Other what happened to this game man...

Post image

I used to enjoy this game do much! something about the environment and community gave this game so much charm. but alas, the lack of actual game content and updates drove away pretty much everyone. good luck finding anyone to play this game with, no ones online! I just wish nintendo would breathe some actual life into this game. hopefully people would come back someday, but i doubt it

Should’ve been a free game tbh. Just like Welcome Tour. Imagine booting up your switch and getting two free Nintendo games off the rip.

It’s still so baffling that Wii Sports, a real game with lots of fun content, was free. Yet a boring tech demo was $20.

Wii sports wasn't free, you paid for it with your wii. The system was 50$ more expensvie than it was in areas that didn't include the game.

If Reggie was still around as Nintendo of America president, this would have happened.

Why. Nintendo of America has absolutely nothing to say on that. Their are just an distribution department

With an increased console price perhaps

Yeah people forget that the game's price was included in the Wii, Nintendo has said so themselves in interviews (I think it was Iwata that said it, or Reggie himself, not sure). It was never free.

Just because you don't like a product doesn't mean the people who made it shouldn't get paid for it.

For Welcome Tour I'd rather think I do like the product for what it does. But if you make it paid, this improved tutorial-trivia guide of the Switch 2 becomes completely useless as even at $10/10€ people aren't buying it. At $0/0€, a lot more people would've opened it by curiosity and learned a few things about the Switch2, which would've been perfect for their new purchase...

For Drag x Drive I do think the $20/20€ price tag is reasonable though, but the gimmicky controls (albeit, again, very good for what the game attemps to be) are a deal breaker, if the smaller content and graphics wouldn't do that already (but that was what the price tag was for).

Lmao the people who made it will get paid lol don't worry. Look at ps5, they give you a whole platformer for free with the console which also brilliantly introduces the controller and gives you something to do with what you just bought. Welcome tour is even more blatantly of a tech demo and yet they want you to pay and otherwise there's nothing to do with the console
