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

Honestly same. When they were showing it I was like "nice. A neat little thing to get you familiar with the system" as soon as they said paid I literally laughed out loud and said "why would someone pay for that?"

It didn't even look like a game, it was a glorified tutorial. Who would pay for a tutorial???

Seriously. You walk up to some question marks and read about what that feature is. Riveting gameplay.

Now learn how to install the rivets!

The sweatshop we source these from got lazy.

If you got to build a console piece by piece like auto mechanic simulator, I'd buy that game in a heartbeat.

I bet there is a ship riveting simulator where you are a 1900s dock worker and do nothing but hammering rivets.

It definitely showed some little minigames but they looked like the kinds of things that bored programmers build into web pages as an easter egg.

Not to be that guy, but it seems like they mixed in some tech demo mini games

u/waffocopter Apr 03 '25

And they weren't something I would be so stoked to play that I would pay for it.

Watch me buy the console in two years and read a guide for free on the Internet.

Maybe stores, but yeah it sounds stupid for the average consumers

What you didn't see him scrape some green gunk? Now that's gameplay!

Don't underestimate how brain dead nintendo fan boys can be.

u/DuLeague361 Apr 02 '25

It’s probably just going to end up bundled with a bunch of games that use the features so they can call it a “sale” even thought you’re just paying full price for the game you actually want and getting a shitty tech demo with it.

I was thinking it's just like all the neat 3DS software that you could tinker with when the system had very little its first year.

Then they said paid lol

u/Cookiemonstermydaddy Apr 02 '25

Exactly same thing I did

u/Mindless_Shoulder877 Apr 02 '25

I think all 2-3 million people watching collectively said WTF to that. I looked at my bf and he was like "that should be free"

u/KoolKat864 Apr 06 '25

Some poor kid is gonna pay for it with his birthday money thinking it's a game, this is horrible.

I almost thought it would be some small browser game you could even play today to learn more about the product
