This a company charging for a tutorial, and giving you a button on your controller that you're going to have to pay to use in the future...I don't think you should give them that grace.

Tutorial game is $5, I'm happy they didn't bundle in the camera, I'd shove that shit in the bin.

Aspro you can pay for game upgrades to switch 2 editons but they are also updating a good swathe of games for free, including Mario Odyssey.

I don't understand why the digital prices are so expensive as tarriffs won't effect them?

Regarding switch 2, Nintendo shifted a lot of production from China to Vietnam to avoid tariffs. The initial batch of them are produced in Vietnam. And what did Trump just do? Slapped 34% tarriff on them.

As I said though, these digital AAA Nintendo games will come down to $47 with the standard Nintendo-33% discount they always do on the eshop.

So far we have several 4k games confirmed.

Metroid Prime 4 is 4k 60fps
Yakuza 0 is 4k 60fps
Tony Hawks remakes are 4k 60fps

So far Digital Foundry said they couldn't see any signs of DLSS. They must be using it though?

So weird thinking back with DF saying you wouldn't be seeing many 4k games, yet we already have 3. I think SF6 might be 4k too.

Guys go onto YouTube and search for "GVG Switch 2 impressions" they have in depth chats about all the stuff they played including many 3rd party games.

Another tidbits, we knew Switch 2 had VRR, but apparently it uses Nvidia Gsync.

Gsync ultimate is considered the best VRR solution from what i read.

Cyberpunk is aiming for a 40fps performance mode and a 30fps quality mode.

40FPS mode is useless when docked.  Not many TV's support 120Hz.  It could prove usefull in handheld play though.

I figured the tariffs weren't factored into Nintendo's current price.

Yay for tariffs! *starts organizing backlog* Nyaa

These tarrifs are nuts. First Trump tarrifs China so Nintendo moves production to Vietnam. Then Trump sicks a 34% tarrif on Vietnam.

Niko Partners director of research and insights said:

"While the company has shifted some of its manufacturing to Vietnam to offset US tariffs on China, the looming threat of reciprocal tariffs prior to the Switch 2 showcase will have also forced Nintendo to consider a higher price for the rest of the world. The reciprocal tariffs on Vietnam and Japan have come in higher than expected, and Nintendo will feel the impact of this if the tariffs go into full effect."

This sucks. It should have been a great time. We were supposed to be celebrating a new system and a bunch of fantastic games and now the whole thing is just a shitshow. sad

If anyone hasn't played Yakuza 0, you really should check it out. I think it's one of the best games I've played in a decade. Plus, there aren't a lot of other games that let you experience the sleazy side of Tokyo in the 1980s.
