@Desa I agree with everything you said. Nintendo considers itself the Apple of gaming. They believe their products are worth the high prices and are arrogant enough to keep seeing what they can get away with. They used to pride themselves on affordability and accessibility but those days are pretty much over. I understand market changes/conditions but what they are doing this gen is getting pretty ridiculous in my opinion. Unfortunately there will always be those willing to be taken advantage of because they absolutely have to buy whatever this company puts out no matter what. At least some people are opening their eyes to what they are doing and finally making conscious decisions
Nintendo is really flying closer to the sun with what they're doing this generation. They are being really shady with certain things and some people are continuing to give them a pass. Of course nobody is forced to buy whatever they put out but it's about principles and Nintendo is showing none. This content could've been added to the game in my opinion. And to charge this much for it is ridiculous. But they know some diehards will eat up everything they put out because it's "Nintendo". I wouldn't be surprised if they are the first company to charge $100 for a game just because they feel they can get away with it. And the fanboys will defend it.😐
Absolutely ridiculous how much Nintendo is charging for these. Of course the fanboys will defend them as usual. People keep giving this company more and more leeway to do stuff like this. I wouldn't be surprised if they jack up prices even more because they know some people will buy it because it's Nintendo.😐
The design is pretty cool but it's a shame about the functionality lacking. I'm sure some immature people won't ever support Genki because they spoiled the reveal of the Switch 2. A reveal that had no bearing on whether or not someone was going to buy/enjoy the console.😐
Everyone should be against this regardless of how you feel about Nintendo. This is a slippery slope that can stifle game development unless companies pay up to Nintendo. Hopefully those with common sense rejects this patent. The absolute arrogance of this company is something else.😐
@JumpingJackson Exactly. Difficulty options don't "water down" or hurt the experiences developers intended for their game. It actually broadens the reach of the game which benefits developers and gamers. If someone wants to make the game as hard as possible they should be able to do that. Just like if someone just wants to experience the lore and gameplay without ripping their hair out she be allowed to do that too. So many people are selfish and would rather gatekeep something than see other people enjoy it too. It's ridiculous
Every game should have difficulty options in my opinion. Everyone doesn't have the time to "get good", especially if you're a working adult with a family. Gaming should be relaxing and not rage inducing.
Funny how many people are swearing off Genki. That's really immature and ridiculous in my opinion. The people who are furious with them really need to grow up. "They ruined the Switch 2 reveal for me!🥹😭" Wow, it's really not that serious. Defending a multi billion dollar corporation against a multi million dollar corporation is something else. The Switch 2 broke launch records and some people had no idea about what Genki did.
Shocking!😐 I'm not a fan of live service games but sports games really need to go that route. There are hardly any significant changes from year to year. Just update the rosters. These games aren't worth the prices asked for them
@dew12333 Take your own advice. Keep falling for the bs from these companies. They love people like you. You probably think Nintendo and these other companies are your friends.😐
Of course Ubisoft will always choose the anti consumer route. Online requirements for single player games, delisting games after a few years, game key cards, etc... I really wish these companies would cut the bulls**t. Game key cards benefit the company, period. They don't want people to actually own their games anymore. People making excuses for Nintendo and game key cards are also being ridiculous and naive. When the cost of those SD cards come down, companies will continue using game key cards. They'll just make some lame excuses about why it's "beneficial" for customers. I hate that Nintendo even introduced this pathetic media.
Average. There's nothing that stands out to make me personally want to buy a Switch 2 right now. Bananza looks good and is the most interesting game in my opinion. But not enough for me to drop hundreds of dollars on a Switch 2
I'll pick it up in a few years after a discount. It looks good but not something I feel like I need to play right now. The backlog is calling. Hope others who have been waiting for years enjoy it
The game looks okay so far but one thing has me worried. Online requirements for single player mode. The newer Hitman games are plagued with that ridiculous feature. I'm not holding my breath it won't be the same for the new Bond game.
I didn't expect much from this one just like I did with the first one. This is the type of game you wait for a huge discount if you're really interested in playing it
The hype for this game is immense. It'll be interesting to see how it's received, especially after the honeymoon phase is over. I don't think it'll be a failure but I also don't think it'll drastically top Hollow Knight. Just my opinion.

This definitely won't be cheap.
Re: Rosalina's Storybook From Super Mario Galaxy Goes On Sale This November
Too expensive in my opinion
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Is Getting DLC Featuring Two Different Mega Raichu
We don't even know how well this game will run when it's released and they are already announcing DLC. Ridiculous.
Re: Stardew Valley To Dig Up Mouse Controls On Switch 2
Other companies are charging for frame rate and upscaling updates while this one has dropped so much free content it's crazy. I love it.
Re: Round Up: Everything Announced For Super Mario's 40th Anniversary
Nothing really stood out to me. I knew it was a longshot but I really wanted to see a brand new Mario game
Re: Virtual Boy Is Being Added To Nintendo Switch Online
Nintendo really must be smoking crack charging that much for this.🤣
Re: Surprise! Donkey Kong Bananza Is Getting DLC, And It's Out Today
This could've been a part of the base game and to charge this much for it is even more insulting.

Re: Nintendo's Patent On 'Sub Characters' Could Have Some Dire Ramifications
@BeetleBoyd Wow. You can be angry about what Nintendo is doing but this is really vile and disgusting to say.😐

Re: Nintendo Wins $2 Million Lawsuit Against 'MiG Switch' Distributor
@Matl Hey now, some higher up at Nintendo could barely feed their family due to piracy and irreparable harm.
Re: Nintendo Wins $2 Million Lawsuit Against 'MiG Switch' Distributor

Re: Nintendo Wins $2 Million Lawsuit Against 'MiG Switch' Distributor
Will someone please think of the multi billion dollar corporation?!😐🙄🤣

MLB The Show and Raging Loop for me
Re: Cronos: The New Dawn Gets A Launch Trailer Specifically For Switch 2

Re: Poll: Three Months In, How Would You Rate Switch 2's Library So Far?
Average. There's nothing that stands out to make me personally want to buy a Switch 2 right now. Bananza looks good and is the most interesting game in my opinion. But not enough for me to drop hundreds of dollars on a Switch 2

Cronos is my most anticipated game this month. It looks really good and has been getting some pretty good reviews.
Re: First Impressions: Same But Different? - Our Initial Hours With Hollow Knight: Silksong
I'll pick it up in a few years after a discount. It looks good but not something I feel like I need to play right now. The backlog is calling. Hope others who have been waiting for years enjoy it
Re: IO Interactive Stuck Daniel Craig's Head On Agent 47 To Pitch 007 First Light
The game looks okay so far but one thing has me worried. Online requirements for single player mode. The newer Hitman games are plagued with that ridiculous feature. I'm not holding my breath it won't be the same for the new Bond game.
Re: Square Enix Details Octopath Traveler 0's Switch 2 Performance And Resolution
More than likely 1080 and 60 fps in docked mode. I doubt it'll hit those numbers in handheld
Re: Round Up: Pour One Out For These 6 Brave Games Launching On 'Silksong Day'
I'm pretty sure a lot of people couldn't care less about Silksong. There's enough room at the table for other games.

Re: Super Mario Party Jamboree Updated For Switch 2 And Switch (Version 2.2.0)
Nintendo and their vague statements on certain things is so exhausting and ridiculous
Re: Final Fantasy Tactics' Devs Had To Lean On Fans To Recover Original Source Code
This is why game preservation is so important.
Re: Rumour: Resident Evil Requiem Could Be Heading To The Switch 2
It'll likely be a game key card and be inferior to other platforms. I hope I'm wrong but I'm not holding my breath.
Re: Review: Everybody's Golf Hot Shots (Switch) - Silly, Satisfying, But Hampered By Patchy Performance & Presentation
Another Switch game with performance issues. Shocking.😐

Re: Review: Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion (Switch 2) - Decently Deep Mech Combat, But Clunky In Parts

Re: Feature: The Road To Silksong: Remembering Seven Years Of Hope, Hype, And Clown Makeup
The hype for this game is immense. It'll be interesting to see how it's received, especially after the honeymoon phase is over. I don't think it'll be a failure but I also don't think it'll drastically top Hollow Knight. Just my opinion.
