@Purgatorium to redownload can take long. Why should customer experience troubles when the only reason is that nintendo choose to save money put a ridiculuous memory?
Hard pass. Brilliant game. But not supporting the game key cards idiocy. Just wait for a heavy discount. One of the reasons to buy physical is ownership. If you dont own, no need to buy till heavily discounted as it will eventually happen and there is no risk of out of stock with digital
@Antraxx777 correct, and this is utter idiocy... no other company in the world does anything like this. I have multiple devices and I switch netflix, amazon, apple music, spotify etc without any limit or issue. They might limit to a number of devices which makes sense, but the way Nintendo managed it is ridiculous
nintendo has become extremely greedy.... I genuinely hope they get some serious slap to their face and come back to planet earth sorry if I am pissed, I just realized on a plane that I can't use MY OWN digital games on the switch lite because of the digital card idiocy...
@Azuris absolutely. At the moment there is only mario kart, and donkey kong in a month or so. I really dont see a rational reason to buy… gamecube games would have been gold but not on a rent model
@WiltonRoots I do not see any ratio. Just a personal opinion and a sales number. Milion of people also bouth overpriced remakes of Last of Us. Nobody is crying apart from someone spitting acid on others' comments I see. I respect your opinion though.
@Pillowpants in the board of directors all listed companies have outside appointed directors to keep external eye on operations. This became even more a requirement after some scandals (esp. in the US... Enron....)
Since it is basically a digital only console I will wait till the oled version comes out. I hope they will put a more reasonable memory at that time and not a stupid 256 gb
what a beautiful time to announce dramatic price increases assuming that Nintendo is stronger than ever. this launch might be a bloodbath in teh current geopolitical context
So many mistakes this time Lcd Code on card 2hrd battery (up to 6) Paid tech demo 256 giga hd (4 games?) 80/90 eur games price Specific SD cards requires (another 200 eur) 500 eur base console with mk
It will sell well. But I hope it does not to give a humility lesson to nintendo
I am not selling wiiu only for the two best zelda games ever (my opinion), in their best version and fully on disc without the pain that in ten years i will not be able to play them. I hate the trend of going digital with things i will not own (already not able to download things i paid in wiiu), and the rent on switch online is idiocy. This is not netflix
we all wanted the physical release of the remakes or remasters of these games.... not a rental service which can be ok for cheap games nobody would want to buy
90 euros a game? this will make me stop playing with nintendo consoles. I accepted the 80 euros from Sony since anyway in a matter of months it became 40 and after a couple of year 20... but Nintendo never drops prices nor discount anything, so I with them to badly crash against a wall so that they will be forced to come back to planet Earth with reasonable prices.
@ChessboardMan they are going bankrupt for reasons. Nobody likes them in UK... so many better alternatives (Amazon, Argos, Hit, 365Games, Shopto... you can continue the list).
@Princess_Lilly I also loved it, but then I realized it was a waste of time of a game... addictive to the extreme, empty to the extreme. Not surprised that the programmer comes from the gaming industry, many similar psycological dynamics you have in gambling.

@Purgatorium to redownload can take long. Why should customer experience troubles when the only reason is that nintendo choose to save money put a ridiculuous memory?
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade's File Size On Switch 2 Is Making Us Sweat
And this makes it even more ridiculous that switch 2 has a tiny 256gb memory… greedy, for a basically digital only console
Re: Poll: What Do You Make Of Link And Zelda's Live-Action Looks?
They nailed it, perfect choices. This is no disney or netflix.
I hope they will make it less polished…. Still looks like cosplay
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Is Now The "Best-Selling" Physical Game In The US This Year
Fun wins over graphics
Not an excuse for s lazy job, but it is fun
I loved pokemon violet, and even more pokemon shield. Both graphically poor
Re: Video: SEGA Shares "First Look" At Yakuza Kiwami 3's Combat Gameplay
Game key card is better than digital
Problem was that nintendo forgot to put a hard drive on switch 2.
Re: Video: SEGA Shares "First Look" At Yakuza Kiwami 3's Combat Gameplay
Gkc? Sounds like a good reason to delay buying till it goes half price. No FOMO
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Harvest Moon (SNES)
Harvest moon always had some horrible cover arts.
Re: Yakuza Kiwami 2 Brawls Onto Switch 2 In November
@fenlix come on. 3 was much worse.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Blast Corps
Both horrible to be fair
Re: Square Enix Rules Out Switch 2 "Upgrade Path" For Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake
Cheap move. But i can see why they do it.
Asking for a 5 pounds to upgrade could be fair anything different is just grabbing money

Japanese is great. Europe is informative but messy
Re: Opinion: I Never Felt True Nostalgia Until I Played GameCube On Switch 2
Gamecube holds a special place in the memory of many as it is perhaps the last relevant nintendo home console
Everybody loves gamecube for reasons
Re: Third-Party Launch Games On Switch 2 Reportedly Sold "Very Low Numbers"
@Azuris absolutely. At the moment there is only mario kart, and donkey kong in a month or so. I really dont see a rational reason to buy… gamecube games would have been gold but not on a rent model
Re: Third-Party Launch Games On Switch 2 Reportedly Sold "Very Low Numbers"
Old games sold at double the price as key on a card. They deserve the worst. Simple.

I really like switch lite to be honest
Re: Gallery: Here's Another Look At GameCube Games On Switch 2
@Suketoudara correct. I just dont support overpriced rent systems of games which are decades old. Just sell them like everybody else.
Re: Gallery: Here's Another Look At GameCube Games On Switch 2
Issue is the rent system. I would have been happy to pay to own them. Not paying for some rented roms

Will buy inevitably less. Piracy also coming back
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: 1080° Avalanche
@cybus even in europe. Mario kart with a double disk case and zelda inside. Weird but good
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: 1080° Avalanche
I love that hame so much
Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Buying Any Game-Key Card Switch 2 Games?
Since it is basically a digital only console I will wait till the oled version comes out. I hope they will put a more reasonable memory at that time and not a stupid 256 gb

Re: Opinion: A Few Too Many Questions & Unwelcome Surprises Are Taking The Shine Off The Switch 2 Reveal
@the_beaver let’s see SF Elden Ring etc
Unless they heavily compromise with content and quality, we know what is the weight on pc and consoles
Re: Opinion: A Few Too Many Questions & Unwelcome Surprises Are Taking The Shine Off The Switch 2 Reveal
So many mistakes this time
Lcd
Code on card
2hrd battery (up to 6)
Paid tech demo
256 giga hd (4 games?)
80/90 eur games price
Specific SD cards requires (another 200 eur)
500 eur base console with mk
It will sell well. But I hope it does not to give a humility lesson to nintendo

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Game Upgrade Pack Prices Seemingly Revealed (Japan)
Basically to upgrade a 10yr old hame (which on ps4 and ps5 would cost 10/20 quid) nintendo charges 10/20 quid.
They deserve a boycott this time

Re: Vampire Survivors Teases New Free Update, "Probably" The Biggest One Ever
Fun for a while. This game is an utter waste of time after that while.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Star Fox 64
