Nintendo somehow keeps finding a way to make this worse
I got a hunch that the team behind prepping the game for new hardware just didn’t have enough time to polish the port for DLC as well.
The outrageous prices are provably set by sales and/ or upper management anyway.
I kind of don’t get the urge for buying BotW on switch 2 if you alredy have it on original. Why not save your money on new games to play that are coming for thw system?
I’ve been a huge Zelda fan since I was a kid, but I played BotW in 2016 and found it playable, but way overrated. Not a 10/10 masterpiece, more like 8/10. I have yet to even bother with TotK. I am also a huge Metroid fan, but Prime 4 seems like just more of the same.
After playing both KCD and KCD2, for example, Zelda games just seem lacking in depth in comparison. I don’t know, maybe Nintendo is past their prime—either that, or I’ve just played too many of their games and am bored of them now.
lol the Nintendo hate is so odd, 99% of games do. It come with the dlc. Unless you buy a season pass additionally. Why only call out Zelda for something that is normal and has been for a long time?
I mean generally if a company releases their game on a new console years after the original game came out it does include the DLC and is like a definitive edition. At least that’s how I remember it used to be when I actually bought console games.
Morons will still throw cash at them.
Ya not sure if I’ll ever get a switch 2. I played the living shit out of my switch 1. Easily was my favourite console… Until I got a steam deck. Instantly I have over 1,000 games purchased already and a hefty percentage of them playable.
…not to mention the switch games that are still sitting on my shelf that I just play on here instead.
The more Nintendo talks, the worst it gets.
I get the feeling the Switch 2 is gonna be the Wii U with stories like this.
At this point I’m actively hoping for ky
Switch 1 was too successful, they’ve gotten omega cocky lmao
I think Nintendo thinks they have so much nostalgia, and loyal customers, that this generation they really said “fuck it” and are twisting the knife to see how much the consumer will tolerate. I’m not going to be surprised if we see price drops and actual sales (not 10 bucks off a 5 year old game like they usually do) by the time holidays role around. I don’t think they are anticipating the pushback that is happening.
Remember the 3DS Ambassador program?
So the 3ds system then.
Wonder what they’ll offer to ambassadors only. Twilight princess gamecube?
Windwaker HD Switch version finally …
This isn’t even industry standard - charging $10 to “upgrade” a game, yes, but as far as I can remember the DLC is always included with the game at the base game price when it’s been out for a while.
I hope Nintendo’s extreme arrogance and greed bites them in the ass. Will probably have to wait a year or so after launch to know since I’m sure it will take that long to get Switch 2s to all the diehards with money to burn. I’ll be interested to see how it sells to everyone else.
Every single game dev out there charges for season pass and dlc? Every single one
Yes, when the game is new. Then, when it’s been out a while, the standard practice is to bundle the DLC together with the base game at a lower price.
Bad timing on this comment, with Larian releasing 8 new subclasses for Baldurs Gate 3 for free in a few days.
Yes, they charged for it years ago on the last gen system. This type of rerelease usually includes the DLC in the package so that they can go back to charging full price for a game that’s no longer in the zeitgeist and not worth as much as a brand new game.
I’ve never rapidly lost so much interest in an electronic as fast as the switch 2 reveal to seeing the game prices a few hours later
If they released it about the same price, backwards compatible, maybe small fee to “upgrade” a switch game to the newer version, I might have been tempted. But seriously meh. I’m playing my physical copy backlog on my steam deck now lol
I knew it was over as soon as they said the tech demo is a paid title
100% this was the moment for me. By no means should they be charging any amount for an FAQ on how to use the product.
“Outrageous! They want, what, $5 for a tutorial?”
“$10.”
ಠ_ಠ
“Pay $60 to learn that the Joycon uses magnets”
Bravo Nintenbros
Man, Nintendo in hiring the ex P&G/EA executive to run things have really have Nintendo embrace the EA enshitification roadmap and culture.
His name is Doug BOWSER. Of course he’s evil!
…
●﹏●
This is a testament that Nintendo thinks the same as I do about their fans 🤣🤣🤣
The day, the Mario died.
Bye, bye, miss Mushroomian pie
Drove my joycon to the left, but the drift was too high
LOL that’s actually despicable
Average Nintendo moment.
Don’t worry. Super fans will still defend it. They’ve been using the “but but but but” strategy lately
I’m not at all defending the price, but am secretly hoping this outcry will make it easier for me to be an early adopter. I still don’t have a PS5 due to how burned I got trying to preorder one.
I will get it and play MKW but…
Yeah no I can’t justify getting too many games for it. Will probably just have World and MAYBE DK Bananza
You’re going to buy an entire console for just one game?
I’m a big fan but I’m not stupid. This is some horseshit.
I have both DLCs and I didn’t expect this garbage. Really bad stuff.
I have both DLCs
So then you still get to play them. The only people this affects are new buyers, which… scans internet will be approximately nobody, given the raging hate-boners on display. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nintendo’s really making it easier and easier to not buy the $500 Metroid Prime mouse control box.

We’re only paying a measly $70 for the Switch 2 version. Just get a third job and be grateful for the opportunity to purchase the DLC at $20. Then you can use the last of your hundred dollar bill for that one tech demo game!
