it is about game prices and sony and xbox game prices will always get discounted for many bargains while first party nintendo games do not even years later..breath of the wild still selling at full price 8 years later is a joke..
@calbeau why should you be charged for a service you wont use simply because you have a online subscription? i can see lawsuits coming if that is the case..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXVdHpGy5II digital foundry is comparing switch 2 to the ps4 comparing some games with the ps4.. switch 2 is a somewhat better then the ps4 in these videos..
nintendo been known to hold back games it has already finished there is no question they already have a windwaker t/p port ready to put out at any time..
you can get the ps5 digital console with astrobot bundle for $399 of you can get the ps5 physical bundle with astrobot for $449 ps5 is a real powerhouse.
when the pixel remasters first came out i paid $129 for them i wont pay 80 for the new mario kart because i do not think it is worth that price. unlike what i paid for the pixel remasters..
switch 2 price has nothing to do with tariffs as nintendo says..nintendo was starting at $449 regardless and i expected that.. better system more higher price.. it is first [arty games that are 10 dollars to expensive if you consider nintendo games wont have the high budgets that many ps5 games have had 3 or 4 games that cost over 200 million to make.. i will have to pick and choose which first party games i will purchase from now. on and rely mostly on third party games which will be cheaper..
$449 was switch 2 price regardless of tariffs even without a oled screen...it makes me think there wont be any need for a oled screen since the new screen is very good..
@anoyonmus White House trade advisor Peter Navarro said Monday that an offer by Vietnam to eliminate tariffs on U.S. imports would not be enough for the administration to lift its new levies announced last week.
“Let’s take Vietnam. When they come to us and say ‘we’ll go to zero tariffs,’ that means nothing to us because it’s the nontariff cheating that matters,” Navarro said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
The examples of nontariff “cheating” cited by Navarro included Chinese products being routed through Vietnam, intellectual property theft and a value-added tax.
i wonder if nintendo decided for the zelda games to keep the updates at 10 dollars given all the blowback they heard the last few days..we will probably never know..
after reading some info i suppose it beats the alternative of a code in a box.. though i still prefer the game on the cart like what cyberpunk will be..many third party companies will use this as a way to save money i mean square enix seriously did not want to put a 11 gig bravely default on a switch cart..
switch 1 was family friendly now youtubers are saying family is not the switch target audience..people are making excuses saying sony charges 70 dollars for first party games they do but that price will drop in months for most games while nintendo first party games rarely drop in price even years later..
