A GameBoy would have been cheaper, offline and worked without an account. Yet the author chose to spend his money on the Switch2.
What's the market to learn from this? You're saying one thing but voting with your wallet.
- Rohansi 9mo agoI agree with you but you can't just go out and buy a Gameboy anymore. And gaming is more of a social activity now where you'll need internet access.
- ndriscoll 9mo agoThey're called retro handhelds and you can get them for ~$30-40 at the low end, which can apparently run up through Playstation 1. In the $200-300 range (so still less than a Switch 2), you can apparently run up through Switch and maybe PS3.
- Rohansi 9mo agoI know about these but they require a lot more technical know-how to set up and getting ROMs is legally questionable. Your kid's friends are probably not playing those games either. They aren't a good option for most people.
