Comment on Why are people gurgling the switch 2 so hard?

I’m not that invested in the switch 2 discourse, but always chuckle when someone says “now I can play Zelda at 30 fps or more”.
Paying for a new console, because the last one was incapable of playing games at an acceptable framerate is a weird argument for your purchase.
Some Nintendo games are undoubtedly masterpieces, but that doesn’t excuse some of their business decisions.
“now I can play Zelda at 30 fps or more”
Tears of the Kingdom is $115 ($130 with tax) in Canada. To go to bat for Nintendo over the Switch 2 pricing is some sort of Stockholm Syndrome. For reference, the Switch 1 version can currently be bought brand new for $70.
You could then pay for the “upgrade” (just an fps unlock) for $10

I’m not a big fan how the “enhanced” versions offer nothing more than just unlocking the frames. Nintendo didn’t remaster these games, they didn’t up the graphics or crank up better lighting. It’s literally just an fps unlock. It only seems better because you from 720p to 1080p making the pixels smaller.

Don’t forget! If there’s dlc for that game, it’s not included there, either.

Correct! Such a good deal honestly
