With games no jumping from one generation of consoles to the next, when is the best time to play something? Is there ever a best time?

1st, they could made it to Switch too, there is no need for extra console.

2nd, both games had companion apps free from community, so its a minor improvment to that

3rd, jesus christ

This is integrated to the point the app is aware where in the world you are. It’s okay to charge for new things, one reason being that people eat and food costs money.

If you want to pay, go donate to the guys that made the companion apps, not multibillion companies offering trinkets…

Oh, why i even bother, Nintendo fanboys…

Nintendo employs people who eat. Go explain why you want to freeload to someone who believes it ;)

Other big companies offer bigger free upgrades for years without demanding more money from who already bought game (Minecraft says hi), indie developers have less sources of revenue and lots of them still offer updates for longer than even a console life cycle - and neither are tying the updates to buying a brand new console.

Someone giving something away for free doesn’t mean other have to. Different companies can think what’s best for them independently. They don’t owe us anything because we live in capitalism.

It’s exactly because we live in capitalism that, as consumers, we need to punish greedy behaviour.

That’s fine, avoiding things you dislike is very healthy. I question the actual dislike with the number of people pirating Nintendo stuff though. Not liking business decisions of a luxury toy maker doesn’t really give anyone right to just take it without asking.

Freeload? I had payed 70€ for TOTK, if i ever buy Switch 2 that’s another 450€, and you call that freeloading? So 520€ is freeloading and not the 10€ they ask to run the game. If this was not an anti consumer tactic, you could play the fucking game no matter what in Switch 2, and ask 10€ only for these “upgrades”.

I would like to know if even you would pay for this, fanboy.

PS Thanks Playstation fanboys who made this a today norm.

You can play your copy of TOTK on Switch 2 without paying. Upgrade with enhanced graphics and new features is paid. Nobody is taking anything away from you. Nobody promised anything more.

No you can not play any some Switch 1 games without paying for upgrade pack costing 10€. Good morning, welcome to reality. Also there are no new graphics. Its the same game in HDR and 4K, even if you pay.

Source? Switch 2 is backwards compatible. Why would this game not work?

Watch the Nintendo’s direct, or just google. Switch 2 is backwards compatible, but they locked the games behind the upgrade packs paywall. Without upgrade pack you can not play any of Switch games to Switch 2. So even if you have the game and the console you need to pay 10€ to work. At least kirby and the forgotten land is getting some in game content in Switch 2 with the upgrade pack.
