Oof is right. $450? Welcome Tour is extra? $80 games? One original first party launch title? This might be the most disappointing console launch announcement I can recall.

re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

What's the price in other regions, though? At least the game price hikes seem the same even for non-US countries.

re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

WTF why is the Switch 2 SO much cheaper in JPN?? About $100 cheaper???

re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Holy crap. That converts to 60 for a game and 335 for the console at today's conversion.

re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

8980 yen $60?!?!

$80 confirmed!!!

OOF Nintendo….😳

That’s WAY worse than a $450 console. That’s just madness 😢

Now I wonder if the Switch 2 will be region locked again.

re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Maybe some good(?) news??? If you’re an expansion pass member?

re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

You wouldn't be able to buy the Japan system anyway, It will have Japanese text.

Nintendo Japan makes it clear that the consoles sold in Japan are only for Japan

Thanks Nintendo. Giving me something for free that should be free to everyone, only because I already give you money every month. -rolleyes-

re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Going backwards to fully region locked consoles is insane.

Ask the Developer Vol. 16: Nintendo Switch 2 — Part 1

re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Maybe it’s not ALL bad news on the pricing front?? Seems like Donkey Kong is a AAA title but maybe AAAA titles will be $80?? Like MK, Smash, Mario, Zelda?

re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Any game being $80 is bad news. Especially games which are technically not very hard to make. Rockstar is going to price GTA at $150 at this rate.

re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

​​​​​​it is definitely bad because AAA titles on other systems will surely be priced similarly.

re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

so, what do I do with all the games stored on my current SD card?

re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Transfer them to the new system using the direct console to console migration which doesn't require a SD card.

Assuming you pay for Nintendo Online.

re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Uhhh transfer them like they mentioned in the video?

re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

They're fine existing on your current Switch.

re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

so where do all my games go that are already stored on there and it's more than the Switch 2's memory?

re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

i'm not going to have both consoles hooked up.

re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Oof…new pricing really took the wind out of their sales for anything revealed in the Direct.

I really feel like they should have revealed a new 3D Mario game with the new pricing. Really blow us away.

DK and Kirby’s Airride at $70 possibly $80??? That’s a hard pill to swallow.

Also Kirby’s Airride in the same presentation as MK world? That’s certainly a choice….

I guess we won’t be getting a Smash bros for some time now.

re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

is this an example of an express SD card? thanks.

re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

Accessory pricing

• Joy-Con 2 $90
• Pro Controller $80
• Camera $50
• Joy-Con 2 charging grip $35
• Dock $110

re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

It is not. Express cards are 800-900 mb/s transfer speed.

re: Nintendo Switch 2 - 06/05/25
 

No. There is nothing that says Express in there at all.

Let's start with this. Do you understand how a transfer works?
