This for me, but with the new Fire Emblem. I've played almost every game in the series. But I can't justify $500 for a console for a single game, then pay whatever the going cost is now for the game ($60-80?), and then have all the inevitable DLC that actually raises the cost of the game to somewhere between $140-160 (most FE games since 3DS have DLC that nearly double the price of the game).

Oh, and if I pay $500 for that console, I have to pay a subscription fee if I do want to use internet features.

I hate Nintendo for their corporate practices, but at least up through the Switch, they actually make good games. And when people complain about their high price games, when you buy physical, that also means you can sell your games and get most of your money back from them. It's the attacks on fan projects, the DMCAs, the DLC, and paid internet subscription that made me lose any love for them. Almost every older Nintendo console was worth it, but not now (I had a Wii U, lmao). It's also incredibly frustrating in this day and age to be locked to a console when I might want to play things elsewhere.
