Last I heard this might not be true. A lot of the stories seem to be repeats of the original, just posted on other sites.

If Nintendo truly has this capability, I don't think they would have waited until now to start banning consoles. People have been dumping their carts for years. This would've been done a long time ago and we would've heard more stories.

I think some people aren't telling the full story.

Nintendo still sucks though for how they're handling "piracy."

Yeah - Nintendo prices just don't fall LOL...  ???

I don't see discounts on Switch 1 prices as well.  I upgraded my original Switch to the OLED version.  The original Nintendo Switch is 7 years old?  2017.  Joy Cons were sent into Nintendo and fixed.  They work pretty well and have been working.  I might be interested in parting with it... maybe not as well.  I need to think about it - if interested.  Boxed... box might be a bit sun faded.

Anyone else looking to pick up a Switch 2?

ok - so the grind is pretty hard?  That was my worry on the Lunar games.  If I remember correctly, that was a thing in the past.  They are definitely great games.  Hard to put a ton of time into them with life as is and current gaming ADD  ;D

Who has been playing Mario Kart World on the Nintendo Switch 2?  I believe at least @Bomber Man and @CreepinDeth has been lol  :great:

The open world is pretty cool... interesting in how you switch between objectives and challenges while driving in the open world. I have very light experience so far... but watching and playing more.

Outside the $80 physical media cost ($50 with Switch 2 Console Bundle)... what excites you about this title?  Anything giving you pause?

Does it blow any one else's mind that "remastered" could ever be added to a Crysis title?  ;D

Well... this has also been released for the Nintendo Switch. It was released a long time ago - July 23, 2020 and I totally missed it.  I am going to give it a shot... just because.

It's still about $40 and is on Amazon and other stores (Amazon affiliate link):

It has been confirmed - Nintendo Switch can run Crysis lol  :great:  I am pumped to try it out.

Have you played Crysis on the Switch?  Thoughts, comments... post it up!

I had a whole response I was writing and lost it.   :'(   This will be the shortened version.

Neo Geo cart games back in the day were super expensive as well... while SNES games were in the $49-69 range, they were going for $150 each.  There was a Genesis racing game (Virtua Racing) with the SVP (Sega Virtua Processor) chip that I think debuted for $99 if my memory serves me right.  I remember back in the day... I was like "$100... what the heck?!"  Star Fox with the SFX chip was $59.99.  Those were expensive... but I do remember some sales... also remember mowing many yards to purchase more LOL.  :happydance:  N64 games jumped up to the $75's if I remember those right.

Thank you for the heads up on Bangai-O.  I have one excellent in box... I might look to lighten the collection soon.  We will see.

It is awesome to see the home brew communities. I was trying (way back on the old store) to give a platform for home brew communities to launch titles for different systems.  It didn't work out at the time - long story... but it was an interesting run at the concept! Glad to see they're still live and well.

$80 for Mario Kart world is a bit pricey... though the arguments for inflation aren't wrong... it still doesn't take away the sting of the game prices.
