I get that times have changed, but in Canada it costs even more. And what about younger gamers who will wanna play Donkey Kong Bananza and Mario Kart World? They're being left out. -_-

Really young children aren't Nintendo's core demographic anymore and haven't been a for a while. Just is what it is. 

For you children, you can pick up the $300 Switch or even cheaper Switch Lite and they can enjoy Mario Kart and DK Bananza there until a cheaper Switch 2 Lite (or whatever is the cheaper model) eventually comes out. 

Either that or their parents just have to decide maybe a Switch 2 is "expensive", but it's also likely to be used to 5+ years whereas a lot of other toys and things like that won't be and it's a lot cheaper than say a trip to Disneyland or something else a parent promised and has grown way too expensive to make work. 

When you put it that way they might as well have made the Switch 2 launch games as child unfriendly as possible. Time for Candy Kong to take her top off and for Samus to rip out a space pirate's spine, I guess.

Honestly most people I know with young kids (I am 31, so about that age) buy Nintendo platforms for themselves and share them with their children. This isn't the 80s-00's when most parents didn't grow up playing video games.

Fair point, but I still see this in Nintendo:
