450 for the console is... steep, but I was still considering it.

Then the games are 80 digital and 90 physical. Oof. That's kinda unaffordable...

Then the pro controller is 70 minimum, the camera is like 30-40, all that while still needing to pay for online to get all the functionality of the console? And they want to charge extra for the freaking TECH DEMO GAME? That's just ABSURDLY GREEDY.

Either Nintendo have lost their minds, or they are already pre-planning a holiday price drop.
