Brick Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Since you got BOTW I would play that now first, then all your other games, and then TOTK just so you don't get burned out on that world a bit too fast since it does use the same map for the most part. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I misunderstood. I do like Nintendo games. But I rarely buy video games at full price anymore, and while MS, Sony and PC regularly see some pretty good discounts, Nintendo sales suuuuuck. I own Mario Kart 8, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, and had Mario Odyssey and those are literally the only first party titles I've been willing to buy. The Switch has been mainly a third party indie console for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Nintendo’s games are often not full price to begin with (and only Tears of the Kingdom has hit that dreaded $70 price tag so far). Don’t forget if you’re downloading indie games on Switch, you earn Gold Coins which can be used to discount games form the eShop. For whatever that is worth. Switch is a good spot for indies, but lately I’ve been using my Steam Deck for those. (And Elden Ring, but maybe for not much longer. I hate that game but I’m going to try to give it another fair shake. Maybe.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took them 6+ years of the Switch to cut any full price game they published by 50% in an official capacity. That’s entirely unprecedented. People are right to be put off by it.

My point was more about how their games are sometimes not even $60. In recent(ish) memory, games like Cruis’n Blast, WarioWare and Mario vs Donkey Kong launched at $50 or less.

Most AAA games dip below that mark by two years after release. Even the ones that hold value relatively well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's.... not great. I don't have a problem paying full price for a game like MUA 3 or Mario Odyssey.... but their business of double-dipping into the Wii U's library and re-releasing those older games for $50+ was a kick in the nuts for some of us who owned them the first time. I owned Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, New Super Mario U, Bayonetta 2, Pikmin 3 all on the Wii U, and would've totally double-dipped at the right price. I'll be real though, if Nintendo announces the Switch 2 and fully supports all Switch games (like it's rumored to) without any of that profile transfer bullshit, I'd be tempted to go back and buy some of those games again. But I gotta know my shit will carry over seamlessly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree especially with the Switch where they are releasing half assed versions of games that were previously better elsewhere Mario Strikers, Mario Golf, Animal Crossing just to name a few had more robust versions previously. Animal Crossing finally caught up to New Leaf like a year later with the patch and then they said they were done. Mario Golf was pretty damn disappointing for a $60 game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair about your point of "re-releasing" Wii U games on Switch...those games were not just simple ports. Several of them had to be changed so that Gamepad usage wasn't required at any point, and ALL of them had added content. (Bowser's Fury, Funky Kong, Peachette and Super Luigi included, all Pikmin 3 DLC included, and Bayonetta 1 was bundled with Bayonetta 2.) And still "only" $50 a pop. Would I have liked those for even cheaper (or free?)...yeah, of course. But that's not the world we live in. And the offerings they provided aren't what I would call terrible or anything. *shrugs* I'll agree with you on your last point. The Switch successor better damn well have backwards compatibility. It would *almost* be an instant no-buy for me if that's the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggie Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Nothing wrong with OG Switch as long as you don’t have a OLED close by that you can compare it with. That being said, owning a OLED Deck that’s superior might be difficult going to such a downgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tried it for the very first time in 7 years and it's by far the worst controls I've ever seen. Why is the right 3d stick at the bottom right? Holy shit. Now, the image quality wasn't as bad as I was anticipating but it's not even in the same league as my deck. Nintendo Switch has been packed up for good and I'm never looking back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Yeah, sadly, I also discovered that it is very hard to control most games in hand-held mode... and my switch is a switch lite. Ugh. I mostly bought it for Advance Wars, which works great with a portable, but trying to play high precision games like Mario Wonder is just no fun at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
