Honestly every console should by default come packed with at least one game. It sucks the industry got away from that.Money, no doubt.

People will whine about anything I guess. If you don't want it, don't buy it. Simple as!Oh, I'm not buying it just like I didn't buy 1-2-Switch, but it's the principle of it. The whole point of the game is to introduce the Switch 2's new features and show how they work. Such a thing would make way more sense as a game already included with the console, not something you have to shell out even more money for.

Typically manufacturers want the consumer to know about how their product works, so they are more likely to buy said product, are less likely to inundate the manufacturer with how it works, and are less likely to return said product when they are confused with how it works.
(I apologize for the Twitter link)It totally should.. But unfortunately, we're working with a totally different Nintendo know. One that's very overconfident and not afraid to set the industry standard on pricing. The company that hasn't given permanent price drops for its Switch consoles and games...

Just like with 1-2-Switch, this really should had been a pack-in title, since the whole point is to demonstrate the Switch 2's new features. I'm not sure why Nintendo seems opposed to this; hell, Reggie had to fight with Iwata and Miyamoto to make Wii Sports be a pack-in title for the Wii (in Japan, Wii Sports was sold separately).
Meanwhile, Playstation gave out Astro's Playroom for free in every PS5 console.
Welcome Tour it says, as it asks for your credit card numbers again.
Okay, I won't buy a Switch 2.
All I remember is that the Wii came with Wiisports.Reggie was the hero that made that happen. He had to fight to get Nintendo to agree to that.
Reggie was the hero that made that happen. He had to fight to get Nintendo to agree to that.Reggie pushing to get Wii Sports packed in with US Wiis is probably his greatest contribution. That game was the reason most people - even people outside of gaming - bought the console.
Hope theyre at least somewhat humbled this time around bc arrogant Nintendo is the worst nintendo
I cant tell if Nintendo thinks gamers are genuinely dumb or if theyre just that greedy. They spent time on this bs instead of developing new games.I don't think this one took very long to develop...
I don't think this one took very long to develop...It *is* incredibly basic. Oh wow, you added a mic and a cooling fan. Like every console has had for 20 years.
The argument is that it's so basic and barebones that it should have been free.
You think they are humbled with a $500 launch price and testing the waters with $80 games?i mean I hope this launch humbles them
