Are they legit charging money for the tech demo game?

Also did they mention how much the "upgrades" will be?

Seems like I'm staying on Steam Deck until that thing wears down into a pile of dust huh.

120 and 4K are often claimed on console specs but are rarely achieved within games. At best it will be capable of that when playing Netflix or streaming.

For me, its not the console price thats the problem. £395.99 in the UK but if we consider inflation, the switch 1 would be around £360-365 today. An extra £30ish for a bigger screen and more power is not too unreasonable. Plus ending in 95.99 rather than 99.99 suggests Nintendo have tried to trim the headline price down.

The real problem is the accessories and games. £75 for new pro controller, £50 for new microSD Express (only ones compatible) £50 for webcam and £67-75 for physical games, £59-£67 for digital.

Ouch.

Fuck nintendo and those prices.

7 seas for me.

$80 lmao and $90 they are insane

Guess GTA 6 is truly gonna be $100

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

Best switch console is still the steam deck I'm sure :3

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

LMAO

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.

I wonder how quickly the modding scene will crack it.

Can’t wait to never buy one. My switch has tears and BOTW on it, and those are the last games I’ll buy from Nintendo so..

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Nintendo gets greedy again.

High refresh screen and 4K support is a surprise to me, that's very nice when it comes to Nintendo standards.

On the other hand, It's very weird that they didn't announce a price at the showcase... It sounds like this might be more expensive than what everybody's expecting it to be.
