samus12345@lemm.eeto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Nintendo makes physical games more expensive than digital gamesEnglish1·1 month agoIt has gone up because people will pay the price. The games industry makes money hand over fist and could charge far less and still make a good profit. It’s pure greed, but the consumer is ultimately to blame.
samus12345@lemm.eeto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Trump’s Tariffs Are Here to Jack Up the Price of Your Switch 2 (and Everything Else)English2·1 month agoDid you say that they’re raising the price for the US switch?
Most likely they will be. They stopped pre-orders in the US because they have to figure out the tariff situation. $450 is the pre-tariff price.
samus12345@lemm.eeto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Nintendo makes physical games more expensive than digital gamesEnglish1·1 month agoIt would make sense if they lowered the digital price rather than raised the physical one.
samus12345@lemm.eeto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Switch 2 price is a "strategic balancing act," and there's a reason why Japan is getting a separate model that's $110 cheaper than the US' $450 console, analysts suggestEnglish51·1 month agoFor the US only. Other countries won’t be getting a price increase.

Eligible Nintendo Account holders will receive an email when it's time to purchase.English2·1 month agoYeah, I could stomach a big upfront cost for the console (a year or so after launch, when you can just walk into a store and get one), but the $80 and $70 price points combined with Nintendo never putting their games on sale makes it so, so not worth it. Third party games you can play elsewhere, even portably, so that’s not nearly as much of a selling point as it was in 2017.
samus12345@lemm.eeto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Trump’s Tariffs Are Here to Jack Up the Price of Your Switch 2 (and Everything Else)English1·1 month agoLooks like the US price for the Switch 2 will be raised due to the tariffs, so the “more expensive for everyone but Japan” thing has nothing to do with the tariffs. It does make me wonder, though, what happens if a friend buys a Switch 2 at a cheaper price in Europe, then mails it to someone in the US? Are tariffs also paid for all person to person packages?

samus12345@lemm.eeto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Trump’s Tariffs Are Here to Jack Up the Price of Your Switch 2 (and Everything Else)English8·1 month agoYeah, that’s what makes this whole “Don’t blame Nintendo, it’s tariffs!” idea BS. If that were the case, it would only be this expensive in the US. Considering there’s a Japan-only Switch 2 that’s less than $350, it’s pure greed.

samus12345@lemm.eeto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Nintendo makes physical games more expensive than digital gamesEnglish81·1 month agoI think game key cards are for games that don’t fit on a regular game card. So like what happened before with some Switch games, but more transparent about which ones don’t have the full game on them.
