Are these those things I stare into at an eyesight test?
When I unscrew the caps, is there salt inside?
Is this what Vader uses to scan people's ball sacks?
So I'll post this here:
Switch 2 Mario Kart bundle is only availible in limited quantities while stock lasts.
Nintendo is sending out invitations to pre order this system only if you meet certain requirements.
You save a good chunk of money if you get the bundle, so try and pre order as soon as you can.
I don't know what I'm going to do. I was waiting for amazon and I registered my interest, but it seems to be sold in conjunction with the uk Nintendo store and says I would have to meet these requirements to even get an invite to preorder and that means having an active switch online membership
I Just used the 7 day free switch online trial so it will be active for the 8th when preorders start. Hopefully the 350 hours i poured into Snowrunner will boost my playstats and make me.eligible for invitation.
Begone, heathen!
Can't I just detach and use the volume knobs on my car radio to play those games?
On a 90s tamagotchi screen?
Yeah, I recall paying $100 for Street Fighter II and $115 for Chrono Trigger for the SNES back then as well. That was Canadian by the way. Don’t even mention the price of those Neo-Geo cartridges either.
There are differences though. Those were more expensive to produce given their format. Games didn’t sell as many copies as they do today. Also now they sell digitally as well so they get more money off those sales. It’s just when you see a game like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sell over 60 million copies it can be difficult to rationalize that they need to charge more for the sequel.
Then GC and Wii the prices came down to £40
Switch games here are supposed to cost upwards of £50 but you could always fine them for lower, big first party usually £40 to £45.
But you can get physical 3rd party games from £15 to £35.
I think I wouldn't mind the higher physical price if the digital prices were much lower.
But, Donkey Kong Bananaza is $70 physical. I think digital is less.
So even if we take the physical price and apply Nintendo standard -33% discount it will eventually be $47
Mario Kart is $70 digital, with the eventually discount it should drop to $47 too.
BTW 3rd party games are already cheaper. Street Fighter 6 is $60.
With all this hubbub about Switch2 being 4K 120FPS HDR I'm wondering if I should buy a new TV as well. I don't want to spend the money, but it'll irk me to no end knowing our 12 yera old TV is holding things back.
Well, the good thing is that they are not nearly expensive as they used to be. You can find a pretty decent one for 300 or less. Still though thats $300 out of your pocket.
