In Nintendo's defense (I was raised on the N64), a bunch of big names are releasing this year. Activision's probably gonna release another Call of Duty (or drop an update bomb on Black Ops VI or smth idk), Rockstar plans on releasing GTA VI, and Microsoft is bragging about creating a new state of matter. Nintendo, meanwhile, created open-world MarioKart, and for as many MarioKart fans there are, at least a fraction of them aren't on board with that, and there's a billion more people who would rather buy Call of Duty or GTA than Nintendo games.

The point I'm getting at here is that Nintendo's trying its best. You don't drop something as big as the Switch 2 without losing a f**kton of cash for marketing, manufacturing, and creating the games. So, they gotta make it back. This isn't the United States defense budget we're talking about here - it's not like they're made out of money. Rockstar has been floating on GTA V for years now, and Activision is preying on the fact that the opinions of people online aren't an accurate representation of popularity with Black Ops VI and a few others. Nintendo is being pushed into the background. So of course they need a shitload of money to stay afloat, especially with how much they're spending on the Switch 2.

TL;DR (I'm hoping you at least skimmed my rant but still): Nintendo is trying to cause a stir-up so they can actually sell stuff this year. They're spending s lot of money, and they need to make it back.

(Also the "I was raised on the N64" part was to lend explanation to why I'm defending Nintendo here when literally the only other comment is on your side and this is a valid reason to be frustrated)

No, I will not. I will defend Nintendo until they actually do something worth condemnation.

So you see my point? (That being that Nintendo doesn't deserve to be eviscerated as it has been for something as trivial as game pricing)

They deserve to be just as eviscerated as my wallet will be. The reason even non-nintendo fans are mad is because, when Nintendo raises their game prices, most other triple a game prices also go up. And honestly, if you think Nintendo isn't deserving of being "condemned", then we'll just have to agree to disagree. 80 dollars for a game is absurd, and that's that.

Well, f**k me sideways. I'm sticking to it. I'll agree to disagree. I just wanted to make sure you understood the shit Nintendo has to contend with this year. Try selling your open world racing game when Call of Duty and GTA VI are releasing and someone literally broke the law of conservation of mass/energy (matter cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change forms) with a new microprocessing chip.

Nope, ive worked in the Game industry a bit. Its greed and always has been. I grew up in the 80's. Nothing has changed.

I think the prices are perfect and well deserved

Why? Nintendo certainly isn't short on money, and selling a switch 2 for the price of a PS5 is just not reasonable. But there's always people who defend Nintendo no matter what they do. They could blow up an orphanage and someone would still say it was "perfect and well deserved". And my main issue with the prices is that, when Nintendo raises their prices, so does nearly everyone else. Xbox already announced their price changes, with games at $80, which it's pretty obvious to see is caused by Nintendo announcing their game prices.

I totally agree that Nintendo is ruining the stock market. I defend only switch 2 price, not the game prices
0 ups, 3w
That's more understandable; however, I still disagree that it's a fair price. If one were to consider the tariffs, it would seem more reasonable, however the Nintendo CEO said that they didn't consider them when setting their prices.
