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.

There’s a price on the UK official store: £395.99 for the system. £429.99 including digital copy of MKW.

Preorders open on 8th April.

Edit: Physical copy of Mario Kart on its own is £74.99. Woof.

Nothing yet on the US store. Tariffs threw a wrench in their plans, I reckon.

Edit: $449 apparently.

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

Judging by the bit of Prime 4 they showed, I think their first party titles will just skip ray tracing and use relatively low-poly models.

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.

Looks like $629.99. Never sure if it's CAD or USD but my Nintendo account is Canadian.

[–] simple@lemm.ee 24 points 4 days ago

That's CAD, it's $450 in the US.

And you'll be sued by Nintendo into lifelong poverty if you use it wrong.

Fuck Nintendo.

I'm personally very excited for Prime 4, DK Bananza, and Hyrule Warriors Imprisoning War, as well as F-Zero GX getting released from the vault. Maybe not hyped enough to pay day 1 prices though

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