Don't want to keep using the Switch 2 Direct Thread for general Switch 2 discussion, and since nobody else has created a general Switch 2 discussion thread, I am. The leaker who told us about Metroid Dread, Mario & Luigi and a number of other accurate predictions just posted that Indiana Jones, Ninja Gaiden 4, DOOM The Dark Ages and Hellblade 2 are coming to Switch 2. Listed quite a few others too, I just can't remember which ones.

I've been a bit annoyed of publishers selling games for us EU consumers by simply changing the dollar sign to euro, even though the euro has been worth more for a long time.

Lets look at one case. Bananza is 70 Euros digital in Germany. Germany has a 19% VAT so pre-tax the game costs 58.82. At the current exchange rate that is $67.83 US, which is cheaper than the pre-tax US price of $70.

of course VAT varies from country to country in Europe and some countries have additional fees as well for selling things like games so the actual story is much more complicated.

The new digital US prices may end up with the US prices being cheaper of course but they haven't been for the last 9 months.

I know that in the US retail prices in stores are given without taxes (which was very confusing for this European when I visited the country for the first time), but does the same apply to online storefronts too? So if a game is 60 dollars in the eShop or Steam, in the US that actually means 60 dollars + taxes?
