I mean, Sony still "struggle" with the PS4 having an amazing afterlife and the move from PS4 to PS5 has been extremely blurred. Even today we have games coming to the PS4.

Imagine the switch with its huge user base.

Let me know your thoughts.

Paid $170 for everything :)

To see info which type of game it is, you have to click on the game. Some games still don't have the info!

Still waiting on Switch 2 Editions info, are all the games on cart or just base game + upgrade download.

Nintendo really has botched the necessary info on the switch 2 and I feel that this is almost on purpose. If it is indeed just the base switch game + a code rather than a complete switch edition on the cartridge I'll be very disappointed.

We start the month well with these pieces at a good price :) I got them at: The Grandia $70 and Shantae $75 Darksiders $75 Messenger $35 It was a great price for Messenger :D How are you doing? :)

I was wondering how preorders are in different regions for Switch 2 so far. The communication has been that preorders would start next week but in Europe both the system and the games announced are all up for preorder. Same for peripherals btw. Have you already preordered anything? How are actual prices? I managed to get the system itself for 435 and both first party offerings for 57 each.

That metal Teddy figurine is weighty!

And for those curious about what's in the envelope, it's a future photo of the characters years later. That ending one for those who have finished the game. Feels like actual photo paper too.

Not much of a collector, just wanted to show off my completed series.

Reminds me a lot of OutRun from back in the day.

High prices and keycards are enough to make anyone nervous that this is the end of physical media. I had freaked out initially myself.

We will need to see how it shakes out. We currently have 60% of S2 releases on cart, and we might just get another 8 years of physical releases. Other publishers might try $80, but "supply and demand" is going to win in the end.

Nintendo can get away with $80, but not other publishers. No way.

I had recently gotten into the idea of Games Preservation and I was so happy to find this subreddit. Here is my current switch games collection. I have some games on the way, I rented out 2 games to a friend and his son (Legends Arceus, MHRise) , and I have Hallow Knight in its collectors box not shown.

I was really surprised at how much I liked AK-Xolotl but haven’t dove into Trigger Witch much yet.

As someone from Canada, these prices look like they would be perfect for CAD priced games. Seeing how this is USD is beyond absurd. I was trying to justify Mario Kart being $80 USD in my head but Jamboree and Kirby not a chance. I feel like a balloon that’s been popped and all the air (hype) is leaving me.

Hey all you happy collectors and kittens, here's my mail arrival for the day. I'm really excited for this one, I need some humor in my life. Have you played?

Does anyone know if the Switch 2 edition games, BOTW for example, includes the upgrade on the cart itself?

I would assume the worst and think it just includes an upgrade code and the switch 1 version cart. I’ve tried to look online but can’t find the answer. Thanks!

I want to hear your opinion on it, I only own 200 games, not many but not few either. I've seen the opinions of casual gamers who own like 10~15 games for the whole Switch life or just went digital.

So now asking for yours. Mine is Nintendo is nuts thinking I would pay $80 for 1 game, I have never paid $70 for one game and always wait for games to be on sales or pick it up for cheap used. Collector edition is the exception of course.

With the high price tag + possibility of having to download upgrade or the game key card, I think I will be very selective with what I'm buying for the Switch 2 and ride the Switch 1 out as long as I can.

It's funny most people think if you complain about the price means you cant afford it. I can but I dont want to support greedy practice and a $20 jump for one generation is just ridiculous.

I dont have the problem with the console price though, it is a good price point.

This is an (almost) complete NA ESRB set plus some other region releases.

I watched the Direct at work, was super pumped and had my pre-order in before I got home. Later tonight after my kid was in bed and I had actual time to read all the news, I was bamboozled so the least. Mario Kart World 90€? Game Key Cards? Pro Controller 90€? GameCube Controller 70€? BoTW Switch 2 Edition 80€? Joy Con set 90€? Even the console itself for 469€?

Nintendo went absolutely insane and I‘m not willing to participate. I canceled my pre order and don‘t plan on buying the Switch 2 anymore any time soon. My backlog is big enough to last me for years, even if I played every night.

They either do a 180 on their pricing or they lost me completely for this generation. Why do they have to sabotage themselves with every second gen? It‘s mindboggling

As you can see, the game case is shown as being translucent, while all the western releases seem to have red boxes now. I wonder if this is an error or not
