Doug Bowser confirmed variable pricing in an interview. Not every game will be $80
I can just play one of the many other very good jump'n'run games that do not cost that much money.
Unless a game is on a qualitative excellent level, as BotW and TotK were, I'm not paying 80 bucks for it.
TotK was not worth 80$.
Should’ve been an add on to BotW for 40$
Or if you never had either, both as a “complete edition” for 100$ is fine too.
Disagree. TotK was absolutely worth it's pricepoint. Not even going to argue about it, the game was phenomenal.
I have a solution, create a cheap knock-off & make it opensource. You guys can name the game-characters.
Yeah, no. It is not the only place to play Mario. There’s emulation and Piracy. I’m quite certain skilled people will try to hack the Switch 2 and sooner or later there will be a Switch 2 emulation (although might take a while). €80-90 euro for one single game is nuts.
The only reason I would purchase a Switch 2 is when it is capable of being hacked.
Don't forget the other obvious option: we don't have to play mario. Also, there's a used game market with a ton of older games and Nintendo doesn't get a cent from that anymore.
10 year old mario kart 8 is still like 70 bucks with the dlc. Why are people so shocked?
Or pirate it when the emulator inevitably happens
If I was a sociopathic ceo I would release an update for the Switch 1 that bricks it.
they kinda did this with SWSH when it first came out, all the old fans were pissed, but the constant promotions by influencers dint help.
I will buy a Switch 2 for however much it costs and when Nintendo first party titles start costing a whole week of work plus overtime I will still buy them. I will take out a mortgage for the eventual $49,999.99 console and $4,999.99 games. I will sell individual organs directly to Nintendo for whatever they want. I will singlehandedly commit genocide with my bare hands for Nintendo. I will gladly die for Nintendo. I live to serve my angel of salvation.
No offence to folks who like Mario games, but I don't personally feel good playing them. They have a working class protagonist who works to maintain monarchic status quo (fighting evil kingdom to defend another kingdom). Also the games encourage violence toward turtles. Not cool in my books.
Anyway, jokes aside, I'm not getting a Switch 2 anytime soon, will probably get a Steam Deck before that.
Interested too see how piracy works for the switch 2. I will not buy one, as much as I enjoy Nintendo's games I cannot stand their software experience (UI, shovelware) or their eco system...how many peripherals do you need!?
Everyone knows Mario is cool as f--k. But who knows what he's thinking? Who knows why he crushes turtles? And why do we think about him as fondly as we think of the mystical (nonexistent?) Dr Pepper? Perchance.
You can't just say "perchance."
But... it's not the only place to play mario....
