Nintendo shop regularly runs deals similar to steam. Usually at around the same times of year. Same with PlayStation. I run games on all three platforms. You have to be kind of a sucker these days to buy a game at full price when it’s first released. But none of what I said makes $80 games reasonably priced.
Comment on Switch 2 mouse mode (such potential)

Not 1st party sure, but there is a weekly deal cycle where 3rd party publishers compete to stand out.

That’s something at least. Now Nintendo needs to actually advertise their shop and those deals instead of yet another wave of retro ports.
Though it’s probably worth mentioning I’m not going to buy a Switch 2 anyway. I’m more of an observer from the PC gaming sidelines.
