And like the Wiii U, the switch 2 will probably bomb unless nintendo lays up on the price increase for its games. I dont think Wii U games were any more pricey than their Wii counterparts, whereas the switch 2 seems to be chasing the industry trend of trying to catch up with inflation, without realizing that wages havent kept up and no one has the money to blow on $80 console games. Steam will be laughing all the way to the bank while consoles price themselves out of existence.
Yeah, sadly consumerism has killed the gaming industry, people get exactly what they tolerate, and what theyve tolerated is cruddy monetization because FOMO is a heck of a drug.
I mean I will say I at least had fun with the Wii u that actually has one of my favorite versions of assassin's Creed Black flag. The graphics certainly weren't as good on the Wii u but having that touch screen for things like the map when it came to navigateing or your inventory and wind waker was kind of a nice feature
But I also waited for a while to get it until they came out with The wind waker HD bundle

The main issue with the wii u was just that it was a shitty console in general.
It had the whole wii library, true, but not much else. Very few non-nintendo games, and even Nintendo kind of forgot the damned thing existed.
Gamepad had virtually no function because you had to be next to the console to use it. I mean, it was cool if someone else wanted to use the TV. That's it. It wasn't worth buying if you already had a wii. It was only a better console if you didn't have a wii. The problem: everyone and their fucking mother had a wii.
The switch 2 is objectively a better machine. But Nintendo is... overreaching all the same. The price for the system is... expensive. But okay, well look past this. Maybe it has capabilities like PS and Xbox consoles. Ah, nevermind. The games cost 80-90 dollars. It's going to have a limited library again like every Nintendo product. You can spend 100 more, buy a steam deck, and play every game that exists, from the steam library. No Brainer.
The switch was actually a fun and innovative concept. It wasn't priced too badly. It had a good amount of games. It was really nintendo's next wii. With a lot less shovelware than the wii had to boot. As fun as it is to shit on nu males for how much they loved it, it was actually a good system. The switch 2 will be their next wii u.
Meaning at the very least several years down the line I should be able to pick one up super cheap lol I just saw a couple on eBay complete in box for around $100
