    Welp. Said a while ago that I wasn't intent on getting it. But... Darn it, as "eh" as I was about Splatoon Island at first, the second I saw Shiver and her new outfit in the game, and how cool it looks... Just when I thought I was out on this, they keep pullin' me back in.

    Well... Can't say I'm surprised that the launch of this console turned out to be an easily-avoidable blunder. I dislike saying it and it sorta makes me sad to say so, but... ...I very well may have mentally called it, what with the hardware and software pricing, the TOS, the "We'll brick your console if you do this thing!", the day one patch... Yeah, this had and still has "laughable red flag disastrous blunder" written all over it. I'd be shocked if Doug Bowser and even Furukawa even keep their jobs. I sense that heads are going to roll and they'll have to replace them, hopefully not with a former turd from EA and an *accountant* of all people...!

    Well... I'm pretty annoyed and disgusted. An individual in my family decided to pre-order a launch day Switch 2 when I explicitly and CLEARLY spelt it out to them NOT to do so and to wait months for the all but inevitable price drop. It irks me when people do such things... Makes me go "...Really? And you didn't think to approach me to ask for my permission or lack thereof on this?..."

    Let's just hope Furukawa comes to his senses and, fingers crossed, lowers the price.

    And where did that get them? A massive online backlash. It's so apparent that Doug Bowser was such a poor hiring choice for Nintendo of America.

    Raising the price would basically be ensuring that the console rots on shelves and we'd end up with a semi-Wii U situation. The way I see it, we're very much in a 3DS-style situation, truth be told. If they dropped it around, say, $350 and the games weren't $80 USD (darn near $100 CAD), then there would never have been such a strong negative reaction to the pricing of it all.

    It might be an uphill battle, sure, but I'm sure they can find a way, fingers crossed with hope. It would be economic *death* if they raised the price instead of lowered it, which they most likely full well know.

    I don't see it being a Wii U situation. I do, however, think that it will end up being far more similar to the one which had happened to the poor Nintendo 3DS at its launch. For a quick rundown refresher: Nintendo overpriced the 3DS back in 2011 at $249.99, all while launching with a horrifically weak, small lineup of games; It was so bad that it caused Satoru Iwata to cut the price by an astonishing $80, down to $169.99, iirc. ...I have a feeling that this might have a rhyming repeat effect with the Switch 2, even in spite of all these tensions and such going on in the world.
