Hmm hmmm 🤔 

Your point would be stronger if it was actually a one to one situation but people who own these games on Switch don't have to rebuy them to begin with. There will be a 10$ or 20$(for the ones with extra content/DLC)  upgrade pack with of course better performances for those who wishes to get these editions.

This is indeed a prohibitive measure for new users though. 

But for all instance and purpose, this is just them keeping the same previous price points on their games from last gen and adding the price of the upgrade pack on top of it. 

There isn't a grander plan from them here, it's the same kind of business they've run throughout the Switch lifetime. 

I am hoping to get the MK World bundle too  - gotta wait until next week to hopefully get it

I use NSO game and music apps so I'll get the Zelda packs through NSO

Same here, I'm likely not gonna get any multiplat third party titles either - wanted FFVII Remake Intergrade but the thought of it being 30 FPS irks me so not going to be buying it.

As for the memory card, I'll wait to see for more options and pricing before buying it. Not in a rush since the internal memory is decent sized. And yes, absolutely no interest in buying the camera and not interested in the C button.

The Switch 1 Pro controllers will work on the Switch 2 so I'm not in a rush to buying a Switch 2 pro controller because I have two Switch 1 pro controllers already.

Awesome if they are 100% compatible to all games on Switch 2.

It's in the same sentence as the compatible Switch (1) games.

So I hope that doesn't mean that only Switch 1 games can be played on Switch 2 with Switch-1-controllers.

Sony pulled that shit with the Dual Shock 4 on PS5... only PS4 games can be played with the DS4 on PS5.

And I still don't know why my blutooth PS3 media remote wasn't compatible with my PS4 or PS5.

Man, Nintendo must be very cocky to price games up to $80! That is way too high to me!!

*Nintendo Switch controllers can be used wirelessly and are also compatible with Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive games, but cannot be used if the games requires features unique to Joy-Con 2, such as mouse controls

I’m fine with the price of the console, although I would have preferred lower specs, a lower price tag, and a “who cares” attitude toward AAA third-party games.

As for the games, it’s not great. If they had gone $60 and $70 instead of $70 and $80, I think most people would be grumpy but quiet. The extra $10 is a big jump psychologically, especially since we are all just getting used to $70. I can only assume Nintendo saw the writing on the wall and wanted to get ahead of the market — instead of raising prices mid-generation.

All that said, video games in general and Nintendo games in particular are very dear to me, so I will suck it up and pay the prices. Life is short and I’m fortunate to have the disposable income.

I’ll most likely buy fewer games, though.

All fine and good, but elsewhere on Nintendo's website I read that pressing the home button on a Switch 1 controller cannot end Switch 2's standby mode, meaning you'd have to either use a Switch 2 controller to turn the console on or stand up and press the power button on the console.

It's pretty clear that Nintendo is trying to be the Disney of video games. They price their games high and don't let them drop because it creates perceived value, and prevents people from "waiting until next year" to buy them. 

It works. 

I usually don't buy games Day 1, because I don't have time to play them for long periods (busy with work and education), and it makes sense to just buy them when I am going to play them (and the price drops) rather than buy at full price and then sit on it until I play it six months down the line. 

But for Nintendo games I don't really worry about that. For Switch I knew that for the big 1st party games there was a good chance the price would only drop by about 10-20% at most. This has been true since the Wii days more or less, but increasingly true for the Switch releases. 

I think what people are worried about are the other AAA publishers following this and also increasing their big game prices. They probably will, and more people will just turn to the subscription services to play them. I've already stopped buying games for my PS5/XBS:X because I know they'll likely pop up on subscription services like Game Pass or PS+ where I can play them on multiple platforms or I can buy them a lot cheaper on PC where there is an actual semi-competitive game market. I am not a collector and don't really feel like reselling games, so I don't care about owning a physical copy. 

There really is no easy solution. Software Engineers, product managers, 3D Artists, etc cost a lot of money, game companies need a lot of them to make games people want, and we live in a capitalist system where shareholders want their returns on investment. Add those all together, and prices are going to increase. They're not going to stay the same forever. 

Really what I think should've been done is have games increase gradually over time. People were used to AAA titles stabilizing at $50-$60 between 2005 - 2020, and weren't happy with the increase to $70 in 2020, and now not happy with an increase to $80 in 2025 because of that fifteen years of stable, declining real game prices. 

Edit: There is also the perspective that Nintendo has probably now set the maximum game price for the industry at $80. There was a good possibility that another publisher would've set it to $90 or $100 with a big release. So it might be a better history compared to the alternative. 

Will the MK bundle only be digital copy of MK?

I'm a collector and a sucker for the physical copies

Yes, it's confirmed to be a download.
