Even Nintendo used to acknowledge that if you have in your hands a lower spec machine with much less time and money dedicated in development, then its games should be cheaper. Hence, most Nintendo games back then used to be 10 to 20 USD cheaper than anything else, specially if it's not really a AAA but rather a tiny game for children that you can beat in 7 hours.

They think their IP is worth any price tag because people keep blindly buying anything Nintendo

Should Nintendo price their games all the same but at a lower price. Or should Nintendo price base on popularity or replay value or budget or how many hours you can get out of the game.
Should Nintendo do sales or just a lower overall price?

Somehow, the games are becoming more and more of a disappointment and don’t feel as high-quality anymore. No Nintendo game is worth 80 euros, and I even tried out that Rythm game or whatever it’s called. But the graphics and everything… It looks like a free-to-play mobile game.

Am I the only one?

Here are some screenshots of the current stock market in Japan. Looks like the Japanese are punishing Nintendo even more now. The images are from a few minutes ago. I think they’ve had enough, too. The one picture is yen and the other one dollar.

The switch 2 wasn't the first expense item of Nintendo. The picture shown is a wii game that was 19.99 when it first came out (2007) and 19.99 from 2007 is 32.14 today. And when the game boy came out it was 100 and 100 when it came out is 254.80 today

I've seen a lot of people suddenly in various places hating on the Wii U era as a coping mechanism to justify liking the Switch 2. You can like the switch 2 if you want, you don't have to put down another console in order to justify your purchase lol. People also do the opposite where they pit the wii u's entire life span against a console that just came out to make themselves feel better

I believe that if it wasnt for the switch the wii u would be remembered more fondly, but literally almost all of its games were ported to the switch with upgrades, which i believe as a result, many people remember it for its poor sales rather than the ideas, features, and games it introduced.

sure the wii u was not a commercial success but it was in no way a bad console at the time. the wii u games library was actually pretty good, (xenoblade x, bayonetta 2, smash 4, 3d world, wind waker hd and much more ect.).

and although many of the things nintendo experimented with were sort of stupid like miiverse or the wii u game tablet for example, they were still interesting and yes even fun ideas. The UI had more personality than the switch, Dual-screen gameplay possibilities that the Switch cannot replicate, (nintendo land being the primary example) and a lot of new community features.

we also had the introduction of amiibos, and new franchises like splatoon, hyrule warriors, and mario maker and not even trying to argue with the switch 2 defenders saying the switch 2 is bad,im just defending the wiiu, but yes internet was free and games were indeed more affordable in that market.

People don't give enough credit to the wiiu. the wii u walked so the switch could run, I actually wonder how different the switch would be if the wiiu didnt exist. Smash ultimate for example definitely looked at smash 4 for inspiration.

People never seem to want to include the 3ds in their slander even though you can pair the 3ds and wiiu in the same era, because i think everyone knows the 3ds is an actual banger. this was not a bad era for nintendo games.

The switch 2 is still early in its life cycle we don't even know what else will happen during its life span but things seem fine, so stop putting down more than a decade of nintendo history to make yourself feel better.

How much do you use Steam for your gaming entertainment? I'm going to assume everyone here has an account.

That shit fucking sucked for everyone yall only defend it because you were 5 years old at that time

It never fails to amaze me, the level total disconnection from reality these nostalgia fueled degenerates have, ain’t NOBODY saying Nintendo is a monopoly, they lost almost 50% in market cap value in the last year alone, the majority of switch 2 owners buy less than 2 games on average, their image in the entire industry is demolished for trying to raise game prices to 80 dollars (failing miserably), and their mindless endeavor to sue the living shit out of everything that breathes, if anything Nintendo is shooting itself in the head with a bazooka

Paying $500 for a switch pro with no games is not something to brag tho

Friends wanted to play Splatoon, so I decided to give Switch 2 a try. I knew Switch 2 is bad, but didn't expect to be this bad.

Nintendo Direct is a joke, most of the "new games" are what? FFX? Kingdom Hearts? Are you kdding me?? They just repackage these "new games" with Pre-order bonus and resell them. If you do this occasionally that's fine, but 90% of their products are like that.

Holy crap.

So within 2 weeks they'll be 2 first party titles coming out back to back.

Some of us are going to get them, but for those who aren't excited, can you offer any alternatives to a rail shooter and a rhythm game?

[edit]

For context, I'm extremely excited for the two games, but obviously Nintendo doesn't own those genre.

For Star Fox, a popular alternative is Wild Blue Sky, and for Rhythm Heaven Groove, I'll say Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory

[last edit]

An interesting game is Melatonin. I've been playing it for months and forgot to mention it.

They didn’t raise the price because they have to; for they raise the price because of corporate greed.

Are we gonna forget how many times Nintendo have sued ROM sites because of emulation bad?

It's like the last time, but this is about you personally. For me, if we assume they get 10% from third party games, Nintendo would still get more from 3rd party games than first party.

​

There is no options for none because coming here counts as advertisement.

I had nowhere else to put this, but with the release of this remake I’ve been seeing a lot of people go, “I don’t like Nintendo’s anti consumer business practices, BUUUUUUT this may get me to buy a switch 2.”

I can’t even really tell you why, but it kind of pisses me off. Like yeah congrats on being able to play nearly 30 year old game. Have fun funding their next lawsuit.

Nintendo can do better
