Agreed. That €90 price for MK world physical is bonkers.The price is what I expected but the games prices are a bit high.

How so? For people that want portable console PS5 is not an option.

You can't die before your death
I was right.
That was my guess too
They went above the limit I thought it would release at.

I was ready to drop up to $500 if this thing had PS4 fidelity in portable mode, but everything they showed looked like wet dogshit and there are zero first party games on the horizon.

Its a ripoff for what you are getting in terms of hardware and materials.
You also know Nintendo is adding a fuckton of margin on top of that fisher-price looking thing too, unlike Sony and Microsoft.

You are not comparing apples with apples. But we will see. The Switch brand is very powerful and no mixed messages this time round. Hell even my sister is a very definition of a casual gamer, she has the original Switch and only plays Animal Crossing on it. Even she knows about the Switch 2 and wants one. She knows because of the news channel on the Nintendo Switch home screen... Nintendo are no longer new to all this...

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Still tempted.Be careful, it only works with Japanese accounts.
Also I'm assuming the games are still region-free, right? I'd love to pick up some games while I'm there.

Does multiple research show that vast majority of Switch users play only at home?
On the other hand - I guess I can pick some nice sub-120€ deals for Switch Lite.

Nintendo turned crazy, now you have to pay even for chat, expensive SD cards, games costing 80 or 90 euros, pricey controllers... Only three interesting launch titles, and the rest are mostly ports. On top of that, you even have to pay for the demo game "Welcome Tour," which should be free, like Astro's Playroom on the PS5. They're going to crash hard, just like what happened with the Vita and Wii U.

Lol, be glad you don't live in Europe. Or even more glad you don't live in the Nordics. MAN do we get ripped off on every single console released.

With taxes you end up at 800$, that's ridiculous. Add in a pro controller you're at 900$ lmao.

We will talk about that when Sony portable console arrives. THEN we can compare which one is more overpriced.
I don't even get why people are comparing PS5 and Switch 2, those consoles are not competing directly. Right now Nintendo is competing with Steam/Windows handhelds and not MS/Sony stationary consoles. We know that MS and Sony will launch handhelds in the future.
I checked the original Switch prices and it launched some 10-15% cheaper in Japan. But here they are really pushing to stupidly unfair levels. They can keep it.

I'm not writing it off at all. Just pointing out that Switch 2 isn't a guaranteed hit because Switch is the second-best selling console.

Nintendo spent half their conference talking about third party console ports from ps5 type games
So it is fair to compare it as a console, that's what it is

It's all opinions. But I would be shocked if Nintendo did not have another console hit on it's hands here. Launching with Mario Kart World exclusive is a big deal imho.

True, but at €510? Or €90 for the game and €470 for the Switch.

I'll most likely get the £429 edition. Not that bad of a price.

They talk about this stuff every generation and in the end it's always nintendo games that dominate their consoles.
Once PS6 launches third party support for AAA games on SW2 will die...
Often here in GAF people compare the sales of the switch 1 (portable) vs PS2 (console) now we can´t compare the switch 2 vs the PS5 or even Xbox? Oh ok.

650 can for the base model. That's more than a ps5. I'll pass.
I'll get Metroid on my old switch

I made a joke the other day to someone on here, "Nintendo - You'll take full priced re-releases and you'll like it!"
I was wrong…the will be more than full priced

I'm very happy with this presentation despite the screen freeze
I'm happy that screen is 1080p and looking like everything runs at 60 FPS. I'm just wondering how it's gonna to run undocked because I play games on my Switch equally docked and undocked
First Party games look good so far and I'm sure that they will show more unannounced games this year. I'm really looking forward to what MonolithSoft has cooking. Wished they at least showed something at this direct
All the big games annouced by first and third parties look amazing and I definitely see a noticeable improvement in graphics
What made me happy especially is that with Switch 2 they made sure to make everything much faster. So I expect much faster loading which is what I wanted
Now I'm waiting on the full specs since I want to know how much RAM they are using and if they are using WiFi 6. It looks like their internet is much better overall too
My only issue is that Switch 2 isn't compatible with regular SD Cards. So I'm keeping my Switch until the SD Express Cards can go up to 1TB to 2TB

you're such a hater. You know that it's overpriced because it is 330 dollars in Japan and 450 dollars in the US. The global pricing on this is hilarious and the device is essentially a Switch Pro, but with exclusive games.
When Sony drops the price of the PS5 and PS5 Pro post-GTA6, the Switch 2 is going to struggle to find a market in the west.
In fairness, 470 includes VAT which is about 20% in most European countries. Remove that and price is down to 391 eur = 424 USD.
