Yup. I want to play Prime 4 and DK Bananza at some point. I don't need to play them day 1, but I'll want to play them eventually. And I'll want to play the inevitable Pikmin 5 and Smash Bros 6.

I think most people are more upset about Nintendo pushing an $80 price tag for first party games. TotK put a bad taste in a lot of peoples' mouths, but it was both a technical marvel and highly anticipated. People were beyond hyped about the game years before we learned about the increased price.

Mario Kart World was announced out of the blue, and while it looks like a ton of fun, it's not the same kind of 'I would be disappointed if I didn't play it before I died' as TotK. So a further bump in price for it just feels awful.

Stealing is cheaper than buying things!?

I know it's expensive though, and I emulated Pokemon Sword to play a co-op randomized Nuzzlock with friends. So no doubt there will be a Sw2 emulation scene. But I'm not sure a $250 laptop will even get you the same performance with emulation.

Not always the case as with the swift price drop for the 3DS. Depends on what sales look like for the Switch 2. Maybe we'll get an OLED version for $500 or something. But my gaming plate is pretty full, and I may just power through Prime 4 on Switch.

I don't think any game runs at 1080 fps 🤔

Prime 4 w/ mouse controls at 120fps isn't something I was banking on before today

I can confirm

I'm personally very excited for Prime 4, DK Bananza, and Hyrule Warriors Imprisoning War, as well as F-Zero GX getting released from the vault. Maybe not hyped enough to pay day 1 prices though

It's at least through this year with Prime 4 and Legends Z-A. I bet the price will make adoption slow and we'll get major Switch 1 games through 2026.

In a certain way, it's poetry
