That’s a lot more remastering than I thought.

So… Nintendo might actually be selling the Switch 2 at a loss in the US despite current market conditions/prices…! :thinking:

However, this does come with a caveat I think:

However, Nintendo Switch 2 accessories will experience price adjustments from those announced on April 2 due to changes in market conditions. Other adjustments to the price of any Nintendo product are also possible in the future depending on market conditions.

Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price - As of April 18, 2025

  • Nintendo Switch 2 - $449.99

  • Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle - $499.99

  • Mario Kart World - $79.99

  • Donkey Kong Bananza - $69.99

  • Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller - $84.99

  • Joy-Con 2 Pair - $94.99

  • Joy-Con 2 Charging Grip - $39.99

  • Joy-Con 2 Strap - $13.99

Sounds like they’re gonna take a hit on the Switch 2 Units hoping that they can recoup costs on the accessories and extras.

If Nintendo really wanted to recoup costs they would have kept their game prices where they were at so people are more prone to buy games.

Needless to say people will buy the system, but it’s up in the air on if they’ll be buying games with their purchase given the steep entry price just to experience something like Mario Kart World physically and Digitally bundle excluded.

Hmmm, we’ll see. Nintendo is Nintendo, household name, restrictive first party exclusives, I’m sure they’re trying their fanbase with this 80$ USD Premium as a “it’s only 10$ more than other current games…”

Plus it being a wholly new Mario Kart in like …11 years!

I don’t think the console or games will sell as gangbusters as Switch 1, but I think it’s still very likely to be a good success for Nintendo. They will recoup their costs.

While I’m hopeful for a potential flop that leads to a 3DS style Price Decrease, I just don’t see that happening. But, maybe in this wild USA economy, it still might?..

Star Wars Outlaws now has a demo on all platforms. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
The second story expansion is coming in May.
The game will also release for Nintendo Switch 2.

Very happy there’s a demo “permanently out” as EA says, as I’ve been wanting to try this for a while now, but it just hasn’t dropped to a price I’d be willing to jump on. (I’ve heard it’s a nice Star Wars open-world and style, but has all the typical trappings of Ubisoft recycling and sameiness.)

Ethan Hunts next mission if he chooses to accept it. Dropping into the Warzone.

Edit: as of now it’s a “rumor” but given CoD Cross Over Rumors are the equivalent of bears shitting in the woods. Expect something out of this.

Another BTS for THPS3+4, the roster for this game seems to be packed with next gen skaters. Nothing too exciting, shows off Alcatraz and Cruise Ship but at one point he does the “Stage Dive” special which was a trick assigned to the secret skater for 4, Eddie the Head of Iron Maiden fame.
