@Drummertist also got a though time adjusting to all the inflations etc but managed to pre order the switch 2 with enough accesoires and 3 starting games.
What I did was buying giftcards worth 50 euros each month for over a year so I saved enough at a famous online shop.
Times are though but I did not miss a Nintendo release since the snes released in '92. And was not going to miss this one.
@darkswabber there is what 9 years between the two I was 5 when SNES version got released and 14 when the GBA version released that's the reason the SNES version is better.
Plus the GBA version was not played with local VS mode like the SNES version.
I game on Nintendo consoles since the NES and since you where not there you can't really appreciate Mario Kart on the SNES.
We had 2 controllers 1 with a Mario sticker on the back to know which was mine and another 1 with teethmarks from my sister because she keeps losing in Mario Kart.
@Spider-Kev Same going all digital this release, will play Zelda botw/totk and Kirby from gamecard with upgrade plan but all future Switch 2 games will be purchased digital... don't care about boxes anymore.
Got mine but only ordered the official case form Nintendo because i already pre ordered the switch 2 on bol.com who already made purchases possible on the 4th.
Buying it day one, why would something be free if they spend money on developing it.
Mario Kart a ~90 euro/dollar game which will give us more than 100 hours of fun is expensive, but a restaurant visit will set me back more and is over in 2 hours and alot less people spend time on preparing my food.
You are missing out I will enjoy this"tech demo" day one, Mario Kart World day one, Donkey Kong Bananza day one.
I got 1 main hobby and to me it's still a super affordable hobby.
I can buy a 5070ti for 1200 euro or get me a switch 2 with all accesoires and 5 games for the same amount and trust me I will have much more fun.
Just buy the welcome tour and enjoy life people it's over before you know it.
Ofcourse I want a new 3d Mario/Zelda WW/Splatoon 4 but man would I love Halo MCC, I always go back to one of my all time favourite series, and Diablo 4 or if Nintendo can create a dungeon crawler new IP yes please.
Mario Kart but with Crash bandicoot and Diddy Kong adventure mode build in.
Or
An open world gran Turismo/Need for Speed underground kind of game with licenses for 100/150/200cc etc different parts/vehicles to unlock and of course pimping.

Re: Zelda Dev "Wasn't Too Pleased" About Working On 'A Link To The Past'
it's like PTSD or something is correct. that's full fledged PTSD right there it's not healthy to work like that.
I've heard Nintendo pays above the normal rates in the game business and crunch (is it crunch?) is way below what other game dev's want.
But this was 30 years ago so it could have been different back then.
