I'm surprised this wasn't free with the console.

Feels like a mistake to attempt to charge for this.

It’s a set of tech demos, just include it for free; even if it’s for NSO subscribers only.

It feels like they've taken the formula for 1-2-Switch, stripped the party functionality, added random trivia bullshit and are expecting money

Well that's fine then! 

Problem with not mentioning prices in your presentation is stuff like this. At least they learned from the PS5 showcase mistake and actually told us what games were launch titles, though. 

For such a low price, I'm shocked they're not running a promo for the first six months or year where it's free to Switch 2 owners or included in NSO?

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

Yeah it's one of those things that would have been a really nice positive message if given away for free. As it is it will just be seen as a $5 waste of time.
