Games

I like how there's so many fees on this console that we haven't even gotten to the $50 skype webcam accessory which they spent a solid third of their direct showing off.

I miss the DS era :/

EDIT:

I also want to point out this: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/05/reggie-had-to-fight-for-wii-sports-as-a-pack-in-and-miyamoto-wasnt-happy

Fils-Aimé pushed for the bundle, and initially company President Satoru Iwata turned the proposal down: "Nintendo does not give away precious content for free."

"Neither of you understands the challenges of creating software that people love to play. This is something we constantly push ourselves to do. We do not give away our software," Mr. Miyamoto stated.

It's ironic that with the success of Wii sports, Nintendo completely ignored the lesson.

$10 is the "go fuck yourself" price for things that would otherwise be free.

You've already spent $450 on the console, $90 on a game, and $50 for the full online subscription. What's $10 more dollars for the welcome demo? Go fuck yourself, pay the plumber man.

“Because fuck you!” -Nintendo

I'd rather pay for a large pizza tutorial. And eat it.

I was on the fence about Switch 2, leaning toward not getting one. This just solidified that position. No way I’m paying for something that charges for the instruction manual.

Nintendo explain: " It's not free... we want your money... all of it"

It should be free

I feel like they're trolling us at this point. There's no way they're this stupid.

So it's a $10 tutorial? Don't care how expansive and cool it is, that's just fucked. The project scope should've been adjusted to make sure it would be free.

“We're greedy shits,” Trinen said. “The holes in our souls are bottomless and we hate our customers."

Makes sense, but if it's only $10 it should just be free. $10 isn't worth the bad PR and they should want this tour thing in as many hands as possible.

This is one of the dumber decisions Nintendo has made, and they put out the Wii U.

There isn’t one reason they could give that would ever justify this for the consumer. Absolutely unacceptable and anti consumer.

"Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is described as a "virtual exhibition" of the new hardware. Per Nintendo: "through tech demos, minigames and other interactions, players will get to know the new system inside and out in ways they may never have known about otherwise."

So its basically just something that goes on about how great and wonderful switch is? And they want you to pay for it? This is so stupid I'm not sure if its even anti consumer anymore but somehow managed to go beyond to new levels of awfulness.

Damn, Nintendo is such a crap company... What the heck is wrong with them?

“Nintendo thinks very little of the intelligence of their customers”

I think this money grab wouldn't have gotten as much run in the media if it hadn't been front and center in the Direct. Feels like a misstep, but then, so does €90 Mario Kart...

For 10 bucks, it better have a button combination that unlocks Mario Paint 2.

I haven't seen a damn thing in the marketing that justifies it being anything other than free. If it's worth 10 bucks, you better show that shit off. The audacity to call it "welcome tour" with a $10 price tag is wild

This demo/manual and the driving basketball game should be included in the system.

Think back to the 3ds with head wars and AR games, no way I'm buying such games but having them makes the system a bit more valuable.

The more Nintendo talks, the worst it gets.

I jumped ship from Switch to handheld pc. The pc game prices was a big part, especially older games don't hold value. For example I got Middle Earth shadow of war for like $6. I still sometimes miss my switch but I will definitely wait a while before I decide on a switch 2.

TLDR: They're greedy Bastards
