well... yeah. nobody wants to buy a full price game that they already own on steam that they got on sale 3 years ago. why would they? the only people those games are marketed for are nintendo exclusive users who have no other game platform. the world spins regardless of if nintendo decides to put out a new overpriced console or not. if they're getting left behind, the world will continue to spin.

>nobody wants to buy a full price game that they already own on steam that they got on sale 3 years ago. How many Nintendo games are on Steam?

Stop this game key shit then

third party games. that's what the article is talking about. and what I am talking about.

My local game store said demand for console is high; MKW bundle being the most popular. The demand for games, accessories and controllers is not high. I can't imagine that lack of demand to blamed on anything else other than pricing or uncertainty of the economy.

Do you think parents or casuals know that, or do you think that they only know of the TV news reports of the console and game price increases? The biggest story revolving around the Switch 2 before launch was the price increases.

I imagine the people who purchased the console are aware of the game prices, yes.

How many Nintendo games are the subject of this article? (Hint: 0)

Is there any third party game on switch 2 that wasn't on the first switch? Looking at the Nintendo store I can't even tell.

Game Keys still way better than the "here's a code in an empty box" shit

They made a filter for that specifically on eShop Cyberpunk 2077, Street Fighter 6, Yakuza 0, Bravely Default Remaster. All rereleases. Only Fast Fusion and Split Fiction are new but both are a bit of a niche thing.

Also on game key cards 🤮

I've gone through all tabs of the eShop and don't see any filter like that anywhere.

Search -> (scroll all the way down) Filtered Search > UI design is my passion _Person in charge of this thing_

In that case, I'm even more confused. Who do you think is going around just rebuying games they already own?

...yes you are extremely confused and apparently didn't read my comment fully. because that's what I said. lol

I'm saying that the pricing scheme Nintendo has for the S2 ecosystem is not conducive to pushing volume. This is evident to my other comment from talking to my local game store. Console demand is high, while games, accesories and controllers are not. If the average consumer's S2 library goes over 10 games average for the lifetime of the console, I'll be surprised unless pricing changes. The people who have purchased a S2 are holding back on other purchases that usually accompany that purchase. The people who haven't yet purchased and who will not purchase are likely aware of the prices as well. My rural local TV station ran 2 stories on price increases. Even if not all games are $80 each, the preconception is there for quite a few people that all S2 games are $80 each no matter if you've purchased a console or not.
