The Nintendo Direct was today, the Switch 2 was officially revealed, and digital games will cost $80. No, that wasn’t a typo. Also some games won’t even be on a cartridge, the cartridge is just a key to unlock the downloads... or something. $450. Are you buying a Nintendo Switch 2 at launch or nah? Nintendo Switch 2 games will cost an unprecedented $80 for digital and $90 for physical copies, potentially setting a new industry standard for game pricing. Digital-only games will require a separate cartridge key to unlock downloads, raising concerns about game ownership and digital rights management. The Switch 2’s $450 price point combined with expensive games risks a Wii U-like failure, potentially impacting the entire gaming industry. The new controller’s C button for game chat and GL/GR buttons are viewed as unnecessary gimmicks by some critics. The console’s 2.5-6.5 hour battery life is seen as inadequate for extended gaming sessions. The Switch 2’s 4K output and HDR support are considered by some as expensive gimmicks that don’t justify the increased costs.
