It's early and there aren't a lot of heavy hitters yet. But for me, Kirby Air Riders alone was well worth it, I waited 22 years for this sequel and it delivered.

eronth,

Man that game is tempting me to try to find a switch 2. I really want to play it but that’s such s hefty price.

I have one, I like it as a slightly better switch, but, yeah. There’s not a lot of reasons to get one for now.

Mario Kart World and Age of Imprisonment are disappointing, most of the other first party games are just upgrades of Switch games, including Prime 4 that’s… Meh.

Bananza was a lot of fun, but it’s not selling a whole console.

Ludicrous0251,

This is exactly the problem, weird policy quirks and better alternatives didn’t help the situation but quite frankly there’s no new content for the Switch 2, and the performance bump over the OG Switch is almost irrelevant because raw performance isn’t the reason people buy Nintendo systems & games.

FenderStratocaster,

I can’t justify spending $600 to get a slightly better Switch.

brsrklf,

Neither do I, but it was about 450 where I live.

I have a big switch library, and my OG switch is not in the best of shapes. Also, I honestly expected better from Mario Kart.

So yeah, as I said, I’m not exactly advising anyone to get one right now. I’m just saying, it’s more comfortable than the switch, it has one good exclusive game, and it runs some switch 1 games significantly better.

FenderStratocaster,

It IS $450 here for the console only. I was factoring in taxes, Nintendo Online, and a game or 2.

Tollana1234567,

its all those excess fees coming along with buying the switch, and the game, +online features.

Went on to that modder’s profile and I can only see comments on randomizer mods? How is that infringing lol. That’s a shame since I loved replaying the original Breath of the Wild with the Linkle mod that even changed dialogue.

The mods only work with ROMs, so the idea is to take down anything that might make people want ROMs to emulate. Whether they have a legal right to do so or not.

Fuck Nintendo

Personally, I prefer not to be Nintendo because of Nintendo’s behavior, but the price is why they still struggle to sell these.

They sold a ton right out of the gate. Everyone that really wanted one already got one. After that, they need parents and grandparents to get them for the kids and that isn’t going to happen as much.

Nintendo was basically a “toy”. You could, for the most part, safely buy a Nintendo console for your kids at a somewhat reasonable price. (I know the OG consoles were a bit pricey).

You could buy your kid a handheld console for ~$200 or less. The Switch 1 was $300, but you could still get your kid a Lite for $200.

Now, the only option is a $450 Switch 2.

rafoix,

Switch 2 desperately needs a TV-only version. I imagine the manufacturing cost would be drastically lower.

No dock, no joycons, no battery, no LCD.

Just a console, power supply, controller and HDMI cord.

RabbitMix, do games w Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period

I bought a Switch day 1, I bought a Switch Lite day 1, there are 2 other Switches in our family… there’s no way in hell I’m ever getting a Switch 2 or any other product Nintendo makes.

I doubt it’s a common cause, but my impetus for boycotting Nintendo was Garry’s Mod. They sent their lawyers after animators, who actually get people more interested in their games. Their litigious nonsense caught up with them that time.

I hope they struggle the company underground.

The unwashed console plebs can join the gamers with the Steam Machine/Deck and see what gaming is supposed to be like.

There’s still shitty stuff happening, but you’re a lot less beholden to specific companies over here.

rafoix,

you’re a lot less beholden to specific companies over here.

There’s only two CPU companies that often inflate their prices. There’s 3 but really only 2 GPU companies that also often inflate prices.

Let’s not talk about RAM.

Also, don’t forget the multiple price fixing lawsuits that got a lot of attention.

You might not like consoles but the PC world is more overpriced and just as predatory as the console market. It’s just businesses being greedy.

So should Nintendo.

DebatableRaccoon, do gaming w It's Official, Switch 2 Joy-Con Will Not Feature Hall Effect Sticks

What a surprise… 🙄 The only way Nintendo has worked hard to ‘mitigate the issue’ and still hasn’t landed on Hall Effect as the answer is if they’re purposefully keeping shit components but want them to be just good enough for them to not get sued.

I remember reading from someone working in the same building as them and saw them working as usual. It’s done when it’s done.

Crotaro, do gaming w TimeSplitters Dev Free Radical Has Shut Down As Staff Share "Last Day" Messages

This “Embracer” group surely seems to have a weird definition of what an embrace should be.

I would have loved to see a fresh TimeSplitters. TS2 was just the best multiplayer shooter on the PlayStation 2

Hawk,

They were working on TS4, right?

My brother and I played TS2 a ton on the GameCube, good memories

VivaLaSully,

That’s a big bummer, I remember hearing about them working on ts4 a couple of years ago. TS2 was awesome couch co-op, games had so much more content back in the day

Full price for a straight port of a 13 year old game? I could probably get a PS3 and a copy of the original game for that.

That sort of cash grab is to be expected of Rockstar

ombremad,

I got a copy of the Xbox 360 GOTY version on a yard sale for €10. It includes Undead Nightmare and works on my Series X in 4K. I mean… why even bother with this new version
