Nintendo Confirms $90 Price-Tag For Full 'Breath Of The Wild' Switch 2 Experience As DLC NOT Included In Upgraded Edition
Nintendo's absurd pricing continues with the confirmation that the Switch 2 release of 'Breath of the Wild' will NOT include its DLC.
And should GTA VI get away with charging $100 for a game with potentially additional subscription fees, Nintendo and the rest will follow.
GTA VI is ghetto slop, though.
It enshrines ghetto culture and contributes to the elevation of street/prison culture to the mainstream. Similar to the Fast and Furious franchise, MTV, rap music and the list goes on.
It's garbage tier and that's why that 100 dollar price tag is probably going to work, because the lowest common denominator will seek to get the thing that is sought after. Like trashy Nike sneakers or whatever fashion trend is en vogue now-a-days.
If they push the cost of the game too hard, I bet a sudden surge of copies of the game magicly falling off of trucks is gonna skyrocket.
People are spending 3k on video cards..
People are also spending money on Ferrarris.
People are spending 3k on AI cards that happen to be able to output video too.
GPU's at least have practical applications beyond gaming.
And GTA6 will be half off in 3-4 years. Nintendo games never go on deep sale.
Base GTA is just a vehicle to upsell fake shark money to kids anyway.
Pirating Nintendo games is becoming a moral imperative.
They make it so easy to do it almost feels like they are subtly telling you to do it.
Like, I have to work for most other emulators. Whereas it takes as long as it does to download to have Dolphin or Citra up.
It's the choice between feeding your 'cat baby' or going without your precious current thing cons00mer console.
Or just buy a used copy of the 2017 version for ~35$. Or hoist the black flag for free.
What else do manchild Nintendo soybeings have to spend money on? Craft beer and dog treats?
I find it very telling, that they used to include new stuff to make re-releases worth getting. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe having all the original 8's DLC, the New Funky Mode in Tropical Freeze, Bowser's Fury, etc. And now they're expecting you to pay full price+ just for the original content. It's absurd!
When the fanboys show they'll buy literally anything, why bother?
They might as well be simping on Nintendo's Onlyfans account: just shelling out cash to see the same old thing every new post.
I honestly don’t blame Nintendo. Have you seen how their competition is doing? Xbox is basically dead and as a 3rd party publisher, Microsoft is a joke. PlayStation is just full of overrated, budget-bloated slop.
What incentive is there for Nintendo to try? PC gaming aside, the alternatives are pretty trash.
I wonder if the new guy at the helm being wholly a finance bro has anything to do with these decisions.
No one is really even competition anymore. Xbox is almost all Gamepass, aka PC, and Sony releases basically all their games on Steam soon enough anyway.
Nintendo holds a near monopoly right now.
Nintendo did not learn their lesson from Wii U
Or the 3DS release price, which they had to cut by 32% ( $250 -> $170 ) because sales were so bad.
Consoomer moment
Absolute soyim
Nintendo wants over CAD$700 for the console without a game, so $800 with one game. Each game will be near or over 100 canadino dolars.
Sounds like a case off ''if you cut the price by 25%, you would increase your profits''.
Just wait for the inevitable emulators that will come out.
80%+ of Switch games can already be emulated on PC ( often with a better frame rate ). The development of the main emulators was stopped, but their last versions are still easy to find.
You don't need to consoome the freshly-released game now. Play something from the thousands of great games and in 1 / 2 / 3 years, there will likely be some $250 retro-handheld console made in China that will emulate Switch2 games.
They don't give a fuck about foreing copyrights, they straight-up sell consoles with a microSD card loaded with thousands of games.
The only console that has a format that isn't easily emulated is the 3DS/DS because of screens disposition.
And even then, a small / medium tablet in vertical mode with a strap-on controler with Drastick ( DS ) and Citra ( 3DS ) will do the job. ( won't fold to fit in your pocket though ).
P.S. : If you have a 3DS gathering dust in a box somewhere, mod it and install whatever you want on it following the 3ds.hacks.guide tutorial.
Fucking die already nintendont. You are the worst console company. At least Sony doesn't pretend like they are good. Mind you, consoles blow ass in the first place.
They've consistently been the only console company worth a damn for decades. Everyone else was only ever a shitty PC vendor.
Sony was half decent until the PS4.
What did Sony offer that a PC didn't?
The same thing all consoles did. Exclusive games that just worked. No troubleshooting, no settings tweaking, no "will this work on this version of Windows/Direct X/ etc.?" Every game for that console worked on that console.
Its values was simplicity and exclusive games. Unfortunately they made their games more and more troublesome to get running (by trying to make every console a multipurpose family center) while PC made theirs more seamless, and then the exclusives got fewer.
Predictable. That's not a selling point, I'm sorry.
That one I'll give you, but that was every console. However: Final Fantasy XI. Anyone who has ever had to set up a Play Online account knows exactly what I'm alluding to.
Why, because its the truth? If you wanted to play X game you needed Y console. That was the basic formula. You asked what they did that PC didn't, and that was "played Mario." That doesn't mean they were worth it, that was just the deal.
Its literally by definition a selling point, because its what sold the consoles in the first place.
And nearly every console had that functionality. You picked your flavor from the exclusives category, and boom it was there.
One of the downfalls of consoles as a dominant force was them aping PC, leaving them as just worse PCs. "Online gaming" was one of the first forays into this, and its what opened the door for "will finish later with patches" taking away that "it just worked" functionality, as well as the much slower and overall less capable system because it was constantly running an online OS in the background instead of entirely focusing on the game.
You can believe that's a good thing. I won't argue with you on it, but consoles trying to become PCs is why they died/are dying. Because the PC will always do it better. And they forgot the things they did well in the process. From "installing" games for hours after you got home to trying to be an "all purpose machine."
No, because it's the only thing anyone can ever come up with and it's completely artificial. But please, go on and tell me how these mystical exclusive titles can only be experienced on the Playstation while they keep popping up in my Steam queue a few years later on. The Playstation itself offers nothing beyond artificial restriction of access. Nintendo by contrast has a storied history of at least attempting to make innovations with its hardware that the PC platform didn't yet offer, such as the Virtual Boy being the precursor to the Occulus and other VR platforms decades ahead of the curve, or the N64 rumble pack introducing controller feedback before it became the defacto standard. Love it or hate it, the Wii motion controls are difficult to replicate without the equivalent hardware and changed up control schemes and game design choices significantly.
I'll agree that plugging consoles into the internet was a net negative.
That's a different question from consoles turning into shitty PCs. At the time it had better default controllers for the games. More hardware and better performance for less cost than a similar PC. The PS3 had a better balance with it's online features compared to the xbox360 or later consoles.
nintendo of america and nintendo of europe are now gone rogue and are to be considered at the same level of 2018 soyny
