They'll be priced in line with the physicals. You can't bring a new game to market and undercut physical stores with a cheaper price on your own storefront.

No one would keep the game in stock physically.

It's over.

Best thing to do is get a second Nintendo account in a different region where you can easily buy Nintendo gift cards right now.
PC Gaming :win:

Bruh Nintendo sets the price for the Switch 2. Not the US. You must be tripping.
Correct. But after they set their price, they have to ship it to the United States, where the US supplier (e.g., Walmart, Gamestop, whatever) has to pay the US government a tax on it. So Nintendo probably factored like $30-40 or so into the price to cover the tariff..and now they have to factor in like $200, because nobody thought there was going to be a 50% tarriff out of Vietnam and 60% out of China. It’s a fukking mess.

Imagine how much they are gonna charge if they start making games with the same graphical and technical fidelity as sony's first party, Rockstar, cd red and other high end studios.

Damn, :picard:

Let's be real, they saw people have no problem to cop pre-order edition in order to play early game before release day over $100. Don't blame them for fishing $$$, blame on people.

I think the opposite soon as parents see that the games are 100 dollars they are going to say fukk it they can get a steam deck. Nintendo about to fukk around and find out on this. Like it’s one thing the console being expensive but a 100 dollars for funky ass Mario kart game. I don’t know about that.
Facts.

Plus we gotta remember. "Parents" today are not old Silent Gen/Boomers like OUR parents were in the 80s and 90s.

The parents buying games now....are young Gen X, Millenials and the oldest Gen Zers. That means, games are being bought by people that grew up gaming and know the various alternatives (PS5, Xbox, Steam/ROG, PC etc).

Nintendo has strong brand loyalty which helps.....but spending potentially $500 for some PS3/early PS4 graphics and playing the same damn games we played on Wii, Wii U and Switch.......

Wife and I each have a Switch 1. It's fun to play with sometimes. Sat in the lobby and played Mario Kart while she got her teeth cleaned...and she did the same when I got my teeth cleaned. Not seeing a good reason to upgrade. Cartoon graphics are fine on S1. Don't need S2 for that.

4080
I7 cpu

my shyt aint even top of the line any more and still gets 60 fps on max for most new games.
Cope for what? I used to be a PC DWEEB.... It's 💯 times more convenient to play on consoles.

You nikkas not even real PC heads. Real PC heads have their whole rigged saved in notepad ready to stroke that epeen at the drop of a hat.

What's your drive capacity?
What display you using?
What case?

You talking bout getting only 60+ FPS on PC like that's a flex in 2025 :mjlol:

Oh come on let's be fair. The thing is running Cyberpunk 2077 as well as the mid-tier PC handhelds and Xbox Series S.

The audacity of some of y'all dudes:picard:



Afters years of championing or spending hundreds of dollars on hardware and peripherals and random HD remake upgrades the same folks want to act like Nintendo is out of pocket for following the trend you established was ok.


Dudes was buying PSVR2 an addon for a system for more than the actual system cost at launch, bought a PS portals at launch that only let you stream games from the system to it and then bought a pro version of a machine they already owned for 700.

Now these same folks got concerns.

:mjlol:
