$70 is way too high. I would buy at $40. I will buy way less Nintendo games this generation because of the pricing.

Someone nailed it, it doesn't have a robust single player campaign, it is a pick up and play here and there.  $70 isnt for that kind of game.

I hope the S2 is less successful than the S1, only because Nintendo is getting a little big for their britches.  

(1.) The used market will have it available for $40USD within a few days/weeks. Same goes for all first-party Nintendo Switch 2 games.

(2.) Switch 2 hasn’t proven to be nearly as profitable for Nintendo as Switch 1, despite record-breaking sales figures. This really isn’t a case of “Nintendo is getting a little big for their britches” especially not when the alternative is $500-1,000USD hardware, similarly priced software, and far more expensive online service and accessory products. If you want S2 less successful than S1, you don’t need to come up with some nonsense justification— just say it with your full chest that you don’t want S2 to be as successful.

Nintendo is getting arrogant, that is just a fact.  Their games prices are too high for many titles.  Prime 4 has a boring desert with no music, unless you have a $40 amiibo, then it has music.  Mario 3D All Stars lacked Galaxy 2, which is absurd.  Mario 3D All Stars was a limited digital release, which again is absurd.  Classic games can't be purchased but are locked behind a subscription service, games I have already bought should be carried over and I should be able to purchase them.  Their classic games are lazy, the fan community does more with emulation.  Nintendo has gotten very arrogant.

A company being knocked backed bit is good for consumers.  The ps4 was brilliant, largely because Sony got knocked with the ps3.  So, there is no nonsense, it is reality.  

The Prime 4 music amiibo in particular is crazy to me, and made worse that people will blindly support and argue Nintendo isn't being anti-consumer, despite they clearly are.  

Edit

Also let us not mischaracterize what people are saying.  I never said I didn't want the S2 to not be successful, I said I want it to be less successful than the S1, there is a major difference.  If a company doesn't have to work hard for our money, they will do anti-consumer things.  See Nvidia for details.
