LOL that's actually despicable
I get the feeling the Switch 2 is gonna be the Wii U with stories like this.
Switch 1 was too successful, they've gotten omega cocky lmao
At this point I'm actively hoping for it
Edit: Typo
This isn't even industry standard - charging $10 to "upgrade" a game, yes, but as far as I can remember the DLC is always included with the game at the base game price when it's been out for a while.
I hope Nintendo's extreme arrogance and greed bites them in the ass. Will probably have to wait a year or so after launch to know since I'm sure it will take that long to get Switch 2s to all the diehards with money to burn. I'll be interested to see how it sells to everyone else.

I've never rapidly lost so much interest in an electronic as fast as the switch 2 reveal to seeing the game prices a few hours later
I knew it was over as soon as they said the tech demo is a paid title
"Outrageous! They want, what, $5 for a tutorial?"
"$10."
ಠ_ಠ
100% this was the moment for me. By no means should they be charging any amount for an FAQ on how to use the product.
“Pay $60 to learn that the Joycon uses magnets”
Bravo Nintenbros
Bravo to the one pal who's gonna buy it and post a gameplay on YouTube
If they released it about the same price, backwards compatible, maybe small fee to "upgrade" a switch game to the newer version, I might have been tempted. But seriously meh. I'm playing my physical copy backlog on my steam deck now lol
Nintendo's really making it easier and easier to not buy the $500 Metroid Prime mouse control box.
Don't worry. Super fans will still defend it. They've been using the "but but but but" strategy lately
I'm a big fan but I'm not stupid. This is some horseshit.
I have both DLCs and I didn't expect this garbage. Really bad stuff.
I have both DLCs
So then you still get to play them. The only people this affects are new buyers, which... scans internet will be approximately nobody, given the raging hate-boners on display. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m not at all defending the price, but am secretly hoping this outcry will make it easier for me to be an early adopter. I still don’t have a PS5 due to how burned I got trying to preorder one.

The more Nintendo talks, the worst it gets.
I think Nintendo thinks they have so much nostalgia, and loyal customers, that this generation they really said "fuck it" and are twisting the knife to see how much the consumer will tolerate. I'm not going to be surprised if we see price drops and actual sales (not 10 bucks off a 5 year old game like they usually do) by the time holidays role around. I don't think they are anticipating the pushback that is happening.
So the 3ds system then.
Wonder what they'll offer to ambassadors only. Twilight princess gamecube?
Windwaker HD Switch version finally ......
Remember the 3DS Ambassador program?
The day, the Mario died.
Bye, bye, miss Mushroomian pie
Drove my joycon to the left, but the drift was too high
cant think of another high profile old game re-releasing on new system that would sell the games dlcs seperately lol
Ya not sure if I'll ever get a switch 2. I played the living shit out of my switch 1. Easily was my favourite console... Until I got a steam deck. Instantly I have over 1,000 games purchased already and a hefty percentage of them playable.
...not to mention the switch games that are still sitting on my shelf that I just play on here instead.
We’re only paying a measly $70 for the Switch 2 version. Just get a third job and be grateful for the opportunity to purchase the DLC at $20. Then you can use the last of your hundred dollar bill for that one tech demo game!
Man, Nintendo in hiring the ex P&G/EA executive to run things has really had Nintendo embrace the EA enshitification roadmap and culture.
His name is Doug BOWSER. Of course he's evil!
Morons will still throw cash at them.
This is a testament that Nintendo thinks the same as I do about their fans 🤣🤣🤣
