Episode 206

A slew of questionable pricing decisions after the initial reveal of the Switch 2 launch has left us and many others questioning Nintendo's strategy. What do we think about a $450 Nintendo console? What about $80 Switch 2 games? Will the present tariff situation further escalate Switch 2 pricing? Today, we do a post-mortem of the Switch 2 blowout and discuss these questions, and more! Also, we talk at length about our time with Blue Prince, in both spoiler-free and spoilery contexts. As always, we conclude with the games we're playing (Blue Prince, Monster Hunter Wilds, Monster Hunter World). This episode was recorded in April 2025. Intro and outro music composed for Gametalk by Dylan Chase ([email protected]).
