All Nintendo titles see an increase from the $60 Switch 1 status quo.

Aren't consoles and their new game always ridiculously expensive on launch? I know Nintendo stuff often doesn't drop in price that much but I'd be surprised if they stay this expensive for long. Plenty of other games to play in the meantime!
These are the top 5 sellers on Switch:
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
- Animal Crossing: New Horizons
- Super Smash Bros Ultimate
- The legend of Zelda:Breath of the Wild
- Super Mario Odyssey
These links take you to a price tracker with a chart showing historical prices. The RRP of each of these has been static, and discounts are short and infrequent.
In a break from form Nintendo hasn't released a budget "Selects" label for older titles this generation.
Fair point, but I still can't imagine they'll be double that price for long. The only GBP price I've seen for a Switch 2 game is the MKW bundle which is only £30 more than the console on its own.
It will only stay as high as the market and customers allow it
If it sells out, expect a price drop in a few years
If it fails to meet Nintendo's expectations (3DS at launch) expect a price drop a few weeks or months (3DS at launch)
If it sells out, expect a price drop in a few years
Switch sold out in 2017, and now the same basic Neon model is selling for the same price in 2025.
Maybe I should have been more specific...i meant mid to end of life. I totally figured forgot the switch lasted a fucking decade
