- Fans demand that Nintendo “release the price” of switch 2
- The treehouse: the live chat is kidnapped as spam fans the same request
- The Nintendo Switch 2 is priced at $ 449.99, while Switch 2 games will cost more than $ 80
The controversial price of Nintendo Switch 2 has divided fans, and are now taking their frustrations directly to the source.
The first Nintendo tree house: Live of the Week is already live, showing some of the new Switch 2 games like Mario de Mario Kart, Kong Bananza donkeyand Welcome Tour.
However, instead of expressing the emotion for the launch alignment, fans are practically begging Nintendo to “release the price!” of its next console, which is confirmed that it will cost $ 449.99 / £ 395.99.
With more than 120k spectators observing, when writing, it is difficult to find a single comment that does not demand a lower price, with some jokes that “will spend their life savings” on the console.
While others blame the president of the United States, Donald Trump, for the recent increase in tariffs, there are also fans who comment on the high cost of Switch 2 games.
They are currently being sold for more than $ 79.99 / £ 75.99 and $ 89.99 / £ 85.99, and some argue that a console and a single game together are simply too expensive.
After the launch of Nintendo 3DS in 2011, Nintendo significantly reduced the price of the hand computer from $ 249.99 to $ 169.99, after the bad launch sales. Taking into account the contentious price of Switch 2, it would not be surprising if Nintendo withdraw a similar movement if it is in the same situation.
The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct was broadcast yesterday, confirming that the console will be launched on June 5, 2025, with the Switch 2 orders scheduled to open on April 8.
