because the seasonal sales are too good to pass up.
