I just saw this getting reported. Oof. That's not a great price.

[skankhunt42@lemmy.ca]

Looks like $629.99. Never sure if it's CAD or USD but my Nintendo account is Canadian.

I think I might buy a steamdeck instead and just hope that the fromsoft game is a temporary exclusive

[simple@lemm.ee]

That's CAD, it's $450 in the US.

But how does Stardew Valley run?

[somethingburger@jlai.lu]

90€ for Mario Kart I hope this console flops because of this alone.

[satyrsack@feddit.org]

Can the launch model be rooted?

[simple@lemm.ee]

Nobody knows yet.

[chozo@fedia.io]

There was fine print at one point during the stream that specified that 4K will be limited to 60 FPS.

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

You're looking at the en-can page. You're in Canada. It's CAD.

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

Do you think Nintendo would announce that?

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

If you don't have autorun on you just hold the stick all the way in one direction.

Only time will tell.

No way in hell Nintendo would come out and talk about exploits in their game console. Also if they knew about it they'd fix it first.

[skankhunt42@lemmy.ca]

The en-ca in the URL means nothing as I've bought from .ca websites and been charged in USD before. To be fair, it wasn't a large company like Nintendo but it still happened. Fastest cancel I've ever done. So, Unless it's explicitly called out next to the price or I've bought something from there before, I usually assume it's USD.

[mudman@fedia.io]

It's both not unexpected and actually pretty reasonable, considering how similar hardware on PC handhelds stacks up.

I'm more upset at the nickel-and-diming of resolution and performance upgrades for Switch 1 games, to be honest.

[mudman@fedia.io]

The reporting I'm seeing puts it at 40 if you buy the console bundle. Which... I mean, why wouldn't you?

I'm not sure what the deal is with the physical version, I have to assume it's some collector's edition deal with an Amiibo or something. Can't imagine they straight up double the price if you want to buy the card in a box instead of bundled with the console. Waiting on official prices for all of it, in any case.

[makyo@lemmy.world]

Yeah that's driving me crazy too, it's 2025 and it's an obvious marketing gimmick to withhold the OLED at this point

[somethingburger@jlai.lu]

This is the price for the game on the official Nintendo store. DK is priced at 70€ digital and 80€ physical, it's not just a Mario Kart thing.

Man, those suits really scream fun don’t they?

[mudman@fedia.io]

Got a link? My official Nintendo site hadn't updated with Switch 2 info when I checked. Do they detail the contents of the physical versions?
