With the implementation of Patch v0.5.5 this week, we must make yet another compromise. From this patch onward, gliding will be performed using a glider rather than with Pals. Pals in the player’s team will still provide passive buffs to gliding, but players will now need to have a glider in their inventory in order to glide.

How lame. Japan needs to fix its patent laws, it's ridiculous Nintendo owns the simple concept of using an animal to fly.

I was one of those but they were losing me more and more every year... But 3 years ago it became way too much, and I got off the bandwagon. Screw that lol.

I hope they don't make as many sales as they expect... But you may be right, too many people who will buy their crap however expensive and how much they're being mistreated by the company.

and for every one like you.

Theres people who buy multiple of the console.

One person in my family bought 4 of the Nintendo Switch. One for him, his wife, and one each for each of their two grand kids.

and they also buy multiple copies of games, so they don't have to worry about wanting to play a game someone else is already playing.

and I would not be shocked at all if they buy at least two of the Switch 2 the second it becomes commonly available.

I'm not so sure.

All of my friends who are less pissed off at Nintendo than I am are not even considering buying a Switch 2 because Nintendo basically priced themselves out of the market. All of my friends who have a Switch 1 will not be buying the Switch 2, that's pretty significant IMO, but I guess we'll see.

I agree, they definitely priced themselves out of several demographics including casual gamers, parents of young children gamers, and "I guess I'll get a switch as a second device" gamers. These people aren't going to look at a switch that's roughly the same price as the ps5 and xbox and think "yeah let's grab that one".

The wii u showed their demographic of "die hard fans that buy no matter what" is actually really small compared to the rest of their sales. And I think we're going to see a repeat of that.

I hope it does worse than the Wii U tbh, Nintendo needs to be knocked down quite a few pegs. I am quite fed up with them.

Its also fucked up that the switch is still 300 dollars, despite being released over 8 years ago.

What happened to consoles getting cheaper? You know their cost to manufacture it isnt the same as it was 8 years ago.
