haven't Xbox and PlayStation been offering accessibility controllers for years now ?

can Mario stand up ? 🙂

if he doesn't think it can last forever, that's a bit of a concerning view for the CEO to have. there's no reason at all to think it can't always exist

completely fails to mention the 'Piko Interactive Collection 4' (2024) cartridge release for Evercade consoles 🤦 #journalism

@Overzeal it isn't so much the conversions of 500 CAD that matter, more the differences in MSRP of current console

For reference, the Switch OLED model currently retails for $449.99 CAD / $348.99 USD / £309.99 GBP respectively.

can see the difference between Switch OLED at 450 CAD and this possible Switch2 price 500 CAD, is +⅑

so do the same to the US / EU Switch OLED MSRP and you get ~390 USD / EUR

(Nintendo's EUR & USD numbers match, FYI 🕵️‍♂️)

and do the same for UK Switch OLED RRP and you get ~345 GBP

@Medic_alert i'm sure they do realise that 💪

but i also think; something people often don't consider is that there is actually a danger of underpricing a product, which could lead to a perceived lower inherent value. so price point is a balancing act

@Medic_alert good points. i remember 3DS launching at a higher price, then Nintendo reduced it and "compensated" early adopters with ¿20? complimentary 'Virtual Console' games 🙂

@Medic_alert this article is about the Canadian price possibly being 500 CAD

and the article states

499 Canadian dollars converts to around 350 USD / 280 GBP at the time of writing

and

the Switch OLED model currently retails for $449.99 CAD / $348.99 USD / £309.99 GBP respectively.

Nintendo Switch2 hybrid console will not be comparable to PS5 home console & Xbox Series X home console

there is absolutely no reason to think Switch2 could be priced £500 🙂

it'll likely be around £350

I'm unsure why £280 is being touted when the article has a much more accurate conversion to use:

"For reference, the Switch OLED model currently retails for $449.99 CAD / $348.99 USD / £309.99 GBP respectively."

If $450 CAD = £310, then $500 CAD would be £344. If that holding price proves accurate, I would expect the UK launch price to be £349.99, which is not unrealistic.

^ this 💪

#20 Medic_alert "I don't think families are up for another £500 system at this point - especially not a Nintendo one."

@Tober i see now that the 5% GST is not included in displayed prices 😉 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goods_and_services_tax_(Canada)

@Tober oh. my bad then. i got it from here https://wise.com/gb/vat/canada

@Medic_alert CAD ≠ GBP

so far away we'll be on British Summer Time ! 👴🪦🙏

@Jack_Goetz also Hyrule Warriors released for Wii U, 3DS, Switch 🙂

@AlienigenX game sales

@AlienigenX buying a used copy of a game counts for nothing fyi

@Haruki_NLI Switch doesn't "register" physical carts to your account 🤔 it just keeps a record of played games

@Jack_Goetz Captain Toad Treasure Tracker has been released for Wii U, 3DS & Switch (though I think the 3DS & Switch versions released at the same time)

@1UP_MARIO actually it's less now as they lowered the price from £49.99 to £45.99. so anyone who ordered it at £39.99 using the 20% off code can now contact Currys to ask for the difference back, or to cancel your order, then reorder at the new price £36.79 using the code "DONKEY20" - there's 2 listings: one including the themed cleaning cloth, one without.

@Uncle_Franklin RDR was developed for PS3 and Xbox 360. RDR2 was developed for PS4 and Xbox One 🙂

@FreakAxident i just don't think you've thought it through. the side piece which sticks out of the joy-con will insert into a slot on the side of the console (have you seen the previous leaked image of the side of the console ?). given the depth of the slot, this will provide very substantial stability, it will be very rigid. the magnets will keep it attached, and the shape of the insert & slot will keep it rigid. that's it

@FreakAxident if you look at the top and bottom of the edge you can see a round shape which could be the magnets, the round shape at the top has a smaller circle inside which could push the top of the joy-con away from the console enough to allow the joy-con to be detached 🧐 i can't imagine nintendo deciding to go with magnetic connection only for it to require additional locking as well. i've been hoping the release button may also be usable as an additional trigger button when using the individual joy-con held horizontally 🙂

i don't understand everyone banging on about OLED screens. i personally did not like the oversaturated vibrant look of the Switch OLED Model (with the 'vibrant mode' [or however it's named] enabled [as it is by default]). there is absolutely nothing wrong with the regular Switch model screen, my launch model Switch is the one i prefer to use over the Lite and the OLED model.

also, everyone seems to have completely forgotten that Sharp announced years ago that they would be supplying their IGZO displays for an upcoming Nintendo console 🧐 granted, this announcement happened years ago, at a time when Nintendo were likely planning Switch Pro (which got cancelled), but it's likely they would be used now in the new console. IGZO displays have far superior power efficiency, along with other beneficial features.

i am still in shock at Xbox announcing no more console exclusives 😮 IMO that is platform suicide 😵 R.I.P. Xbox consoles 🪦

a dream partnership ! 😍

@Earl_Grey the US website won't ship to other regions. doesn't Sweden have My Nintendo Store ? i can see Netherlands does https://store.nintendo.nl/nl

what happens when you sign-in on https://my.nintendo.com ?

@Ninetaled i saw a separate video all about that video he did, so i know about it. and while i was very disappointed to hear about it, and at the time i actually decided i wouldn't watch any of his videos anymore, i am so glad i didn't stick to that, and the fact it was deleted says a lot.

but anything else he has done has no effect on how incredibly insightful and eye-opening this "Nintendo v. Palworld" video is

@rjejr that launched 3 months ago. LEGO Fortnite is renaming to LEGO Fortnite Odyssey

@LadyCharlie if you actually care about truth you should watch this https://youtu.be/8apzrwv75i0

i'm assuming this chart is including the console pack-in bundle pre-installed [digital] games ? (Animal Crossing, Switch Sports, Mario Wonder, Mario Kart)

@batmanbud2 NSO games are part of the subscription. can play without an internet check for 1 week

Angelina Jolie

@NintendoLife Switch Lite Hyrule Edition actually comes with 12 months NSO + Expansion Pack, which is ~double the value of standard NSO 🧐

also you can't have checked your prices as it has been £199.95 from The Game Collection for around a week now (after being reduced to £184.95 for a short time)

i feel the Switch Lite Aloha Editions are definitely worth mentioning too as they also now include 12 months NSO, like the regular Switch and Switch OLED bundles, in addition to including Animal Crossing New Horizons 💪

WRONG. Sony have made a move against Nintendo, this is Nintendo defending their IP

@awp69

So I’m guessing there was never any patches for Knight to at least make it more playable?

there were patches. i'm not sure how much difference they made. i bought the physical release for a very good price a couple months back, i loved Asylum on 360 so much 😍 i only really bought it for the first game. for anyone interested: when you insert the cartridge all 3 separate game tiles pop up, but only Asylum is playable. City & Knight require download. as the downloads are associated with the cartridge [rather than being via a single-use download code] resale is possible, as they can be downloaded & redownloaded as long as that remains available via servers

(how do you embed a youtube video on here?)

@NintendoLife "yes, we're pretty sure this is a fake cartridge, [...]. But so what?" ??? excuse me ? "so what?" ? are counterfeit games a joke to you ? you don't see counterfeit Nintendo products as a problem ?! 😮 that is a shocking view IMO

there is absolutely nothing honourable or charming about someone paying money for a counterfeit pokemon game, deciding to make a long tiktok video about "reuniting it with its owner" ??? 🤔 (i mean WTH ? it's literally a worthless counterfeit game) 🤔 then flying from England to Japan 🤔 ??? and pointlessly going to 3 pokemon shops 🤡

all just for the sake of making the video 🤦

tiktok video culture is an utter joke 👏 well done everyone who consumes tiktok videos 👏👏👏 well done indeed

@Samalik 20 bucks for a year ? an entire year ?? uhhhh i'm pretty sure you would be hard-pressed to find that kind of value anywhere else 😂 that's literally $1.67 per month . . .

not to mention Family Membership $35 per year for 8 accounts = $4.38 per account per year . . . that's almost 5× less than Individual Membership. it's just silly money

i wish there were still Pokémon games with 2d sprites. Black/White was peak 👌

@Uncle_Franklin yes

@Vyacheslav333 yeh i only really play single-player games too ☺️ occasionally a little online

@Vyacheslav333 can continue playing NSO games without internet for a week. then all it needs is just a momentary internet check, and that's it again for a week.

do what you want to do, when you want to do it. there's no telling you'll still want to do it in future 😇

@Vyacheslav333 not that $50 is very expensive for a whole year ! ? you can share the cost with others in a family group for just $10 each [split 8 ways] 🥜🥜 laughably cheap

i just played it for the first time for a few hours tonight, and really enjoyed it ! 😁👍

@NintendoLife shopto & cdkeys have fantastic price on NSO+ Family membership ! ~ £45 ! 🥳 that's 25% off the Nintendo price ! 🤩 and sharing the cost of that between 8 people 🤑 that's silly money 🥜 😂
