This take is in bad faith, because most people that are going to buy a switch 2 already have a switch and you can play older games on it and it's only 10$ to upgrade if there is a new edition for a game you have. And it's true that Nintendo doesn't really discount older games but you can buy them used for cheap.

There are freaking expensive games on Steam just as there will be cheap indie games on the Switch 2, the meme is pretty stupid.

oh but you have to pay extra to have access to the GameCube games. in addition to being able to play online.
man if i didn't love splatoon so much id stop bothering with Nintendo
Everyone knows what Steam does better, but there are a few things I wish they'd improve :
- more granular touch display
- higher resolution screen + larger higher res touch pad surfaces
- TMR sticks
- a REAL dock with simpler connection of some kind that doesn't require a weird USB-C connected cable dangling off the top (but still would support 3rd party docks with that USB-C port)
- better vibration motors
- pressure sensitive face buttons (this hasn't been done standard since the PS2 era, but would open up the possibility of PROPER PS2 emulation for games like MGS2 and MGS3, which STILL hasn't been done right thanks to the disappearance of pressure sensitive face buttons)
- hot-swappable batteries that can be charged in the Deck or externally if needed
- haptic triggers
- NFC
- built-in microphone array to allow voice chat + isolation
- built-in simple web cam / IR sensor array for face tracking / video chat / streamer setup
- advanced optional stylus with pressure sensitivity / pointer function similar to a wii-mote that can be stored / recharged on top magnetically / wirelessly
That’s because 90% of steam games are trash.
This statement manages to be sorta true while also missing that there's more great games on steam than the entire, mature Switch 1 library.

Who the fuck is paying $90 for a Nintendo game? I didn't pay half that for the whole Star Wars set.
Who the fuck is paying $90 for a Nintendo game?
No one, the most expensive games on Switch 2 so far are $80. The meme is spreading false information just to make people angry and farm upvotes.

n65 games are going for $50/cartrige these days. They're actually a commodity.
My sole motivation for ever buying a Nintendo product would be for Pokémon.
