My mother bought me an NES when I was a child, and shortly after Nintendo lowered the price and they voluntarily refunded her the difference.
She told me years later that secured her as a Nintendo customer for my games for life.
This greed is disgusting, but more than anything it’s depressing.
Nintendo being anti-consumer is no surprise, but it’s nice to see someone tried to hold them to account.
So glad I personally didn’t buy a Switch 2.
Now that Nintendo greed is fully out in the open I hope a lot of their fans leave. The relationship should be symbiotic, not parasitic.
By their own logic, they don’t have a right to tariff refunds either.
They want to eat their cake, and have it to. Will capitalism benefit the capitalists like it does 99.99% of the time? You bet your sweet ass it will!
99.99% of the time, it works every time!
I play my Steam Deck more than I play my Switch 2.
Likewise. The Switch 2 is a very nice handheld, but it doesn’t hold a candle to having a never-locked-down x86 PC in your hands.
the only console outside of my Steam Deck that i still occasionally use is my old Nintendo DS, because of it’s small form factor and my seemingly undying M3 card lol
Back when Nintendo made good consoles. My 3DS has been my daily driver since 2012, and so far only needed to replace the thumbstick because the rubber degraded. It’s a little tank and I love it.
I never played more Nintendo games in a year and I didn‘t pay for a single one!
The alternative being… not paying and still getting it, Nintendo??
Or would you rather no one buy or play games from you? I stopped a long time ago.
Americans getting utterly fleeced and it’s fucking hilarious.
If only it were so. Unfortunately prices were jacked up worldwide to compensate. If only the Americans were paying the tarrif it would have been an extra $50-100 for the console in the U.S. easy.
just my 2 cents: Nintendo did not raised the tariffs… and they neither profited on them…
