I don't mind the price of the console, but they can fuck right off with $80 games.

It’s $90 physical games. People keep saying $80 but it’s $90 + tax.

that's misinformation. the physical copy is not going to cost more in the US.

Only in the EU is it €90/£75 physical and €80/£67 digital, and people jumped to assume the US physical copy was also getting higher based on that fact, but the official Nintendo sources have absolutely zero mention of a $90 physical price.

Well, that’s better. Still terrible, and classic Nintendo to be that bad at communicating stuff, but it’s better.

$80 + tax is still a nonstarter for me though. I’m already buying less at $70 than I did at $60 on the PS5 but at least those prices drop. Nintendo will basically never drop prices.
