You bought a switch 2 and you're playing breath of the wild and mario odyssey like it's 2017 again because you got bored of mario kart already.

These are real stories from real people.

Why would anyone have buyer's remorse? There will be a ton of great games, just not yet. Have some goddamn patience!

Now if someone spent all their money on it, and now can barely afford food or rent, then I get it. But that would also just be dumb.

Because they bought a system, got bored of the new stuff quickly and now are reliving the switch 1 launch except it's almost 10 years later.

Why did you not quote the rest? I addressed that.

Well, people still play NES, SNES, and PlayStation games regularly, too. If they got the system early because they were worried about not being able to find it later, when the games they really want are released, then there's nothing wrong with that.

I bought one knowing full well there wasn't much on launch. I've enjoyed what little there is, and am looking forward to what's coming out.

The system itself is fine. No complaints here. It's just there's no games at the moment.

Now the Steam Deck there's some buyers remorse there.

I'm hoping they'll do a package deal like they did with MKW, but considering how close the launch to the game is, I don't really expect it.

Honestly I had gone back to console games for a year + and had only played xenoblade chronicles x on my switch so I have a lot of catching up to do

(I play 100% handheld, if I want to play a shooter or something graphics intensive Ill do it on another system)

DK Bananza and Metroid 4(hopefully) right around the corner.

Still playing MKW btw.

Interestingly, I'm also playing Mario Sunshine on my Switch 2 like it's 2002.

No problem with that.

I bought a Switch 2 expecting the release schedule to be light over the first few months (like any console launch) and to be kept busy by the Switch 1 games that I held off on playing because they ran and/or looked like shit on Switch 1. I am getting exactly that, so I'm happy.

DKB around the corner, Pokemon Legends in a couple of month, new Daemon x Machina around the corner, and Metroid Prime to look forward to.

Plus Mario Strikers was just added to GCN NSO.

I wouldnt say remorse but I totally get the Now what feeling like youve just escaped the dentists aquarium. You have an expensive Mario Kart and a handful of lackluster Gamecube games I guess.

Obviously more and good stuff is coming but it seems like the launch was a little too early.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Something else is Nintendo has a reputation that they've built up over decades. People can be reasonably confident that with a new Nintendo system:
  1. If nothing else there will be a steady stream of new first-party games for years, and they're probably going to be mostly really good games.
  2. Prices for the hardware and games probably aren't going to drop much, if at all, so waiting isn't going to save you much money.

By the time there are good games it will have gone on sale. Even right now you can buy $500 in target giftcards for $450 to get the MKW bundle for $50 off. I'm waiting for either $300 for a used one or $400 new with a game bundled.

So you know nothing about consoles from the last several years. It will not go on sale. Might be a Black Friday bundle with essentially a free game. That's it

But the better deal is likely just a different bundle. So you realize months or years later that you could have saved like $50 and have remorse over it? Seems like such a minor thing.

Consoles not going on sale anymore is heavily exaggerated. They don't go on long term sales anymore where they are super easy to obtain at greater than 50% off like a few generations ago. But they absolutely still get short term sales. Just have to pay attention and be ready to jump on a deal. I'm also happy to buy used as long as it's more than $150 off which will be happening regularly after next Christmas.

You can literally save $50 today. A year from now it will have been possible to save far more than $50.
