I'm so pissed.

$450 for the base console

  • $40 in tax
  • $60 for the proprietary memory card that only comes in 256GB
  • ~~$70~~ $80 for the game ($90 with tax)
  • $30? Dollars for the hardware demo that should be included to learn the system
  • $50 for Nintendo online +
  • all the other stuff they seem to demand their customers pay and apps we have to install
  • more ways to give them money if you want the switch 2 upgrades on games you own or want to play with the hardware at all.

This is $700-$800 just to play a couple of games.
Every other game showed basically was not exclusive. But they didn't even show me a reason to get the hardware in all that. No updated eShop or drawing and productivity apps like the DS. No browser or Bluetooth confirmed. In fact they confirmed that the voice chat only works with the console mic.

Give me back a Nintendo that gives a crap and doesn't just want money trying to make kinect 2.

:O===

Yeah I am expecting the upgrades to be $30. I can't imagine dropping $800 for 2 games and games I played fine in 720p
