    The pricing of this is really going to fuck them.

    BotW should be like $10 by now. The fucking DLC for it still costs twice that.

      Switch 2 is going to be a repeat of the Wii U disaster.

        I wish it wasn’t true, because the wii u had some great games and ideas, and the switch 2 definitely will as well.

        But yeah, a HUGE portion of Nintendo’s sales come from being the budget, kid friendly option. When a parent sees a ps5, xbox and switch 2 all lined up for roughly the same price, Nintendo isn’t going to be the default choice it once was.

        And it kinda sucks because all people do is hate on the switch for its lower performance. The only way to get better performance is to put more expensive parts in leading to a higher price. They can’t win in some ways.

            Yeah but then you have to muck around with emulation.

              I mean you could always pirate on device, though easier said than done on Switch (but the Wii U is rather easy to mod, would 100% recommend)

                Modding an unpatched V1 Switch is pretty easy, the most difficult part is there’s like 2 main guides and if you try to get support from one group and they get clue that you’ve looked at/used the other guide they’ll say your config is trash and a ban risk lol
