Idk if this is real:

 

[bighugeguns]

So, expecting around £500 in the UK.

Should be £750 in South Africa. The poorer the country the more expensive it gets.

 

[MoneySings]

PRICES ARE UP! https://store.nintendo.co.uk/en £395 or £429 with Mario Kart

Just in the queue myself to confirm, but that was posted on Eurogamer

 

[StueyDuck]

It says it multiplayer. As in someone can jump in like some other souls games ?

so like an extraction game or something.

would make more sense for fromsoft to keep a smaller experimental title exclusive.

 

[judhudson]

Eyyy June 5th is my birthday.

Same here, this will be my present lol

 

[Gambit2483]

These are the games you could buy for years on other platforms, many of them sub $10. They already look rough during official presentation, in a year or two no new games will be coming. For PC handheld you can buy a better version in a year or two, not so much here (although I think this time they are definitely releasing a Switch 2 Pro).

Nor every Switch owner has these games already and the fact these games are now PORTABLE on a non 600$+ PC handheld brings them to an entirely new audience.

This 3rd party fake outrage is Stupid af. Probably steadmdeck owners realizing how Switch 2 makes it irrelevant now esp with 120fps/HDR capabilities

 

[Kenpachii]

Wanted to see the next mario odyssey, nothing showcased. Easy skip for me.

 

[Woopah]

So....no launch 1st party 'real' games?

So… the only first party switch 2 exclusives shown in an HOUR were Mario kart, Kirby kart, and Donkey Kong Odyssey?

yea, so retarded they have actual new launch games while Ninty doesnt.

1st party wise its:

Mario Kart World at launch
DK in July
Drag X Drive in Summer
Then Hyrule Warriors, Prime 4, Pokémon ZA and Kirby Air Riders in the rest of 2025.

Ah, ok.

Cheaper than I expected.

 

[Complistic]

That's a lot of ports (that you gotta pay extra to upgrade )

Super disappointed in that direct.

 

[Metnut]

So basically I’ll get this to play DK, Prime 4 and Mario Kart. Pretty strong lineup close to launch.

 

[AJUMP23]

Biggest let down is I thought they would have anew Mario platformer.

 

[Naked Lunch]

I need to see the backward compatible list.
In particular the switch shmups. Mainly M2 shotrigger line.

FZero GX being locked behind the switch online sub is not cool.
I was hoping for a full physical re-release with 30 online players. Now that will never happen.

 

[balls of snow]

That price and no oled screen. Just slap a $500 premium bundle oled + 512 gb storage and you got my money Ninty.
As it is..I will wait.

 

[Sakura]

Where exactly ? I rewatch it and nowhere it's saying exclusive. Even the commenter.

Someone told it is because of the Switch logo on top. I am not used to Nintendo pratices.

The part where it showed 2026

Damn, yall can preorder there already?

 

[jufonuk]

Nintendo getting third party love. Thought that was pretty good

 

[nikos]

$500 to play Mario Kart. Not sure I'm in a rush for that lol

 

[phant0m]

Gonna be $500 to play PS4 ports

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Used Steam Deck OLED is $350, so....

Also, did you get an impression that Elden Ring or going to run at 120FPS lol?

 

[YOU PC BRO?!]

Hardware Tour as a paid experience is a new low for Nintendo...

 

[MoneySings]

Damn, yall can preorder there already?

I'll post up once it is up - probably can't pre-order yet. I have a 6 min wait now in the queue

 

[Teh Chosen Juan]

this is going to be HUGE! now they just need to introduce the nintendo time machine to take us back to when we were 12 so we can enjoy it! sweet garbage graphics and dated gameplay!

 

[od-chan]

I'm hearing 90 bucks for retail mario kart, 80 for digital?

 

[Kacho]

Same, was super hyped for this, I only have myself to blame. For a console reveal and considering how long its took, color me disappointed.

I'll still buy one but it looks outdated already, no wow factor at all and severely lacking Nintendo games.

Seems the guy is just melting down in general because of the negative reception.

But yeah, pretty disappointing overall. The new DK looks awesome at least. I'm all in on that.

 

[tmlDan]

1st party wise its:

Mario Kart World at launch
DK in July
Drag X Drive in Summer
Then Hyrule Warriors, Prime 4, Pokémon ZA and Kirby Air Riders in the rest of 2025.

so no launch games, thanks.

 

[Idleyes]

Idk if this is real:

If anything it's real for you if you're not subject to MAGA taxes.

 

[StueyDuck]

things naturally get more expensive but that $450 isn't looking pretty.

looking like I'll wait for the switch 2 lite or whatever

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

$449 and $500 is a crazy price for that performance, I would rather wait for the steam deck 2 or next Rog Ally.

 

[bender]

$500 to play Mario Kart. Not sure I'm in a rush for that lol

$600 and you can play MK, F-Zeero GX and Kirby Air Riders in the first six months.

 

[ReyBrujo]

Apparently the Japanese console can only be used with a Japanese account.
Games to be 70-75 euros digital, 80-90 physical.

 

[PonyStation4]

$80 games are here

 

[E-Cat]

this is going to be HUGE! now they just need to introduce the nintendo time machine to take us back to when we were 12 so we can enjoy it! sweet garbage graphics and dated gameplay!

When I was 12, I was playing Goldeneye and Ocarina of Time. I don't think I would have enjoyed this.

 

[Kacho]

$80 games are here

Oh lawdy lawd

 

[NuclearDiarrhea]

Garbage stream. Switch 2 will be bomb just like Switch 1. Only a game with uber realistic graphics like Horizon can save this console.

 

[Woopah]

so no launch games, thanks.

I just said Mario Kart World is the launch game.

 

[StueyDuck]

If anything it's real for you if you're not subject to MAGA taxes.

International gaming has VAT on it. "MAGA" taxes appear on most gaming consoles around the world and have done so since before.

 

[dave_d]

$80 games are here

Oh so it's back to how things were on the Genesis and SNES

 

[lestar]

Gonna be $500 to play downgraded, blurried and low framerate PS4 ports

fixed

 

[MoneySings]

Here you go!

 

[seething left]

$449 and $500 is a crazy price for that performance, I would rather wait for the steam deck 2 or next Rog Ally.

That's exactly what I'm gonna do.

 

[Kacho]

I just said Mario Kart World is the launch game.

I wouldn't waste your time with him.

 

[tr1p1ex]

I was right.

lol yes you were. Not getting it myself. Already played those gmaes.

MIght get the MPJ S2 DLC tho.

 

[Danjin44]

I’m more than sold on Switch 2.

 

[StueyDuck]

Garbage stream. Switch 2 will be bomb just like Switch 1.

People were critical of switch 1 yes and were completely wrong.

However, when it came to the showcase for Switch 1, they knocked it out of the park, and people were sold on it instantly.

This isn't a similar scenario. We all know what to expect from the console, and the games were primarily underwhelming.

I don't think Switch 2 is going to bomb, but comparing it to Switch 1 is apples to oranges.

 

[Kataploom]

Pretty excited about it, almost everything I wanted from became true.

I'm almost sure they'll put another direct before it comes out to show some first party release date and maybe newer games.

Switch 2 is to Switch as WiiU is to Wii

 

[jorgejjvr]

Anyone know if we can do voice chat with our own Bluetooth headphones?

 

[Boss Mog]

I felt like the whole thing was a parody: Mario Kart Horizon, touting chat functionality and paid update patches. I guess they don't care, they know it will sell no matter what they do.

Holy shit...
