@Porkins Its coming to Nintendo Switch 1 as well. Hades 2 isn't launching alongside with the Switch 2 anyway. And considering the game is coming to Switch 1, well they can always good sales numbers from that (along with PC).
@Overzeal The only console they pretty much abandoned outright was the Wii U (and for reasons that are understandable) and that was ONCE the Switch came out and became a big success. At least the Wii U had one last hurrah (which was BOTW).
I am so tired of trying to explain all this.. I explained it in both PushSquare and PureXbox.
Not sure whatâs the comparison, all Doug is saying they will support the original Switch for the foreseeable future. Didnât the PS2 still get games until like around 2012? Itâs kinda like that!!!
So not sure whatâs the comparison is. Also 450 isn't a bad price, the game price is something to debate about but the console price ainât bad.
2025 GOTY right here!!! Glad its coming to the original Switch because I plan on getting Hades 2 on that. Hopefully it runs really well on it (Hades 1 did after all)
@Mariotag No he didnât. The 0% tariff isnât good enough according to a WH advisor because of things like Chinese goods getting routed through Vietnam.
@Overzeal Vietnam has apparently stated they will drop their tariffs and are probably going to negotiate.
So will the hardware price be lowered or not? That remains to be seen but there is a chance it can be lowered, but at the same there is a chance it can be increased.
@Ajent yeah, I donât think the game key card thing is a bad idea bur to me, itâs kinda unnecessary. Especially when I can just game digitally which is easier I guess.
@PikminMarioKirby Yeah I mean I personally don't support Trump regarding economic and environmental issue (apart form wanting dropping the mandatory EV mandate), but there are some things that I do support him on like you mentioned with Mexico and Canada.
@Paulo I mean we already have 2 Nintendo games for 2026 which is Rhythm Heaven Groove and Tomodaichi Life Living The Dream. Granted they are Switch 1 games but still, they're made from Nintendo.

Re: Opinion: The Switch 2 Is A Powerhouse For The Price
@Woshiernog can we actually put a Switch 2 in a pocket though đ§đ§đ§đ§? I would think it would be a bit too big to fit in a pocket.
Re: Opinion: The Switch 2 Is A Powerhouse For The Price
Console price is fine really. Game price is something to talk about though.
Re: "We MUST Resist Buying These Game-Key Releases", Says GamesMaster Host
Tbh, it sounds like the CDs that PS and Xbox already have. So this ainât exactly new.
It is better than a code in the box though since you can resell it or lend it out.
But ofc there are disadvantages along with main advantages
Re: Zelda Wind Waker Switch 2 GameCube Release Doesn't Rule Out HD Port
As long as they come to Switch 1, that is A-OKAY with me.
Bring OOT HD and MM HD to Switch as well too while you're at it.
Re: Mario Kart World "Paid DLC" Would Be A Big No-No, According To Ex-Nintendo Duo
Well, let's wait and see shall we?
Re: Hades II Will Officially Launch On Switch 2 & Switch Ahead Of Other Consoles

Re: Nintendo Of America President Says Tariffs "Not Factored" Into Switch 2 Price
@Unit_DTH iirc did they also sell the Wii U at a loss at first as well?

Re: Some Fans Are Drawing Unfavourable Comparisons Between Switch 2 And Xbox One
@Yosher yeah the PS2 and PS4 had a big install base too. So its gonna take some time to transition.

Also what @pepsilover2008 is also right.
Re: Hades II Will Officially Launch On Switch 2 & Switch Ahead Of Other Consoles
@Serpenterror More likely they're gonna launch the game digitally first and probably release the game physically next year or so.
Re: Hades II Will Officially Launch On Switch 2 & Switch Ahead Of Other Consoles
@DarkTron Some people thought it was gonna be a multiplatform release at launch AND some people thought it was gonna be a Switch 2 console exclusive.
And both are wrong because
1. It is a console exclusive to Nintendo
2. Hades 2 is coming to Nintendo Switch 1 as well as NS2.
Re: Nintendo Of America President Says Tariffs "Not Factored" Into Switch 2 Price
@MSaturn We should wait and see what happens now. Maybe Nintendo could region lock the console to the US and now Canada?

Re: Switch 2 Game-Key Cards Aren't Tied To Nintendo Accounts
It sounds better than the one time code in the box. But still unnecessary imo.
Re: Nintendo Understands Switch Owners May Not Be "Ready To Jump To Switch 2"
Nintendo is right. I am just gonna wait for the Switch 2 after some months or maybe a year. I will take my time and just wait for some time.
Will I get the Switch 2? Yes, eventually?
Will I get it at launch? Most likely not.
Re: Nintendo Understands Switch Owners May Not Be "Ready To Jump To Switch 2"
@Bizzyb As long as 1st party games remain on game card for the most part, I am cool with it.
Re: Nintendo Of America President Says Tariffs "Not Factored" Into Switch 2 Price
@ChakraStomps lets hope it happens. I heard that a lot of countries are now wanting to negotiate now apparently, Vietnam included.
Re: Nintendo Of America President Says Tariffs "Not Factored" Into Switch 2 Price
Still going at it, I see. I just came back to check on the comments.
Re: Nintendo Of America President Says Tariffs "Not Factored" Into Switch 2 Price
@Rhaoulos does region lock make it cheaper or something?
Re: Don't Worry, You Won't Lose Your Animal Crossing: New Horizons Island On Switch 2
Is this game going to have a Switch 2 Edition eventually or a separate Animal Crossing game for the Switch 2
Re: There's A New Way To Add Friends On Nintendo Switch 2
I donât mind the friend codes. Itâs quite nice.
Re: Nintendo Of America President Says Tariffs "Not Factored" Into Switch 2 Price
Hey NintendoLife, might be best to shut down this comment section before it gets more hectic.
Re: Nintendo Of America President Says Tariffs "Not Factored" Into Switch 2 Price
@Mariotag No he didnât. The 0% tariff isnât good enough according to a WH advisor because of things like Chinese goods getting routed through Vietnam.
Re: Nintendo Of America President Says Tariffs "Not Factored" Into Switch 2 Price
@CriticalHit well people complain more about the price of games (which is fair), hardware price though is fine.
Re: Nintendo Of America President Says Tariffs "Not Factored" Into Switch 2 Price
@johnedwin hmm. Then let us wait and see
Re: Nintendo Of America President Says Tariffs "Not Factored" Into Switch 2 Price

Re: Nintendo Of America President Says Tariffs "Not Factored" Into Switch 2 Price
@Mallow original price of the console is fine, itâs the games thatâs a bit concerning.
As for the tariffs, Vietnam has apparently stated that they will drop their tariffs on the US.
Re: Nintendo Comments On Mario Kart World's Controversial Price
@Greenspan Iâm betting Rhythm Heaven and Tomodaichi Life Living the Dream will be 60 or less.
Re: Nintendo Comments On Mario Kart World's Controversial Price
@LeonK Theyâre using a Nvidia chip, and Nvidia iirc is notorious for their pricing đđđ
Re: Nintendo Comments On Mario Kart World's Controversial Price
@SuperRetroArt and you think they will drop it eventually? This bundle is limited time iirc.
Re: Nintendo Comments On Mario Kart World's Controversial Price
Variable pricing is interesting. However, If they do show off a lot, then maybe 80 dollars could be worth it. Maybe.
It could be a very expensive game to make but we must wait and see.
Re: It's Official, Switch 2 Joy-Con Will Not Feature Hall Effect Sticks
Doesnât bother me. I donât even have drift on my Switch at all.
Re: Upgrade Pack Price For Zelda: BOTW And TOTK Has Been Confirmed
@Sakhasm not all of them are paid. A number of them are free.
Also some of the games on PlayStation, you have to pay an upgrade fee iirc. So itâs really nothing different and new.
Re: Upgrade Pack Price For Zelda: BOTW And TOTK Has Been Confirmed
@HorseRenoir some of them are free though.
Re: Elden Ring's Switch 2 Physical Version Seemingly Tarnished By 'Game-Key Card' Release
@Ajent yeah, I donât think the game key card thing is a bad idea bur to me, itâs kinda unnecessary. Especially when I can just game digitally which is easier I guess.
Re: Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders In The US Amidst New Trump Tariffs
@AG_Awesome Apparently Vietnam is looking to drop their tariffs to ZERO. That is according to Trump himself btw.
Re: Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders In The US Amidst New Trump Tariffs
@dabaumer yeah man, hope things go well for you as a firefighter.
Re: Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders In The US Amidst New Trump Tariffs
@PikminMarioKirby Yeah I mean I personally don't support Trump regarding economic and environmental issue (apart form wanting dropping the mandatory EV mandate), but there are some things that I do support him on like you mentioned with Mexico and Canada.
Re: Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders In The US Amidst New Trump Tariffs
@Banjo2ee finally a sane person here for once.
Also I heard Vietnam is negotiating but I havenât heard them dropping it to zero though
Re: Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders In The US Amidst New Trump Tariffs
@Jester676 yeah, Vietnam for negotiations
Re: Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders In The US Amidst New Trump Tariffs
This is getting more political all of a sudden. Maybe time to shut the comment section down??
Re: Nintendo Confirms Switch Controllers Are Compatible With "Switch 2 Exclusive Games"
Thats fair enough tbh
Re: Hands On: Should 'Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Be A Pack-In Game?
Guys lets be glad that it isn't 80 dollars at the very least.
Re: Hands On: Should 'Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Be A Pack-In Game?
It really should be free and as a pack-in game. Kinda like what Astro Bot Playroom was.
Well at least this isn't 80 dollars at the very least. Still it should have been free.
