I love how the price goes up every time someone complains.

I bought the first switch thinking I'd play it way more. But those prices that basically never go down, and paying way more for games than I could get them on steam.
Nah. I have a deck and it feels better in my hands, looks better, and I don't get charged out the ass for games that have been out for near a decade.

I would just like to remind everyone that Nintendo was predatory when EA and Activision were the good(ish) guys.
Dont at me.
I think the last Nintendo game I payed for was animal crossing new horizons. Yea, I'll be alright with my back catalog and the occasional indie game that costs less than 20$. All I wanted was another punch-out but I played the "Big Boy Boxing" demo and it was pretty fun, so I will not be buying a switch 2 any time soon if at all.
Nintendo isn't getting another penny from me after what they did to the switch emulation projects.
You can still emulate everything. Newest version will work just fine for the indefinite future

... what they "momentarily" did to "that" em project, you mean.
Hell, at least I can use my steam deck as a mini PC and SSH into the thing, as well as use a mouse and full fuckin keyboard with my cheap off brand dock.
Guess I'm waiting till an emulator comes out. which sadly won't be for a while since ryujinx was killed.
Nuck Findendo. They’re assholes who kick the ladder out from underneath them
You are allowed to swear here. No need to self-censor.
assholes
I think they know that.

I'm always 2-3 years behind on new consoles for this very reason.
The nintendo switch, released 8 years ago now, was the first console to never have a price drop. PS5 and XBOX series did not need to be convinced to join that particular trend
It had one on the secondary market. 🤟
You say that like Nintendo ever puts their games on sale
Used physical copies are usually cheap.
I've never found any. They're always similar in price to digital. Which is better than digital, imo, but still. The used market charges a lot because it can.
I do the same, but not because of sales, but because it takes 2-3 years for the high seas to swell with jolly rogers.

Even the 729$ Legion Go looks like a good deal compared to the Switch 2.
