BTW It's not the first time. I mean they used to sell this back in the day

It was basically an add for NES games.

Sony actually loves us.

 

[bender]

All they had to do was create a new Mario Paint. You blew it, Nintendo.

 

[near]

Miyamoto: Create a tutorial so they can learn about the system
Devs: Yes Miyamoto-san, lo and behold!
Miyamoto: WTF is this? You spent too much time and money. We'll have to make our fans pay!

 

[Fbh]

"Thanks for dropping $450 on our new Switch 2. Would you like to get to know some of the features on your new console?"

"Yes please!"

 

[Danjin44]

Why? I'm very hyped for Switch 2 but this weird as fuck!

No wants to pay for this? What Nintendo is thinking?

 

[CrimsonTide]

I will wait for the physical release of the paid tutorial

Maybe Limited Run Games will get on this

 

[Robb]

Paid

I was convinced this was some freeware thing they'd throw in. I'm still confused why it isn't.

 

[Kataploom]

Just don't pay for it, it's weird they're doing so, honestly it's so ridiculous that's even funny lol

 

[analog_future]

If this is any more than $10 I'm gonna find Reggie and fart in his cereal.

Reggie doesn't even work for Nintendo lol

Or is this just a fetish thing?

 

[Dacvak]

Reggie doesn't even work for Nintendo lol

Or is this just a fetish thing?

You clearly don't understand how the deep state controls gaming. Reggie may not in be office, but he's been pulling the strings and controlling Doug Bowser ever since he left.

Spoiler

Also yes, it's a fetish.

 

[Quantum253]

Yeah this is weird as a paid thing, should just be preloaded onto every Switch 2.

First thought it sounded cool, then realized it's a paid instruction manual with some mini games. Not sure why this isn't a preload unless there's more and they're not saying anything. It also seems that almost every major upgrade from the previous version is going to require you to purchase a bundle for it

 

[Parazels]

Is there a final boss?

 

[Rran]

I don't know what's more Nintendo-y, the fact that they made a charming interactive manual where you run around a giant gaming system, or the fact that they're charging for it.

I miss Iwata. He would've made this a freebie for sure.

 

[Saber]

This would be an incredibly stupid move. Wouldn't pay for this, it should a free game to present you Switch 2.

 

[Deerock71]

This is, quite possibly, the dumbest thing I've ever seen. I'm saying that even though they have a wheelchair basketball game coming out.

 

[DenchDeckard]

This gets announced to be free if the backlash is strong enough. Nintendo are one hell of a Nintendo company.

 

[applesaucejaxon]

I was shocked when they said this was going to be a paid game. Nobody is going to pay for this thing. Especially if it costs more than $5.

 

[SimTourist]

From the looks of it, the info seems really useful. "Press the power button on top to turn the console on", dude how do you think I am seeing this right now?

 

[tr1p1ex]

collection of minigames. I'll buy if it's cheap enough. I assume $10. Looks interesting.

 

[LordCBH]

This really should be a pack in like that Astro game that launched with the PS5 back in 2020

 

[jshackles]

Is there a final boss?

 

[darthkarki]

Truly unbelievable. Nintendo has fully lost the plot. They literally want you to pay for the privilege of consuming their marketing.

 

[user friendly]

Woops

 

[RoadHazard]

This being paid is the craziest thing I've ever heard. I was 110% sure this was gonna be their pack-in. Why would you ever buy this.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Best I can do is a dollar

 

[cireza]

I remember when Wii U got Nintendoland and it was pretty awesome. What a fucking joke they have become.

 

[dragonyeuw]

I was shocked at the $80 game pricetag, then I remembered they're charging for a system tour app that screams 'pack-in'. That was sufficient evidence that Nintendo was entering 'sheer fucking hubris' territory.

 

[AJUMP23]

The days of Wii Sports being included are long gone.

 

[XXL]

This gets announced to be free if the backlash is strong enough.

Love them or hate them I can promise you one thing....Nintendo doesn't give a fuck about backlash.

They have fucked over their own community so many times....and they pretty much never even say anything about it or address it...ever.

It's almost respectable how much they literally don't care.

 

[Shaki12345]

Nintendo saw how Sony got away with everything so they got some new ideas now.

Thanks Sony.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Nintendo diehards will defend this shit and then get 2 copies. 5 million seller minimum lmfao

 

[kyubajin]

Nintendo are out of their minds.

 

[graywolf323]

Thanks Sony.

this post is prime Poe's Law

 

[Walliwallipaloo]

Asking you to pay for the instruction manual.
Wow.

womp womp

 

[Fabieter]

For all of you peasants that think this will be 19.99€ max - watch it being 39.99€.

Thats the new 19.99€

 

[Sebastian1295]

Nintendo are the most anti-consumer company out of the big 3 and it isn't even close. This is one of the biggest jokes i've ever seen lmaooo. Charging u for a usual manual essentially lmaoooooo wtf.

 

[KungFucius]

Yeah this is weird as a paid thing, should just be preloaded onto every Switch 2.

compare this paid advertisement to the free Astro Playroom thing that came with PS5 which was both a tech demo and a decent AA game. It is kind of fucking embarrassing. Who the fuck wants to pay for a fucking marketing gimmick?

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

They can keep that shit.

 

[Gamer79]

the cheap bastards could not even include a free system demo?

 

[near]

Someone tag me when we find out how much this will be sold for. I need a good laugh.

 

[kevboard]

just like 1 2 Switch last time, this should have been a bundled in game, and I don't understand people who will buy it...

 

[Mr Hyde]

Feels like I'm taking crazy pills. Pay for a fucking digital manual that showcases the features of Switch 2? Sony paved the way for how a pack in game should look like demonstrating a consoles new feature FOR FREE. And it was also of very high quality. This is absurd. Switch made me a Nintendo lover. Switch 2 is making me a Nintendo hater. Fucking Twilight Zone

 

[BlackTron]

Not compatible with Nintendo Switch Game Voucher

Thanks Sony.

Sony got away with what? Bundling a superior game for free?

 

[Little Chicken]

I'm not surprised, Nintendo have the worst business practices of any console manufacturer.

 

[Shaki12345]

Sony got away with what? Bundling a superior game for free?

Sony did a good thing. Once.

Applause?

 

[jshackles]

Sony has Astro's Playroom, and Valve has Aperture Desk Job. Both free!

Read the room Nintendo. This is going to fail so hard lol
