games

60 and they may have had something, but having to lower your price at all feels like an embarrassment.

I think the open secret at this point, is the higher price (for non-Nintendo games) is to preserve sale value

they need to be able to mark $20-$30 off

and it helps perception when that's 25% off an $80 game

then why not just keep it at 80 and do a launch sale or something? I don't understand what putting it to 70 does.

especially since that used to be a thing for pre-orders

$10 off or however they want to do it

I bet we get some pre-order # leaks

and it's <20k

would not be surprised

I can't imagine it being any higher, and them needing to do this

When I was in the mall and I walked into the EB games and saw a Switch 2 edition game with a price tag of 110 dollars (Donkey kong is 90 for the record) I laughed

I can't imagine paying those prices

donkey kong was $70USD I believe

Yeah which is 90 CAD

Just spending a casual 130 dollars on a single switch 2 edition game don't mind me

(with tax)

mario kart is not worth the $80 but I would say DK is worth the $70

No game is worth more than about 55 USD, so I disagree fundementally

i'm starting with the assumption that nintendo games are baseline $60

the issue is, most Nintendo games ($50 via vouchers) weren't worth that to begin with

the shortlist of actual AAA Nintendo games on Switch was 5-10

Can GTA come out so the rope and tape holding back the industry collapse can tear

maybe they keep delaying it because its the only reason there has not been a crash yet

has marathon released/cancelled yet?

perma delayed

they went back to doing closed Alphas

time to throw another $200Mil at it

It will either be shadow dropped to zero fanfare in 6 months to a year, or cancelled I think

AAA Switch exclusives: Xenoblade (x4) Smash FE (x2) pkmn mainline (x2) pkmn Legends Zelda (x2) 3D Mario pikmin (x2) Splatoon (x2) Animal Crossing Kirby Mainline Metroid Dread

What am I missing

pikmin

splatoon 2/3

agreed, that puts it up to 15 games

AC, 16

sword/shield?

metroid and another zelda

ig I should count Sw/Sh

sword and shield are awful

I hated that game so much

not good games?

Games that should be classified as AAA

these are supposed to be big games i think

well like, Mario Aces

was a full-price game

that 100% was not a AAA Nintendo game

I think SW/SH and scarlet violet are AAA games, just not very good ones

yeah this is my point

yeah, I'll change it to both mainline pokmns

no way a mainline Pokemon isn't AAA

switch mario sports games are all pretty bad

how do people feel about Metroid Drtead

what about Kirby and the Forgotten World?

that's not one I've played

it was good

short though

forgotten world should probably be counted

agreed, I forgot which one forgotten Land was

was thinking it was the 2D sidescroller at first

oh is it forgotten land? whoops

no mario wonder?

AAA Switch exclusives: 2D Mario 3D Mario Animal Crossing Fire Emblem (x2) Kirby Mainline Metroid Pikmin (x2) pkmn Legends pkmn mainline (x2) Smash Splatoon (x2) Xenoblade (x4) Zelda (x2)

it's more than I thought, ngl

I would honestly argue 3D kirby is AA

the two toy zeldas are also really good

its more of a tech demo for the real 3D kirby to come

I'm sure I'm missing one or two, and some are borderline

I left the FE/Zelda Warriors games out

despite liking those

including both Pikmins feels right to me

Metroid is borderline, but I've not played it

I agree with leaving warriors out

feels about as right as Kirby 3D

the only good warriors is a remake

/port

Not including the 2D Zelda remakes, pkmn Snap, Mystery Dungeon DX, Paper Mario remake, or Super Mario RPG remake

there's still echoes of wisdom

I like them

but idk, they feel different

just because you didn't mention it in that, there's also Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee and BDSP, which I can see not including.
