Imho the price is justified. By raw numbers it’s a beefier steam deck for + $30.

Oh, and you get a dock that increases its power.

piyuv,

By raw numbers I have around 500 games on steam and there’s a huge sale every 3-4 months. Deck is also a pretty capable computer and runs Linux. Deck can run games from many platforms, not just steam.

It would be nice when the switch 1 would grt cheaper though. Its ridiculous how expensive it still is.

zaphodb2002, do games w EXCLUSIVE - Ubisoft is Developing a Turn-Based Tactics Game Set in The Rainbow 6 Universe

Isn’t the “Rainbow Six Universe” just, like, the regular world? I haven’t played an R6 game in more than a decade, but I remember the draw being realism.

leftytighty,

Fact: most fictional media takes place on earth. They clearly mean the lore will be shared.

ObtuseDoorFrame, do games w EXCLUSIVE - Ubisoft is Developing a Turn-Based Tactics Game Set in The Rainbow 6 Universe

I knew that the success of BG3 would have an impact on the industry, it was only a matter of time. This sounds fun.

brsrklf,

BG3? Not sure I am seeing the influence here.

If anything Firaxis’s take on XCOM has made turn based tactics somewhat mainstream again, and Ubisoft has already tried to surf on this trend once with Mario+Rabbids.

ObtuseDoorFrame,

I don’t think there’s been a turn based game that has sold as well as BG3 in a long time. They’re just chasing trends. Something like XCOM is a better comparison in terms of gameplay and style, but doesn’t have the sales that BG3 has.

Don’t bemoan this just yet. Ubisoft’s name on the game is a red flag as always, but they made a pretty sick turn-based tactics game in the Ghost Recon universe on the 3DS, from designer Julian Gollup, formerly of original XCOM fame, now working on a game called Chip 'n Clawz vs. the Brainioids.

Besides, I don’t want a single player Rainbow Six. I want a Rainbow Six that’s either single player or co-op, with a proper planning phase. I’m about halfway there with the Door Kickers games.

Fuck Nintendo!

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Agreed, but it is pretty important news for our hobby, and third party titles are tied up in its marketing campaign.

Also you can hate Nintendo while still enjoying some of their exclusive games like Zelda and Mario.

You can, but I sure won’t.

More Korok seeds for me! 🤷

jaaake,

Why?

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

They actively harm the emulation scene, despite themselves being responsible for making it necessary. They don’t want to make their old games available for sale where those potential customers are; they want you to buy their hardware and rent those old games from them in perpetuity. We’re also now at a point, at least temporarily, where their latest games often play better if you emulate them than play them in the only way Nintendo makes them available legally, so buying games and playing them “the right way” is worse. Then there’s the whole thing where they actively stand in the way of competitive Super Smash Bros.

jaaake,

This is all the same point.

I agree with you, but they also continue to release more interesting and innovative games than most every other first party studio.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Except for Smash Bros., yes, but they created a really shitty vicious cycle. I don’t care if it’s first or third party; I’m not giving Nintendo any more of my money.

BreakerSwitch,

Then maybe it’s worth bringing up their recent behavior as a patent troll. Regardless of what you think of palworld, nintendo is suing them based on patents that were filed AFTER palworld was announced, or even released in some cases, and has gone on to follow the patent troll playbook beat for beat. Recently they’ve started putting in more baffling patents as ammo against companies seen as threats, such as patenting squeenix’s “HD2D” art style, or, in an extreme, but recent example, patenting “a character standing on top of a vehicle and moving with that vehicle”

Wake me up when the pricing comes out.

Set your alarm for April 2nd.

simple,

I’m betting on $400, quote me on this

ieatpwns,

$399.99

falidorn,

$500 more likely due to tariffs. Maybe $450.

NotSteve_,

Maybe electronics will finally be cheaper in Canada compared to the US :D

PacMan,

Oooof! lol

And you might be right actually. It’s a weird timeline we live in

Stovetop,

This is also my guess. Nintendo knows the demand, they’ll do $499.99 for the launch model and release a cheaper “lite” version like the original Switch in 2 years at $350 or $400 or something.

Hyphlosion,

Are they saying third-parties don't even have devkits yet? That's a bizarre way to do a launch plan.

Gerudo,

Maybe they are doing it due to how similar gen1 and 2 are to develop on. Gen2 just gets faster processing power. Maybe Nintendo told the devs target 30 fps on gen1 and we will almost guarantee 60 on gen 2. Or something to that effect.

The console will be out of stock for at least 6 months anyway.

SomethingBurger,

This claim is dubious. Several publishers have already announced Switch 2 games.
