I did not pay full price for any switch 1 game. Much thanks to staying a few years behind and waiting for mar10 day, black Friday etc. Also to some extent thanks to game vouchers when "needing" a new game.
I will probably pay full price for Splatoon 4 since I spent 1000+ h in Splatoon 3 Maybe for a new 3d Zelda?
But I have quite a few backlog games that will be enhanced on switch 2, so I'm good for a while.
Needed a second switch for the kids, so they get my current and I get the new one...
My question is why they are using a picture of a switch 2 with almost no bezels?
I too would have liked it to look like that, but why are they using "fan art"?
...Pro controller... given that I buy anything at all. Still on the infamous fence... Maybe vacation time will take me to southern Europe where they are "cheap"...
I bought Splatoon 3 on a e-shop sale for $40. I would not have given it a try for any more than that.
Now I have spent 1000+ hours in that game.
Would I spend $80 on the next Splatoon if I had to? Probably. But also probably the only game that I could justify myself paying such a price.
I also bought mario kart 8 deluxe on a sale for $40 + the DLC. I still have not played all the tracks.
Will I buy World for $80? No.
Someone else probably have the opposite experience.
Pricing games must be a nightmare.
$80 is a price for for die hard fans of a certain game, I can't see massive mainstream sales... will be interesting to see.
I think we are still going to see Nintendo having e'shop sales on World in a year or two...
Enough people will buy it, out of curiosity if nothing else, due to all the conversations surrounding it. I would not be surprised to see a physical release...
Why would they not?
It's basically free money for them.
But I guess they'll wait a while so people start paying for the GameCube library first.
I have played this game to death so I'm out, but good news for the kids I guess.
Looks fun enough, but I'm a bit burnt out on MK 8. This is not a system seller for me, and not a game I would spend enough time in to justify the price. I might check out the MK direct to see if they can win me over...
No need for FOMO! You are welcome to Sweden and oreorder a $670 usd base modell and a $100 usd mariokart. Pre-orders has been open for days, and seems not to be going away in any hurry.

Hardware sure, software maybe not so much.

MKW for only $90 usd?
It's $103 usd where I live!
Re: Former Rockstar Dev Throws Shade At Mario Kart World, Says New GTA Will Be Worth The Price
Is this perhaps a AAAA game?

Re: Rumour: Ubisoft Might Already Be Teasing More Switch 2 Games
At least they are known to put games on sale. So I might try something out when I can't afford the game I really want to play.
Re: Grand Theft Auto 6 Has Been Delayed And Will Now Launch In May 2026

Re: Switch Users Are Getting Error Codes After Updating To Version 20.0.0
What is going on at Nintendo these days?
Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Buying Any Game-Key Card Switch 2 Games?

Re: Xbox Is Raising The Price Of Consoles, Accessories, And Games Worldwide
They too want to sell less games!
Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo Series Are You Most Excited To See Return On Switch 2?

Re: Switch 2's Dock Isn't Compatible With The Original Switch, According To Nintendo
That would have been too practical.
Pretty sure they could have solved it if they wanted to.
Re: Poll: Which Switch 2 Accessories Are You Picking Up At Launch?
...Pro controller... given that I buy anything at all.
Still on the infamous fence...
Maybe vacation time will take me to southern Europe where they are "cheap"...
Re: Nintendo Of America President On Timing Of Switch 2's Release Date
There is also no specific price for a system. Hence it is more than twice as expensive in the Nordic countries than in Japan.
Re: Nintendo Won't Have Enough Switch 2 Consoles To Satisfy Demand In Japan
I guess it is the cheaper Japanese only version that is in such high demand?
Re: Random: If We Could Get A Zelda: Wind Waker Sequel Like This, We'd Be Ecstatic
Cool yes. But I would rather have a true BOTW followup.
Re: The Best Nintendo Switch Games (2025)
Finally got around to playing Portal this weekend.
Amazingly no one had managed to spoil it for me, fantastic game!

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Switch 2 Rating Spotted Online
At least this will be on sale in a year or two. Might check it out if I have a switch 2 by then. Have only played Black flag.
Re: Rune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma Switch 2 Cart Will Apparently Also Work On Switch 1
Why can't Nintendo just explain how the switch 2 is working??
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 US Pre-Orders Start 24th April, System & Launch Game Pricing Unchanged
Same price, probably thanks to the "drop the price" movement and all the backlash online.
Re: Uh Oh, It Looks Like Select Switch 2 Games Won't Support Cloud Saves
... maybe cloud is only for $80 games...
or why not payed DLC?
Anything is possible!

Re: Video: 20+ Things We Still Don't Know About Switch 2
Will BOTW switch 2 edition have faster load times off the switch 2 cartridge then when playing from the old switch 1 cartridge on a switch 2?
Re: Nintendo Confirms Duration For Tomorrow's Mario Kart World Direct
I thought this would be another hour...
Why a direct for only 15 min, when they already had a full tree house for this game.
Better be 15 amazing minutes
Re: 123 Games You Should Pick Up In Nintendo's 'Save & Play' eShop Sale (Europe)
Finally TTYD at a reasonable price... I was kind of hoping to find it 2nd hand physically, but I might just cave in and buy it now...
Re: Sony Vet Shuhei Yoshida Says Nintendo Is "Losing Their Identity" With Switch 2
Still they managed to cause major confusion with this "safe" release.
I still don't know if switch 1 games will run better on switch 2 without any patches?
Re: Round Up: Here Are The First Player Impressions Of Switch 2
Wish I could feel the hype too.
I'm somehow tired of this system already.
If there at least could be some confirmation that switch 1 games has any relevant improvements on switch 2 without any patches...

Re: Mario Kart World Is Reportedly The Smoothest Entry Yet
"Just imagine racing at 120fps"
Yeah, I'm just going to imagine, not going to buy one in quite a while...
Re: Zelda: BOTW Switch 2 Edition Won't Include The DLC, Nintendo Confirms
@abbyhitter
I guess the problem is that people expected them to release a deluxe version, and are disappointed that they did not.
Re: Zelda: BOTW Switch 2 Edition Won't Include The DLC, Nintendo Confirms
I was planning to buy this since I played BOTW on wii U.
Now I better buy a second hand Switch 1 BOTW instead.
Way to go Nintendo!
Re: Opinion: The Switch 2 Is A Powerhouse For The Price
For all I care they could have replaced the screen, joycons and battery with a potato. I play 100% docked with a pro controller.
Re: Here's Why Switch 2 Joy-Con And Pro Controllers Don't Have Analogue Triggers
Maybe they're saving it as the gimmick for switch 3?
Re: Opinion: The Switch 2 Is A Powerhouse For The Price
Japan: yes!
Sweden: no!

I would not be surprised to see a physical release...
Re: Zelda Wind Waker Switch 2 GameCube Release Doesn't Rule Out HD Port
Why would they not?
It's basically free money for them.
But I guess they'll wait a while so people start paying for the GameCube library first.

Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of Mario Kart World Are In

Re: Ex-PlayStation Boss Comments On Switch 2's "Hefty" Price Hikes
Where I live I can choose to buy a Switch 2 base model or a ps5 slim Standart with AstroBot including a controller.
Not the world I'm used to!
Re: Talking Point: Does Switch 2 Have Nintendo's Best Launch Line-Up Ever?
No, I don't even se any reason to buy switch 2 att launch.
If you launch with Zelda you have a perfekt launch.
Re: Scandinavian Nintendo Fans Are Considering Flying Abroad For Cheaper Switch 2s
And that is why there is no problem pre-ordering in Sweden, not many seems interested in buying at those pieces.
Only comfort for me is that I'm not excited about the launch titles so I can wait.

"Not all of them may be ready to jump to Switch 2."
I think so too.
Re: The Switch 2 Won't Have Achievements Or eShop Music
I'm glad to not have to deal with achievements.
Music could have been nice... but maybe they will sell it for $10 down the line
Re: Nintendo Comments On Mario Kart World's Controversial Price
Imagine if they sold the regular MK experience, i.e. just the regular tracks, for $60. And then the "world" as a DLC for $20?
