When GTA comes out at $80 plus and Sony, Microsoft, and others raise their prices to $80 soon there will no longer be a pricing complaint.

I wouldn't be surprised if the question that the support team member was asked was in regards to the separately available upgrade packs, because retailers will have the ability to sell upgrade packs as a standalone, which is unsurprisingly just a download code. Note how the "Does it play?" account states that there is a Switch 1 card despite the quoted response below making no mention of it. |
Yeah, it wasn't hard to find evidence from another service rep that said the opposite:
The morale of the story is, these service reps don't know anything. They know what we know, and we know shit.
I do have another thought though. If the upgrade pack isn't just a port of a Switch 2 version, which I originally assumed, why couldn't they just put it all on a Switch 1 cart? If it's not required to have the game installed to faster memory and the upgrade pack just uses some workaround to leverage the Switch 2's hardware, what difference would it make?
The service rep here stated that the enhancements are all on the cart (didn't require a download) but also that the game works on Switch 1.

So the Switch 2 Edition will have the Switch 2 version on the cart, but can still be played on a Switch 1? If thats the case, then thats amazing.

Lol,, that be the twist of all time.
From bad deal, badder deal to suddenly a decent one(minus the price)

A lot of hype is surrounding it's successor and so far everything is going well. The hardware is impressive, the games are impressive, even the price of the system is fairly affordable given the power. Everything is going well so far... Except for one problem. The biggest launch title you have, a Kart racer staring an Italian plumber, costs $80. And people don't find out about this until after your big presentation. |
Original Switch + Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in 2017 = $359.98 ($299.99 + $59.99), adjusted for inflation $468.60
Switch 2 + Mario Kart World in 2025 = $499.99
And if you also want a wireless Pro controller for docked play (also allowing up to 3 local players in Mario Kart), you can get a compatible Switch 1 Pro controller for 35 - 50 bucks (either a new third party Pro controller or a used Nintendo original Switch 1 Pro controller).
You hadn't that option in 2017, the Wii U Pro controller wasn't compatible, so your only option was a new Nintendo Switch 1 Pro controller for $69.99
Original Switch + Mario Kart 8 Deluxe + Switch 1 Pro controller in 2017 = $429.97 ($299.99 + $59.99 + $69.99), adjusted for inflation $559.71
Switch 2 + Mario Kart World in 2025 = $535 - $550
Yes. Lower the price.

GTA 6 and other games of its ilk costs so much more to develop that this argument falls flat.
Some rich douchebag fucked up the global economy so bad that even video games are becoming unaffordable. It's like we really are back in the 20s. -_-

Speaking of BC, did you know they're mostly going the emulation rout? Just saw this last night. The Switch 2 doesn't have the hardware to natively play Switch 1 games, so Nintendo is having to do some sort of funky mixed thing to get the games to work.
