Leaked price: $400 Release date: September, 2024 You’re welcome EDIT: I hear all of you. I hate people who waste my time with watchbait/clickbait, when instead they could just tell me what I need to know then finish off with whatever else they want to talk about.
It’s especially painful with how little Nintendo games are discounted. Any price increase risks pricing people out completely. Just waiting for a sale isn’t really an option.
I mean games have been $60 for ages. Even in 2012. Which $60 2012 is $80 now. Games technically were getting cheaper for years. I just hope your wages increased over 12 year 😅
@@gmdflamey it feels like AGES ago, It was enough time for me to switch to a ps4, then to an Xbox One and finally I switched to PC like 3 years ago... it felt way more than just 7 years ago.
@@Nerdgasm0420 It's £50 cheaper than the XSX and £100 cheaper than a ps5 Only thing cheaper than that is an Xbox series S, but that barely out-powers an Xbox 1X For that £400 I'm kinda expecting steam deck level performance as that's the price of a steam deck.
@@Nerdgasm0420 No it's not. most consoles are sold at a loss. 400 is dirt cheap for a device that will last you 5+ years. it's like paying 100 dollars per year to own a device that will give you fake boosts of dopamine.

Ok So 350 for a Oled Switch and 50 dollars More Thee Switch2 With Minor Features 1080p Res on Handheld Mode AND 1440P When Docked Ahh That's not necessarily an Upgrade at all or Maybe it Will be at 1440p on Handheld Mode And Docked @ 4K Ain't Gonna Hurt More
@retrogaming4u865 im hoping for MUCH MUCH more power at 1080P handheld, an OLED screen (hopefully HDR). And then I have super cool Ideas for the dock. The dock can have 2 options. A normal dock that can support up to 4K (ill be happy with 1440p) but then there can be a Dock PRO that allows it to have console power with a GPU inside of it. Also, they should make it so that the "Dock Pro" doesn't cover the screen and you could play with all that extra power straight off the screen of the switch if you want to. 🤷🏽♂️💪🏽. Its a great idea, its 100% possible and it would ACTUALLY put them in the console war! I would perfer this over xbox or Playstation. Just want the Playstation games lol
Investors get Overly Greedy and want to see a big return quicker so they raise prices to please the investors plus make alittle in the process!! I mean if you came to me and said hey can you invest 50 million in this project (we made you $$$ before)sure but I wana see a return profit in 3-5 years or quicker, IDC if you to have sell a dlc for 40$ (lol) Pay Me!! ( yall know the saying).
70$ is perfectly reasonable to me If the game is entertaining enough, long enough, has enough content, and the story is good. 60$ also isn't that much. People pay 10$ for a 1 hour movie sometimes 2. At 60$ you're paying like 1$ an hour of entertainment.
Because it was nothing new lol Remote play was already a thing by then with Sonys PSvita and the PS3 Sony even had plans to execute it better by allowing you to start a game on the PS3 and resume it on the Vita provided you owned the game for both systems but only like 5 games managed to support that feature
Wii U is such an underrated console, it had more first parties that the switch has, you could control your TV with the gamepad, it had backwards compatibility with the wii. shame that it never went as popular as the overpriced piece of garbage nintendo switch is, which still prices Mario Oddysey (a game that came out 7 years ago) at $60
@@enriquedossantos3283 The gaming audience is much, MUCH bigger then it was back then. Game company’s make SO much more revenue then they ever have. This inflation excuse it total bullshit and you’ve fallen for it.
Some people pay way more than that when they buy "special editions" or buy skins and season pass or stuff like that, a lot of people pay hundreds of dollars, like the people who buy annually sports games, $60 dollars per year to play the same shit.
Imagine buying eldenring for 40€ and These stupid Low graphic short Playtime Games with absolute Zero mechanics compared to PC or console Games will BE priced 70. They Controller in the Switch are the biggest Joke i have ever Seen. Could be from temu. My girlfriend bought this Thing beides Mario Zelda and verry verw Games mostly old Games that came Out years before are good on the Switch everything Else Looks Like Shit psp Had much bettergames and felt mich better over all. They loadingtime was 100% faster and the system wasnt that laggy. That is in my oppinion Not even a Market place ITS all old Games badls copied or downgradet for the Switch . They Most Games are poorly optimized .IT Looks Like an Handy App Store 2700 Games and im Sure Not even 50 are Worth playing .
The industry already decided 70$ would be the baseline for any AAA releases what, two years ago? Be glad that it's September 2024 and the only game Nintendo has ever released for 70$ was the sequel to BOTW.
I think they mean a trailer will be released on sept 2024. If it was coming out that early they wouldve been throwing trailers down our throats since last year.
Not really the first Switch trailer was shown only 4-5 months before the Switch released and we still have like 7 months until September. Gotta remember they can’t announce it to early or people will stop buying the current one.
I’m sure digital games and saves in general will be transferred but if we’re talking about physical cart compatibility then here’s hoping because it would suck to pay 70 dollars for a game the year before a new system releases especially with a library that won’t be expanding until the next year after the new console.
I don't enjoy increasing prices...but I do find it humorous when people complain about game prices. Mario 64 for the Nintendo 64 was $60. I remember N64 games as being $60 as a kid. So game prices haven't gone up since 1996. Honestly it is nice that technology has improved and kept the prices from going up. But eventually they need to go up at some point...that's just reality....to complain about that seems quite silly.
@HyperHowie56 I said it before but my comment got deleted apparently. FF6 was 79.99 (Super Nintendo) in 1995 or whatever. Thats the equivalent to like $120 today. People don't understand history, or inflation for that matter
@@KainsAddiction @HyperHowie56 I should have factored in the inflation rate before commenting, but to clarify, I remember receiving Pokemon HeartGold at ~$40 on release (and maybe its also wrong of me to compare handheld vs full console games), but even so just seeing prices in the $70s, even if the value is actually the same, is a pretty shocking sight 😅
My one issue is the possibility they go all digital with it. Think about it, no other handheld being currently made has an option for physical games, and with digital consoles with disc drive addons (for example the ps5 slim)
@@king-shivamso what you’re saying is you’re running an illegal emulator for a 4 year old game on what is most likely a brand new phone (I’m guessing most likely the IPhone 15 billion or whatever the new android is) which has had 7 years more time than the Switch to improve, and you’re bragging about it, get a fucking life dude.
The price is 400 bucks. Your welcome. I hate when people do filler and say the thing at the very end lf the video. Edit: It's not like this is true. Because everyone says the same thing every year. I don't believe it unless Nintendo says it themselves.
Personally, I think people will start being more and more selective with game choices as prices go up. Gone are the days of owning more than one console as well. The reason Nintendo can't break the Market is because they don't have AAA titles the same way others do. And I own a lite.
Bro how would you rather have him make this short? Do you want him to just say "THE NEW SWITCH WILL BE 400$ THANKS BYE'" Its literally 60 seconds if you cant pay attention that long you need help man.
Unless the Switch 2 isn't coming until 2025 or 2026 (which I see as being a defenite possibility), I **could** see them releasing Switch 2 for $400 - $500. The current Switch is 7 years old and hasn't received a single price drop ever. Hell, the OLED is $350, which would only be $50 less than a $400 Switch 2.
You're not taking into account every other economic factor. Even taking into inflation, games were more AFFORDABLE for the average person then, because living expenses were objectively cheaper. People had extra money to spend. They don't now. I make $18.75/hr. I'm finding it extremely difficult to afford a home and I wont be moving from my parents house for at least a few years, as I have to save at least $30k for a down payment on an average home (while my gf has to also save $30k) all while I pay for rent, food, gas and other living expenses and avoiding debt. Do the math. Anyone saying games are cheaper probably doesn't have to pay these expenses. Your privilege is showing.
@@naraydaniels7832I think it’s 720p but either way the resolution isn’t the best and can be seen on games like BoTW and ToTK so it’ll be great seeing the games image look cleaner.
As a canadian, those prices hurt to hear. 620$ for a console with 90$ games (QC taxes are insane) is not affordable anymore. I'll stick to buying it in 5 or 6 years used with a bunch of games off marketplace...
Yeah, im gonna get a PS5, put a switch 2 emulator on it, and call it a day. No way am i buying an "iteration" of the switch when i can just get something with overall better games and more power. I wish they would let portable be portable and home consoles be home consoles. The hybrid idea was revolutionary and amazing, but you lose way too much power in favor of something nobody really cares about, being portability.
@@Miller2009I mean if you want that development company to keep making games like that then you should support them. I love piracy, I think it is genuinely an extremely important and useful tool. But if you like a game and you like the studio that made it, you need to support them financially. Even if you want to do a try before you buy, at least actually buy it officially after you pirate it if possible.
Bro last Nintendo console I bought was a wii. I have the early one with the GameCube controller and memory card ports. I hacked it years ago...its very simple. It plays...any Wii game...GameCube games. It is also a beast at emulation. All the old systems.. From Atari..to 64 and ps1 You can also use your Nintendo classic controllers as well.
@@dwaynethemineraljohnson412nigga nintendo exclusives are bangers not gonna lie for me its sad that the prices are going up is sad but it this what it is yk
You're not wrong there. But people will buy the Switch because of the first party games. I think in the past I was critical of Sony with their first party exclusives but for some reason I see it as a strength when Nintendo does it! I'm a hypocrite!

@@argenti3609 games go on sale rarely. The last time I saw any first party Nintendo game on sale was when super Mario movie went to home release any game with super Mario in the title was $29.99. Outside of Black Friday the Nintendo game never go on sale but it’s safe to say that even 20-50 million units sold there isn’t going to be a greatest hits line anytime soon for $20-30 as the new normal price on big sellers like in the Wii and cube days Or now on ps5.
See I was right Nintendo uses obsolete hardware jacks up the prices and games and we suffer the consequences. I'll just stick with my OLED model. Because Nintendo does not want to spend more money on something we can all enjoy. They do that in 4 years and jack up that 500 to 600. Nintendo does not have to use the industry standard of $70 games. It's just so full of crap because everybody else is following it. We better get a good pokémon game out of it.

@@HyperHowie56 I had a Gameboy advance. Games were only $35 or around that price at my local Kmart. Handheld games used to be cheaper than console games. Now they're the same price
@@HyperHowie56 Games were more affordable, as the average person had more disposable income. They do not have that privilege now. The key word is affordable, not "cheaper".
@@Benjamin-gu4fc considering the gaming industry revenue has gone up immensely since 1996, the average person is spending more on games per year now than they did back then. Also I remember everyone I knew getting much less quantity of games back in the 90s console era. Now people buy way more quantity of games. I don't think your claim is representative of reality. Holding the price of a mainline game at $60 from 1996 to 2024 and claiming that they are less affordable now is quite absurd.
@@HyperHowie56 Just because more games are purchased now does not necessarily mean people are spending more on games. Steam sales didn't exist then. A person now could buy 12 games for $60, but we're talking about AAA, physical games here. People are buying more games because there are more games to buy, and also, that doesn't mean that they should. The average person has more debt than ever before and most don't prioritize debt. I could buy 100 $60 games right now if I wanted. Doesn't mean I can afford it. I will give it to you that there is far more access to video games now and if you only buy digital, I would say yes, it is overall probably cheaper. But for the sake of the argument, we have to focus on AAA physical copies that can br regarded as capital. These, I believe, are less affordable than they were in the past when you take multiple economic factors into account.

@@Starborn3000 Totally understandable. I highly recommend checking out reviews / videos on any device before purchasing it.

@@darthtron128 many, many things. one being IPC (instructions per clock). processors are insanely complex, and there are many things that affect the performance. for an example my xeon e5-1620v3 is 3.5ghz, 4 cores, and it gets completely annihilated by a new i3 at a lower clock speed. they are being developed to do math more efficiently, have 2 threads in a core, also the amount of cache and the latency of cache will make it do stuff faster, and a million small things. i cant even begin to explain how they work cause logic gates are quite complex.
right now they can, like the ROG ally, sell the portable and put a more powerful GPU on the dock (and maybe extra RAM) of course the dock is gonna be sold separately
They need to cut it out with this handheld bullshit, it’s what really runs games down, 30 FPS gaming in 2024 is stupid, the switch can’t even handle a pyra up b kill screen
