I think this goes to show that one of the biggest design flaws of the Nintendo Switch is it’s pathetic amount of RAM. Hopefully they can do some magic and overcome the RAM problem.
I wonder if in places like the United States where so many people are under economic distress e.g. there could be 20-30 million new homeless people by Oct in the USA, if those markets will bare a price increase or not. Since Nintendo is not putting out a new system with games that cost a whole lot more to produce they might do exceptionally well for years compared to Sony and Microsoft.
I have a really bad feeling about the new Metroid now. Most every time a developer tries to appeal to casual players and hardcore players the game comes out a bland muddled mess that pleases no one, and falls short of the heights it could’ve reached. I wish that developers especially Nintendo would realize this is hurting them.
I will pass until I can buy it used and even then maybe not. I really don’t wanna deal with BOTW type breakable items they’re frustrating and the battle system sounds frustrating and unrewarding.
I’m starting to think that the pandemic was a product of Cthulhu and he’s about to rise from the ocean. The sheer insanity of this stuff is just mind boggling.
@BANJO Nintendo could go further they could drop free DLC for some of their games, they could drop the price of games like Mario Kart and Breath of the Wild, they revamp the eShop, they could bring the quality of Nintendo online to be on par with Sony's and Microsoft's services.
I'm glad they've pretty much confirmed we're getting a Switch 2 at some point. I hope with the Switch 2 they'll focus on making the handheld experience more pleasant e.g. giving us an OLED screen at a higher resolution and a much better battery. I wouldn't mind them removing things like touchscreen since they're very rarely used and the money spent on them could be used for things like more RAM.
@BANJO don’t forget the base for the Switch is already and even if the new consoles are hot items it'll take a while for theirs to build up to anything substantial. If Nintendo releases one or two big games for the Switch like Breath of the Wild 2 or drops the price or both and Switch sales eclipse the new consoles it’d have a big impact on third parties. It is quite possible the Switch will sell better than either of the consoles.
@BANJO it is going to become interesting also because the industry is probably going to increase prices to $70-$80 per game for those consoles to offset increased production costs. In a lot of places including the United States with the pandemic going on that’ll be unaffordable for a meaningful number of people. I think Sony’s and Microsoft’s console sales will suffer from them being unaffordable to a meaningful number of people but also suffer from people being more financially risk adverse until the pandemic is over. I think it is entirely possible that a lot of third parties are going to stick with the Switch because it’ll be safer financially.
I hope Nintendo can use this to help convince third parties to continue to support the Switch even after Sony and Microsoft release their next consoles.
It’ll probably have to be held somewhere outside the USA since no one in the United States government cares one bit about anyone but themselves or their rich donors.

Re: Nintendo Reveals Average Age And Salary Of Its Employees (As Of March 2020)

Re: Series Producer Suggests Metroid Prime 4 'Won't Ignore Casual Players'
