Are these prices making you cancel your purchases? - Nintendo Switch 2 Forum

Is anyone else fed up? I watched the direct today and was excited. I planned on buying Prime, Fever. The DK DLC, Fire Emblem, RE 8, RE 9, Galaxy 2, and maybe the Pokemon games, the FF 7 remake, and I was even thinking the Dragon Quest Games and Stardew as I hadnot bought it. Then I looked up prices and started realizing that this was way out of my price range. I was thinking to myself, half of those games are old so it wouldn't be that expensive and then almost every single game was 10-40 dollars more than I expected. The DLC was something I thought would be 5 bucks and it is 20. The Pokemon DLC is 30!!! Honestly I didn't buy Galaxy 2 back on the Wii because I was poor and had to pass, it was a 50 dollar game so I assumed that it would be 40 dollars for the two games, but it's 35 per game in the bundle. 40 for Galaxy 2 alone. FF7 is a key card so that's out. I watched that direct and said I think there's 8-10 purchases there and after the sticker shock I think I am getting Prime 4 and Fire Emblem if it's like 3 Houses, and just waiting until RE 9 is cheap on PC. I got RE7 for 20 bucks, so maybe Nintendo just talked themselves out of me as a customer. Don't get me started on the Virtual Boy. 100 bucks might make sense if it was a quality headset that you used like the Oculus by sliding the switch 2 in, provided every VB game was on a physical cartridge for game preservation. But 100 bucks for the same awful design from 1995 and you still have to pay a premium subscription to play the games. This might be the worst move Nintendo has ever made Is anyone else feeling the same way? I was so excited after Cyberpunk, thinking I was going to be using mouse mode to play games on my huge TV from here on our, but the PC is just so much cheaper for games. 65 minutes and after all that I might buy 1 or 2 games because there is no value anymore. Could we at least get sales? Sorry I don't have more money, but horrible corporations ruined the economy out of greed, and now apparently you're one of those companies. I bought over 600 games from them and every system including the Virtual Boy. But now I seriously am wondering if my Switch 2 is going to continue to be a Balatro machine due to cost. I am already eating just rice Nintendo and polycrisis is just starting. I didn't even bring up my electric bill... I hate the future.

Most games for quite awhile have had a patch of some sort, so you need to make sure you tell your Switch to not download the patch when you first boot up the game if you want to play only what is on the cartridge. If you download any kind of patch, then from that point on your Switch will remember what version of the game you had and won't let you go back to just the cartridge version without a factory reset. It's annoying.

The Switch 2 Edition games, if you buy the red cartridge, do have all of them data on them (original game and Switch 2 enhancements): the Zeldas, Kirby, Mario Party, soon Mario Wonder, etc.

I also have MK World, DK, and Cyberpunk for the full physicals, and I'm not buying any game key cards. Other Switch 2 games that are full physical and you might want to try are Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma (AWESOME game) and the newest Harvest Moon. Yooka Replayee is coming out soon, and that's full physical, as well.
