Damn I'm gonna have to wait until the 5th instead of the midnight release. I'm working the night off the 4th 
@ChristiJunior @rasterman for the most part, as a kid we got games for Christmas and sometimes for birthdays. My siblings and I would often strategize what games to ask for so we could get all we wanted haha. There was also a LOT of game renting, which made things a lot easier on my dad's wallet I'm sure. The only consoles I've ever gotten at launch were the ps4/ps4 pro, because I saved up for them. Everything else was always like a year after launch at least. People are acting extremely entitled about this whole thing man. Especially when I'm sure they've all been paying that much money for slop anyway.

@Rasterman As an oldfag, I can confirm that the prices of N64 games were insane, adjusting for inflation.
People are also talking about BotW now being a 90 dollar game on the Switch 2 (with all the DLC), as if Smash Bros. Ultimate wasn't a 120 dollar game when you factored in all of its Paid DLC.
I'm never been one who considered (good) video games remotely overpriced, certainly not compared to any other form of entertainment media - I just don't really talk or argue about it because hey, why would I fight against getting cheaper games? I believe in taking my own side, and I'm a video game consumer, not a video game maker, so do the math.
That said, I've certainly never committed myself to refusing to pay 80 bucks for a game if it's actually good, nor would I ever even entertain that idea. And I'm hardly outraged about a premium portable console that's apparently stronger than the PS4 and actually has games being priced 449 dollars, when Soyny sold a glorified doorstop for 499 and people acted like that was reasonable.
As someone with a full-time job, money saved up, and who only really splurges on vidya, the Switch 2 is a total no-brainer day 1 purchase, given just how well the Switch 1 has served me. Either it won't drop in price, in which case delaying the purchase won't achieve anything, or it WILL get an early price drop, in which case I'll almost certainly get a bunch of nifty Ambassador rewards for buying it early, like I got when the 3DS got its early price drop (I didn't even get that one at launch, just when Ocarina of Time 3D dropped).

@flux_the_cat maybe making a character whose name is their skin color black was a bad idea

I gotta call up the local gamestop soon and ask about the switch 2 pre-orders. Like, do I pre-order online or does it have to be in store? I HOPE it's in store because that's a major advantage for me. I'll deadass wait for 5 hours outside to get in there right when they open and I don't think many other people around here are willing to do that lol.
@axfes hope you get feeling better soon!
