If you want to complain about other unrelated things, go ahead. But the price is pretty reasonable compared to everything else on the market.

But then they won’t tell you that switch 2 uses the same type of capacitive analog sticks cursed with stick drift instead up updating to Hall effect sticks. Or that you really really don’t own the games because the games are actually just download keys.

Existing switch owners can use any wireless controllers they already have with the switch 2. The pro controller 2 does have much nicer joysticks IMO, but you don't need one unless you really want the dedicated button for GameChat or the grip buttons

I mean, historically it seems pretty in-line with Nintendo releases, adjusted for inflation: NES: $582 SNES: $480 N64: $410 GCN: $362 Wii: $399 WiiU: $419 Switch 1: $396 Switch 2: $449
It’s only ~$50 more than the Switch 1, and they just raised the price of the Switch 1 by $50.

With each gen we got some advancements. Now they’re cutting corners for share holders

I mean, to pretend the Switch 2 is identical to the Switch 1 is pretty ridiculous.

I’m not implying there aren’t any improvements this time around I just feel like the improvements and corner cutting cancel each other out but that’s just my opinion

It’s the part where the Switch 1 hasn’t gone down in price that the article is talking about.
