Figured we could have a new thread for the system coming up, all the current news and such related to it for people to discuss since it's releasing soon.
They did come out to say that there will be games with free updates that will improve performance and visual clarity. They are doing it in the Nintendo way though by only having a limited number of games right away, 12 of them. It seems that updates that may add "content" are what will lead to the upgrade packs, though in the case of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, that "content" is a garbage, useless, app to justify charging money. It's very skeezy.

Guess there's no reason to when they already sold 30 million copies of the game and their new one is about to release. Such a half-assed franchise. Sorry, I'm venting, because I want to like Pokemon games again, but it's a real struggle with all their terrible choices lol
