$90?
Shit.
Metroid Prime 4 and The Duskbloods don't sound perfect after all

I bought the first switch thinking I'd play it way more. But those prices that basically never go down, and paying way more for games than I could get them on steam.
Nah. I have a deck and it feels better in my hands, looks better, and I don't get charged out the ass for games that have been out for near a decade.

Given how much better ToTK would’ve been on pc and how that is the reason they killed emulation, I’m pissed at Nintendo.

Nuck Findendo. They’re assholes who kick the ladder out from underneath them
The fact that Nintendo is well known for not lowering their game prices this could very well price them out from competition.
Hopefully game reviewers will heighten their expectations to meet these inflated prices.
Have you met Nintendo fanboys? They're going to defend this shit like MAGAt republicans defend their Cheeto coloured Jesus.

On the one hand, with rising inflation and skyrocketing development costs, I can totally understand why game prices are getting dangerously close to the triple digits. Games rn are cheaper that they ever were ~~yeet~~ yet development is not.
However, that’s still a lot of money and I really wouldn’t wanna pay that.
This is greed, pure and simple. At $60, the industry was more profitable than Hollywood, and they raised the base price of games to $70 just a few years ago before immediately talking about raising prices again.

Whenever there's a multiplatform game I'm interested in I add it to my wishlist on the Switch, PS5 and Deck. I almost always end up buying it off Steam because it ends up being cheaper on it. So the Switch and PS5 have been reduced for exclusives only.
Hell, at least I can use my steam deck as a mini PC and SSH into the thing, as well as use a mouse and full fuckin keyboard with my cheap off brand dock.
