I do wonder if the PR person got confused though, we can't see in that screen grab what question they were asked - it's possible that they thought the question was about the Upgrade Pack cards which will seemingly be available in physical stores (like digital versions of games are at the moment) Hopefully that's the case and the physical release actually contains all the content but I won't be holding my breath on that

If that's the case then there's no point in buying the physical Switch 2 Edition - you're basically just getting worse box art for the 'convenience' of having a code. Would be better off just buying the upgrade pack on the eShop instead

It'd be like if they released a Game Boy Colour exclusively in the UK

It's an insane move but one that I guess is understandable because of the chaos Trump has created these past two days. Nobody predicted 46% tariffs for Vietnam and Nintendo purposefully moved their manufacturing there to avoid future tariffs because Vietnam has historically had a good trading relationship with the US. If Nintendo can't negotiate an exemption with the US and just slap the 46% onto the sticker price then American consumers will be paying an extra $200 for a Switch 2. If they can't come to a separate arrangement for the gaming industry like they did in 2017 then I don't see how this doesn't impact prices elsewhere. The US is Nintendo's biggest market, they're not going to be happy charging $650 - $700 for the Switch 2

The chat on the YouTube stream is an absolute trainwreck though, just constant spamming of 'LOWER THE PRICE!" or "PIRATE ALL NINTENDO GAMES!" I'm sure it'll die down eventually but there has definitely been a huge backlash in some corners to the price rises. It's been a bit of a whirlwind the last 24 hrs, there is so much about the games and the hardware that seem incredible so I am really excited to get my hands on the Switch 2 but the revelations about the uptick in game pricing have definitely taken some of the gloss off

Yeah, it's a bit of a weird one I don't know why they don't just eat the cost and make it built in but at least it's only a few quid - I'll probably pick it up, it looks like there are should be a few mini games in there to try out at least

Got one with Argos just now, all went through pretty quickly and painlessly too Let's-a-go!

Showing as unavailable - I wonder if they just posted the page early by mistake?

FFS, Smyths don't accept PayPal so I can't pre-order yet (need to do pay in 3 really) I've registered my interest on a couple of sites though so hopefully one of them pays off.

Legitimately the most hype moment in the Direct

Definitely buying this on launch - Fast RMX was great!

It's all detailed on this page https://www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/whats-new-with-nintendo-switch-online-on-nintendo-switch-2/?srsltid=AfmBOopoSrcrr3ICk0rRUckAfI5pzFbzlti3uCseOwWCcowdu1wPnKq2

Just noticed that some upgrade packs come bundled with your NSO Expansion Pack subscription including Metroid Prime 4, BOTW & TOTK There really is a tsunami of information that Nintendo have just dumped online - learning new things every few minutes

It does look weirdly ugly, I wonder if this is a subtle way to discourage people from buying physical

That's good news, hopefully there will be more than that too. I'm sure some third parties will offer free upgrades too, but I'm really curious to see how much these upgrade vouchers are going to cost - £10 would be pretty reasonable but given the cost of some of the software makes me think they'll be charging more
