video game Nintendo Base | Switch 2 launches June 5th; Trump tariffs HALT pre-orders

[Bad Decisions]

The problem isn't inflation per se, it's that wages have not kept up with inflation. I'm making almost the same I did a few years ago, give or take a few dollars, but things are so much more out of my price range these days that weren't back then

 

Anyway. I'm most likely going to give them my money next week when preorders open... but we'll see if I cancel last minute lol

[sunbathinganimal]

the UI being the exact same

BOTW switch 2 version being 80€... a 2017 game...

 

Looks like I won't buy a brand new Nintendo game on release day in a long time. Buying second-hand games have never felt so good before

I appears so. That would mean the cartridge slot will be only used with Switch 1 games

yeah, but I doubt this will ever be the case of any BIG game tbh. Only lazy developers will do this (Square Enix). 

 

Spoiler

I hope so

Best buy sent me an email saying that preorders go live on April 9th, but i signed up on Nintendo and they said batches of emails would go out in May so idk what to do

[QueenB]

I still can't believe they have an OLED screen for the switch... but for the switch 2 we are back at LED...

[thatsmydemi]

I ******* hate Square Enix with a passion 

 

what the **** do you mean you can't put a 11GB game into a cartridge? 
 

Bravely Default being digital only because they are lazy as ****. I just can't anymore.

Gotta collect those coins when they release an OLED version of the Switch 2 a couple of years later

[50thStateofMind]

MK World and DK Bananza look amazing  

 

MP4 looks so much better - never played a Prime game, but I might

 

canʻt wait for Hades II as well...

One of the things I'm looking forward to on Switch 2 is seeing this queen again

Not $70 for an almost 10 year old game.

[Kern]

I really want them to have my money but I swear I don't have any anymore

Oh, not them lowkey calling Bravely a flop...

[Topmaster 2]

And Playstation is the expensive one

[305]

I think the price for the console is fine considering the current market but the games being $80-$90 is absolutely ATROCIOUS 

[starstruckaj]

It's Nintendo slowly trying to kill physical game collecting for me, guess I'll be spending the next year completing my Switch 1 wishlist instead

[Comedor]

Have we heard anything about the games being region locked?

[Life Savers]

80 dollars?

fromsoftware have ROPED the doll in with their exclusive. DEATH to all of them

[KaledKalil]

I'll probably get the Switch 2 next year only, it's going to be hella expensive over here. 

[Shinkirou]

If Trump's newly announced tariffs go through y'all are going to be praying that Nintendo honors the prices announced today 

[SlowGinFizzzz]

Mario Kart looks great, but those prices are ridiculous. Guess I'll be sticking with my old Switch for now, I still have tons of games to finish and we have some new ones coming out in the future too, so I'll be fine.

I was so lucky to experience buying a game for 40€... I remember saving money for the new Pokemon game back in the day. If I had to save 90€, I would've never bought a single game. Poor children.  

This! Like, the first game I ever got was Pokémon Emerald in 2005 for € 40 (I know that because I kept the receipt inside the box until today, no idea why lol); throughout the DS and 3DS eras, games were € 40; even on the Switch, I don't think I ever paid more than € 50 for a game thanks to sales and special offers from Mediamarkt and other stores. I'm aware of inflation and everything, but € 90 for a video game is just taking the piss.

 

The absolute most I am willing to pay for a game is € 60, so if that's not enough for Nintendo, I guess I'll just keep playing my old games instead.

Can't wait to get a Switch 2 to play Gamecube games
