    • Not excited for this to become the new trend from Nintendo

      • My new trend is not buying from Nintendo.

      • It's odd because Donkey Kong is $69.99 and the MK console bundle gets you $30 off. My guess is that they are pushing the MK bundle hard because $450 is probably close to break even or loss leader for them. And going $530 was too high for the sticker price. Those that buy later will likely also get MK outside the bundle and then they are in the green. I bet the MK attach rate is going to be insane.

        I also think the $10 more for physical versions is solely to push consumers to digital only. Also it frames the $80 price point as being "$10 cheaper" rather than "$10 more than normal"

  • At the current conversion rate for just the console that’s nearly $730 CAD after taxes.

    Hard pass for me this year.

  • Well the pre-orders in UK and Europe seem to be a joke... https://store.nintendo.co.uk/en/nintendo-switch-2

    Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 consoles will open on My Nintendo Store from 08/04. To reward the most dedicated Nintendo Switch players in Europe and the UK, the opportunity to pre-order a Nintendo Switch 2 console from My Nintendo Store will initially be offered on an invite-only basis to selected Nintendo Switch Online members. Initial invitees will be selected based on the following criteria:

    Eligibility is based on data as of 31/03/2025.

    Supervised Nintendo Accounts are not eligible to purchase on My Nintendo Store. For family memberships, the person who purchased the membership will be eligible to pre-order. Other people in the family membership are not eligible. Over time, the selection criteria thresholds may be lowered and more people could be invited to pre-order a Nintendo Switch 2 console. Throughout, we will remain focussed on prioritising the most dedicated Nintendo Switch players (while stocks last).

    Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 digital games, upgrade packs and amiibo will open on My Nintendo Store from 24/04.

  • That's a lot of dough. I won't be picking this up at those prices. Shit is getting way too expensive.

  • I'm part of a family account. Guess i need to get one from another source.
