Bet they priced it that high to get ahead of any tariffs that might affect them. Consumers really don’t like to see price hikes right around a launch. Plus they still want to milk the Switch 1 since they probably have a very healthy profit margin on that machine. This price makes the Switch 1 look very appealing for people who still haven’t bought one.

Okay, but why are they charging $80 for a digital game, which tariffs don't apply to?

I wanna see what the price is and what reviewers think of the screen and I might get one and sell my Switch OLED.

However, with these game prices I sure as hell am not getting any games, I‘ll play through my backlog games which I‘ll also check whether and which will get updates. It‘d be really nice if the games I have that play at 30 fps would play at 60 and at 1080p native. Maybe I’ll get physical copies of Switch 2 games heavily discounted later on.

the size of the framebuffer has nothing to do with how much power the device has to fill it up.

Even the crappiest integrated gpu is "4k" capable

Brought to you by the losers of the lawsuits... Losers like you and me.

Hopefully they'll be releasing games for both Switch and Switch 2 for a while like what happened with PS4/PS5. I know the flagship games will be 2 only, but other 3rd party stuff.

I think I'm going to hack my switch 1 now, and put some custom mario kart tracks on it

I thought the same thing
