Nintendo has confirmed it has multiple unannounced Switch 2 games set for launch later this year, as the company responds to questions about its decision to raise console prices.
Sorry, they can’t hear you over the slurping sounds of the Nintendo Defense Squad.
I guess raising the price of accessories didn’t bring in enough dough. After all, if the base console price is still too expensive, and the games are being priced upwards of $80 dollars, who the fuck would want to spend more on accessories?
I say this as someone who bought the Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle at launch. Aside from Legends Z-A, Kirby Air Riders and Forgotten Land + Star Crossed Worlds, I haven’t put much time into other games on the system. I’ve been playing my Steam Deck more often. I’m thankful I got the Switch 2 at it’s “lowest price”. I’ve also decided to buy physical games because I can at least resell the games for credit towards another.
I’m able to play any game I want on my Deck, and I find it’s openness as a console-PC hybrid MUCH more appealing than the Switch 2. PC ports of Nintendo games are on the rise and I can’t wait for more!
I don’t doubt that the switch 2 is going to be a great platform. I’ve owned everything they’ve released and loved all of them except for the virtual boy. I’ll even defend the greatness of the Wii U.
The switch 2 might be the first one I skip, they’ve priced me out of owning it at this point. MSRP on tears of the kingdom is $115 Canadian which is insane. I would be unlikely to buy two games for that much, never mind a single game.
It’s insane that the pc is easily the most affordable gaming platform at this point but I’m not going to pay $130 after tax for a game when I can get equally good games for $40.
