As unhappy as I am with the Switch 2 overall, thats actually pretty nice to hear. Nowadays a mid-tier pc is usually between $400-$600 so to see similar specs on a handheld that has to also worry about a screen and battery means the value is actually pretty good, even if the number itself is higher than many were hoping for.
The fact that Nintendo delayed U.S preorders over the tariffs shows that the $80 games price was a pre-tariff decision. If they really think I'm gonna pay $80 minimum for a game, they've got another thing coming. I don't think it's even possible to make a game I would ever be willing to spend $80 on. Unfortunately this decision has single-handedly killed my entire hype for the Switch 2.
So essentially Nintendo is saying "Hey don't like being ripped off? Buy the bundle, until we decide we're done helping you not get ripped off!" The fact that they even have the nerve to sell this for $90 to begin with has completely killed off any and all hype I had for the Switch 2
No matter how much content and modes they pack into this, there's just no way I can possibly ever look at the $90 price tag and think anything other than "I'm not spending that much on any game."
You're not even including the part where it's $90 for the physical version of the game. I swear when I saw that, every little bit of hype I had for the Switch 2 died all at once. This may be the first time I ever skip a Nintendo generation unfortunately.
This seems like a good way to play higher end games on lower specs, since you could just lower the rendering resolution to around 360p anyway since the 3ds only outputs that resolution. And you could sell the illusion of it being a 3ds game too by installing software or mods for lower end systems that make the textures and models lower quality too
This doesn't surprise me, a bit ago they released an update that overhauled the game and essentially took away everyones stuff they worked hard to earn, and basically made the game way worse. I'd imagine most of their players took one look at what they did and went "Oh forget this, I'm out."
