@Dash120z Is if we’re talking fast-paced games (my biggest concern if they do finally decide to bring Tekken 8 to the platform)

@the_beaver Let’s hope we can add whatever they’ve got cooking for Mario and Zelda to the list as well

I am simultaneously anticipating and dreading this

@Sindayl That is completely fair. Nintendo absolutely overcharges for their older releases. However, there are two important factors: 1) people are willing to pay full price for a 1st party Nintendo because it’s far more likely that they’ll get their money’s worth out of them, and 2) Nintendo games typically have a far longer lifespan compared to Xbox and PlayStation games, which are replaced by either sequels or enhanced versions after 1-3 years of relevancy.

Literally less than a year ago: “OMG ALL SWITCH 2 GAMES ARE GOING TO BE $80 START PREPPING YOUR DOOMSDAY BUNKERS!”

They retail for $70 on average, and a tennis game retails for that price after it’s predecessor also launched at what was at the time the average retail price of $60 after its incredibly barren predecessor launched slightly below the average retail price, instead retailing for $50, despite being worth like $20. This is how the community reacts: “OMG $70 for a tennis game with barely any single-player content is absurd. Nintendo is greedy and should follow in Sega’s footsteps. Now if you excuse me, Madden 27 is calling my name.”

Just admit y’all hate Mario Tennis, people

I’ll wait for a discount, but it looks fun. Definitely at some point

@michellelynn0976 It’s a Scott the Woz joke

@UpsideDownRowlet At least it’s not as bad as in the trailer showing Mario and DK’s fight. Thank God they fixed that.

@michellelynn0976 Does Luigi make you…never mind

Still don’t really know what the plot is, but given that it’s based on the Super Mario brand, that’s unsurprising

Well now they’re rubbing salt in the wound

I think they were sick of the stability jokes

No Tekken 8 =automatic rating of 1

Aw crap, there goes my free time

@Magician An upgraded model with significantly improved battery life would also be appreciated. I’m still scared of taking this thing on the go. Darn thing dies so quickly

Plz for the love of God I just want to see Tekken 8 on this thing

@kalosn 2017*

@gaga64 They need 40 million more

Darn darn darney darn darn!

-the internet

You put this next to Garfield Kart and expect it to stand on its feet?

@breach187 Pretty sure the average kid would be demanding a $10,000 check if they won

Finally, an election I’m actually excited for! Looking at the candidates, I think Valve Man looks fit to serve as President

Somehow got 12/12, with a couple of lucky guesses made

Neither my body or my wallet is ready

Probably, but not until summer

Give us Tekken 8 and maybe a little more info on Mega Man Dual Override and all will be forgiven

They’ll find a way to scrutinize this addition

@BTB20 I know MLB licenses it to Sony, but I said EA for some reason

@RobbySuave I meant MLB. My bad

Why would you give a card to the guy who’s one card away from victory?

Edit: Oh wait, EA forced them to make The Show a multi-plat series, in that case I don’t know why they’re skipping Switch 2 for now

Second Edit: Dang it I meant MLB

By doing this they’ve already given the haters something to call it: the worst April Fools joke ever

Give me Tekken or give me death

Obviously it will be Final Fantasy 7 Reggae, where it’s learned that Reggae’s body is ready for world domination, so naturally he needs to be stopped

@AussieMcBucket You say that like the Switch 2 gen is ending this year

I’m not a huge fan of either, but the NA/EU version is a little more boring. It is better box art, though, (I feel like JP could be the cover to a dozen or so Yoshi games), so maybe O should have gone with that?

I can only imagine the haters scoring it 1/10 on the basis that their imaginary GF left them for Cloud

@mlt The first gen? They’re all probably in the after life as we speak (remember the hanafuda days?)

As always, I wish these guys the best of luck

Is that a Wario reveal I smell?

@FlyingDunsparce

Sounds like

A) translation error

B) someone’s pulling our leg

C) NL screwed up and MK8DX got an update addressing that issue since it’s actually possible there

D) some people were somehow able to mod the game and use Kamek’s model or something like that

or

E) someone let the Kamek out of the bag

Definitely gonna try out team races in KOT

I’m sorry, but I cannot stop laughing at Yoshi’s facial expression

@UpsideDownRowlet I personally don’t see the point in arguments like that. New consoles being readily available in retail environments at MSRP is better than new consoles being incredibly scarce and thus immediately bought out when available just to be sold on the second-hand market at double the price.

P.S. Just feel the need to clarify that I’m aware you’re being sarcastic.

@MamaSymphonia To be fair, the PS3 was an advanced piece of tech with capabilities well beyond the previous generation of consoles. It probably would have done a lot better had the Xbox 360 not released a year earlier at a lower price

I’m personally more curious as to whether or not NSW1 has outsold PS2 yet

It’s Piranha Plant, isn’t it?

@BigBluePanda It’s a typo. It will actually stabilize all five senses

Congrats on the baby! Hopefully the AC franchise also has one in the oven

Got my pre order in a few weeks ago after playing the demo. So excited to finally play this after seeing a trailer for it back in 2020

@LazyDaisy Except that 99% of complaints about Nintendo and the Switch 2 are outright ridiculous. “Welcome Tour should have been a pack-in!” As if anybody would truly care if it were. “The games just aren’t as good these days!” Take off the nostalgia goggles. People 50 years from now are going to pretend that this era of gaming was the industry’s peak, just like how people today think the 64 is the greatest thing ever. “It’s incredibly overpriced!” The console itself? No. That’s just stupid. Xbox Series X consoles are going for $600 these days, and for our sanity I think we should avoid mentioning the PS5 Pro. Are the accessories overpriced? Yes. Very. Are the games overpriced? It depends. Mario Kart World and the Switch 2 updated version of SMPJ are definitely overpriced, but stuff like the BOTW and TOTK upgrades are fairly priced. “Nintendo is so money-hungry and has gone too far with its anti-consumer practices!” First of all, Iwata is gone. Only God knows if we’ll see a guy like him again. With that out of the way, we have to face the facts: it has always been this way. They sold the Virtual Boy. The 64. The Wii U. The 3DS. All of these consoles launched in underwhelming states, and the Wii U and 3DS were arguably more overpriced at the time compared to the Switch 2. Were the games cheaper? Yeah. Were they far more barren? Heck yeah. While many complaints about the Switch 2 are perfectly valid, most of them are completely overblown and aren’t going to lead to anything.
