Nintendo Switch (Currently Plagued) - Here we shit post about the new Nintendo console, The Switch

[Danann]

any of them add the words "or we will not buy the console?" if not, this is worthless

Absolutely not, they're gonna buy the console no matter what.

Currently trying to figure out where the pants pissing outrage going on now was at when games jumped to $70, the latest Pokemon games did high profit for all time low effort and the PS5 introduced paid upgrades, am I really surrounded by this many heads of cattle that just ignored the frog boil going on for five years and chose to have a farting seizure over Mario Kart

covid kinda set the standards really fucking low for people which made consumer culture grow like crazy, companies expected it to remain that way post pandemic, needless to say, it has at best stagnated because people have jobs and shit now again
>the intermission in stream are advertising for nintendo music

"Pay $450+ to play old games in worse quality, goy"

 

[Dr. Ricearoni]

Is this the real reason they're going to keep supporting switch 1? Not the install base but because they know it's gonna take a while to get people used to the price? That's kinda really disappointing.

I'm am very annoyed that Bloodbourne 2 is going to be exclusive to Switch 2.

 

[Spaced Outside Cargo]

I dont really see many children with Switches these days. Mostly ipads. The only demographic I really see whaling for Nintendo are grown ass adults on welfare and disability. I dont think they can afford this shit so idk what Nintendo was thinking with the pricing.

It's a multiplayer game, if that makes you feel better.

I'm kind of shocked they're able to get them to run at 30 at all.

These are the true outrages:

• Region locking
• Many indispensable games like Dig Dug and Pac-land not currently backwards compatible
• Cripples in the future have full-body power armor that enhances their abilities tenfold, but they won't give them working robo-legs or motorized wheelchairs because that would literally erase the differently-abled or something

I've been noticing during the Treehouse stream that they're spamming "Drop the Prices!" over and over, so its pretty clear that almost everyone is pissed over this price hike.

I do wonder if they'll back track on the game prices. Think of how grateful Nintendo fans would be to "only" pay $70 now.

I just don't see it, it's like Pandora's box, once you go up people will just be expecting it like an abusive spouse slapping their wife.
only thing I can see is maybe they make "free dlc" for the 80 dollar inital price but then make a lesser 70 dollar one that doesn't have the season pass shit in it, but i don't expect them to play ball with that

Although I'm not interested in playing the game, I like that it might make Souls fans suffer.

Here a link to the article.

And I think this is the video the article mentioned I don't really know.

 

[whatever I feel like]

Reading famiboards (unlocked now) they said a few things from the stream that this thread doesn't seem to have realized yet.

Not all Switch games have a paid upgrade, some just run better.
DK has the ability to just smash through dirt wherever it is. Sounds like an Odyssey-type experience for him.
Treehouse chat getting spammed with "drop the price" chants.

 

[The Cheese Aisle]

Alright, then tell me where I can download a Switch 2 emulator. I'll wait.

Besides the fact that this is a shitty argument (of course there isn't a Switch 2 emulator before launch, you mong), I'm not here to try to convince you not to waste your money, I don't fucking care. I'm just pointing out the rationale of myself and other posters who aren't garbling corporate cock and still have dopamine receptors intact enough to not do so.

 

[The Cheese Aisle]

"A Switch 2 emulator might take years!!1!" Ok? And? The alternative is being a niggercattle. Double post because I have a big cock.

 

[Calandrino]

Not all Switch games have a paid upgrade, some just run better.

I kinda just assumed that. I figured/hoped that every rando game with performance or loading time issues might get a little boost. But if a game's locked to a certain framerate or something, that's a patch at minimum, and not necessarily an easy fix for the programmers.

- Circana estimate 4.3 million Switch 2 sales in the US by the end of the year
- Wedbush’s Michael Pachter predicts Switch 2 will shift 18 million units globally by June 2026
- Niko Partners anticipates 14.5 million shipments by the end of 2025.
- Ampere believe the global sell-through will reach 13 million units this year, rising to 31 million by the end of 2026.

That’s what they’ve done with all their consoles. Even the U still got a few games.

That’s what they’ve done with all their consoles. Even the U still got a few games.

It varies between systems, but the old one is general supported for about six months max after the new one is out. The only noteworthy exceptions are NES, Super Famicom (in Japan specifically), and all the handhelds. The Wii U in particular got its last first party game (excluding BotW) a few months before the Switch released, and even ended production before the Switch.

 

[whatever I feel like]

They will continue to make Switch 1 games until people stop buying them. I think it could easily surpass the 3DS's "after-life support" given that titles will be forward-compatible in a way that 3DS games weren't able to be.
