We’re only paying a measly $70 for the Switch 2 version. Just get a third job and be grateful for the opportunity to purchase the DLC at $20. Then you can use the last of your hundred dollar bill for that one tech demo game!

I’ve been a huge Zelda fan since I was a kid, but I played BotW in 2016 and found it playable, but way overrated. Not a 10/10 masterpiece, more like 8/10. I have yet to even bother with TotK. I am also a huge Metroid fan, but Prime 4 seems like just more of the same.

After playing both KCD and KCD2, for example, Zelda games just seem lacking in depth in comparison. I don’t know, maybe Nintendo is past their prime—either that, or I’ve just played too many of their games and am bored of them now.

The fact that they seem to be screwing the pooch with their latest console maybe means they’ll stop being arrogant and lower their prices, but I’ll be emulating their games only from now on anyway.

I got a hunch that the team behind prepping the game for new hardware just didn't have enough time to polish the port for DLC as well.

The outrageous prices are provably set by sales and/ or upper management anyway.

I kind of don't get the urge for buying BotW on switch 2 if you alredy have it on original. Why not save your money on new games to play that are coming for thw system?

Morons will still throw cash at them.

I get the feeling the Switch 2 is gonna be the Wii U with stories like this.

The more Nintendo talks, the worst it gets.

Average Nintendo moment.

This isn't even industry standard - charging $10 to "upgrade" a game, yes, but as far as I can remember the DLC is always included with the game at the base game price when it's been out for a while.

I hope Nintendo's extreme arrogance and greed bites them in the ass. Will probably have to wait a year or so after launch to know since I'm sure it will take that long to get Switch 2s to all the diehards with money to burn. I'll be interested to see how it sells to everyone else.

LOL that's actually despicable

Ya not sure if I'll ever get a switch 2. I played the living shit out of my switch 1. Easily was my favourite console... Until I got a steam deck. Instantly I have over 1,000 games purchased already and a hefty percentage of them playable.

...not to mention the switch games that are still sitting on my shelf that I just play on here instead.

I've never rapidly lost so much interest in an electronic as fast as the switch 2 reveal to seeing the game prices a few hours later

I think Nintendo thinks they have so much nostalgia, and loyal customers, that this generation they really said "fuck it" and are twisting the knife to see how much the consumer will tolerate. I'm not going to be surprised if we see price drops and actual sales (not 10 bucks off a 5 year old game like they usually do) by the time holidays role around. I don't think they are anticipating the pushback that is happening.

Nintendo's really making it easier and easier to not buy the $500 Metroid Prime mouse control box.

Don't worry. Super fans will still defend it. They've been using the "but but but but" strategy lately

The day, the Mario died.

cant think of another high profile old game re-releasing on new system that would sell the games dlcs seperately lol
