Not all value is monetary, although it’s interesting that you default to assuming that.
You're the one that said it, not me

Part of the difficulty is that Nintendo have hitsquads that will blow your city if you even look sideways at one of the screw.
Blow a whole city? That's dedication

There is nobody with more dedication than IP lawyers and Nintendo.

Great video. That's a disappointing outcome though.
It was interesting to hear though that Nintendo hasn't made any replacement parts available for the original switch, despite the fact that New York State apparently requires this by law.
I wonder if they'll be forced to comply with that at some point. There are probably other jurisdictions that require this or that will require this soon. I'd love to see some pressure applied to companies that don't make replacement parts available.

At this point I trust in the EU to force Nintendo to play the right-to-repair game.

Maybe if it was 349 or 399... but 499 is wild
That's not even the biggest issue for me. The $80 games that never get discounted will cost a lot more than that pretty quickly. Plus I know they push their subscription service too.
As a PC gamer, fuck that. I'll play cheap better games on my free operating system that I actually control on my hardware that I can repair and replace easily. Nintendo games interest me, but not nearly at the price they're asking for with what they're offering.

I feel like you're biased in favor of Nintendo. "They make durable products" while also being infamous for the joysticks drifting. Those don't seem to gel together. Maybe they're hard to totally break, but they seem to be fine with selling products that degrade pretty quickly.

I'm not a fan of the use of glue in the joycon sides and the fact that the color strips under the controllers are hiding screws.
I'm not even surprised when I find screws under stickers or rubber pads anymore, it's become all too common. And like a dad, at this point it doesn't make me angry, just disappointed.
It does tell me a lot about what to expect from the manufacturer though. Anyone who actively hides their screws is no longer on my side, they've just branded themselves as an adversary. At that point I know I'll be better off buying 3rd party replacement parts, I know to ignore any "recommendations" from the company.

Yeah, the EU has shown they're serious when it comes to consumer protections. It's great to see!

I wonder if Nintendo will ever embrace repairability like some phone companies have
I guess there's more competition in phones than in devices that can run Mario Cart
Or Mortal Combat.

Are you fucking kidding? They didn't switch to Hall effect?
Still has an LCD panel, and still has regular sticks. I guess saving 0.10$ per unit adds up

Battery life and weight. That’s what keeps me from getting a pc handheld. Although the switch 2 is so big I don’t know if that holds true anymore
The steam deck has great battery life (better than my original switch by a lot) unless you're playing something super heavy, and it's so much more comfortable to hold that the bit of extra weight isn't that big a deal. I don't think I've touched my switch since I got a deck

Not a problem. I wasn't gonna buy one amyways.

2 hour battery time

After the initial excitement I think the Switch 2 is gonna bomb. Offers too little for too much.
I hope you're right. Nintendo has turned into a bunch of cocky assholes and they need to be taught a hard lesson. I hope the Switch 2 flops so hard, costing them so much that they don't have any spare money left to continue suing the Palworld devs. They need to be put in their place.
