I have been told that music is the reason before, but the mobile port of the game has the music intact, so this explanation doesn't make any sense to me.
Not great overall, especially compared to Switch 1,
but gets points for trying something different by launching with a Donkey or Zelda adventure, and with Mario Kart.
Gets a 1 instead of 0 from me because of Metroid Prime 4.
But even that didn't get a release date.
Neither did Pokemon ZA, a game which might turn out to be decent, but I doubt it.
Professor Layton has been beaten to death, along with the Switch.
The whole thing could have been a post on social media two months ago.
They handed in their homework late, then shat on the teacher's desk.

A good time to quit gaming for reading and writing I do reckon.

@ButterySmooth30FPS
Price points have a psychological threshold,
it's why many items are priced with .99.
I don't pretend to be an expert on it,
bit looking at many of these comments,
$80 seems to be the threshold for some.

And the N64 went on to corner the market.
No, hang on...

"Nintendo have a ton of market power right now"
"They’ll have run the figures and these are the decisions they believe will generate the highest returns."
Let's have a look through Nintendo history and see if they've made poor decisions from a position of market strength leading to spectacular failure...
... oh my! God no!
Re: Switch 2 Games Cost A Bit More Than You're Probably Expecting
This feels a lot to me like the N64 game pricing when it came out.
Expect it will similarly put a lot of people off.
@mikegamer
An exception that applies to just two of the launch games? You reckon?
Re: Switch 2 Games Cost A Bit More Than You're Probably Expecting
It's a disgrace,
probably.
Re: GameCube Games Confirmed For Nintendo Switch Online On Switch 2
Crazy Taxi on NSO could persuade me to get a Switch 2.

Eugh, charging for upgrades is just gross.
Re: Donkey Kong: Bananza, A New 3D DK Adventure, Is Confirmed For Switch 2
I didn't mind the redesign so much before,
now I hate it. They've made him act too whacky.
And the environments look barren.

Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Direct For March 2025?
More of a Nintendo Passive Aggressive than a Nintendo Direct.

Good idea.

For whatever reason they can't release it all now, it'd be better to wait to release all of it together.

Re: Switch 2 GameCube Controller Rumours Resurface Following New Nintendo Filing
@nocdaes
Well for one thing 'Ultimate' doesn"t have every Smash stage, nor many modes.
There's also a number of glaring Nintendo character omissions to my mind, which I'd prefer to the third party stuff.
