This game is a perfect example of fanboys being bias. This is an average game that doesn't deserve all of the accolades it received at launch in my opinion.

Final Fantasy IX. It's been sitting in my backlog for a long time and I started it a week ago. I'm really enjoying my time with it so far. The characters, story, and battle system are all top notch in my opinion. I absolutely adore ViVi too.π₯°
@deezcronuts First time here?π€π Some people swear by all that is Nintendo and will defend them relentlessly. What I find interesting is how many people bashed Sony for paid upgrades but are okay when Nintendo does it. Hypocrisy is something else
@UltimateOtaku91 I agree. Nintendo is charging people to use the power of their new console and some are okay with it.ππ₯΄ And before I'm attacked by others I don't think any company should charge for a visual and frame rate bump. It's not like they are rebuilding the entire game from scratch.
I really don't know how some people can keep defending Nintendo this generation. Game key cards, high game prices, minimal upgrades that cost money, etc... I guess being a fanboy of a corporation trumps common sense. And it's not "cheeky" but downright pathetic and greedy for them to charge for something they could've released for free during the Switch era. Nintendo is milking things as much as possible
Too many companies have invested billions already into AI to give up on it. They are trying to shove it into every aspect of our lives so that it's as ubiquitous as cellphones, tv, etc... All in the name of "convenience" which means more control over the population. They want it so entrenched in society that it'll be almost impossible to get rid of
@Solid_Python How about stop being a defensive fanboy? It's obvious you're going to defend this company no matter what. Twist the facts however you want but the truth is the truth. It's not selling as much as Nintendo wants, period. I'm wasting my time even engaging with someone like you.
@shoeses Their comment was pretty ridiculous.ππ I guess they think console sales have nothing to do with stock prices sliding? I don't know how anyone can try and separate the two.
@Solid_Python If you need a subscription service plan for upgrades then it's not "free". And a lot of these upgrades aren't really worth the upcharge Nintendo is charging. Mario Party + Jamboree TV is a good example of that. Some of the most diehard fans are insulted with what Nintendo did with that one.
@KevinP I agree with you. I also think it's insulting that they are charging people for frame rate and graphics upgrades for some titles. This is an expensive system and I seriously doubt it's costing Nintendo much to upgrade the specs for the Switch 2. It would show some goodwill to consumers who bought the system. They are being really greedy this gen and trying to squeeze every dollar out of consumers. Just my opinion
I always said the true test of the Switch 2 would be when the honeymoon phase was over. The diehard fans were always going to buy it at launch and soon afterwards. The rest of the population are fine waiting and don't see a need to upgrade, especially given the high prices of the console, games, and accessories. Nintendo used to be the choice for families but those days are long gone it seems. With the state of the world a lot of people are more focused on just trying to survive instead of buying a game system that's not a huge leap compared to the previous one.
I tried to get into the first one but just couldn't. I hate Rick and Morty and the "humor" does nothing for me. The gameplay was okay but not mind-blowing. I hope others can get something from this game but it's a pass for me
@harrystein So commit mail fraud to combat scalpers? Potentially getting a felony over the tactics some people use really isn't worth it. I hope your friend is caught and punished
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I never saw the appeal of buying the same controller with a different color or pattern.π I just stick with what came with the console and only upgrade if their are significant changes besides a new color way
@deezcronuts I agree with you. Nintendo really should've had a new Mario game ready for launch or within six months of the system being out. That's inexcusable in my opinion. Bananza is a good game but not a system seller. It also looks like it was something that was initially made for Switch but moved over to Switch 2 to pad Nintendo's first party lineup for Switch 2
I personally see no reason to upgrade. My Switch OLED is serving me well. Game key cards, high console price, inferior screen, lackluster battery life, etc... There are plenty of reasons why some people aren't in a hurry to upgrade. I always said the true test for the system would be when the honeymoon phase was over. The hardcore fans were always going to rush out and buy it immediately. Those of us with patience and other options can wait until we see actual value before taking the plunge
@Kiz3000 I agree with you. I remember telling people it was only a matter of time until Nintendo started using Game Key cards and I was attacked for my opinion. They (Nintendo) really want this media to be the standard going forward and it's ridiculous
Horrible news and way to die. He was coming out of that tunnel way too fast in a powerful sports car. Seeing the video was tough, because even if they lived, they would've definitely had some serious long term health issues due to that impact.
