TOTK deserves to be on new gen

The hell is the Switch 2, Pro or whatever.

 

[floodarea]

xbox and playstation made the jump to $70 long ago so this ain’t new

as long as this game runs as at least as well as botw then it’s all good

this is why we’re not seeing new hardware yet



people gotta stop buying the switch for them to care

2024 gonna be when it’s revealed and drop most likely

 

[UsualSuspects]

I don't mind the overall hardware. the joycons though needs some overhaul.

Gotta order these

Joycons

My prediction is that the digital version of Zelda will remain $59.99.

Xbox and PlayStation also released new hardware that is capable of running games at native 4K, 60fps and 120fps. Also the games that are priced at $70 are still $60 on older hardware. This ain’t the same. If games release at $70 on Nintendo’s new hardware, I’m cool with it.

I believe the digital version on the eShop is the one that leaked showing a $70 price tag. Once it was shown on Twitter, retailers started pulling it probably due to people trying to lock in their preorders at $60.

 

[swendro]

I wanna see what the game actually is, but for 70 bucks, I might could hold off until new hardware.

 

[Blue Mamba]

I could care less about new hardware. As long as the game is great that’s all that matters to me

i’m saying

don’t know why some are getting hung up on resolutions and fps like that’s ever been a priority for nintendo games or prevented them from being great

Fps matter very much in gaming today. Only Nintendo fan boys would say other wise

Last weekends pickups

yeah okay

never said fps wasn’t important but you’re silly as hell if you think anyone besides yourself is gonna care when botw2 runs at 30fps instead of 60

 

[Ricky D]

It’s not that people won’t care, they just accept it. That’s fine, play what you want. I just think it sucks that they feel like they should charge an additional $10 for their games that is still running on their hardware from 2017.

THIS.

30 fps was still the standard for console gaming back in 2017. It was acceptable for console. When ps5 and series x released 60 became the standard. And yes it does make a big difference

It’s not that people won’t care, they just accept it.

exactly.

It’s kinda crazy to me what y’all bring up to justify $70 games.


It’s like insisting a 64 bit game has to automatically cost more than a 32 but game off of that alone. Regardless of gameplay.

I ain’t with it regardless of the reasons and excuses y’all make. Especially when these upgrades come with the new console and isn’t a capability of the game itself.

 

[s-blaze]

If it ain't 1st party games, gamers going to other consoles when Nintendo at bat.

 

[x Buddha Bless x]

To expect Nintendo not to price their first party games at the highest price point available is just dumb.

If they can and they will. There is no sound argument for why they should lose money on that.

exactly.

30fps is standard for playability. 60 fps is standard for smooth gameplay experience.

it's not even that. pricing that much is just the typical nintendo way of conducting their business regardless of the hardware they have. I rarely buy Nintendo 1st party games at full price.

 

[nice jahb]

I mean I wasn’t paying these prices, but my parents definitely did in 95. The SNES Alpha 2 and UMK3 would equate to about $132 today. Plus we all know the only ones paying $70 for a game are day oners. EVERYTHING goes on sale at some point.

 

[x Buddha Bless x]

Also if you paying day 1 prices you already lost anyway.

 

[kvsm23vs24]

Not like the prices go down anyways. BOTW still at 60 6 years later.

the only way to get 1st party Nintendo games way below $70 is to get them 2nd hand from previous owners. anyway, Nintendo couldn't care less for the pricing.

I buy other games and rack up points on my card so I can buy those new games

Or I wait for holidays to get them at a discount or some sort of deal.

I’m just biding my time for that Kirby game.
