So are you guys getting a Switch 2?

MK64 was also not $39.99. That was after my time at EB. $59.99 at launch iirc, although some carts were $69.99 and that may have been one of them. N64 launched at $249.99 too.

Thanks for clarifying. I think you’re right.

The more coverage I see about Switch 2 the more excited I’m getting for it.

The tariff situation just has me a bit spooked.

I’d be willing to pay a small premium to get Switch 2, but if the price changes substantially, I’ll make a trip to Montreal to buy it (if I somehow manage reserve one there).

Been meaning to go there anyway. So I’ll make a nice little weekend out of it with my wife.

If someone knows how to contact the Game Rant people, that would be good to let them know their article is super inaccurate. I looked on their web site and the CONTACT US page has no email link I can find other than jobs. Maybe they should hire me though since their writer has pushed misinformation into the top hit on Google when you look for the price of Mario Kart… via AI of course.

I plan on waiting for the tariff stuff to quiet down but I still plan on getting one. I have gotten to the point where Nintendo counsels are almost exclusively for playing Nintendo games; and I enjoy their games enough that I’m ok with that

Yeah I’m in this time as I felt like a fool for waiting on the original and it’s a hell of a system:

The pricing stuff is wild tho, even here in the UK. Just crazy.

I’m worried that the macroeconomic environment could spell the end of physical games as we know it. Always seemed like despite the decline on the triple-A side on Xbox and PlayStation, Switch was a haven for this format.

But if it becomes too expensive to import the media for publishers, we’ll either see a shift away from physical releases, or a shift toward the cheaper 0GB option. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to this, but the uncertainty right now probably will be changing the shape of physical on Switch 2 as I type this…
