  Why would I spend that much for a system only to play the same games I’ve already played on five other fucking systems? If you look at all the games you can play on switch 2 right now nearly all of them are from previous generation consoles.

  And if that’s not bad enough, they charge full fucking price for the remakes too. You want to play a game that came out 15 years ago on the Wii? Well get ready to pay 60 fucking dollars for the privilege of paying for the same game for the third time.

  Oh but you wanted to play in 4K? Cough up another $10 or $20 for the switch 2 upgrade.

  Nintendo is smoking some serious fucking crack when it comes to the pricing of their shit.

  Fuck all that. Get a steam deck or similar machine that can also play PC games and can emulate anything from the switch one or Wii U.

  I recently almost purchased a switch 2, but after seeing the pricing structures and the lack of new original titles, I said no. I’m currently playing breath of the wild in the Cemu emulator at 4K with all the bells and whistles including surround sound using the gaming laptop that I purchased 2 years ago. Game plays flawlessly and fully supports my dual sense controller that I already own. Saved myself a ton of money.

  Holy shit! I take it these lawyers have never seen the Nintendo store. Talk about insane pricing. $60-$70 for a game that was remade from a previous generation console?

  $10-$20 for a Switch 2 upgrade to play the game made for the hardware that you purchased? At least Sony gives most of these upgrades for free.

  As bad as you might think Sony is, Nintendo is way worse.
