Switch 2 Has Received Its Killer App

[iamthemilkman]

While I was excited for Bananza, I was expecting a 7 kinda game, I never thought it'd review this well.

I think its a bit early to call what the killer app is. Also a high ranking doesnt mean its going to move units.

 

[Bonkers225]

Donkey Kong isn't exactly a high demand IP for Nintendo.

 

[Questless Knight]

When you said killer am I taught it was a new AP that brick your Switch 2 as soon as you start it so Nintendo them self don´t have to. Soon they gonna sell you a dead Switch 2 right out of the box for 1000 dollars.

I mean does bloody idiots banned a dude for buying a pre-owned copies of a switch 1 games. Yes, seriously. The user was flagged when trying to download a patch — and Nintendo assumed it was piracy.
Yes he did get un-banned but honestly Nintendo should eat shit and go bankrupt.

Once Metroid Prime 4 comes out then I'll buy a Switch 2

Now when I read about Nintendo I feel sick, disappointed and angry.

 

[Isegrim]

Technically, the killer app that could draw me in into getting a Nintendo machine is an exclusive Monster Hunter game. But nowadays, Capcom seems to want to port their games on everything as long as it can run it.

Nintendo games always get high ratings. Not sure if I would go as far as giving it killer app status over open critic ranks.

F*ck Nintendo. Anyone that supports this anti-consumer company has no self-respect and is helping destroy this industry.

Yes, because Sony and Microsoft have always been so pro-consumer. And the industry isn't wholesale eating itself because of venture capitalists in general. Nintendo sucks and is absolutely anti-consumer, but don't pretend like all of these companies are any different. They all just want all of your money and time. Do you use Amazon? Google products? Shop at Wal-Mart or any other major big box store? By your own logic you have no self-respect for yourself and are destroying those industries by giving them money as well.

Yeah, that's true Sony and Microsoft are also a topic and one just as bad as Nintendo.

 

[Ferik]

Honestly even Valve has been less consumer friendly in the past than people like to admit, but at least they're a private company. All the publicly traded ones exist to please shareholders with your wallet contents by any means necessary.

 

[Pinballbuzzbro]

dont rly have a reason to buy a switch 2 cause aside from the 5 or so first party games a year what is there to it? all the other games thatll come to it will be infinitely better on pc/steam deck and the price is ludicrous for something so lacking in content IMO.

 

[Ezri_Muldoon]

That's cool.
But every third party Switch 2 cartridges currently available in my regions second hand re-sellers don't work.
Because the game data wasn't on the cartridge, just a used activation code, no actual game.
Funny how we didn't tolerate when the Xbox one tried to pull this nonsense, but you're all still hyping up Nintendo despite them being the most anti-consumer force in the gaming industry.

F#ck nintendo.

No company is pro-consumer. There’s still worse companies than Nintendo. Like EA, Microsoft, Sega, Ubisoft and Activision.

i like DK

Sure, Nintendo cartridges don't hold game data but I'm supposed to believe their less evil than the other companies who still sell you a product on disc?
Or the fact that Nintendo remotely bricks hardware you paid for and will only unlock it for a fee?

Remember how I stated how second hand re-sellers are now stuck with cartridges that don't contain any games?
Guess what else ends up in exchange stores. Welcome to 2025. Want a second hand Nintendo Switch 2?
Best I can give you is a bricked console lol

Companies have been trying to destroy the used game market through DLC Codes, season passes and now Nintendo is trying their hand at single use products & consoles.
The only difference is that Nintendo fans are so mindless that instead of pushing back (Like Xbox fans did with the always online a decade ago) they're out here claiming that they're somehow not the worst

How is Sega worse than Nintendo? Sega allows fan games.

Toxic work environment, especially back in the 90s. Also milks one franchise over all their other franchises. Also sometimes sells rushed and unfinished games (Sonic 06, Sonic Colors Ultimate etc.), extremely cocky and egotistical (they try to compete with various companies constantly), and they also like stealing ideas from other games and put them in some of their games.

Sonic Team is responsible for all the bad Sonic games. As for stealing ideas for games, Namco did that to Sega all the time.

You just described every AAA developer, but hey. At least they wouldn't sell me a game who's physical media expires after activating a license.
Wait, now they do. All thanks to Nintendo and exclusively on Nintendo's hardware.

I will take a unfinished game over a literally unplayable one.

Considering the path this thread took, I decided to make a thread about the game itself: https://retrogametalk.com/threads/donkey-kong-bananza-thread.12313/
