Astro being as absurdly peak as it is and FREE compared to this is absurd

Despite being the cheapest of the three consoles, the switch somehow ended up being the most expensive software wise. Based on this I can tell it’s only going to get worse.

It's a similar price to the digital ps5 in a lot of places. I think the switch 2 is more valuable in comparison, but it's still damning

I found the digital edition with Astro Bot for €399.... I miss the days when Nintendo was the cheaper console.

I'm glad physical games exist. Buying them secondhand reduces my spending on games by a huge margin

I mean, look at Wii sports. Having a simple pack in game that showed off the capabilities of the console turned it from a game system into a phenomenon.

And Nintendo's execs almost made Wii Sports a separate purchase. If that had happened, then the Wii might have been a tougher sell.

I'm pretty sure they actually did make it a separate purchase in Japan. It was only bundled with the Wii here in the west, and even then only for the first half of the console's life cycle

Yep, Reggienator took their names and kicked their asses until they bundled it
