$450 for Switch 2 though we will all probably get the Mario Kart bundle for $500 considering the game is $80 (!!) on its own. Donkey Kong Bananza (!) will be $70 so Im guessing that is the normal price going forward.

Don’t love the pricing scheme for Switch 2 (and especially the games!), but I’m not surprised.

I’ll probably wait for the next mainline Zelda release to get one. Nothing else (so far) is appealing.

Plus I’ll be occupied with PS5 for awhile. After Trump won the election I panicked about console prices skyrocketing and bought my first ever Sony console. So far it’s been a blast, with Hogwarts Legacy being mostly delightful, and now thoroughly enjoying Spider-man 2. Also have God of War (PS4), Jedi: Survivor, and God of War: Ragnarok on deck.

Also really intrigued by Ghosts of Tsushima, Astrobot, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Baldur’s Gate 3, the Uncharted bundle, and maybe the Resident Evil 4 remake (although I’m not great with scary / horror games, but have played the OG Gamecube one a few times).

Still haven't played BF3, but all the others you listed are great. Love Hogwarts Legacy and still think it'd have been nominated for game of the year if not for JK developing foot in mouth disease. I'm jealous you get all that for you next year of gaming lol. Definitely check out all the Naughty Dog games too. Even the old Uncharteds still hold up well and Last of Us 2 is an all timer.

Ugh I'm so hyped for Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza that I'm gonna pay whatever stupid price they ask aren't I?

Though something worrying that I've seen brought up: if Nintendo can get away with charging $80 for Mario Kart World does that give other companies complete freedom to charge whatever they want? What if Rockstar says that Grand Theft Auto 6 will cost $100? Can they get away with that? I worry the answer is yes.

I'm glad they made another 3D DK game but I can't say that and the Mario Kart trailer did a lot for me. I think I'd lean towards PS5 if I finally bought another console.

As if we needed any more convincing, Hades 2 will be a Switch 2 exclusive upon launch just like the first was. And ... holy shit is Hollow Knight 2's music??? I was worried that game was dead lol. First is great so hopefully the long development was for quality control.

Hope the Trump Tax doesn't push the price much higher though. $500+ is a lot as is....

RPG fans have been feasting this week with the release of Oblivion Remastered and now Clair Obscure has a 92 on metacritic.

Did everyone get their Switch 2 preorders in?

Gonna probably get the Switch 2 at a future date. I have plenty of games to play on my Switch and I still like to play the old games on my Nintendo Online membership. Plus I am having plenty of fun with Baldur’s Gate 3 right now. Probably will play two more play through until I am done
