I don't think anyone is using the PS5 as a comparison point for the Switch 2.

After that Cyberpunk 2077 video they are, twitter is full of these crazies.

Another revision down the road to milk their customers.webp


Another revision down the road to milk the day one buy nintendo fanboys :story:

I still cannot get over the fact that Nintendo is charging eighty dollars for fucking Mario Kart of all things. If they had made a Zelda game with graphics on par with horizon dawn I would understand. But no, they think the stupid kart racer is worth 80 dollars. Nintendo's brazen greed this generation has completely killed my enthusiasm for their games.

But it's open world and you can play as a goomba! That's worth at least $150. Nintendo's giving you a great deal. :biggrin:

It should have been OLED to begin with. But they know Nintendrones will plunk down another $450 for a revision.

You say that. But nintendo has the power of FOMO, marketing, and retarded fanboys.

That is pretty powerful... then again, economic collapse, shitty internet, and 70-90 dollar games that I have no interest in work as a perfect counter weight to all that. Like a shield bouncing all the bullshit consumerism Goytendo throws my way off and into the pleb gutter. And I genuinely don't think I could stomach another open world ubisoft Zelda game dumped on my lap after 6/7 years. The bile in my throat would burn a hole right through it. There isn't a single """"service"""" Nintendo is offering that I want, and since they are making Prime 4 multiplat to recoup the cost of its hell development cycle - I can just play that on Switch. I wish god speed to the emulators.

It probably won't reach Switch's sales given the price, shitty economy, and lack of novelty, but I can't imagine it will do as bad as the Wii U. The Wii U had some unique problems with its fucked up marketing, there was more direct competition from PlayStation and Xbox at the time, and Nintendo consoomerism wasn't as big at the time. The Switch feels like it turned a lot of people into the vidya version of Disney adults who will buy up anything Nintendo because they consider it a part of their identity. At worst, I predict the Switch 2 will sell a lot at first then taper off into uncomfortably mediocre sales until a game that really hypes people is released (Mario Kart isn't that. It sells a lot, but I think it's a more casual seller that people will buy once they have a console, rather than buy a console just to play it).

The big reasons for why the Wii U was such a disaster was that Nintendo were trying to recapture a market that wasn't there anymore (i.e. boomers who bought the Wii and played it once), nobody knew what the thing was (most people assumed it was an add-on for the Wii prior to release) and the console had next to no games for over a year. In contrast, the Switch has maintained a dedicated audience of people who play video games, the Switch 2 markets itself very clearly and there are actual games that will be on the console from day 1. They're gonna be fine.

On a side note, I've never understood why so many Nintendo fans/haters bitch about the power of these consoles. The main selling point of Nintendo consoles has always been the ability to play Nintendo games, which is doing wonders for them in the current year when every other big release is cross-platform. Aside from Rockstar I can't think of another prominent game developer whose games generate the levels of hype and enthusiasm that Nintendo do. They're one of the few current devs who are putting out games that people actually want to play, which is something that consumers are willing to pay top dollar for.

I really want Nintendo to fall on their ass with all of the anti-consumer shit they've been pulling, but it's just not gonna happen. The way that people lost their minds over Nintendo adding 20 year old games to a platform that they should have been on years ago is proof enough to me that the goyboy golems are ready and willing to be pigeonholed into Nintendo's shitty nightmare ecosystem.

Because 90% of Switch games released over the past half decade are shitty looking ports that run better on a Steam Deck. Even some of their first party games in recent years like Pokemon SwShit, Shartlet and Violet, and Xenoblade X all run like hot ass. Most of the games shown off in the Switch 2 direct were third party ports of old games and they all ran like shit. Voice chat as a console gimmick is retarded because we already had stoners hotmicing their stress sessions in PS5 game lobbies like Helldivers, it's not some ground breaking new idea. The only thing Nintendo can lean into to sell this turd of a console is its power and its ability to run games at an acceptable performance. If it's not running Xenoblade X at 60fps then I have no reason to upgrade.

It kills me they thought a literal expansion pack for Breath of the Wild was worth $70. The writing was on the wall then and now we got $80 Mario Kart.

Nintendo have always been the more expensive, and games rarely go down in price. Now the switch2 also have the price point of a PS5.

If you have not been following what is going on, this video sums it up very nicely.

Hey stop throwing shade at Mario Kart. It is awesome. Mario Kart is the patrician's choice. If you are going to be price gouged, Mario Kart is the choice!!

AWOOOO~~

I think the main reason is that fanboys behaving as if Nintendo has actually been part of the console wars for the last decade, rather than essentially rage quitting the gaming industry and only making shitboxes sustained by people's nostalgia to 30 year old IPs.

I think the Wii U situation was unique. Nintendo courted a new market that only cared about the Wii and when Nintendo didn't cater exclusively to them, they left. It's why the "Is this a Wii accessory" was dumb yet real. Yeah, low information Grandma who doesn't keep up with gaming news would probably not realize the Wii U is a system and not just the tablet. There will never be a flop like Wii U. There CAN be a flop like the 3DSS and I think it's pretty likely.

I think people are underestimating how much of an impact the price is. Despite what Industry Analyst say, $70 has absolutely killed the big publishers. Nothing sells well anymore. Every sequel to a big title that was a $60 game has done way worse. Monster Hunter Wild has sold half of World and it's in a massive decline (given Steam charts). Spiderman 2 sold like half of the first game (which was a 20 million seller). Now DOOM is flopping with worse numbers than Dragon Age. No controversy. No woke shit. Yet no one is buying it. Even Elden Ring, which was a big hit, sold more on Steam where it's only $60. I think Nintendo doesn't realize how much of an impact $70 and $80 games will have. Mario Kart sales will likely fall off a cliff after release and once they go through the bundle.

I bought totk day one when it released, I expected A LOT more than what I got. Fun fact, the underground map is just an inverted model of the over world map. There's even an inverted waterfall somewhere in it, they didn't bother editing it out when they flipped the model, I can't find a photo of it though. Nintendo has gotten both greedy and lazy these days

You know, I remember a castlevania game doing something similar

Except that game was fun.
