This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Maintaining two product lines simply out of spite really is just such a Nintendo thing to do.
I have never and will never pay for a Nintendo product because of shit like this. Doesn't mean I can't play Nintendo games though 🏴☠️
Fuck Nintendo.
Seriously, just do the right thing. Goddamn
The midlife revision will probably just have a user-replaceable battery for all regions to simplify things.
Then again, it’s Nintendo.
Ah, man. All the US got was a price increase! But, to be fair... Art of the Deal... /s
Good, if only they could ever drop prices I would maybe even buy one
The incentive to buy one comes from the expectation it‘ll be even more expensive this time next year. Not sure it‘s working, though.
Will humanity exist this time next year?
And something tells me when prices fall again, Nintendo would just carry on and pocket the difference
If I ever do buy one, you can bet I'll be specifically searching for one of those Euro-spec ones with replaceable batteries.
If you do, you may also need to get EU versions of the games... I don't know if they're still region locking them but at the very least used to be a common practice
Switch 1 isn't region locked (when it comes to physical games), don't know about Switch 2. I suppose they could always patch that on via an OTA update...
I'm sure you could hack the switch 2. I hacked my switch and get all my games for free
There are no hacks available for Switch 2 so far.
They need to drop the prices of the games too
We need a right to repair...
