DO NOT BUY THE NINTENDO SWITCH 2 | Bearman3600
-
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 daysI agree with the overall negativity Nintendo has brought upon themselves but videos like this are, like you say, tiresome and disingenuous from the creator.

I am 5 comments deep in a thread asking for TL;DW and not a single mention of what was actually said in the vid, let alone direct direct critisism of it.And you took it upon yourself to be the 6th link in the chain huh? That's a bold strategy Cotton!

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).

By that reasoning, literally everything that requires the consumer to pay is “consumer hostile”. What are these “consumer hostile” things specifically?

They knew it from the beginning and never adressed it. Why would they, nintenodo babies are just gonna buy new controllers

Or, get this - if you want a switch 2, buy a switch 2 if you can afford it.

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?
