This is the first time I can remember the previous console getting more expensive when the next console releases.
I got my GameCube for $50 when the wii came out
Yeah but the GameCube didn’t sell well like the switch has. The Wii releasing massively lowered demand, whereas the switch 2 probably had little effect on switch sales
GameCube is a pretty extreme case. They were practically giving them away once the wii hit big. Going up is insane.
Did this happen with the NES when super NES came out? That’s the only real comparison I can think of with Nintendo having back to back successful consoles.
Nope. Parents were new to the idea of upgrading a console in the first place and they focused most of their non-child advertising in telling parents there is a genuine difference even if they already have a Nintendo Machine. Genesis had also come out 2 years earlier and NES prices dropped to compete in the meantime.
It wasn’t a different console entirely, but the original PS5 got more expensive when the subsequently released PS5 slim came out. Unlike PS4 where both original and slim versions got cheaper when the PS4 slim released. PS5 pro is an additional $200 more than the slim (a $700 console).
lil indie mom and popshop nintendo forced to raise their prices. I hope you understandDonkey Kong is sick and Mario needs new shoes please give money
Donkey Kong has Donkey Kancer
Damn, ate too many banana.
To quote me: "Its incredible the way they’re destroying the circuses while we’re all so low on bread "

Quoting yourself
Misquoting yourselfI checked and it’s not a misquote so alas I am

Treat hog revolution incoming
New type of guy: the treatsky.
“Porky won’t let me so much as rent because he keeps giving himself a raise. Government keeps taking away my treats calling them ‘unchristian’, I am now a radical leftist. These pigs deserve less and they’re in the way of my treats.”
I just hope nothing happens to Kevin Bacon
nin-spend-o :kelly:
Perfect
price inflation*
some doohickey*
*latest fads
Sound Clock: Alarmo
what the fuck
Some kind of stupid expensive smart alarm clock for manbabies. I forgot this thing existed for a while.
They were charging $100 for that fucking thing? It’s literally the Nintendo branded version of this, but with nothing cool about the design.
Okay but it will apparently detect when you get out of bed and play a victory fanfare when you do. Which I wouldn’t pay a premium for but is kind of whimsy.
Dayum you just sold me on it . I take 20 of them
I remember seeing
posts where people complained that it didn’t work if you slept in a bed with a partner lol
*further
Insert “Luke I am your father/further/farther” joke
Saw this coming.
Not enough reason to drop $$$ on switch 2 when switch 1 is a great enough console that they are obligated to support for a reasonable amount of time. To sell more switch 2s they have to deter people from buying switch 1s.
Or they could just stop producing them - that’s what they’d do if they were smart - because that would raise switch 1 prices without them being fucking obvious about it.
Or you could use that money for a Steam Deck which can emulate Switch games and pretty much everything else.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they already did and just overproduced them (and are raising the prices anyways because fuck-a-you it’s Nintendo
If anyone wants to talk handheld switch emulation, holler at me!
How is it on your RP5? Looking at picking myself up one
Way better than youd think! Kinda depends on the game tho
Nintendo: “Our sticks aren’t the only thing that drift.”
Haha wow, another reason not to buy! Nice job!
Gamers keep winning
You will pay $200 for Mario Kart and you will like it
Nintendo more like Nintenpoo. Haha gottem.
