Don't give Nintendo your money. As a company they have nothing but contempt for gamer freedoms. Yes I understand they playtest the fuck out of their titles so they're genuinely bug-free and frictionless, but as a former fanboy that doesn't give them the right to rip off customers and overcharge for everything and make more stupid walled gardens to hold you captive.

Why are your prices in the title and post completely different?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but are you saying that the JPN Zelda Switch 2 is region locked? Or are all the Zelda Switch 2's region locked to their specific region? I was thinking of buying the special edition, but I usually buy game cards from EU, NA and Asian markets so I probably wouldn't be able to port my SW1 library.

As cool as it looks... No. Now that many of their game cartridges are basically empty download keys I see no reason to buy something I can't truly own anymore. The Switch and PS4 were the last mainstream consoles I'll ever buy. RIP physical media.

I'd consider it if a friend would take my current S2. If Not, I'm Not mad. But I do think about the controller a Lot.

It's tempting. I really would love a zelda swtich 2, but not sure if I'll have that much money to put to it then.

A$800 is a big ask. Increasingly, I feel like maximising value of what I already own, rather than buying new stuff
