Get Nintendo to Lower the Price of Switch 2 Games

The Issue

 

 

So Nintendo unveiled the Nintendo Switch 2 yesterday and while it looks very cool, there is one problem.  The games have increased from $70 (USD) to $80 (USD).  That is insane.  They know no one would like that so they hid that from yesterday’s direct, which if you’re revealing a new console and its games, you should at least disclose prices.  The only reason I found out about all of this was by scrolling all the way down on Mario Kart World’s website.  What’s worse, some regions, such as Europe for example, have to pay an additional 10% for physical releases. WHAT!?  Most gamers (myself included) prefer physical releases over digital releases in case the servers ever get wiped, so this just feels like an extra kick in the nuts.  Let’s hope this gets enough signatures so Nintendo realizes there mistake.  $70 (USD) was already bad enough but $80 (USD) is just too much.  I want to play them myself - $450 for just the console is not a bad price and the games they revealed look amazing, but with the economy not doing so hot and them probably not worth that price, they need to be cheaper. Plus, Sony and Microsoft might see that Nintendo charges $80 (USD) for their games and follow in their footsteps, which we cannot let happen.
