Switch 2 welcome tour being paid is the funniest gamming thing in a while

This has been an entertaining week

Nintendo saw people spending 800+ for ps5 during the shortage and said

I'm one of the Nintendo fans on here, but God damn it's a dumb decision not to offer it as a pack-in like they did with Wii Sports.

Part of what made Reggie Fils-Aime and Satoru Iwata great leaders is that they were consumer-minded and had a great understanding of how build loyalty to Nintendo as a brand. It was Reggie that pushed for Wii Sports to be included on the Wii; even Miyamoto fought him on it. He said "We're Nintendo. We don't give away our work for free." Fils-Aime said they had to push something that showed the potential of the Wii to non-gamers.

That decision was the single best decision the company had made since buying the Pokemon Company. Wii Sports turned the Wii into blockbuster.

I just don't know if there's a voice in their C-Suite that's taking that longterm perspective right now.

Knowing the japanese work culture of working till you drop dead and how isolationist Nintendo is, it wouldn't surprise me if most of the execs are 60+ japanese men that needed 3 gens to be convinced that in-game chat is a thing that gamers want.

Since Reggie left and Iwata passed away, there hasn't been that type of voice in the company since

This should've been free. No one is going to buy this nonsense. Their pricing strategy screams arrogance. I can see Sony and MS doing the same with increasing the price of games.

Prices bout to go insane

Voting matters

 

[Splash]

I'm sure they had a similar thing for the switch

Callin this a game is fukkin WILD tho

 

[Jx2]

Definitely the most flagrant move out of that whole Direct. Just nickel and dime-ing for the love of the game

BMW playbook shyt

Breh there's so much to take in with this Switch 2 announcement:

• The sorry ass price for Malibu Stacy with a hat treatment of the Switch 2
• Games being 80 dollars before GTA 6 launches
• The fact that you can use the JoyCons as a mouse, welcoming more drift and functional issues
• Giving back the 1080p screen when there are handhelds that are damn near going 4k route
• All the old ass games and nerf sports games that will be missing a ton of shyt because Switch 2
• Having to do this weird memory stick moving game download thin, instead of USING MICRO SD LIKE NORMAL fukkING PEOPLE
• Paid voice chat
• Lag being shown on the trailers

Breh Nintendo a different breed of finesse God.

Part of the Switch 2 tutorial is learning how to pay more for games than you should

Wintendo byke

Nintendo ain’t been on a winning streak since @teacher we leading the revolution

And since he got that check for $8M, Nintendo ain’t been the same

 

[ALonelyDad]

Nintendo confirms you will have to pay to use the Switch 2’s C button

Bill Trinen told us what happens when you press the C button without a subscription

You have to pay for the C button too, might be worst than paying for a tutorial

Well half of these are bullshyt.

Yeah, but remember when we thought 1-2 Switch would be free more recently?

That sold millions. The precedent was set and here we are. Now this game won't be more than $10-$15 depending on region, but it's still egregious.

Never seen anyone play 12 switch, never played it, never will

Game shouldve been included

Hell, look at what astros playroom did for sony, they were able to pivot the momentum from that into a standalone paid title that sold well and was critically adored
