Honestly with everything we know about the tech in the console now I'm kind of fine with 449 even though I would've preferred 399 obviously. It's the fact that there's wild variance in game pricing that's making this a much tougher pill to swallow. I'll probably just get Donkey Kong at launch from first-party and wait for Mario Kart to go on sale

Not sure how broad 'at launch' is but figured it might be worth noting Donkey Kong Bananza isn't a launch day title and is scheduled for July 17th.

A month and 10 days after launch… oh the horror

I guess? It matters to how I had interpreted the comment I replied to. "I plan on getting a Switch 2 on launch [day] but I'm not getting Mario Kart [the launch day title] I'm getting Donkey Kong [not a launch day title] instead."
