If people are spending that much I they’re likely to have a Switch as well. I just can’t see the console failing. I think it broke sale records for a new console. Hitting 5 million in record time. I also said some of their games have disappointed lately but once a 3D Mario drops of Zelda people will go back to loving them again.

A lot of people are now going back to the 3ds , ds , game cube era of Nintendo , that’s why their console prices are skyrocketing

Im not sure how many people are really going back to 3DS but the switch 2 at least initially has sold very well. Above the switch 1 so far.

I don’t get what people love about Nintendo and their IPs. They clearly have a loyal fan base that loves what they are putting out.

Don't even try to understand it. It's a cult that will line up for a machine that is about two generations behind in all areas, for a few decent exclusives and a whole bunch of overpriced retro/indie bullshit you can get for half the price on any other console. Their business model makes absolutely no sense, but it works...somehow...

Kid friendly games with no modern day micro-transactions thats a complete game at purchase. Then the functionality that Switch has by being a portable handheld or TV console.

Basically if you are a concerned parent or adult gamer about the tone of modern video games. Nintendos content is wholesome.

Switch 2, nothing but crappy games and selling people cardboard for 80$.. I felt like the worlds biggest retard after buying pokemon za, that shit is worse than most mobile games. I couldn’t imagine buying that new Metroid piece of crap or anything else from them again.

Is Nintendo even capable of making a decent game let alone anything worth while again? Or are they just going to keep selling shitty games and cardboard at a premium price on outdated hardware?

I felt donkey Kong was overrated as well.

Couldn’t agree more with this. I picked up pokemon za with the “these YouTubers are blowing this out of proportion” attitude and… learned my lesson hard, that game was fuckin junk.
