Have you met nintendo fanboys tho? I bought a switch, just because my nephew is that age and it seemed easier than letting him use my steam account, that he then can't take home and stuff. The last console i owned was a xbox 360, so i didn't really know anything. I got the switch and thought you can't go wrong with mario kart. The game was something over 60 bucks and i thought that's crazy and googled that the game was then like 8 years old. I bought it used and i found their dlc system pretty disgusting and predatory, since they knew it's for kids and they dangle their dlc in front of them at all times so the parents will buy it eventually.
Anyway, i asked in a nintendo forum if that was normal for switch games, because i genuinely had no idea how they operated. I caught so much shit there. People telling me that it's a good game and the dlc is super worth it and it's best to just buy it, so the kids stop clicking on it and whatever. These guys buy a switch 2 no matter what and Nintendo knos that damn well
Ouch. I can imagine what fanatics are like, they always come out of the woodwork to chew on controversial media aha
On Android I got this Mario Run app, was really promising with a cute little base to customise and a lot of replayability, but three levels in and it wants you to pay £10 to unlock the rest. Hooks you in, then demands payment. I just feel like that's a surefire way to get money off the financially unwise.
I had the OG Switch and Mariokart 8, it's really good but not 'sink your life savings into' good lol.
