Gaming

I am very curious how they're going to tackle regional pricing on games. $80 USD converts to $115 Canadian. No other console is pricing their games that way. At least not yet (thanks nintendo) But that would be a $25-35 increase compared to Ps5 and Xbox games.

For being a family console, it seems like a very weird decision when we've been hit with such bad inflation and wage stagnation in the past 5 years. I cannot see as families springing for a switch 2 as they did for the switch 1.

I am seriously considering waiting until a must have title comes out at this point because the price to value just isn't checking out at the moment. It seems odd. The only thing I can think of is that Nintendo has to have some very good games cooking for the future because this immediate presentation was...underwhelming?

Edit: Thinking about it more, if they did price their games that way, I think it would completely price me out of new games all together. I would have to absolutely know 100% that I'm going to love a game and play it for a very long time to justify that kind of price. Very few games do that for me. I feel like that kind of price increase would encourage illegal downloads too. Especially for countries with weaker currencies
