    I have barely ever bought anything for my Switch, only a couple of big titles for Zelda and Mario. It’s just too expensive and there are hardly ever any sales. And any third-party games I can get much cheaper on PC anyway.

    The pricing also made it really difficult to understand which games were newer, like I looked at Pokemon games and the much older ones were also still priced as if they were new.

      You should look into hacking your switch. If you can’t do it the easy way, there’s another way that’s not for the faint of heart, but I did it and have never spent a dollar more on games since.

        V1 switch just needs a jig, simple. V2 switch picofly is affordable and accessible to diy with some soldering skills. With the OLED models they put one of the points underneath a BGA chip making that more difficult.

        But getting one installed from an actual shop will still only cost the price of a Nintendo game or two.
