Yes, but in normal stores they're cheaper. Nintendo isn't retarded bro.

They certainly seem to be.

 

[Xaeroxcore666]

Everything was going strangely well with this announce... They had to ruin it somehow! Fuck Nintendo if this true! Will buy Switch 2 when fucking "magic" is available!

 

[baphomet]

No way that's true, must be a placeholder price.

It's not. It's Nintendo's store

 

[Shaki12345]

It's not. It's Nintendo's store

Normal stores always have much lower pricing. Wake up people. Jeez.

 

[CloudShiner]

So this is the newest way to kill physical...make the games even more expensive, and make the digital cheaper?!

Was very underwhelming anyway, not much new- just a chance to play stuff I've already got in what looked like PS3-O-Vision. Oh, and for anyone with a switch OLED...enjoy your library in crappy LCD once again.

 

[StereoVsn]

That is insane pricing. I wonder what's US side of things is going to show. Either way, Nintendo is out of their god damn minds.

 

[Schmendrick]

For those who dunno, 79,90€ for a First Party game, is what Sony is doing with the PS5 since day one in Europe. I haven't seen many complaints.

Orange to apples...
1. You get a resellable PHYSICAL version for that price with Sony.
2. Usually some retailers offer said physical version for ~70€ or even less day one. You´re not getting that in Nintendo`s shop, guaranteed.
3. With Sony we´re talking blockbuster budget monster games vs...whatever Nintendo is offering here.

Wonder if Nintendo will get the same backlash here as sony did

No, they don't.

 

[demigod]

Is this what "competition" looks like?

Don't worry, the xbox handheld will bring competition.

 

[Dynasty8]

I'm curious at the "online fee" as well. The direct had something called an exclusive online membership of some sort....whatever that means.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Ain't not way, bro. That euro price for the MK World physical is ridiculous!

 

[GHG]

Well there goes the "games cost too much to make" excuse.

You need to have your eyes checked, if you havent seen many complaints.

 

[Shaki12345]

No, they don't.

Yes they do.

Mamma mia!
Ciao ciao mamma Nintendo

MK is 10 euro more tho.

 

[NanaMiku]

Dang 80 bucks? Holy shit

 

[lestar]

no fucking way, I'm out this generation

 

[Sorcerer]

This, and it's all fucking Sony and Microsoft fault. Soon when your mom and dad walk into that shit last Target left in town the ONLY console they will see is Switch 2. How fucking dumb can you be?

Even if retail is dying. Think about just walking through the electronics section and basically seeing Nintendo dominate there. Even if you don't buy physical. It's still advertising Nintendo to you. Sony and Microsoft won't have this presence. It won't matter in a decade most likely but for now its a pretty powerful message.

 

[baphomet]

Yes they do.

I literally purchase Switch games en masse from distributors to sell in a store.

Their MSRP is what the game sells for in stores.

Only if retailers want to eat what little margins they get tho.

 

[Ma-Yuan]

Are they stupid?

[ULTROS!]

Yeahhhh let's see. I doubt I'll purchase the Switch 2 right away. I guess my purchases for Nintendo games will get dramatically less.

You're dumb

 

[Shaki12345]

You're dumb

You're ignoring the forum rules.

 

[SlimySnake]

Im out. Well done. I was going to order 2 for my kids. Fuck no. I have to teach them about scammers.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

lol fuck outta here with that price

 

[Xtib81]

Lmao, that's wild. On second thought though, Nintendo fans are the biggest fanboys so Nintendo should be just fine.

 

[Spukc]

No, they don't.

Yes they do

 

[MudoSkills]

Joke prices. £75 for MK is hilarious.

 

[MMaRsu]

Hahaha get fucked Nintendo you retards

 

[asdasdasdbb]

At least it does make sense since physical costs them more.

Yes they do

Perhaps "only if a retailer doesn't want to make money off of the sale" is the better way to say it.

 

[Dazraell]

 

[Kacho]

The pricing doesn't make any sense

In which planet? And that's with Sony games getting regular and deep discounts which is not Nintendo's style.

 

[StereoVsn]

I really don't understand the thought process beyond "Fuck you, give me more money" here. This is going to tank game purchases.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

They know many people will pay it

That's it.

That killed my hype completely. I'm not spending that much on a single game.

Stop lying. Mario Odyssey is still being sold for 60€ at retail. 8 years later.

S2 games won't sell in stores for 80 dollar mate.

 

[SHAKEZ]

Holy shit, the excusive Rockstar needed to make GTA6 more expensive, we're fucked.

 

[Synastry]

Do you even have to ask this question we all Nintendo can do no wrong.

And holy shit at those prices.

 

[Hari Seldon]

Well I won't be buying anything but the very best 1st party games on this system.

 

[Magic Carpet]

I think this concept of paying for upgrades on old games is worse than Microtransactions. Nintendo already charges too much for their 1st party and now want even more.
Buying an 'upgrade pack' for an old game is hard to swallow for me.
Sony started this and all it does is make me want to skip the game till it gets an upgrade before buying.

 

[Celcius]

80 is wild
so is only 256gb built in storage

 

[balls of snow]

They must have skip the Apple tutorial where they actually need innovation and that high quality premium feel in their product to justify these prices.
