Will wait for a new Zelda game before diving into getting a Switch 2.

I feel like this is the sentiment I hear from most friends. But then the preorders sell out every time. I’m confused who is buying all these switches, but perhaps my local network isn’t a representative sample.

#5I'm sure it'll be fun, but I'm not thrilled about Nintendo bumping the price up to $80 even before paid DLCs inevitably get added on top. Plus if the last Mario Kart is any indication then the price will barely get reduced over the entire lifecycle of the Switch 2.

#6I wonder if it will be fun.
The open world Zelda game kinda made sense to me because those games have always been pretty open. You could always wander around. When I was a kid, I played Ocarina of Time as an open world game, I just wandered around and made up the NPC interactions in my head. And the 2D entries in the series had pretty big worlds.
Anyway, it’ll be interesting to see if the trick can repeat outside that context. The open world Pokemon was pretty bad, but that series has been resting on its laurels for longer than most of the players have been alive.

#7No video game will ever get 80+ bucks from me without a physical book/guide or statue/figure.
Need for Speed Underground changed to an open world with the second release and I hated everything about it.

$80 today is still cheaper than paying $60 a couple decades ago.

Also games have only become more expensive to make since then and gamer expectations have only increased.

The Forza Horizon series are open world car games, and they are very fun and effective.
