@Banjo- I only play docked. So I’m looking at paying 450 for 2013 tech to play donkey Kong and hamster arcade archives ridge racer. Sounds like a steal.

@Overzeal just because it’s the most recent release does not mean it’s a generation ahead. It’s comparable to a PS4 pro and we live in a PS5 world.

So it isn’t cheap.

You guys are absolutely insane. I think the nes is the best and has a top ten game in super Mario bros. Such a variety but there’s no doubt switch with maybe the best game of all time botw is better than switch 2 unless you think Mario kart world is going to be the greatest game of all time.

@electrolite77 inflation happened at the last few years at a far higher rate than the average persons salaries. People on here’s response seems to be completely OK with that. Or saying something like inflation applies to everything so you can choose to pay or not. For the record I have decided simply not to buy anything anymore. If it doesn’t come off kijiji, and or marketplace it’s not coming in this house. The other day I was at an adidas outlet. A sweatshirt was on sale from 170 to 60. I think 60 is insane. 170. That’s absolutely nuts. Unless you’re telling me that adidas went to the sweatshops and said to the little kids were finally going to give you a living wage then I don’t consider this inflation. I consider it greed. Or in 2021 I bought a new house. Moved in and painted it. A huge tub of the best paint from Home Depot was 109. Now that same paint is 259. Is there metals in this paint. Computer chips? Why did paint go up? I don’t consider these things inflation but just coorporate greed. Well in some ways I get the price of the switch when we compare it to these other portable PCs. But that’s never been Nintendos lane. Nintendo has always found away to make their systems assessable. And I’m not sure this strategy is going to work. I’m a die hard since the nes days and I’m frustrated. The switch partially boomed because of its low cost entry combined with Covid and animal crossing. Now you get rid of that. Good luck getting the casuals. And yes I’d rather pay less for dk tropical freeze on the Wii u than on the switch. People are crying about eggs in this world and yes money is subjective. But you need to sell the system to more than just the wealthy to be successful. And yes I think you need to be pretty wealthy to buy this system if a tarrif is attached in this ever uncertain economy. It’s just a poor way to spend money. Especially if you already have a ps5 or series X. Other than Mario kart and donkey Kong which you can’t play on the other systems I think their direct showcased over 40 third party games which are already on other systems at cheaper prices than they will be in switch 2.

Btw our finances are in the 200ks. We own our house. We have five switches. I can afford this. Maybe I’m just cheap.

But maybe the fact people are universally raising their eye brows and are on here saying I’m out is a sign that perhaps I’m not the only one. Maybe you’re right and everyone will buy it and it will sell like gang busters. Maybe I’m right and after the launch we have a 3DS situation on our hand. We shall see. But the comments in here are more negative than they have ever been and that means something. It’s one thing to pay once 70 for TOTK it’s another thing to start paying 80-90 for games regularly.

@coolioam hamster arcade archives 2 currently is switch 2 exclusive. The idea that I might be buying a switch 2 for classic arcade games because Nintendo showed a handful of 1st party games is absolutely wild.

Mario kart
Drag X drive
Donkey Kong
Zelda spin off

Am I missing something?

@Trikeboy trash games. Let’s be honest

@-wc- I don’t understand why they simply didn’t sell new hardware that was compatible with the joycons and the oled dock. Then you could have had 2 skews. One as a bundle with a dock and joy cons and the other with just the tablet.

Well my other option is a tv only switch 2. One bundled with a pro controller. Second skew just a tv switch 2 and you buy the accessories by themselves.

There’s a real problem here when the fan base thinks the company doesn’t owe its loyal fans anything. The answers in here to people complaining about the price is to get your money right, get another job, don’t buy it. Everyone has a price that they will walk away. If you keep letting companies use inflation this that or whatever to justify these things (some of them are legitimate) the company is going to double down and charge you more. Enjoy 100 games soon. That’s where we are heading if no onee complains. If people complain though often times they will back track. Anyways as a Nintendo fan I’ve spent 10s of thousands on this company and I could be ok with this price if there was also a switch 2 lite at launch.

@Cotillion yup. I never asked for a 120 fps screen. I don’t know what the use of that is. Didn’t ask for mouse controls. No idea why me on the couch needs that. Didn’t ask for Nintendo zoom multiplayer chat. I don’t need any of these things. Yet because it’s more the price is more. I’m sure there’s other random things I think that they added for no good reason other than to justify these prices.

@bluemage1989 wii u was Nintendos glory days. They had the same great content but were so far behind they had to practically beg people to buy their games by discount after discount after discount. Because of those discounts the users will ere having great vibes. It was great to be a Nintendo owner. Now we’re back to Nintendo thinking they’re Disney and we will pay anything. I’m not so sure I will be and I’ve had every Nintendo since the NES.

My other complaint with the price is that the switch was out for 8 years with zero price drop. They never sold the system at a loss and the last half of its existence it’s mad a lot of money as components got cheaper. Normally systems sell at a loss and then companies make back money on the games. Well I’m not sure if Nintendo is selling it at a loss but they sure are hellbent on making what lever loses back asap on the games. It all adds up

@BTB20 buy drag X drive instead. That will teach them.

@datamonkey I think a lot of people who will be buying them for their kid or kids are complaining about the price. Nintendo has always sold their consoles significantly less. If you’re a docked player add in a pro controller and this console is crazy expensive. I still see no reason why Nintendo needs to make its own hardware. Is something so essential about the hybrid system that the new donkey kong or Mario kart wouldn’t work there. No there isn’t.

Btw I have five switches in a lab party room. So five of every first party nintendo game that supports this set up. That’s a lot of money invested. I’m not poor. But these prices are PRICEY!

@Captain_Qwark_B-Job I agree it’s not all about graphics but as someone who plays almost exclusively docked it feels like a complete rip off to buy something that is essentially the power of a series s at series X price just to play Nintendo games.

I home switch 2 LITE is actually just switch 2 TV

@HotGoomba it didn’t need to be powerful to run this. The original switch could.

So these arcade archives games won’t be available on regular switch?

Charge for everything. Roll it into the service.

I really hate arogant Nintendo.

This thing is going to be a fortune.

@HatesCheese on the fourth release at full switch 2 game price it will surely be a 9/10. Maybe they should slap “Legacy Edition” somewhere on it.

Nintendolife 8/10

I absolutely hate this company that sells full remakes and sometimes trilogies ,not remasters, for what a traditional game costs.

@MrGawain sounds like Nintendos “Blue Ocean” strategy to be honest.

FIFA legacy edition 0/10. Justification…It’s the same game!!!And here we are with a Nintendo release at full price and sure why not 7/10. That makes sense.

@WaveBoy literally hate when they make terrible wallpaper instead of just having the black borders. The black borders make me love ACA. 62 games on my switch.

@John_Deacon they would have to be sold be 50% off to sell enough to catch up. That’s insane and no record is worth that to a company that won’t discount their games more than 33% off.

Everyone knows the new switch is on the way and this is a silly record that no one cares about minus the person who wants to have weird bragging rights.

Since I need four for my lab party room I’m going to hold off for a revision.

Currently 13% are smart people.

Nope nope nope

@FlyingDunsparce Nintendo fans will tell you to buy these games at their price so Nintendo can take the easy pay day to fund their big projects like breath of the wild. Seems like you have to buy a lot of over priced items to get one breath of the wild like game but what do I know. Oh I know not to spend my money on this.

@macaron35 there’s no way ea is patching this game. They want you to buy the newest model.

I can’t believe the 60fps game used to constantly get 3/10 reviews and here we are with 30fps review at 8/10. Who cares how many extra modes there are if the actual gameplay is sacrificed.

Didn’t they say the same thing about dlc, day one updates and mobile.

So they totally redid the game and charged the same price that Nintendo does for upscaling their titles. That’s nice.

Where’s the love hotels to celebrate

@NDK no way that is happening. Switch will be long out of production. They want the switch 2 money and they want to move as many people over there as fast as possible.

@Tanookduke they’re going to get rid of every last Nintendo system right before the switch 2 so they can ps5 pro the price out of it.

At these prices I will only be buying a switch 2 if there’s a tv only model at a reduced price.

Where is raiden dx hamster arcade archives.???

Wish capcom would let hamster release their games individually on arcade archives.

So if it’s on nes online could we not get it in nes championship edition?

So switch isn’t powerful enough to run this. That’s great.

All of that and no local wireless play.

People on here are crazy. They love Digital Foundry when they are complimentary to a switch game. But when games don’t translate well and digital foundry calls it out there’s a whole bunch of Nintendo fans saying it’s good enough and fans of DF are graphic whores.

I miss the 60fps 1080p legacy editions.

Once again a multiplayer option without local wireless play. That makes me sad because Bandai namco have been pretty good with that.

Really wish this game supported local wireless play!

@Kiyata in Canada the 4k UHd blu rays are $30-50 new but people can’t even sell them for $10 on marketplace. There are no buyers.

@Kiyata movies I guess have no future either. It’s not as if UHD 4K blu rays have taken off but streaming is everywhere.
