Folks appear to be oddly invested in predicting Nintendo's failure. It's super weird.

What people don't get is Nintendo is extremely sound financially. They don't have any debt and they keep large cash reserves. That's why they can have a mega flop generation like the Wii-U and keep going strong.

A ton of companies are up to their eyeballs in debt and if they hit a bump they are on the verge of bankruptcy.

Of course he can do comedy, that's how he got the part.

Just like how his love of making lists got him the part in Schindler's List.

Pretty damn terrible imo, but the OJ gag was great.

Sounds like they wanna generate more entry fee revenue and are spinning it like some sort of SJW bs.

I just saw the little mobile app they have for the Switch 2 versions of the Zelda game. It's very existence offends me. Using it is like going into the best steak restaurant in the world and someone is ordering it extra well done and covering it in ketchup and a1.

Way to completely fing ruin the entire point of those games.

Yeah this won’t be a Wii-U flop but it’s not going to hit switch 1 numbers.

Yeah, the pricing is def. going to matter. Casual gamers already have a Switch, economic times are not great for a lot of people. And if hte kid is still playing and having fun with the Switch gonna put a big dent on the sales numbers, at least initially.

I don't think anybody sane predicts a Wii-U level flop but I'm just not seeing how Switch 2 comes even remotely to the level of success Switch had at this point.

The sticker shock is gonna be there for a lot of people, especially on the games. Every single console that has released that most people thought was overpriced has struggled or flopped. Both Sony and Nintendo should have learned this lesson but they seem to convince themselves the masses will buy their shite at any price.

The odds of me personally getting one are very high, after all I've got every home console Nintendo has ever made except the Wii-U, but it will probably be a few years when they've actually built up a decent library of games and the price has perhaps come down a tad.

Just saw the physical game carts don't contain the game. Nintendo was the last retro compatible holdout, RIP. Sad times.

Real game cards still exist. They are just introducing a new concept for Switch 2, basically a physical "key" to a digital game, so you can use it as physical game but the actual game still needs to be downloaded.

I'd imagine the big first party Nintendo titles will all be the "real" variety.

Making the Tour a paid game is something only Nintendo would do. It's basically 1-2 Switch all over again, if anyone even remembers that piece of crap.

Outside of the new Donkey Kong, absolutely nothing of note. It's basically just a bigger, better Switch with better tech specs.

I'll get one eventually I'm sure.

Didn't realize the FromSoftware game was an exclusive. That will certainly move units. That's when I'll probably get mine.

No matter how cool you ever are, you'll never be cool as Ice Man

Yes, the new working class voters who now vote Republican are low-propensity ones. Need to find a way to get them more regularly engaged and reach out to.

The last Wisconsin supreme Court seat went Dem by like 10% just 2 years ago. The state is still light blue, especially without Trump on the ballot.
