The Switch 2 will hit store shelves on June 5 for $449.99.

Mario Kart World will cost $80, an increase from $60, which is what Nintendo charged for Switch games.

Um... Wow.

With these prices, they better have one hell of a line up besides a Mario Kart that looks about the same and Street Fighter 6.

I'm very interested on how powerful this thing is if it's price is going to be higher than the LCD Steam Deck and $100 less than the OLED model.

as a Canadian I'm used to everything being expensive as fuck, but I have to draw the line somewhere. this is why piracy exists. I'll probably break down and buy one at the next major Zelda title launch, because I don't get a choice in that. my heart wants what it wants, and I'm getting too old to say no at this point.

Everyone should just move to piracy anyways.

Products cost what we're willing to pay, not what they cost to produce.

The fact so many people are willing to pay for things they can get for free (while complaining they don't have enough money) is just another reason why things are the way they are. We've been conditioned to be proud of our consumerism at any cost.
