And 60fps! Well, not for me, I’ll be playing on original Switch hardware.

No Zelda or Mario will hurt. But Nintendo’s decided I’m just too poor to be worthy of playing their games any more.

Some of us will probably even get to play it early judging by the past several first-party Nintendo games.

You aren’t a true gamer unless you buy 20 copies of

Nintendo deliberately exited the Real Console wars after the Gamecube. This is an interesting time for them to decide to re-join it.

That only matters if you would have paid for it otherwise.

Iwata is gone, and it really shows.

Nintendo fans buy anything at any price.
Counterpoint: Wii U.

That’s $4.17 a month.
…on top of all the other “It’s only $X!” subscription services out there. If it’s the ONLY subscription you have, sure, that’s not bad, but how common is that?

if you pay for switch online
The more expensive Switch Online Expansion Pass, specifically. That’s a big if.

I don’t! The other walled garden I’m referring to is a PS5.

The nickel and diming about every single thing they mentioned make Sony and Microsoft seem generous by comparison.

FIVE HUNDRED NINETY-NINE US DOLLARS

At $80-$90 for physical editions, I wouldn’t count on the used market helping that much.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 5 hours ago:
Also did they mention how much the “upgrades” will be?
My understanding is it’s $10 for upgrades that just run better with no new content, and $20 for ones that also have new content of come sort.

Yes, Japan got the only exception because Nintendo knows the price sucks and they want to make sure it sells well in their home country. Mind you, this is a special region-locked Switch that only supports Japanese.

How could it? It’s just data, no physical goods are being imported. Do tariffs apply to phone calls from other countries?
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 8 hours ago:
I have a PS5 and decent PC for the stuff that the Deck can’t handle. I tend to prefer older games, anyway.

You’re not, I’m agreeing with you.

I was waiting for confirmation of the price to get a Steam Deck as well. Nintendo was fine as a cheaper side console, but I don’t need 2 $500-ish walled garden consoles.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 17 hours ago:
I noticed that Tomodachii was announced for the Switch with a 2026 date. So they will at least be some games still made for it next year as well. A 150 million install base is nothing to sneeze at!
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 17 hours ago:
I mean, I’ve been using a Switch to play games portably so far. A Steam Deck will be a revelation by comparison.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 17 hours ago:
Then why does the rest of the world, who don’t have tariffs on Japan, have to pay those prices as well?
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 17 hours ago:
Okay, but why are they charging $80 for a digital game, which tariffs don’t apply to?
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 17 hours ago:
It’s pretty much a guarantee that 3D Marios and Zeldas will be $80.

Consumers also had more buying power back then, so converting the currency doesn’t tell the whole story.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 17 hours ago:
Just like how online play was originally free on the Switch 1.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 17 hours ago:
Their games are usually top notch and their hardware is usually more cheaply priced. Not this time.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 17 hours ago:
They’re thrusting themselves back into directly competing with Sony and MS with those prices. Bold move in this economy, but they’ll probably do fine. I don’t expect nearly as many Switch 2s sold compared to the original, though.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 17 hours ago:
I just hope Tomodachii 2 is available on Switch 1
It is, it was announced for the OG Switch.
