Looks cool! 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.
I'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.
> I'm sure it'll be fun, but I'm not thrilled about Nintendo bumping the price up to $80. At that point you can live a perfectly happy life only playing games that are years old and buying them deeply discounted or second hands for peanuts. It’s a mystery to me who spends 80 bucks on a game which is approximately the same than the previous one itself the same than the one before.

Nowadays a game from 4 years ago looks ~about the same as a current one, might have the same gameplay, and doesn’t suffer as much from the constant progress in monetization strategies. Plus you know if a community will grow around it. And, relatedly, mod support has developed if it ever will.
The only reason to play a game that just came out is if you are into a specific pseudo-competitive scene; the “recently released matchmaking game” genre (and, it should also be noted that this isn’t the real pro-competitive scene, that’s MOBAs and Counterstrike).

$80 today is still cheaper than paying $60 a couple decades ago. https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm Also games have only become more expensive to make since then and gamer expectations have only increased.

Does the price have to do w/ tariffs?
No 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.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

There's rumors that Nintendo is flooding the retailers with Switch 2 units, will be interesting to see if they sell out this time/how much the demand is.

As a counterpoint: I'd be irritated if I had to pay for anything physical with a game I'm buying. I'd perceive it as a waste of money and want a cheaper digital only version.
