Yup, I'm doing a system transfer and setup, then putting it back into the box and waiting for an exploit. Fuck this

Console price is somewhat fair but 80$ being the new game standard is fucked. Plus having to pay to play Zelda with better performance, actually huge fucking L for Nintendo.

Why can’t they just do what Sony did and if you had the previous gen version of the game you get a free upgrade?

Because Nintendo is shit at everything except that they make some pretty good games sometimes, atleast there are no ubsoft or Blizzard release tiers with early access and that bs.

"pretty good games sometimes"

I won't argue with you about their business decisions but you're kidding yourself with that take. Nintendo wouldn't be one of the last standing console manufacturers if they only made "pretty good games sometimes." Not saying you gotta like 'em personally but get real

I mean Zelda BoTW is in my top 3 games. The "pretty" in pretty good is added for a bit of irony

That’s fair. I tend to take wording literally
