WHY ARE WE YELLING?
-
THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW THAT NINTENDO IS WORSE THAN IF POL POT AND MING THE MERCILESS STARTED A KISS TRIBUTE BAND WITH POL POT PLAYING THE SAXOPHONE.
-
WOULDN'T THAT KIND OF DEPEND ON WHAT MING THE MERCILESS WAS PLAYING? YOU GOTTA GET SOME STRINGS IN THERE TO BE A PROPER KISS TRIBUTE BAND, SO IF HE WHIPPED OUT AN ELECTRIC MANDOLIN OR SOMETHING, I MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN LISTENING TO WHAT THEY COME UP WITH. I'D EVEN TAKE A BANJO.
I'M NOT SUPPORTING EITHER PERSON (FAKE OR REAL) IN ANY WAY, JUST BEING HONEST.

Didn't plan to buy one, before the S2 was announced.
The number of anti consumer actions they take is amazing. They still hate YouTube. Instead of making their games not suck, they sue anyone who dares to try. They have a handful of console exclusive that even interest me, everything else I'll get in Steam and it'll play better, have cloud save, and a refund policy.
I bought a NES in the 80s because it was the most amazing, magical thing. Now I'm at the point of 'Fuck Nintendo, let it fall'

What's the TLDW?
-
This video has been doing the rounds but if I remember correctly they are overly negative and are obviously not the target for Nintendo and have no intention of buying the Switch even before all the controversy.
-
Ive been a nintendo fan my entire childhood and early adult life. I would say i am (at least clasically) nintendos target audience. I agree with the sentiments in the video. Nintendo is doing a lot of shitty consumer hostile things and people forking up ever increasing prices for decade old games will only validate their business practices and quality will further decay (like the games industry in general). That is essentially what he is saying. I will not buy the switch 2 (this video did not change my stance either way)
Granted his overly negative rant was a bit tiresome, it felt like he was impersonating the angry nintendo nerd without the comedy. But that just feels like any other yt video rant these days

-
Nintendo bad, so don't support Nintendo.
That's about it. I didn't finish it either, but I heard the rant and figured I wasn't missing much by not finishing.

Loud man thinks prices rising over time is evil, not inflation.

"I did it. Nintendo is surely finished. This will definitely work."
-
Wasn't going to, it's such a dumb purchase unless you have money lying around.
-
Completely agree. They burnt all their goodwill in the past few years. I have no interest in the company and the products.
-
That's exactly it. They burned all their goodwill seriously, and continue to do so.

Why? The first Switch is pretty fantastic for my use case, which is casual gaming w/ my kids, their friends, and my nephews/nieces.
I also have a Steam Deck and most of my gaming money goes to PC games. But I do like the Zelda series, so I'll buy a handful of games now and then for the Switch (usually as gifts to my kids for X-mas or whatever to kill two birds w/ one stone).
-
-
Or, get this - if you want a switch 2, buy a switch 2 if you can afford it.
-
Stop posting this garbage to every community
-
Done. Can’t afford one anyways.
-
can afford, absolutely no buy
-
-
I haven't decided yet, because it's not available yet. Once it's available, I'll check reviews and whatnot to decide whether to purchase it. Maybe I will, maybe I won't, it depends on a bunch of factors.
Yeah, Nintendo sucks right in the legal department. But whether I buy their products has less to do with their legal department and more to do with the quality of the product.
-
Me, not being a little baby man, am going to buy one at some point because I want to play the Zeldas and the Marios and no one is gonna keep me from enjoying those games when they come out—and I’m still gonna emulate on my Retroid ‘cause fuck Big Gaming.
-
Fuck big gaming but you'll still hand them money and emulate?
-
Yes
-

-
I mean, my Switch works, and if Microsoft won't port the Xbox UI to Windows handhelds, then I'll buy a Steam Deck.
-
I won't. And not even due to the bad PR.
I never bought a Switch. Thought about it, but never got around to it. I guess I'm just not the target audience.
Though now in thinking about it, I bet I can pick up a good condition used Switch on the cheap once this comes out. Maybe I'll get the first gen Switch after all!
-
I bought a Switch back in the day. Beat BotW and that was fun. Barely touched it since.
-
Yeah, the price point would have to be low enough to be worth it for the few console specific titles that'd interest me.
-
-
First gen’s are hard to find cheap due to how easily exploited they are.
-
By first gen I meant not a switch 2. I'm not too particular about which version or revision.
-
And that's the only reason I'm even vaguely considering picking up a Switch 2 around launch.
That said, even with a gen 1 Switch, booting into the CFW is just enough of a pain that I don't do it often. Gotta grab the shim for the rail, plug it into something that can deliver the payload... ugh.
I miss the days of Wii and PSP homebrew. No online shit to get banned from, no special booting techniques. 3DS cfw came pretty close in terms of ease of use.
That said, being able to pirate games directly from the 3DS and Switch was a big step up from having to transfer files over to the memory card (PSP) or effectively needing a dedicated external HDD/partition (Wii). Even if it was slow as hell and couldn't use my full internet speed.

I'm getting one on launch. Love my OG switch and got many cherished hours of gaming out of it.
-
OK. Never bought anything from Nintendo, so that's not a great sacrifice.
-
lol, ok. /s
-
Too late, I already pre-ordered. I'll make sure to let you know what a shit time I'll have with it. I promise.
