Nintendo’s Switch 2 got off to a roaring start but demand has started to sag, particularly in the US. Where are the big games to reverse this?

    I’d love to get a Switch 2, but $500 + $70/per game is just too steep for me.

      That’s 80$-90$ in Canada, that’s just waaay too much for a video game. I’ll wait until the homebrew scene gets off the ground first.

      They’re a business and they need to make money.

      If you’re too poor to afford video games, then you shouldn’t be playing them.

        Shame there isn’t a gaming platform that often has tons of really cheap and often completely free games. One that has multiple storefronts, each with regular sales. Darn I guess that just means I’ll have to quit games entirely. For the sole reason of being too poor to afford overpriced hardware and overpriced games from a singular company regularly known for overcharging nostalgia bait games. Entirely because one person on the internet told me to, all so he could defend a billion dollar international company.

        If I have a PC (which is practically a necessity for modern life anyways), I can get a bunch of fantastic titles on Steam for super cheap right now from their Spring Sale. If you’re too poor to afford a Switch 2, there are plenty of other options.
