Re: Talking Point: Metroid Prime 4 And The Burden Of Being 'Good Enough'

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. If it was made/published by anyone else but Nintendo reviews would've been a lot more harsh. It's decent but not mind-blowing or deserving of high scores like some people and organizations have given it.

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

@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.

@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.

Re: Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period

@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
