Five reasons why I am not bothered by Nintendo's Switch 2 hardware and software pricing

[Norion]

There have for sure been overreactions and the misinformation sucks but Nintendo is still being kinda greedy here. Them charging more for at least some games than the current standard was an unpleasant surprise since the general expectation was them matching it and BOTW not including the DLC despite costing more than it did 8 years ago is outright scummy. Them charging for Welcome Tour is the dumbest part of all of this but in terms of importance isn't a big deal since not a single person on the planet is buying the system cause of a game like that being free. Still not a good look though when Sony throws in a high quality few hour 3D platformer for free with the PS5.

The complaints about the hardware pricing are silly through and through though since 100 more than the Switch was always gonna be the minimum unless they were going to release an underpowered machine with an outdated screen. It would be nice if it was somewhat cheaper but it's completely fine for what you're getting considering how much the Steam Deck costs.
