Nintendo Switch 2 - For the Soytendo consoomers to speculate about the successor to the Switch, recently announced for 2025.

The "games were le more heckin' expensive in the 90s" narrative falls flat on its face when you remember there are lots of people alive that grew up in the 90s. I was a kid back then so I wasn't exactly reading Financial Times and checking stock trends, but I can recall my parents being able to afford at least one console and a good chunk of the games my ungrateful little ass begged them for, and they did it on a modest income. And I'll bet there's a decent chunk of you that have similar memories.

The missing piece of the puzzle here is that bankers hadn't raped the economy yet, so stuff was pricier but people also made more money. Doesn't compare to having stuff be as expensive when wagecucks can barely make a living.

@Buck Broken Chimp Another thing you're missing is that everyone is pissed at Jewtendo for leading the charge in game price hikes across the board.

I'm also expecting whatever troon emulator put out to be able to emulate the Switch 2 easily on a SD like it can now with Switch 1.

re: vidya price sperging

Most people bought their vidya secondhand in the 90s or rented it. Sometimes we'd get a full release at launch but it had to be something really cool, like Killer Instinct with the included CD.

I also remember PLAYER'S CHOICE reprinting old titles like a year after launch if they sold well. It's how I finally got Super Mario Kart and Donkey Kong Country. It was also the time where you could get 10 copies of Super Mario Bros + Duck Hunt for $1. Nintendo doesn't discount their stuff, the used game market for Switch games is relatively expensive, and paying $90 for Mario Kart with most of the stuff in "the cloud" isn't appealing to people who want to buy physical games; at least with PS5 discs you have a disc, even if it's a pallet of copies of Concord.

This is actual bad news.

Wonder if my Switch controllers (with Hall) will work right. Probably. I will find out either way.

It's a bit confusing because apparently some people at the recent Switch 2 event are saying the sticks feel like they have hall effect. They might still be using similar tech, which would be a very Nintendo thing to do.

Which ones do you have? I’m happy to hear that my pro controller works with the switch 2, just not waking the console(wtf nintendo). And we bought my oldest daughter a Eevee themed Hori joycon controller. Big fan of how it feels that i might buy the Hori steam controller
