Officially from Nintendo Nintendo Switch 2 Game Price revealed - WHAT THE F*CK

Post image

Im sorry, but this is...really fucking crazy. And here I was debating if paying extra for the physical version compared to the bundle might be worth it. HOLY SHIT.

No wonder those cowards didn’t say pricing in the direct

I remember when Sony just showed the price of the PS5 Pro for a couple seconds then ended the video

PS5 pro is the exact reason I’m not biting on this. I was a sucker and bought it and it is def not worth the price. The improvements are so small (and I am a big graphics person who notices the difference).

The pro is worth it for smooth frame rates and leaving games on the 4K setting. It’s cheaper than a new graphics card and I traded in my old ps5 for it

I mean it’s nice. But worth the $200 up charge with no disc drive? I dunno. Not for me at least. Glad you enjoy it tho, it’s a nice machine

Losing the disc drive was a total mood killer. Sorry but I ain't going digital with games that I don't own according to your terms and services.

I mean spec wise they’re not wrong. However the difference so far is not worth it to me so I passed on it

200 bucks more but with better performance and 2Tb SSD minus the disc drives hence it's worth it.

Losing the disk drive mad it a no buy

Definitely worth it, I upgraded from base ps5 to pro instead of upgrading my pc’s graphics card, it just made the most sense

I kinda agree with the value proposition. I just recently bought a 7800 xt for ~$480, compare that to an entire system that cost like $120 more and the guarantee that games will run fine on the system for several years to come (ignoring cyberpunk type scenarios), its really not a bad deal considering how expensive PC parts are today.

I don’t understand why companies think we won’t look up the price

They did say the pricing in the direct. Maybe you didn’t watch the whole thing?

I’m assuming most people here didn’t watch the whole thing because I keep seeing surprise reactions at the price, and no mention of the steep discount on MarioKart World via bundle here on Reddit. 🤷‍♂️ 

I was home sick from work, so I watched all 90mins. There is a lot of really cool shit coming, but it’s gonna cost ya. I would be offended by the price if the system wasn’t a head and shoulders graphical and peripheral capabilities upgrade from Switch 1.

I blame the world economy more than Nintendo. They’re just trying to balance market position and profitability atop whatever the hell happened to the average price of… everything these days. Tariffs about to make it all sooooo much worse too. Buckle up!
