I'm finally starting see used Switch 2s going for $100 off the msrp price so it's finally becoming reasonable to buy a switch 2 used

For those keeping track at home, the "revised price" is the same as the original price for a bundle (that is, a Switch 2 with ONE game).

I think I already made this joke for Microsoft, but whatever:

>”Everyone else is raising their hardware prices, leaving Nintendo in a unique position to win back the family market with an affordable console. And with the Switch’s lifetime sales extremely close to surpassing the PS2’s re-re-re-“adjusted” sales, it’s more important than ever that we keep momentum strong for the Switch 1-“
<“RAISE THE FUCKING NINE YEAR OLD CONSOLE’S PRICE NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Revised price for US/Canada doesn't come into effect until September. Sales have been strong in Japan, but weaker than expected in North America. I wonder if announcing a price increase this far out is an attempt to spur North American sales.

I'd just like to remind you that Sony had four whole price hikes by this point, five if you count the one they did to refurb'ed PS5s by the time this one happened, not to mention how hike happy Microsoft was with the Xbox Series X/S and Game Pass with price hikes it seems more like a miracle Nintendo held out as long as they did in regard to the Switch 2.

If anything, we should be grateful it's only going up as much as it is. God bless Nintendo.

Not exactly, as well... they could have done this a whole lot sooner, maybe even had it start at the $499 price tag to begin with, I'm guessing besides investors crying about it, it has to do with AI and the current economy, as we just have to look at how well RAM prices are doing where even now they still haven't gone down to before ChatGPT shook the world with that deal that didn't go through.

oh wait, Sony and Nintendo are already are blaming it on RAM as I was typing this

AI has given every tech company a get out of jail free card but not in the same way. While most tech companies just use AI as a buzzword to sucker in investors, it also means everyone who opps out gets a playbook too. All underperformances will be met with the same “wait it out” strategy. Hoping the bubble pops and chip makers will be forced to the table. It’s a Cold War where the buyers lose unless they themselves take an autistic pro or anti AI stance

At least give us a new level pack of that. That's what I'm most pissed about, same 30 year old levels with no changes.

ngl, it did dampen my buzz to see that all the gameplay footage so far matches SF64 almost 1:1. I don't ask for much, but they could give us a little.

Even so, every one of the people pretending that e.g. SF SNES and SF 64 are basically the same game would shove their own parents into a vat of acid to get game #278 where Link gets 8 items from 8 dungeons and saves Zelda from Ganon with the master sword, So I really believe the complaints are chiefly rooted in Nintendo ruining their furry pr0n.

Yeah really. I am on board for Nintendo adding new levels to some of their old games instead of making new ones. Fuck it. Add more to Star Fox 64. Add another mansion to Luigi's Mansion. Make Earthbound a real video game.

But I get why that won't happen. So just remake Star Fox again. No on-foot missions. Don't fuck up Forever Train.

I figured if Star Fox ever got dragged out of its tomb, it would be for some multiplayer online bastard child of SF Command and Fortnite with twink furry males and tranny-coded furry ladies, and probably not even on rails. So this is a neat and heartwarming surprise. Look, there's a little "lives" counter in the corner, to pad the game with artificial difficulty! Suck it, every YouTube game theory guy.
