Nintendo's Switch 2 got off to a roaring start but demand has started to sag, particularly in the US. Where are the big games to reverse this?

I’d love to get a Switch 2, but $500 + $70/per game is just too steep for me.

    It’s a price thing for me to for the most part.

    If they had better first party games, I’d be tempted, but even then.

    Also them banning consoles of people who bought used games is a big no for me.

    That means the only way to protect myself is to way until the system gets hacked and play on a hacked system disconnected from Nintendo.

    So, that’s what I’m waiting for.

    They're a business and they need to make money.

    If you're too poor to afford video games, then you shouldn't be playing them.

    If I have a PC (which is practically a necessity for modern life anyways), I can get a bunch of fantastic titles on Steam for super cheap right now from their Spring Sale. If you're too poor to afford a Switch 2, there are plenty of other options.

    Shame there isn't a gaming platform that often has tons of really cheap and often completely free games. One that has multiple storefronts, each with regular sales. Darn I guess that just means I'll have to quit games entirely. For the sole reason of being too poor to afford overpriced hardware and overpriced games from a singular company regularly known for overcharging nostalgia bait games. Entirely because one person on the internet told me to, all so he could defend a billion dollar international company.
