That’s probably why I haven’t bought a Nintendo console since the original Wii. I keep looking for a reason to do so but coming up short.
I still love the NES and SNES, as well as some N64 and GC games. I definitely would like to try some of Nintendo’s newer games, just not at the prices they’re asking for! I am absolutely spoiled for choice on games to play.

How many exclusives is the Switch 2 going to have besides the usual Nintendo first party stuff?
“Aside from all the exclusives, how many exclusives will it have?”
I can remember when the SNES had countless 3rd party exclusives. Now we can’t expect any?
The value prop of the Switch 2 is not compelling to me.
That was the time when SNES was practically the only player jn town and you couldn’t easily port a game from one plataform for the other.
No? The SNES was in fierce competition with the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive. They didn’t call it the console wars for nothing.
We can expect exclusives. I’m not sure why you’re acting like all the exclusives that exist don’t count.
Because your previous comment conflated exclusives with first party exclusives.
I’m just questioning why you’re trying to write those off.
Because I don’t think it’s worth it to pay $650 Canadian for a console based only on a few Mario/Zelda/Metroid games?
There are more than few…
Not sure why are you considering a Nintendo console if you’re not interested in the Nintendo stuff
Because everything else can be played on a Steam deck!
I get your point, but people buy Nintendo consoles to play Nintendo games.
