Tldr: we like money. We think people will pay for it, so we're charging.

They are not wrong, unfortunately.

Nintendoland and Wii Sports were included with their consoles. They’re both solid games. Why should this manual dressed up as a ”virtual exhibition” be paid for?

You can thank Reggie for that one wii sports was not a pack-in in Japan. But Reggie fought to have it be one in the US.

Apparently Nintendo Land wasn't either

1-2-Switch wasn't free so I guess they figure they managed to make their money back once, they'll manage it again...

I get the feeling that Nintendo hasn't realized how much they shit the bed yet. I have multiple people that bought the switch day one and sat in line to get one that just have lost interest in it simply based of the sheer greed they are expressing.

I went back to my 3ds after my joycons drifted. No way I was going to buy another set of broken controllers. Gonna try and send them in for a free repair, though

Damn, Nintendo. I’m already not buying your shit. Quit trying so hard to reaffirm my decision.

I had a great time with my Switch. The Steam Deck is now the only device I would buy.

99% chance this’ll become free before too long. Nobody will pay for it.
