Nintendo. Anti-Consumer.

Decent satire. Needs to go further though.

It is not satire. I am honestly sick of the ports, sick of the greed, sick of pretending like indie games are good to justify my purchase. If this seems like a joke to you, you need to expand your horizons and be more open minded bro. 

A) So you decide to sell your Switch right off the heels of a Nintendo Direct where they showed off a bunch of upcoming, original, new games for the Switch ranging from Winter 2018 to 2019 (Super Mario Party, Pokemon LGP/E, Smash Bros. Ultimate, Yoshi's Crafted World, Daemon x Machina, that "Town" RPG developed by Game Freak, and the two big ones, Luigi's Mansion 3 and Animal Crossing.) Not to mention the ones they didn't show but we know are being worked on: Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes releasing on January 19th, then there's Fire Emblem: The Three Houses, Pokemon Gen 8 both slated for 2018, and that's not including SMT V, Bayonetta 3, and Metroid Prime 4 also looming. And that's just the 1st Party/Switch exclusive titles. That's not counting 3rd parties like Mega Man 11 and Starlink, among other titles. They're about to start the influx of brand new, straight from scratch Nintendo Switch titles and you pick now to sell your Switch?... I don't think you thought that part all the way through. 

B) Nintendo's greedy.? You don't say! Well guess what, so is every other major company and publisher in town right now. Welcome to the real world. All the things Nintendo is doing, every other video game company is doing right now. Ports of last gen games? The PS4 and Xbox One are chalk full of them, most of which came during the first 2 years of their life cycles, which is where the Switch is now. Hell, the best selling game for both systems is a port of a PS3/360 game, Grand Theft Auto V. Pretty soon, the Switch will be in the same boat with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. If it bothers you that much, just don't buy them. Simple as that. You don't have to buy those ports if you don't want to. Paying for online? Sony and Microsoft are charging $60 a year vs. Nintendo's $20. Microsoft has been doing it since the 360, Sony started doing it this gen. It was only a matter of time before Nintendo started doing it. More importantly, that's money being spent on enhancing the servers, buying more servers, and improving the experience. Again, if it bothers you that much, then don't pay for it. You don't have to pay if you don't want to.

C) So, what's the problem with having a bunch of indie games? Let me rephrase that: What's the problem with having MORE games? More options to choose from? Which brings me back to point A, and that is MORE games are coming and they are going to start coming quick starting in a few weeks with Mario Party and Mega Man. 

If the online is such a problem for you, you could just... y'know... not pay for it? That I can understand. But selling your system, just when the release schedule is about to get hot and we're about to get that whole bunch of new games you're looking for? I think the one who needs to expand your horizons and be a bit more open minded is you.
