@Lady @wallhackio EIGHTY????
@coriander @wallhackio this is correct coriander a video game from nintendo costs the same amount now as the introductory price of the game boy color handheld console
@Lady @wallhackio Like, I understand inflation is a thing and all but companies have had a hard enough time selling people on 70 bucks for games, how is Nintendo planning to get away with a twenty-dollar hike??
@coriander @wallhackio i regret to inform that the bureau of labor statistics thinks $60 in 2017 dollars is $78.59 in 2025 dollars
@coriander @wallhackio but the answer is that they're mostly still releasing switch 1 games and having a $20 upgrade for the switch 2 version if you’re rich
@coriander @wallhackio like metroid prime 4, pokémon legends z-a, etc are all still targeting the original switch with an upgrade for better features and graphics if you buy the switch 2 version
@Lady @wallhackio So much like a PS5, there's not much actual reason to buy a Switch 2
@coriander @wallhackio you can even receive download games on the original switch; only the sharer needs a switch 2
@coriander @wallhackio there will be a reason eventually due to the whole controllers are mice thing
one good thing is they're bringing back download multiplayer so only one person needs the game to do multiplayer on multiple consoles
