If I remember correctly, I got Red Dead 1 to play on my Xbox one x (god I hate their naming scheme) and not only did the disc actually contain all the game data, it would also still function if I put it into a 360, and on top of that, my one x downloaded graphical patches and textures automatically FOR FREE. Even Microsoft did a better job about backwards compatibility (after eating a humble pie on the Xbox one launch disaster). Anyway dont buy Nintendo products. Nintendo bad.
nintendo isn’t out here murdering puppies or trying to get people disappeared. disagree with their business practices all you want but it’s not like they have a gun to your head. this “nintendo bad” narrative just because people are mad the the pricing structure is juvenile.
EDIT: yall can stay big mad and downvote like you won’t just eventually buy the stupid thing anyway. lol. have fun.
Their pricing, legal treatment of free fan games/romhacks, insecure legal actions towards games that resemble their own like Pokémon and Palworld, their warpath against emulators despite doing fuck all to preserve their own Library in a convenient way for consumers. Yes, Nintendo bad.
Yeah, it’s the same price. Right now if you want BOTW on the Switch it costs $60 for the game and $20 for the DLC. On the Switch 2 it will be $70 for the game and $20 for the DLC. If you already own the game on the Switch it’s $10 to upgrade (or free with NSO). Basically they’re just charging an optional $10 for the enhanced graphics. You can still play the original version on the Switch 2 at no extra cost.
I mean this game was in the top charts for 90% of its life until TotK released. Google said it’s been sold about 33 million times. Everyone who wanted to play it already got it. And my guess is a $10/20 upgrade cost per game if you want the enhancement patch.
I don’t know how to tell you this, but there are more than 33 million gamers in the world and, this is where your mind will really be blown, new ones are growing up every day.
There is zero good reason for an eight year old game being re-released as an enhanced edition to not be bundled with its dlc packages. This is a whole new low, even for Nintendo.
It’s funny how when using any form of business sense your first paragraph completely explains a good reason for your second paragraph. Like you typed that all out not realizing you’re literally writing the good reason for an eight hour old game being re-released as an enhanced edition is that there is a new market segment for it, and they haven’t captured the full existing market.
Like don’t get me wrong I’m not buying the botw dlc, I’ve owned Botw since launch in Wii U and don’t have the dlc. I’m not some sort of Nintendo fan boy, but I’m also not an idiot who is raging at Nintendo for being ran like a business. Either this gamble will work (more than likely it will) or it won’t and they will find a new buisness plan. Like this is borderline common sense especially because it’s going to sell.
Anti Nintendo fan boys are experiencing major brain rot.
When I said “good reason”, I didn’t mean “except for to make more money”. I felt that part was obvious.
Also, I’m not entirely sure if you were calling me an anti Nintendo fanboy, but if I understood you correctly and you were, that’s hilarious if you knew anything about me.
When someone is backed into a corner like you are they normally have to start explaining what they explicitly stated isn’t what they explicitly meant and I find that funny.
That’s not fucking true. It’s $70 if you don’t own it for switch 1, $10 if you own the switch 1 version, and free if you own the switch 1 version and pay for Nintendo’s online membership. If you own the dlc for switch 1, you can play it on switch 2, if not it’s $20
Good for you. But for context, you land, you go for a passport check, where you need to find the flag of European Union, which is on a sign with flags of a bunch of Commonwealth countries. The officer asks you some questions, like why are you here, where do you stay, and so on.

Of course it doesn’t. Nintendo would never pass up a chance to squeeze more money out of its customers
Shamelessly stolen from a Simpsons meme group I frequent.
My purchases in 2025 won’t include a Nintendo Switch 2.
No further questions. Thank you.
Pirating Nintendo games is ethical.

Stephanie Sterling made this argument 8 years ago, and as always, is repeatedly vindicated.

Got it for free with DLC on my steamdeck
What are the details? Base OS, or you install something else? Emulator I assume?
I use Yuzu then setup the gyro. Works quite well. The deck does struggle with TotK but otherwise not too bad
Does Yuzu work on SteamOS or did you boot a different OS? Definitely want to get a steam deck someday.
Works fine with steamOS. I use Emulation Station as my front end though. It’s a little easier to get to the game that way
Just got Second Wind working yesterday too! Care to supply your options to get better FPS?
I think FSR helps the most so far. Otherwise it’s just older hardware. Oh and make sure you’re handheld mode

No, it’s because Nintendo bad. They are incredibly anti consumer.
Nintendo is the Apple of gaming. That’s not a compliment.
Their pricing, legal treatment of free fan games/romhacks, insecure legal actions towards games that resemble their own like Pokémon and Palworld, their warpath against emulators despite doing fuck all to preserve their own Library in a convenient way for consumers. Yes, Nintendo bad.
70€ for an 8 year old game. And they don’t include the DLC. Nintendo.
Free if you already own it on your sw1 isn’t it?
Yeah
Nintendo never put old games on sale.
It would not be a sale to include the DLC on the Switch 2 version. I mean are they gonna offer it on the Switch 2 store? lmao
Yeah, it’s the same price. Right now if you want BOTW on the Switch it costs $60 for the game and $20 for the DLC. On the Switch 2 it will be $70 for the game and $20 for the DLC.

I don’t know what corner I’m backed into mate.
Yeah whatever, still buying a switch 2 and every game I already had one more time
Of course not. Who would expect that from Nintendo 🫠
Aren’t they just saying that if you don’t own the DLC, the upgrade won’t add it?

I think they’re even worse than <insert any AAA company that’s headquartered over the pond> combined at this point.
They might be worse than Hitler even.
Have you ever been to Britain after Brexit with an EU passport?
No.
Good for you. But for context, you land, you go for a passport check, where you need to find the flag of European Union, which is on a sign with flags of a bunch of Commonwealth countries. The officer asks you some questions, like why are you here, where do you stay, and so on.
tl;dr: It’s annoying and sad.
Ok.
