With games now jumping from one generation of consoles to the next, when is the best time to play something? Is there ever a best time?

    That’s a little disingenuous. There are other gameplay features added for the Switch 2 version.

      You mean the app guide and building sharing through QR? That’s on your phone. I speak for BOTW and TOTK.

        What does it being on your phone matter? As I understand it, you cannot do it on the switch 1 version of the game. It is a new feature added to the switch 2 version of the game.

          1st, they could made it to Switch too, there is no need for extra console.

          2nd, both games had companion apps free from community, so its a minor improvment to that

            This is integrated to the point the app is aware where in the world you are. It’s okay to charge for new things, one reason being that people eat and food costs money.

              If you want to pay, go donate to the guys that made the companion apps, not multibillion companies offering trinkets…

              Oh, why i even bother, Nintendo fanboys…

                Nintendo employs people who eat. Go explain why you want to freeload to someone who believes it ;)

                  Freeload? I had payed 70€ for TOTK, if i ever buy Switch 2 that’s another 450€, and you call that freeloading? So 520€ is freeloading and not the 10€ they ask to run the game. If this was not an anti consumer tactic, you could play the fucking game no matter what in Switch 2, and ask 10€ only for these “upgrades”.

                  I would like to know if even you would pay for this, fanboy.

                  PS Thanks Playstation fanboys who made this a today norm.

                    You can play your copy of TOTK on Switch 2 without paying. Upgrade with enhanced graphics and new features is paid. Nobody is taking anything away from you. Nobody promised anything more.

                  Other big companies offer bigger free upgrades for years without demanding more money from who already bought game (Minecraft says hi), indie developers have less sources of revenue and lots of them still offer updates for longer than even a console life cycle - and neither are tying the updates to buying a brand new console.

                    Someone giving something away for free doesn’t mean other have to. Different companies can think what’s best for them independently. They don’t owe us anything because we live in capitalism.
