smeg, do games w First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80

Aren’t consoles and their new game always ridiculously expensive on launch? I know Nintendo stuff often doesn’t drop in price that much but I’d be surprised if they stay this expensive for long. Plenty of other games to play in the meantime!

Kelly,

These are the top 5 sellers on Switch:

These links take you to a price tracker with a chart showing historical prices. The RRP of each of these has been static, and discounts are short and infrequent.

In a break from form Nintendo hasn’t released a budget “Selects” label for older titles this generation.

smeg,

Fair point, but I still can’t imagine they’ll be double that price for long. The only GBP price I’ve seen for a Switch 2 game is the MKW bundle which is only £30 more than the console on its own.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

It will only stay as high as the market and customers allow it

If it sells out, expect a price drop in a few years

If it fails to meet Nintendo’s expectations (3DS at launch) expect a price drop a few weeks or months (3DS at launch)

Kelly,

If it sells out, expect a price drop in a few years

Switch sold out in 2017, and now the same basic Neon model is selling for the same price in 2025.

Maybe I should have been more specific…i meant mid to end of life. I totally figured forgot the switch lasted a fucking decade

I don’t see the point. How are you going to alt-tab back and forth between the game and Excel with a controller? Pfffft.

Edit: Do controllers even HAVE an autosum shortcut?

PC for the Game, Laptop for Satisfactory Modeller, tablet for wiki, and a paper notepad and pen for writing down numbers.

You’re telling me I can now comfortably play Satisfactory from my couch? This is going to have a profoundly negative effect on my health

Physical health or mental health?

Thassodar,

Yes

Life expectancy with FICSIT is projected to free fall.

MidsizedSedan,

This game made me late for work the first week I played it.

The only game I want to play is that new Donkey Kong game. Paying €520 for playing just one game is ridiculous. I’m gonna wait till Nintendo releases more games. I’m not gonna spend €450 for it to collect dust like my PS5.

I was REALLY looking forward to the 2 … this leaves such a sour aftertaste, it’s really unpleasant.

Always loved Nintendo, but this will be a hard pass from me.

like basically everything Coffee Stain puts out, it’s really well done, controller integration has been flawless so far, great game and a great team!

I was worried about this. The game has so many hotkeys, I have no idea how a controller would handle them. Lots of contextual button mappings.

TachyonTele,

It’s not a spaceship, it’s a videogame.

Evotech,

After I played FFXIV on controller, I no longer have this worry in general. (It has 64 or so hotbar spots) Toggled by holding down with L1/L2 or both, or in reverse and some other fun stuff.

It works flawlessly

Suck_on_my_Presence,

Honestly even in Kingdom Hearts 1, there was an L1 menu for spells behind the other menus.

As a FFXIV controller player as well, it’s really not that bad.

Stovetop,

As someone who played World of Warcraft for many years using only mouse and keyboard, before moving on to FFXIV…I have never played FFXIV on mouse and keyboard and don’t even know how I could at this point >!except for the few times I do the Air Force One GATE at the Gold Saucer because the aim speed on a controller is just way too slow!<

I’m still waiting for the stable release. Mostly because I’m not prepared to lose another 200-300 hours.

Evotech,

Stable? 1.0 already dropped

arudesalad,

Controller support is in the experimental 1.1 branch

About freaking time

@BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world avatar

That looks awesome. It would look a little out of place next to my other pinball machines, as they’re vintage. But I’d still love it. I don’t want to have to sell two watches to afford it, though. That’s pretty expensive.
