@PtM Again, how are they raising prices if the physical copies of most first party exclusive Switch 2 games have been $70? The game was NEVER advertised as being $60 physically
@PtM
That's what I'm confused about. What about this news makes you think that people in America are going to have to spend the equivalent of what people in Europe pay to play phyaical? People are claiming that Yoshi was announced as $60 and that Nintendo changed their mind on the physical price, but this is the first time we've heard about the price of the game at all in America. See the last paragraph of this article, where they state the American price was still unknown
@Grumblevolcano £59 is about $80 while £50 is around $65. Again the physical copy of Yoshi in the U.S. is $70 while the digital is $60, so I'm not sure how this means the physical price is increasing
@Strawblaze Most Switch 2 exclusive games in America save MK World have been $70. How is the physcial price being raised when Yoshi is also $70 for physical while digital is $60?
@Grumblevolcano How is this a price increase for physical? Other than Mario Kart World and some of the Switch 2 Editions, the Switch 2 original games have been $70. Yoshi is still that price physically, but digitally it will be $60
@RupeeClock The event is almost literally the same as something like Bunny Day in New Horizons as a way to get new furniture. I don't think the Pokemon in the event actually have any sort of impact on the gameplay
@The_Nintendo_Expat Dude I'm only trying to explain why they probably focused more on the multiplayer then they did single player. I didn't realize stating facts was "making excuses" for them. I wasn't even planning on buying this game right now anyways and will wait for a sale
@The_Nintendo_Expat Camelot has an extremely small team of about 40 employees. I assume that's why they decided to prioritize multi player over single player
@TitanSix They have Mario Tennis Fever, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave, Pokeopia and (if the leaks are accurate) Pokemon Gen 10 for this year, alongside Splatoon Raiders most likely. I think Mario Wonder is the only other upcoming Switch 2 Editiom for the time being (and let's be realistic, I don't think there's a whole lot of other games they could do a Switch 2 Edition of outside of Smash Ultimate, Three Houses and the Xenoblade games)
@PessitheMystic
I mentioned Reggie because people seem to have rose tinted glasses when it comes to the guy. He was a good CEO but people have come to the conclusion that he cared more about the fans than Bowser when in reality both had profits as their priority. Not to mention how fans had to petition him to get Xenoblade, Pandora's Tower and The Last Story released in America.
@PessitheMystic How is Bowser any different from Reggie besides the latter being more out there and memed to death? Reggie was still a CEO concerned with profit over everything else no matter how hard some fans want to act as though Reggie was their friend who looked put for them
What's the definition of "struggling" by the way? The console still seems to be doing fine in the U.S. and Europe, even if it's not the same heights as Japan atm. I'm sure the next Pokemon will absolutely move systems
@Jhena He's also lied about Nintendo bricking consoles, came up with an insane conspiracy theory about Nintendo using the Pikmin short to force people to get the Nintendo Today app and lock all news behind it so people couldn't leave negative reactions, and when pressed about keeping in an incorrect fact regarding Nintendo disabling comments he said he kept it in because he liked people obsessing over it.
I'm not giving him the benefit of the doubt, especially when he name called shady ass Youtubers like LordFrogamire and FritangaPlays
@Jhena He's acts smug and condescending to anyone who disagrees with him about the Switch 2 being a failure, and made light of that horrible ICE video earlier this year
@Jhena You mean the weirdo who's utterly obsessed with Nintendo and who went to the midnight launch to watch how many people were in line to prove that the system was a failure?
Kirby Air Riders not being in the top 10 actually makes me genuiely frustrated and angry. The game is incredible, packed full of content, and Sakurai put a lot of love into it while also not locking anything online and not having any DLC. Yet gamers decided to reward Sonic Racing Crossoworlds instead, which while good has less content, is the same price as Air Riders, has pre-order DLC nonsensd and a season pass DLC announced before the game released
@SillyG By the time the DLC is released it'll have been almost two months since the game launched. If you don't like the DLC and think it's not worth the amount being charged thar's fine, but I'm a little tired of people on this site just yelling about it being cut content without any evidence other than the release date of the DLC
@Pillowpants @CupidStunt You all have any proof this was post game content cut and resold as DLC? By your logic the Master Trials DLC for Breath of the Wild is also cut content and that was released three months after BOTW
@OFFICIALMichi I think Nintendo is expecting most people to just buy the $5 upgrade and not pay full price for thr Switch 2 version unless they never bought it on Switch 1
@EarthboundBenjy Wasn't Emerald Rush in Bananza made by a seperate team? Also how do you know it wasn't developed after the main game was done considering DK Isles doesn't have any bananas and Ignot Isle has the post game bananas and Boss Rush like Mario Odyssey?

The physical French version of the Yoshi game is the equivalent of $80 in America. How is that cheaper

Also, the last link for the Yoshi game has it as being arpund $70 for the digital copy

All of those games you listed were on weaker hardware and probably took less manpower and money to develop for then the Switch 2
