I've never seen anyone complain about the price of the system. It's the game prices that are causing contention and controversy.
If they spent a little more time on building a more up to date system, I'd gladly pay that price! Especially if they (Nintendo) could find a way to lose Key Cards!

Re: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Switch Update Detailed
There's no life storys like in the first game.
There isn't a lot of goofy stuff either.
It's just more bland than the original.

@BenAV
Not exactly true...
If there is a JPN version of a game versus a NA version of a game, cross DLC won't work.
Only actual all region games will work with all DLC.
There are only a few games like this.
Even Fantasy Life has two versions.
JPN or Asian.
Depending on which you have, you have to get the corresponding DLC.

I hope it's free!

Re: "If You're A Real Fan, You'll Find A Way" - Borderlands 4 Dev Gives Tone Deaf Response To Price Concerns
I paid $90 for Star Wars: Episode 1: Racer for the N64
I was still in High School (final year)
That was the ONLY game I paid that price for.
I will NOT go back to paying those prices!
No video game should be over $50 (after tax)
The gaming industry is so much bigger now that these games pay for themselves in a freaking day!
Re: Talking Point: The Switch 2 Pre-Order Situation Sucks, But Can Nintendo Do Anything About It?
There's NO reason why all these games (except for Split Fiction) are on Key Cards!

Re: Talking Point: How Can The Next Animal Crossing Improve Crafting?
Alternatively: Get rid of crafting!
It was never needed before and only took away from the game!
It was useless filler disguised as gameplay and items!
New Horizons was the worst game in the series!
Re: Talking Point: How Can The Next Animal Crossing Improve Crafting?
Have a separate tool storage / inventory from items!
Have a separate inventory for craftables!
Have upgradeable storage for "on person"
Re: Talking Point: How Can The Next Animal Crossing Improve Crafting?
Get rid of breakable tools!
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Hardware Chip Was Potentially Finalised As Early As 2021

It's the game prices that are causing contention and controversy.
If they spent a little more time on building a more up to date system, I'd gladly pay that price!
Especially if they (Nintendo) could find a way to lose Key Cards!
I don't want to keep buying 1Tb EX cards!
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Hardware Chip Was Potentially Finalised As Early As 2021
4 more years of research and development could have gone a long way, hell, even just 2 to see where the industry was headed.

@StewdaMegaManNerd
That's crap! Every card should be a 64gb then!
We shouldn't be penalized for this!
Re: Rumour: New Leak May Explain Why So Many Switch 2 Physicals Are Game Key Cards
Why can't the 64gb cards hold 64gb of a game and the rest gets downloaded?
Why make us use up 100gb per game?
A 1tb EX card is going to fill up super quick this Gen!
Re: Rumour: New Leak May Explain Why So Many Switch 2 Physicals Are Game Key Cards
I keep asking and no one has said anything, how much data does a Key Card hold?
