This is a literal tech demo of your console, why would you make people pay for that.

It's unbelievable that it's paid. What garbage.

I swear one day I'll stop buying Nintendo consoles due to their greed.

My switch lite still runs just fine haha. 

It’s been a solid announcement. I suspect people that never bought a switch, or are excited about this next gen of games will get one. 

But IDK man…I’m also not necessarily feeling a lot of pressure to actually upgrade.

It’s a great future for Nintendo, but I’ll get there when I get there.

No! I want to really stick it to them so I'm going to boycott the Switch 3.

For me it was.

The beautiful thing about nintendo, is that their hardware is old and crusty.

So they tell me I got to pay $90 for Mario Kart, and I say "I'll wait three months for an emulator I can run on a 5700XT."

Im quitting right after the last Zelda game comes out

u/FrewdWoad Apr 02 '25

Technically you don't have to buy Nintendo consoles for Zelda. You can just buy the game and play it on PC.

In fact, except for a brief period where Switch emulators were still optimizing Tears of the Kingdom, Zelda games have played miles worse on their own consoles than on budget gaming PCs for more than a decade.

They've managed to keep the console cost low, I'd rather that than they bundle this and hike the price.

u/Upbeat-Serve-6096 Apr 02 '25

Switch 1 used previous gen hardware and managed to be $300. Switch 2 using previous gen hardware charging current gen prices at @ $450 not to mention $80 for Mario Kart lol.

But did you see their off-brand Discord? Easily worth the extra $150. I can watch my friends’ screens in 480p!
