#another $100+ for a normal controller and the cheap webcam that half the new features revolve around

I'm still hoping for a 3ds situation where the population refuses to upgrade en masse (plenty of new games still coming out on the switch 1, mario kart 8 deluxe still plays great and looks fantastic), forcing Nintendo to back down on prices like they did with the 3ds after its launch.
Slim hope I suppose.
conflicted on mario pricing because realistically video games have been dirt cheap compared to their cost to produce and the entertainment extracted from them but on the other paying more than €30 for something on the computer is patently ridiculous
#$80 for the *digital* edition#supposedly a physical cart will cost even more#and that's before the inevitable waves of paid dlc#even if I thought that price was reasonable#I literally cannot afford it#not on top of $500 for the console#another $100+ for a normal controller and the cheap webcam that half the new features revolve around#fees to 'upgrade' existing switch 1 games#even the tech demo has to be purchased separately#probable price increase on the online service#a few years ago you could have maybe gotten me to spend that much on video games#but the US government is deliberately plunging the world into the biggest economic crash since the great depression#aint nobody got cash for that
