Given Nintendos never on sale pricing I cannot commit to this console. God 90 for a game is ridiculous.

Not to mention their awful peripherals pricing and chatoic lineup.

So it's $650 CAD $700 AUD for the Switch 2 and it's $120 CAD $150 AUD for Mario Kart.

LMAO

The prices plus the fact the "physical" games are just download codes (cartridges are not preloaded) really killed the hype for me. I was excited for the new Mario Kart. But $90 for a physical download code after the lackluster, unfinished feeling main titles (Animal Crossing especially) on the Switch has me kind of disgusted. The game "upgrades" also are a bummer. Mario Party Jamboree, while fun, also feels unfinished. A lot of Nintendo's newer games do, save for Zelda.

I just hope Tomodachii 2 is available on Switch 1. If it's not I'm just going to have to wait for a rip.

90€ for Mario Kart 🤡 I hope this console flops because of this alone.

That pricing is really putting Nintendo out of its core market. The reason the Switch was an absolute smash is because it was and remained accessibly priced. The fact they’re charging $450 is really putting them out of the “hey that’s not too bad” audience. This is a wildly bad move on their part.

Nintendo gets greedy again.

Console price doesn't bother me so much, but these game prices really instantly killed my hype. Can't wait to not buy the Wii U 2

Until March 31st, 2026, the GameChat system will be available for free for all Switch 2 owners

Is this so they can lock it behind the subscription after this? Along with all the other new features, not worth it for me. Getting the steam deck once I can't get anymore physical games on the switch 1.

I have never purchased a game at $70 so for $80 they can be sure as shit I am hard noping out of this one. I was a day 1 3DS (ambassador club!) and Wii U buyer. Really hope this backfires, so incredibly stupid

I think I'm going to hack my switch 1 now, and put some custom mario kart tracks on it

I think I might buy a steamdeck instead and just hope that the fromsoft game is a temporary exclusive

Guessing there's a lot of DLSS going into those resolution and framerate specs...

I wanna see what the price is and what reviewers think of the screen and I might get one and sell my Switch OLED.

However, with these game prices I sure as hell am not getting any games, I‘ll play through my backlog games which I‘ll also check whether and which will get updates. It‘d be really nice if the games I have that play at 30 fps would play at 60 and at 1080p native. Maybe I’ll get physical copies of Switch 2 games heavily discounted later on.
