I think it's one of those cases of 'you don't have to buy it'. It is very likely the last console I will buy as I just don't like modern gaming as much. But it is Nintendo and I know I will get it eventually so why not now? I got my original Switch on launch so my money got me 8 years with it. Mario Kart looks really cool. As for game prices, yeah it's nuts but there is some logic to looking at old games. I got ISS 64 in 1997 and paid £65 that is a lot more than what Mario Kart costs. GTA will be a £100 game.

Ranma looks like it's worth a few quid now, mind you
I find Dread hard and I am stuck already
Oh god I had that! It had a cool idea but just wasn’t much fun to play at all.I swapped it for this:
I got this crap
Yes there will be an enchanced version of Mertriod Prime 4 for switch 2 that will run at 4k 60fps HDR in quality mode docked and 1080p 120fps HDR in performance mode docked.
Yeah you are right about it not launching with a sequel to Mario Odyssey after 7+ years but have you seen the the Donkey Kong game coming to Switch 2, Donkey Kong Bananza, you can tell its been inspired by Mario Odyssey

i don't think the "we were paying £65 for a N64 game" holds weight TBH, for example Mario Kart 8 is £38, Zelda is £45, so we have example of new games being produced and sold for a profit at that price point
Just because people are stupid enough to pay a high price for something, doesnt mean it is worth it
You could even argue that Mario Kart on the new system is just re-using lots of old graphics and textures, so should be even cheaper
it's just Nintendo taking the piss

Oh you should be ashamed of yourself!!
The invite offer is only valid for one day and I got severe FOMO. 😆Oh you should be ashamed of yourself!!
Waiting for an OLED model, Zelda special edition (inevitable) hopefully this pricing mess will be sorted and all the games I have not started yet will have Switch 2 patches and run at 60fps. Second Nintendo launch that I have not ordered, putting it down to getting old!
Bugger. I forgot to order one of those.I tried to get an invitation to buy from Nintendo as I really want the GameCube Controller but not got one yet
You may still get an invite if you qualify (need to have an online subscription), as they're obviously staggering invites to prevent server meltdown. I had to wait in a queue to access the site.

that "patch" will be a newly released game costing you £75
