At least it was clear from the beginning that Super Mario 3D collection was only going to be available for a limited time. And you can gat a copy on eBay for close to launch price. So at this point I'm not sure what the issue is. As for Nintendo game prices, their title do occasionally go on sale. Not often, but it happens and you can sometimes get the first party games for between $35 and $45.
The thing with Nintendo is that they know how good their games are you know what you're getting when you buy them. It's always clear and they're almost always worth it. If the argument is that over times the games don't become cheap enough then maybe stop being cheap?

This is precisely what will happen, it buffles my mind people think otherwise.
Scenario A: the only way to play Nintendo games is to buy a Nintendo hardware
Scenario B: you don’t need to buy Nintendo hardware to play Nintendo games
Nintendo makes a profit on every console sold Day 1, as opposed to Sony and Microsoft. It’s in their best interest to tie people to their hardware ecosystem.

I mean, OP every once in a while “gets reminded of Nintendo’s existence when browsing the internet”.

Nintendo has sales in their e shop all the time OP, and yes even first party titles go on sale several times a year. Seriously, not sure why this misinformation continues to be spread, the Switch era has changed their approach to sales and discounts heavily versus what they were during the Wii and Wii U eras. Granted, you're not gonna see sales on games that haven't been out long, but their first party titles absolutely do go on sale.

Buy a Wii U and mod it. Very easy. If you don't want to do that. Wii U and Switch Emulation is pretty much flawless with the occasional hiccup.

Then it shouldn't matter to you if you can’t play their games or not.

I love when a thread is so bad that there are at least a dozen posters who make a better point than the OP does.
Expensive games, bad online, not enough third party games, underpowered hardware... those are all completely valid, understandable reasons to not buy/like the Switch. Meanwhile. OP goes with a completely nonsensical reason that borders on trolling.
Anyways, I'm glad OP doesn't care about Nintendo. I just don't understand why this thread exists then. The mysteries of the world never cease to amaze me.

If that's the case you should just quit consoles period.

No, I would like to play the games. I just don't care about the brand.

Better ask yourself why are you getting so defensive about it that you have to return unprompted to this thread to mald at me some more, and if it's any healthier than my reasons for getting annoyed with that company.

Most of us buy any systems because of the games not brand, I bought Switch not because of the brand, mostly because it has games I want to play.
Its not that complicated, you want to play Switch games then buy Switch or emulated on PC.

Exactly, and I'm annoyed that Nintendo makes it such an inconvenience to get those games. What's so difficult to understand here?
Well, I was bored and I entered this thread based on the title. I'm always interested in serious conversations.
After readin the OP, I've been trying to figure out if you're just very young or trolling. Since I still haven't figured out the answer to that since your replies are all over the place and constantly conflicting with eachother, the jury is still out on that.

Inconvenience how? You want to play their games but you don’t want buy Switch, that your issue not Nintendo.

You are literately talking about collection that is available everywhere. literately dolphin takes minutes to download, watch a video on how to set up controls and you are done.

I've already explained. Very thoroughly.
And yeah, I realise that my reasons are not such a huge problem to be the end of the world, but compared to how Series S made it incredibly convenient to catch up on dozens of original Xbox and 360 titles, it feels like Nintendo expects me to run an obstacle course.

Well, I guess this answers the question.
Makes sense you can't buy Nintendo games if you're twelve and don't have access to a bankaccount or credit card. Now I understand the thread better as well.
Getting GamePass from your parents is a godsent, aint it?

Again that’s mostly your issue not Nintendo, most people who want to play their game already bought Switch.
And you say it’s “stupid business decision“ and yet look at their sales number, at least be honest, this is nothing more than another port begging thread.

Again, you misunderstand. I don't give a shit how much money they're making. Arbitrarily removing those Mario games from digital distribution was still monumentally retarded.
I don't really know what that is. Some turn-based game, IIRC?

Yes. And above and beyond Fire Emblem in every conceivable way. And yet, horribly neglected. They've released a remake encompassing of the two Game Boy Advance games (which are quite good, as is the remake itself!). So if you want to give money to Nintendo, I implore you to consider buying Advance Wars for Switch as well, so that the series might live once again.
Fuck Fire Emblem.
Actually, Fire Emblem is alright. It's just that I am not really keen on them exploring the dating sim stuff further and further.

Alight, I'll keep that in mind should I ever buy a Switch, then.
I enjoyed the energy of that post, though, lol.

Gaming’s an expensive hobby. Nintendo’s just good at keeping their games valuable. We should all be so lucky to have a business that’s so insanely profitable

I really wish people around here would stop peddling this bullshit around.
Sorry to break it to you, but gaming isn't this elite VIP club where only special snowflakes like you who can afford it are allowed inside. It's a medium of entertainment that covers a very wide spectrum of audiences from various social backgrounds and it's affordable to pretty much anyone who isn't struggling with literal poverty.
Also, don't make me laugh about this "Nintendo good at value" crap. They push the same BS as anyone else, good AND bad.

Just dropping in to let you all know that I hate everything about this thread, from the idiotic ragebait topic, to the creepy Nintendo warriors defending the valor of m'lady Nintendo. What the fuck is this shit.
Anyone played Baldur's Gate 3? Now THAT'S a video game.

Metroid Prime remaster, those 3D Mario games, the open world Zelda that everyone was raving about a few years back... I guess that's it. Maybe Bayonetta too but that's like a distant, distant 4th.
Other than that, I don't even know what else is there in terms of exclusives, but I definitely don't care about any Pokemons or other stuff like that.

Seems like they are very consistent in what they are doing, even if you don't like it. So why would you continually go back only to realize they are indeed still doing the same thing they have always done, just to get mad about it? Odd.
It's a pretty damn cheap console, you either are willing to spend ~$300 to get one, and immediately get access to every single game (how is that hard?) or you don't... pretty cut and dry.
Seems like you're actually upset that you can't pirate/emulate games on your PC or something? Pretty odd thread tbh.

So they are the same as everyone else now? So what is this topic about? What is going on?

Well then you buy a Switch and then buy those games. Apart from the limited copies of 3D Mario, there's no barriers to the rest.

Sorry, shouldn't have used so many long sentences.
- Buy the console
- Buy the games
- Play the games
- Sell everything
- Profit(literally)

How is the series s more convenient, you have Microsoft bending you over a barrel locked into their store.
Lost Odyssey costs £20, a game that came out 16 years ago that I can find on eBay for £5.
I can't even play physical games I already own for 360.

Drawing the line in the sand over Mario All Stars? Weird reason to avoid the system.
There’s no level of devotion required to buy and enjoy a Switch. You buy it, and you buy the games that interest you. Done.

Nintendo is fucking insane. I remember that for years after PS2 was officially dead you could walk into a game store and buy the most goddamn obscure videogames for €5 used. It is bizarre.
Good thing they don't make anything I'm interested in.

It’s… literally an expensive, completely optional hobby. Much like going to the movies, or building a model airplane. You are entitled to nothing other than air.
