I'm not as made as many about the prices, we've dealt with this in Australia for ages. For example if I want a physical copy of Hello Kitty Island Adventure on Switch the cheapest I can find is $89.99.
Mario Kart World will be $100+ but that's most PS5 XBox games here.
It's not going to happen and thanks to Mango Mussolini putting a Tarrif on basically every country but Russia things will probably get more expensive going forward.
@dre8472 no it doesn't. The only games I can see with game keys are Bravely Default and Street Fighter and it says on the front how big a download they are.
The amount of blatant racism I've seen over this (not here obviously we are adults) has been disgusting. It's a Japanese company, if it wants to focus on it's home it 100% can.
Prime 4 is an OG Switch game. End of story. Metroid is niche and just not a priority for Switch 2. I'd argue even something like Pikmin is more popular these days.
@splatoonaddict Sony is co-producing with Nintendo and just like with Universal with the Mario movie I'm sure Shiggy and the gang will have them on a tight leash.
The usual suspects around here who moan and complain about every single game that gets released on NSO should get their comments deleted. It's just sad and pathetic at this point.
Considering I know Nintendo take a bigger cut than even freakin Disney (that's why the sets are usually that bit more expensive than others roughly the same size) I'm scared what these prices will be.

Re: Nintendo Apologises As Japanese Store & eShop Malfunction For Five Days
So much for people boycotting it, huh?
Re: Minecraft Gives Mario A Box Office Beating With Record-Breaking Opening
I took my niece and nephew and unlike the Mario movie I hated every second of this crap.
Jack Black's shtick just isn't funny anymore and Jason Mamoa phoning it in wearing one of Joan Collins's old wigs from Dynasty didn't help.
4/10.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Nintendo Switch 2 Special
That EU Breath Of The Wild cover is awful. It looks like I drew Link.
Re: Did Donkey Kong Bananza Key Art Accidentally Leak A Big Surprise?
@squidduforeal Agreed. It's probably more like them keeping Cappie's ability secret during the first Mario Odyssey trailer.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 Cross-Progression Confirmed, Performance & Resolution Detailed
@GrailUK Interesting. I hold out hope then.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 Cross-Progression Confirmed, Performance & Resolution Detailed
Projket Red have got my money for how much effort they are putting into this.
Unlike From Soft and their lazy effort
with Elden Ring.
If a game as vast as Cyberpunk can fit on a cartridge, so can Elden Ring.
Re: Random: Bowser's Peach Wallpaper And More Updated In New Switch 2 Parental Controls Video
Peach actually winking in the new wallpaper 😆
Re: Elden Ring's Switch 2 Physical Version Seemingly Tarnished By 'Game-Key Card' Release
If all of Cyberpunk can fit, all of Elden Ring can. This is cheapness from From or Nintendo or both.
Re: Nintendo Treehouse 3rd April 2025 - All Switch 2 Gameplay Reveals
@Beetoe Why? What's the point?
It's not going to happen and thanks to Mango Mussolini putting a Tarrif on basically every country but Russia things will probably get more expensive going forward.
Re: Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle Will Be A "Limited Time" Offer
@dre8472 no it doesn't. The only games I can see with game keys are Bravely Default and Street Fighter and it says on the front how big a download they are.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077's Physical Edition On Switch 2 Won't Require A Download
Nice. That big red border is unnecessary though.
Re: Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle Will Be A "Limited Time" Offer
I'd rather the physical version anyway.
Re: PSA: Switch Online Includes Switch 2 Edition Upgrade Pack Access At "No Additional Cost"
They really should of advertised this more.
Re: Nintendo Is (Kinda) Returning To Region-Locking With A Cheaper Japanese Switch 2
The amount of blatant racism I've seen over this (not here obviously we are adults) has been disgusting. It's a Japanese company, if it wants to focus on it's home it 100% can.
Re: Switch 2 Games Cost A Bit More Than You're Probably Expecting
The pricing sucks but Thank god for my work discount.
Re: Rumour: GameCube Revival Planned For Nintendo Switch Online
I worry it will be a Switch 2 exclusive. But we'll see I guess.
Re: Video: Metroid Prime 4 Looks Great, But Here's Why The Latest Trailer Isn't Switch 2 Footage
Prime 4 is an OG Switch game. End of story. Metroid is niche and just not a priority for Switch 2. I'd argue even something like Pikmin is more popular these days.
I'm sorry but it's true.
Re: Switch Online's Missions & Rewards Adds Classic Kirby Icons
@drypaphmrbro I thought it was a blue flame, but that's cool too.
Re: Switch Online's Missions & Rewards Adds Classic Kirby Icons
Ooh. I like that blue one a lot.
Re: Rumour: More Switch 2 Development Kit Rumours Emerge Following Report Of "3-Phase Launch Plan"
I'm fully expecting an exclusive or timed exclusive game from someone big. Possibly Square Enix of Ubisoft.
Re: Random: Fantasy Life's Animal Crossing Parody Starring 'Tim Crook' Is A Good Laugh
Tom Nook will not take this disrespect and slander.
He will come to collect on all those Bells you owe Level 5.
Re: Hang On, Are People More Excited For Tomodachi Life Than Switch 2?
@KBuckley27 True. If only Americans understood this as well about their opinions.
Re: Rumour: Zelda Live-Action Movie Will Reportedly Be Part Of A "Trilogy"
@splatoonaddict Sony is co-producing with Nintendo and just like with Universal with the Mario movie I'm sure Shiggy and the gang will have them on a tight leash.
Re: New Details And Rumours About Zelda Live-Action Movie Revealed
??? Signing these actors up for multiple movies in a franchise like this happens every day in Hollywood. It means nothing.
I'd be more worried if they didn't tbh.
Re: Switch 2 Pre-Orders Expected To Sell Out "Day One" Due To Limited Unit Allocation
@Koffeeking0407 the fact you current administration got voted back in tells me otherwise.
Re: Talking Point: What We Expect From The Switch 2 Direct
I can't wait for the usual online "personalities" who have been posting about EVERY rumour and leak to say how underwhelming the reveal was.
Re: Switch 2 Pre-Orders Expected To Sell Out "Day One" Due To Limited Unit Allocation

Re: Huh, The Pokémon Company's Statement On TCG Shortages Sure Looks Familiar
At the end of the day the Pokémon company can really only do so much once the cards leave them.
For example, where is the onus on some retailers who let people fill their trolleys with products?
Re: Ubisoft Opens New Subsidiary Backed By Tencent For Assassin's Creed And Other IP
Tencent and Ubisoft together make other hellspawn like EA look like a fluffy kitten.
Re: 'Nintendo Today', A New Mobile App, Will Deliver Fresh Switch 2 News Every Day
@RupeeClock well that might stop certain sites cough Kotaku cough deliberately twisting things to suit their narrative.
Re: Random: Chances Are You've Been Pronouncing 'Balatro' Wrong
Wait a minute. Bart's teacher is named Krabappel?! I've been calling her Crandall!
Re: Ex-Nintendo Duo Unsure Mario Kart 9 Will Be An Instant "Slam Dunk" For Switch 2
Newsflash to Kit and Krysta:
It probably won't sell as well as 8 Deluxe and that's fine. 99.9% of other games won't either.
It's a very rare thing for 8 Deluxe to do the numbers it did and probably won't ever be repeated.
Which again, is fine.
Re: Random: Sakurai Sends Fans Into Meltdown Ahead Of Switch Direct
It's entirely plausible the Kid Icarus remaster is done and has been sitting in the Nintendo vault for ages now.
Sakurai posting is interesting though. To me it seems he is a man who never comments without purpose.
Re: New No Man's Sky Update Lets You Live Out Your Palaeontologist Dreams
Okay. This is totally gonna get me back into the game.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed For Tomorrow, 27th March 2025
@Clark2k Only Nintendo is brilliant/insane enough to compete with itself.
Re: After Copying Smash's Homework, MultiVersus Publisher Was Apparently Turning To Mario Kart Next
Why would I want the Temu version when I can get the quality product already?
Re: Select Pokémon Card Pre-Orders Cancelled After New Expansion's Disastrous Launch
Less for scalpers and people who open them on YouTube/Twitch.
Good.
Re: Nintendo Reuploads Game Vouchers Trailer With Switch 2 Fine Print
Not surprised in the slightest.
Re: Forget The Lawsuit, Pocketpair Says Palworld On Switch 2 Is "100% Worth Considering"
@swoose indeed. It's very Sony fanboi speak. Quite pathetic.
Re: Rumour: A Switch 1 Direct Presentation May Take Place This Week
There's a chance for a partners showcase, maybe and that's a big maybe.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Nobunaga's Ambition (SNES)
That font on the US version is soooooooo late 80's/early 90's it isn't funny.
Re: Reminder: Nintendo Is Removing A Switch Online SNES Game Next Week
I do wonder why it's leaving. I'm assuming it's not Nintendo's choice and has everything to do with Spike Chunsoft.
Re: Pokémon's Team Rocket Is Returning To The Trading Card Game In A New Set
I want that chibi Meowth & Giovanni card!
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's SNES Library With Four More Titles
The usual suspects around here who moan and complain about every single game that gets released on NSO should get their comments deleted. It's just sad and pathetic at this point.
Re: Random: Did You Know About These Hidden Animations In Pokémon Stadium?
I don't think bloodshot eyes are allowed anymore.
Re: Review: 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Bluetooth Controller - Probably The Best Budget Switch Pad
Interesting. Might be a good cheap choice for my nephew.
Re: Pokémon GO Promises It Won't Introduce "Intrusive Ads" Or Playtime Restrictions
I'd trust what Scopely says as much as I trust what Trump says...
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Dream Pokémon LEGO Set?
Considering I know Nintendo take a bigger cut than even freakin Disney (that's why the sets are usually that bit more expensive than others roughly the same size) I'm scared what these prices will be.
Re: Pocketpair Recalls "Depressing Day" Nintendo Announced Its Palworld Lawsuit
Yawn. Sorry. Sob stories don't work on me.
