@Emily@mastodon.de„Demnach äußerte sich Takuhiro Dohta aus der Abteilung für Unterhaltungsplanung und -entwicklung bei Nintendo zu diesem Thema folgendermaßen:
‚Ich wollte ein Erlebnis schaffen, das von möglichst vielen Spielern genossen werden kann, anstatt eines, das ausschließlich für diejenigen gemacht ist, die leistungsstarke Hardware bevorzugen.‘“
Klar, Mausi, die Switch 2 kostet ja nur 470€, aber klar, „ein Erlebnis, das von möglichst vielen Spielern genossen werden kann.“

A little bit more about the Switch 2? Sure why not?
First thing. I've mentioned this on social media, and I want to spread the word as much as I can about it, because this is going to catch people by surprise, and this way as many will find out about it going in as possible. In addition to cost

WinFuture.de · Switch 2: Fans reagieren mit Trump-Memes auf Pre-Order-Verschiebung
@darrenmorin@mstdn.caNintendo Switch 2 pre-orders have been delayed in the U.S. beyond the originally intended April 9 start date.
In a statement sent to U.S. media outlets, Nintendo said the delay has been made “in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions.”
Canada unchanged, for now. #Switch2

Breaking Switch 2 News!!!!
Some napkin math: analysts at launch claimed Switch 1 cost $257 to make and sold for $299. If that ratio holds, Switch 2 would cost around $387 to make. Vietnam's tariff rate is 46%.
This will add ~$176 of tariff tax, or around $620 total.
A vote for Trump was a vote for this tax. https://www.wired.com/story/nintendo-delays-switch-2-pre-orders-over-trump-tariffs/
WIRED · Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Preorders Thanks to Trump’s Tariffs
@chris@mstdn.gamesNintendo really went all in on anti-scalper measures and I applaud that. You can't even import or buy the multi-language Japanese Switch 2 edition while traveling in Japan. And at 69.980 ¥ or it wouldn't be worth it anyway.
Summary: The multilingual Nintendo Switch 2 console will be available exclusively from My Nintendo Store via lottery - if you are eligible. Only people with a Nintendo Account whose "Country/Region" is set to Japan, in addition, you must have played at least 50 hours of Nintendo Switch software (excluding trial and free software) as of Friday, February 28, 2025. Must have been a Nintendo Switch Online member for a cumulative total of at least one year at the time of entry and still be a member at the time of entry.

WinFuture.de · Pech für US-Fans: Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Order wegen Trump später
Trump just pissed off gamers. Funny how fast “anti-woke” fades when your wallet’s on the line. Would you rather see pronouns in bios or not be able to afford a Switch 2? Tariffs are about to hit hard.

Kotaku · Nintendo Halts Switch 2 Pre-Orders Over Trump's Tariffs
So hab ich die #nintendo #Switch2 also im Bündel vorbestellt. Ja, teuer, #unplugtrump dürfte da großen Anteil haben, aber auf voraussichtlich fünf Jahre wenigstens gerechnet ist das auch nur am Anfang teuer. 
Und im bundle ist #MarioKartWorld halt auch keine 80€ teuer, sondern nur die Hälfte.
In 1998, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was released for $59.99. Today, adjusted for inflation, that same game would cost $117.
We don't realize how good we've had it for the last 2 decades when it comes to game prices. #Switch2
Switch 2 pre-orders no longer going live April 9th, Nintendo to "assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions":
But at what cost?
