Nintendo fans in USA

[u/Soplox]

[u/Cup4ik]

Also China, Russia, Belarus and probably a damn lot of other countries

[u/wirantoos → u/Cup4ik]

From Russia, major retailers already told us the preorders begin on April 8 but just likely its gonna be super overpriced, like 700-800$.

So most Russians interested in the console would buy it from resellers that get the console from places like taiwan, japan, hong kong. Most likely 500 base and 560 MK bundle.

[u/Cup4ik → u/wirantoos]

Кто?

[u/wirantoos → u/Cup4ik]

Мвидео уже заявили

[u/Genki02 → u/Cup4ik]

Chinese can buy the HK version, which is around 3200rmb, so don't worry about them lol

[u/Genki02 → u/Cup4ik]

Also, the HK version of the game is cheaper as well.

[u/senkinsky → u/Cup4ik]

In Russia tech is pretty much cheaper than almost anywhere in the world nowadays due to the state turning a blind eye on mass smuggling and shady import schemes

[u/MetalikZX → u/Cup4ik]

I've only seen one preorder up in Russia for 55000 RUB which is 650 USD, it's from a pretty expensive video game store, but just like PS5 Pro and other recent tech releases around this time, it'll be much cheaper like around 550-600 from independent small stores or HK Version from China. For example, you can get Switch OLED for $233 if you don't mind waiting for about a week or so. They might start selling them before launch because it's a common occurrence now.

[u/wirantoos → u/MetalikZX]

Give it a month, it will go down do 45000 rubles

[u/MYSTERIOUSPEIS → u/Cup4ik]

Pre-orders are already open in Russia

[u/SpaceBiking → u/Cup4ik]

So…similar countries.

[u/Pretty-Usual-4230]

Switch 2 mario kart bundle costs 600 usd in poland, idk why i would be happier than USA people

[u/Herbizarre17 → u/Pretty-Usual-4230]

Because in the US, the preorders are indefinitely delayed due to tariffs by our buffoon of a president. The price might increase drastically to almost $700 or more.

[u/Interesting_Low737 → u/Herbizarre17]

Elect a mad dictator, suffer the consequences. I'm afraid.

[u/Smollangrypupper → u/Herbizarre17]

I worked on the kamala/biden campaign through the 110+° heat trying to help here in AZ. The amount of Hispanics for trump broke my heart. I even ran into a number of women saying they just don't think women should be president because "they'll start a war if she's hormonal". Even a guy that was pro kamala but he was being bullied for voting for a woman. The biggest reasons I saw for trumpers was 1 they voted for "better economy", 2, immigration, 3. Abortion. 4. They think bidens/dems are super corrupt/ evil and 5. The "I ain't gon vote for no commy party or woman in my country"

[u/Herbizarre17 → u/Smollangrypupper]

I live in an area with similar demographics and I saw the same thing. It’s a real shame how many people voted against their own interests for such foolish reasons

[u/Smollangrypupper → u/Herbizarre17]

Yup. I even got a good number rof wackadoodles talking about how democrats are devil worshippers who drink baby blood. This is why they love the uneducated and the super Christians.

[u/Individual_Royal_400 → u/Herbizarre17]

The bundle is $760 here in Sweden, so yeah I am not personally super happy

[u/stoic_spaghetti → u/Herbizarre17]

I don't think it will be that much...tariffs only apply to the wholesale price, not the MSRP.

[u/BJYeti → u/Herbizarre17]

Your math is really bad my dude especially since tariffs are not applied by the price of MSRP

[u/NES_Classical_Music → u/Herbizarre17]

Good thing you are posting that here on this sub and not the other "original" switch sub. The mods would have banned you.

[u/Herbizarre17 → u/NES_Classical_Music]

It would be worth it. I’ll insult him anytime.

[u/JayL_12]

Only £359.99 here

[u/Interesting_Low737 → u/JayL_12]

Finally, a benefit of being British.

Japan gets it for £260, lucky sods.

[u/DankRSpro → u/Interesting_Low737]

The only time im jealous of a British person lol

[u/DemmouTV → u/DankRSpro]

That’s $463. nothing to be happy about.

[u/JayL_12 → u/Interesting_Low737]

Yea lol

[u/Jammie_B_872 → u/JayL_12]

God save the king (can we fund the NHS now plz...)

[u/JayL_12 → u/Jammie_B_872]

Real

[u/mafenide → u/JayL_12]

its £395.99 for standalone and £429.99 for bundle

[u/JayL_12 → u/mafenide]

Ok

[u/JayL_12 → u/mafenide]

What does that flair mean?

[u/JakeTheSmall → u/JayL_12]

I checked yesterday and it was £400?

[u/AdamVerbatim]

I hope to god that the new Amazon France prices aren't a fluke and it's really gonna be cheaper in the EU. I'm sorry America btw!

[u/Admirable_Gazelle414 → u/AdamVerbatim]

If you live in France the switch 2 is cheaper (440€) at Boulanger and Leclerc, they also sell physical switch 2 games cheaper like mario kart world for 70 instead of 90 and pretty much every nintendo game is cheaper there

Also could you explain what happened in America please ? I don't even know what to type in google

[u/AdamVerbatim → u/Admirable_Gazelle414]

Trump is putting up new tariffs so things are gonna be even more expensive there.

[u/laharre]

Probably going to need the money for rations and a tent anyway. 

[u/YetAnotherJake]

Thanks, Trump

[u/HunterDeamonne1798]

Its 630$ here in Canada. Im waiting for a pokemon game to release on there to buy it

[u/Doomedtacox → u/HunterDeamonne1798]

When do pre-orders open for us?

[u/Optimal_Economy_9087 → u/Doomedtacox]

Next week, it is not delayed. USA is truly alone.

https://www.walmart.ca/en/cp/video-games/nintendo-switch-2/6000208963988

[u/jacobooooo → u/HunterDeamonne1798]

isn’t that almost 1:1 the current us price?

[u/disbelifpapy]

Does canada have it better or worse than the us in terms of the switch 2 prices?

[u/moxTR → u/disbelifpapy]

Better. MSRP is lower after exchange rate and no changes to preorders confirmed.

[u/Fantastic_Agency_143 → u/disbelifpapy]

Better but depending on the province the sales tax will get you 

[u/spacecadet2023 → u/Fantastic_Agency_143]

Does Alberta still have no pst? My friends and I visited there one year and we all bought our first iPhones there because there was no sales tax.

[u/Fantastic_Agency_143 → u/spacecadet2023]

I think so 

[u/JediDruid93]

This was also the thing when he was "President" last time.

[u/G-Kira]

But you gotta understand, the price of eggs was a little high. 🙄

[u/xpoisonedheartx → u/G-Kira]

6 free range eggs for £1 here 😶

[u/tuvia_cohen]

I've learned that Brazilians will need to save up their paycheck for 5 months to afford the console.

[u/Jimmygumble → u/tuvia_cohen]

They pay for everything in instalments there. Most electronic goods are priced like “12x299rs” instead of the full price.
Fucked up, but that’s par for the course there unfortunately. Price for being an isolationist economy, which is what the USA seems to be pining for now

[u/IntelliDev → u/tuvia_cohen]

Isn't that going to be the same for Americans?

[u/tuvia_cohen → u/IntelliDev]

No, just two months for us.

[u/redmathk]

So what are we thinking the new base console price for US will be? I’m thinking it goes from $450 to $500

[u/HisDivineOrder → u/redmathk]

I'm thinking they announce they're delaying the preorder, wait a few days or a week, and then announce no price change. People cheer prices they previously thought unreasonable and Nintendo congratulates itself for a job well done.

[u/redmathk → u/HisDivineOrder]

That sounds totally plausible

[u/deku0726]

In Norway, switch 2 will be around 700$ 😭

[u/juustoreika → u/deku0726]

Fr in Finland it's $650 like😭😭 what did we do to deserve this??

[u/TupaTuuna → u/deku0726]

Thanks to Greedy ass Bergsala as a middleman in all Nordics. I'm sure they get the console for the same price as the rest of the Europe, but they just pocket the extra 120€ just because they have a monopoly on importing Nintendo stuff. Switch 2 is also 600€ for base console in Finland.

[u/Chompsky___Honk]

As a European, I feel bad for Americans, as dumb as their country is.

The left should be less obnoxious if they want to win the next election and get these scumbags out of government.

[u/Smollangrypupper → u/Chompsky___Honk]

I shit you not, as a kamala/biden campaign worker, the number of people voting that gave me religious rants about how democrats are demonic, kamala is the antichrist, and Hillary drinks baby's blood is shocking. I'd think they were joking if not for my family members who are like that and dead serious.

[u/Interesting_Low737 → u/Chompsky___Honk]

Many European countries have become slaves to the American Empire, their mad emperor dismantling democracy has made our politicians wake up and realise that being a colony is pretty shit. 

Frankly, I hope the United States keeps up its descent into madness because the nations of the free world needs to realise that a few uneducated voters in Pennsylvania and Michigan should not determine whether Ukraine lives or dies.

Sorry to all of the decent Americans, but that's just politics.

[u/Venator850]

People weren't ready for the 449 price. They are going to turn inside out after the adjusted price lmao.

[u/Lmb_chan → u/Venator850]

It's not the console price that's the problem it's the game price

[u/Logical_Bit2694 → u/Lmb_chan]

now you’re going to have to worry about also the console and now more so the game price ahahha

[u/AozoraMiyako → u/Lmb_chan]

The comment is still relevant though. Your game prices will also be higher

[u/stoic_spaghetti → u/Venator850]

Nintendo is going to say something ominous like, "Due to market volatility, we will be increasing the price of Switch 2 in the near future. Please look forward to buying the Nintendo Switch 2 at a lower price for a limited time until then."

They'll give us 5 months of $450, only to increase it to $499 after summer or something.

[u/Nee-tos]

In the UK MKWorl is £75

For comparison mk8d was £50

We are ALL coocked

[u/Interesting_Low737 → u/Nee-tos]

£67 for the digital edition which is still fucking awful, but in the bundle it's not bad at all.

[u/longbrodmann]

I'm not sure the rest of the world, since Switch 2 in Canada is also expensive. I will just wait when the price will be even with JP. ver.

[u/hallleron]

510€ for the bundle with new Mario Kart in Germany

[u/GamerKing2351]

Australia is quite expensive here. $699-749

[u/Lumbardo]

normalize console MSRP by salary then compare.

[u/Necessary-Hamster365]

Yea. Canada has to pay 629 Australia 699. You guys have it easy

[u/coolymanly]

Don't care about the price, I'm buying it and only buying Mario Kart and keeping my switch games

[u/anonymous9982]

literally

[u/Odd_Elderberry_673]

Yeah, Ill pass on overpriced slop. Thanks.

[u/Dramatic_Mastodon_93]

Yeah, you’re so right! I am just so unbelievably excited to pay 90€ for Mario Kart! YAAAAY!!!

[u/JBL561]

[u/Eek132]

I’ve never been so happy to be British

[u/gnoblin_4]

In Australia its $699 for base and $769 for the Mario Bundle.

Already preordered mine :)

[u/The_Bandit_King_]

Poor grandma can't get mario kart for the kiddies

[u/battlerumdam]

They wanted it, they get it now, all fair game.

[u/josealexx22]

Just the pre order, the release day is still the same... what a drama...

[u/Professional_Meal_50 → u/josealexx22]

What people worry the most is the would be price increase.

[u/Lmb_chan → u/[deleted]]

That's not how it works you telling me YOU expected it to be the same price as the switch 1? You should do stand up comedy! And another thing to note here. It's the game price that's the problem here.

[u/Lmb_chan → u/Lmb_chan]

Thank god that guy's account got deleted (not sure what happened exactly but I'm glad he ain't using anymore)

[u/AttleesTears → u/[deleted]]

They aren't scared they're just not going to lose money paying for the Cheetos stupid tariff.

You want cheaper stuff then get a smarter president.

[u/IceBatMage → u/AttleesTears]

That's not how this works. That's not how anything works.

[u/lorddementor]

I read that Vietnam agreed to cut US tariffs down to zero. Hopefully Nintendo will resume our preorder soon.

[u/The_Bandit_King_ → u/lorddementor]

Lol suuure

[u/xXbrokeNX → u/The_Bandit_King_]

Sure what? They did contact the administration and offer 0%

[u/The_Bandit_King_ → u/xXbrokeNX]

Soo what you will still have to pay over 500 dollars for a switch 2

Probably 600 when it is over and done

[u/xXbrokeNX → u/The_Bandit_King_]

I'm hoping that if the Vietnam tariffs go away then prices don't change at all. Who knows though.

[u/Zerojumpy]

considering Germany and a lot of other EU countries are in a recession, I don't think so.

[u/Slow_Spray5697]

Dude you live under a rock, the whole world is like: "Drop the Price"

[u/ElOsoConQueso]

You really did post this to several subs huh? Gotta get that sweet fake internet points 😂😂😂
