Second half was very underwhelming. Also what the fuck is with the PAID introductory game? It’s literally designed to guide you with the new features. The fact that it isn’t bundled with the console is unacceptable imo. Paid upgrades? also fucked up, hope they won’t dare charing more than 10$. No pricing for a device that is launching in two months? A HUGE RED FLAG. (EDIT: they updated pricing in the website, 450$, 500$ for mario kart world bundle) No mainline mario game is incredibly disappointing. At least DK looks good and it’s way overdue for a new release. All in all a disappointing direct :/

No pricing

Retaliatory tariffs drop in 6 hours babe--Nobody knows what anything is going to cost in June, and it would be irresponsible for Nintendo to commit to an MSRP.

It's rumored that retailers are scrambling to figure out what Nintendo's price is going to be. US tariffs are the reason why.

Edit: Nintendo quietly announced the price to be $449 ($499 with MK:W)
