Then I stopped buying most at $70 pricing and have been waiting for sales first.
At $80? I will buy next to no games at launch. My salary certainly hasn't risen for me to pay so much more
I currently use Game Pass because there are now new releases I want to play on a steady basis. Indy, Avowed, Oblivion, Expedition 33, and Doom (soon) have all made the sub price worth it
Target was the only website that worked. Walmart and BB didn't seem to function for me at midnight. Took 30 min.
Only game aside from Mario Kart for me is Cyberpunk. Now that I know that most other 3rd party games are digital downloads via the cart nonsense, I won't be buying them.
PS5 and Xbox Various-Letters? Not so much. Those consoles have barely any current-gen exclusives to even justify owning them. The PS5 has been super disappointing
I'm looking forward to it. My nostalgia peaked with the end of the original anime series. So I'm not interested in the later games. The early games are find memories on GBA for me
its cool, I will continue not to buy digital. Physical copies are still almost always cheaper anyway. And plus, they can't be stolen away by a corporation

Re: Talking Point: With Prices Rising, Are Your Gaming Habits Changing?
I used to buy many $60 games at launch.

Re: Shuhei Yoshida On Higher Switch 2 Game Prices: "It Was Going To Happen Eventually"
sure, prices rise over time.
But you know what hasn't risen? Our salaries. So...how are we supposed to afford these prices?
Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Buying Any Game-Key Card Switch 2 Games?
I buy physical copies for preservation. To make sure my collection still works in 20 years.
If a cart requires a download to access the game, its entirely useless to me
Re: Opinion: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's Best Gameplay Feature Is Straight Out Of Mario's Playbook
I really hope this comes to Switch 2
Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo Series Are You Most Excited To See Return On Switch 2?
We are so long overdue for a new Fire Emblem that it hurts me.
Engage was not good and was super disappointing after Three Houses was Awakening-level great for me.
I will also once again ask for a new (or remaster of) Golden Sun
Re: Limited Run's Atlus Switch 2 Collector's Edition Is A 'Game-Key Card' Release
....what?
Isn't Limited Run's WHOLE THING to produce physical games?
What's the point then?
Re: Beloved Fantasy City Builder 'Against The Storm' Arrives On Switch This June
city builder? Yes please.
roguelike? Ehhhhh
Re: Poll: Which Switch 2 Accessories Are You Picking Up At Launch?
I'm gonna have to get a memory card. But the accessories are just too expensive
Re: Nintendo Confirms Upgrade Pack Price For More 'Switch 2 Edition' Titles
upgrades should be free, this feels like a punishment.
Re: New Nintendo Music Update Beefs Up A Bunch Of Track Runtimes
whyyyy is there no Xenoblade music
Re: Poll: So, Did You Manage To Get A Switch 2 Pre-Order In? (North America)
Target was the only website that worked. Walmart and BB didn't seem to function for me at midnight. Took 30 min.
Only game aside from Mario Kart for me is Cyberpunk. Now that I know that most other 3rd party games are digital downloads via the cart nonsense, I won't be buying them.
Re: Fire Emblem Engage Added To Nintendo Music, Here's Every Song Included
No Three Houses yet and STILL zero Xenoblade.
WTF Nintendo? At least this isn't just more Mario music again
Re: Uh Oh, It Looks Like Select Switch 2 Games Won't Support Cloud Saves
why am I paying for a service that is hit or miss on doing what it sells itself as?
Re: Nintendo Direct: Mario Kart World: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate It?
there didn't seem to be any actual news. Nothing seemed new enough to need this extra time after the Direct and Treehouse previously
Re: DOOM + DOOM II Is Getting A New Limited Run Collector's Edition For $666
I would pay $6.66 or $66.60. Certainly not $666.00
Re: Nintendo Comments On Mario Kart World's Controversial Price
I won't pay $70 for a game.
I especially won't pay $80 for a game
All this does it cause me to buy less games
Re: Upgrade Pack Price For Zelda: BOTW And TOTK Has Been Confirmed
it should be free, like Xbox's last-to-current gen upgrades
Re: "DROP THE PRICE!!!" Scream Nintendo Fans During Nintendo's Treehouse Live Broadcast
@PersonaTexas keep taking that copium. And maybe an Econ 101 course
Re: "DROP THE PRICE!!!" Scream Nintendo Fans During Nintendo's Treehouse Live Broadcast
surprise! Its gonna go up for my fellow Americans. Because we elected the trash clown
Re: Sega Announces Five Titles For Switch 2 "Launch Window"
Persona 3 and Metaphor are big misses here
Re: "Don't Let Nintendo Ruin The Entire Industry" - Is $80 For Mario Kart World A Bridge Too Far?
I won't spend $70 for most games, much less anything more than that. $80 is absolutely beyond acceptable.
The more game prices rise, the less games I buy. They will get less money from me
Re: Switch 2 Games Cost A Bit More Than You're Probably Expecting
I won't pay $70 for most games. Who in the world can afford $80!?
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Priced At $449.99 For The Base Console
$450 is very reasonable. I'm impressed
Re: Nintendo Music Update Adds Classic SNES And N64 Soundtracks, Here's Every Song Included
why is there still no Xenoblade?
Re: Final Fantasy 9 Remake Hopes Rise As Square Enix Teases Anniversary Projects
can't wait for them to give it a crappy action battle system like the FF7 remake they ruined
Re: Ubisoft Opens New Subsidiary Backed By Tencent For Assassin's Creed And Other IP
I liked Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rayman.
I want Ubisoft to figure their crap out. But come on. At this point, I wish Xbox had bought Ubi rather than Activision
Re: 'My Nintendo' App Icon Spotted, But Will It Come To The West?
for god's sake. Another separate app? Why isnt the 'news' app wrapped into this one?
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Direct For March 2025?
the Marvel arcade game and the Raidou remaster are cool announcements.
Still no date for Metroid Prime 4 or Pokemon ZA is odd.
And nothing else appealed to me
Re: 'Nintendo Today', A New Mobile App, Will Deliver Fresh Switch 2 News Every Day
No thanks. No apps for me
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct Predictions - What Do You Want To See?
Metroid Prime 4 right?
Who do we need to kill at Game Freak to get Pokemon on NSO?
Those Zelda Wii U ports would be great too
Re: UK Charts: A Strong Xenoblade Debut Can't Escape Assassin's Creed's Shadow
@CERBERUS40000 Shadows is selling faster than Valhalla. Not sure what you're on about
Re: UK Charts: A Strong Xenoblade Debut Can't Escape Assassin's Creed's Shadow
both games are great. I've been playing both. I sure wish they didn't release on the same day though
As someone who really disliked Valhalla, Shadows feels far more like a return to form than anything we've had since Origins
Re: Feature: "If The Game Does Not Sell Well, We May Be Done" - It's Do Or Die For Too Kyo Games & 'The Hundred Line'
demo, when? I'm interested
Re: Nintendo Joins Cross-Industry Effort 'Accessible Games Initiative' As Founding Member
Nintendo opposes accessible options though. Like, they are the worst at this
Re: Star Wars: Hunters Servers To Close Later This Year
And this is why I would never put money into a freemium game
Re: Niantic Sells Pokémon GO And Entire Gaming Division For $3.5 Billion
hard pass for me. I won't support the evil Saudi regime
Re: Chrono Trigger To Celebrate 30th Anniversary With "Various Projects"
Why hasn't Square released this game on modern platforms?
Re: Opinion: Legends Z-A's Xenoblade-Style Battles Are Pokémon's Most Exciting Evolution In Years
I disagree. This really turned me off from the game, actually.
Much like FF7, traditional turn based battles are core to the Pokemon experience.
Re: Analyst Fears U.S. Tariffs Could Spell Disaster For Physical Games
I'm waiting for us to win. We don't seem to be winning yet
Re: Nintendo Places Outside Top 20 In Metacritic's 15th Annual Game Publisher Rankings
Nintendo needs better quality control outside of their pillar franchises
Re: Talking Point: What We Expect From The Switch 2 Direct
Golden Sun remaster please
Re: Nintendo Music Updated To Version 1.1.0, Here's What's Included
still waiting on ANY Xenoblade music
Re: Feature: These Past 8 Years Have Been A Privilege
the Switch is definitely a peak for gaming.
PS5 and Xbox Various-Letters? Not so much. Those consoles have barely any current-gen exclusives to even justify owning them. The PS5 has been super disappointing
Re: Video: 12 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In March 2025
Suikoden and Xenoblade are the last Switch games I am getting for a while, I think. Unless something else compelling is announced
Re: A Remixed Song From Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Has Been Released
you know what would be cool? Xenoblade music in the Nintendo music app
Re: Random: This Unofficial Sonic Unleashed PC Port Has Us Dreaming Of A Switch 2 Remaster
I thought people hated this? I remember it clearly at the time
Re: How Would You Rate The Pokémon Presents Showcase For February 2025?
lots of phone trash
ZA looks somehow worse than Arceus?
and still no classic games on Switch.
Very disappointed
Re: Talking Point: Our 2025 Pokémon Presents Predictions - What Are You Hoping For?
I hope we get more real games than just ZA. Im so sick of their fixation on phone crap
Pokemon on NSO at least?
Re: Review: Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection (Switch) - A Comprehensive Round-Up With A Few Real Winners
I'm looking forward to it. My nostalgia peaked with the end of the original anime series. So I'm not interested in the later games. The early games are find memories on GBA for me
Re: Opinion: Scrapping Gold Points Makes Sense For Nintendo, But It's A Bitter Pill For Loyal Fans
its cool, I will continue not to buy digital. Physical copies are still almost always cheaper anyway. And plus, they can't be stolen away by a corporation
