Lord

So I’m reading this as trump tariffs are not currently included in the USA pricing for the switch model and the tariff means that the console and games prices are yet to have the extra costs added.

Gotta admit this camera stuff and that dreadful mic stuff was like watching Wii speak and Kinect reveals from about 15 years ago

Not impressed

I don’t need the screen, give me a dock only model and price accordingly

Give me one without a screen which just works from the dock.
And reflect this in the price.

Tho I'm still not sure how the tariffs work.
Eg if the company is American but manufacturing is in another country does the tariff apply?

Not sure they have applied this yet. As it’s not in effect yet.

Just hours after the price of the Switch 2 was announced, a 46% tariff was applied to Vietnam (where the Switch 2 is manufactured) along with a 24% tariff to Japan (where Switch 2 cartridges are manufactured). Therefore it's possible, though not definitively confirmed, that Nintendo took this into account when pricing the console and games.

Looks like utter garbage

I really wish they would release one without a screen which can only be used docked. And a price to reflect that.

Will they remaster 2 as it might appear as part of the GameCube line up? Tho if they want to milk it a remaster would be a big cash income.

Shouldn’t have to pay for the instruction book…..bloody Nintendo are the scalpers here!

Can’t wait to replace my pro which has had serious drift issues for two years now.

Edit…I can’t see any preorders for pro controller S2

I’m betting you can’t chat with a headset and mic using the pro controller jack.

Sounds like a dream come true. My pro has major drift issues and I’ve not been able to use for about 1.5 years now. So really looking forward to replacing.

Sony don’t have a great track record for console to movie conversions.
Let’s also hope they don’t it give to Paul WS Anderson to direct.

@somebread I assume keeping it local stops pirates sending to cloned switches copying and then forwarding on for cash to other users. If you can only transfer with family group via local this issue is shut down.

Why so many apps what ever happened to consolidation

Much better direct than the west

Monster Hunter spin off eg great poogie adventure

Nintendo desperate to tell us all the farm sims coming for switch

No interest unless there’s some monster hunter love.
Stories 3
Port or remaster of an old game 1-4
Ultimate version of world + ice
Any silly poogie palico game.

Look when you can’t sell console numbers but you need the games to still sell numbers,…..put them on other consoles.
It worked for Sega and it will work for Xbox.
Just adopt the biggest instal bases and go flog your wares! It’s just good business sense.

It’s very light with casing that feels fragile…….its an 8!

Thank god that pokemon mega bricks stuff is bloody awful. Not even sure how they got the pokemon license as a knockoff LEGO product

In the UK £350 would be perfect price point, £399 will still sell but at a considerably slower rate.
Above £400 eg £429 or £450 will be a big mistake and would fail to get the attach rate required.
Above £450 and it’s dead in the water.

Would actually get the online expansion if it had Saturn and Dreamcast and GameCube

Is this the minecraft style playtest ?

Awful trailer, a real turn off.

With both PlayStation and Xbox joining the handheld market switch 2 needs to hit the deck running. As 2027/2028 will see some real though competition and at that point Nintendo switch 2 install base might only be around 35million.

It’s amazing how they got voice chat almost perfect in Wii u (apart from the unsheilded jack location to the power charging port)
And then we went so far backwards with switch it was like the Wii days.

Standard Capcom sale

Yeah I think there will be many companies who have relationship issues with America moving forward.

Seem to have got myself addicted to Monster hunter stories 1+2

Another third party supporting the switch.

Wait till you see what they have planned for switch 2

Think the commentary was more exciting than the shaft.

It’s amazing that many switch consoles were sold, with the switch 2 new less than 4 weeks away. Who’s still buy switch 1?

@Rob3008 they won’t port wilds to switch 2 it can barely run on a PS5

Good make Sega a strong force again!

Wow Sega number 1

Nintendo so far down, I’d even question some of those above Nintendo.

From What I’m hearing, it’s Mario kart and a causal crap game like 1-2 switch. The rest of 2025 is third party.

Plus switch 1 titles Metroid and Pokemon being playable on switch 2

Looks great! Will await more info of its release…..

Nintendo has a track record of hits and misses, the Wii was a big hit and the Wii u a flop. Switch has been another huge hit for Nintendo and I’m feeling the switch 2 might or might not be the flop.

But as I say to all my friends and gamers with other systems
I only buy Nintendo and previously Sega because that’s where the IPs I love are at and always will be!

I’d probably by some of the expanded library

Best NEO game - turf masters and one of the first hamster purchases I ever made!
Followed later by the best Konami game - sunset riders

Thank you hamster!

@GrailUK I love midway arcade treasures had it on my Dreamcast.
And repurchased 1-3 collection later on the next gen.

Paperboy, gauntlet, 720, gauntlet 2, pit fighter, hard driving, smash tv.

Sadly midway is now the property of Warner Bros and they have no interest in releasing any retro titles.

ZA looks great can’t wait to play.

Looks good, very close to the MD style

It’s a tricky one, as Nintendo can’t really wade in. Other than suspending both games until the copyright claim is resolved.

****It’s probably just me****

I feel bored to death with Mario Kart, it feels we’ve just had too much Kart from Nintendo over the last few years, what with 8 deluxe and then the additional booster courses, Mario kart tour and the fact we had 8 on Wii u as well with that extra dlc.

I know it sells but It’s been milked to death and lost its shine.

***Just basing on release rumours at current***

With the current rumours of lunch titles from all parties inc thirds.
I’ve no interest in purchasing a switch 2.

Nintendo really need to pull something out the bag for April direct to change my mind.
