    Well, one game is. They haven’t dared price another base game at $80 sing Mario Kart World…yet.

  It’s been the budget option anyway in value, if not price.

    It won’t be until it gets hacked. PC handhelds still have the benefit of being an open system, especially if you install Linux on them.

    And Valve has significantly more consumer friendly support than Nintendo, to the point of being tinker support.

      My point it that it was the low end of value. Nintendo is literally scraping the bottom of the barrel IMO.

      If you’re not too worried about getting a Switch 2, you could get a new or mint Switch OLED, hack that, overclock it and load up a shit ton of emulators on it.

        I bought a refurbished Steam Deck waaay back before prices got ballistic. Can emulate the Switch 1 quite fine.

        Also got a Switch 2 with Mario Kart World for 99 DKK (15 USD) last year (funny story about the price), but hardly use it.

    If Nintendo didn’t have so many good exclusives, it doesn’t make that much sense to get ya.
