https://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/en/2026/260508.htmlSwitch 2 getting price hikes across the board in all regions. NSO and Hanafuda/Kabufuda Cards prices also increased
A small price to pay for Israel's security
>NINTENDO WON'T INCREASE THE PRIC-ACK
> $50oh no
They'll just print slightly more pokemon cards to offset.
>>738452251>just a measley $50Yaaawn... this is literally nothing unless you're a poor third worlder. I pay way more for dinner.
>europe only +30 euros when the system already sells under MSRP in many placeI'll survive
Games are miraculously getting cheaper so this is offset as soon as you get two or three compared to launch.
>couldn't even delay it for the hardware revisiongrim
>>738452251What are you, poor?
>>738455031they'll raise the price again when the oled version launches
>>738453746>>738453897>>738454356>>738455058>it's ok when nintendaddy rapes my assYou're not even trying to hide the fact that this is Nintendo cultist board
>we reached a point where electronics somehow get more expensive over timeKeep your consoles in oak barrels, that shit ages better than wine apparently.
>>738455308at least they give us plenty of runway to make a decision instead of saying "hey the console is gonna be $200 more expensive in a week. buy it now! :D" still sucks to have prices increase at all, but either way.
>>738455031the hardware revisions will get the $50 price bump too. this increases the price of the 2 lite and 2 oled.
Eternal reminder that you voted for this.
>>738455616How can we vote to gatekeep even more poors from playing video games?
>>738452251>He didn't skip out on buying the Switch 1, so he could buy the switch 2 day 1 Oh no no no no no. Have fun paying premium, nerds.
>>738455541that would be the strategybump the launch price before even revealing the launch price
>>738455641elect netanyahu after trump's fourth term is over
>>738452251> NSO and Hanafuda/Kabufuda Cards prices also increasedI only see japan NSO going up are the other regions gonna too
>>738455893Maybe eventually, if it happens it might be right before Wind/Waves where the Pokemon hype drowns out the backlash.
>>738455641>make yourself poorer as well to own the poorsSmartest MIGA voter
>>738453746It fucking DOUBLED in price in nipland? The hell happened over there?
>>738456121Let's not kid ourselves if there was a monthly internet fee to not have to deal with poors and third worlders online, a lot of people would gladly pay for that.That's how the internet used to be, it was gatekeep by costs so it was all college students and people that were upper middle class or rich. That's why the internet used to be so good, the quality of person on it was higher.
>>738455308seething tranny
>>738452251>Nintendo is also raising the price for online in Japan and soon KoreaWhy the fuck are they raising subscription prices? How does oil supplies and RAM affect any of that?
>>738456248it's mostly just shareholders being more brazen with their short term extraction strategy in a struggling region
>>738456248They raised it the most in Japan because they know it's where they can get away with it the most.
>>738456509The cool thing about having a monopoly in a country means that you can do whatever you want and people will still fork over cash.
>>738452251>drops the price by $50 (still overpriced)>raises it back up a few months laterI won't do business with a company that moves like this. It's amateurish and seems like they're just desperately doing whatever
>>738455616Yes we should have voted for Kamala Harris the drunk because that surely would have maintained the status quo
>>738456748The $50 off sales were done by retailers, not Nintendo themselves. That was retailers clearing stock after units did move as much as expected during Black Friday. It was amazing for consumers though, $450 for the Mario Kart World bundle that will soon cost $580 is nuts.
>>738456509Where the fuck have you been for the past 6 years? Japanese yen has been in steady free fall, the only reason why the country hasn't experienced a massive depression yet is because the Japanese government has been subsidizing the shit out of domestic goods.
>>738456248pretty much every country outside of north america and Europe suffer from a case of monopoly money
>>738452251>NSO price increaseDefend that shit
>>738452251Your last thread immediately got hijacked with /pol/shit
>>738457130In Japan.Nintendo was eating the costs of weak yen for a year. The promotion is over now.
>>738457264>subhumans are unironically defending itCattle will be cattle
>>738456845Yes and yes.
I was gonna make a joke about how tendies will defend it but fuck, they actually ARE defending it. They will genuinely defend absolutely everything Nintendo does, no exceptions. The best part here is Nintendo never does price cuts anymore as part of their “respect the value” bullshit so when component costs come down the switch 2 will actually end up costing more than the next gen consoles most likely. These people are also so braindead they think criticizing ANYTHING Nintendo does means you’re either a grifter or you’re a Sony fanboy, you have to worship the brand or you lose the right to say you like their games.I have to go to work soon so I’ll just get the guaranteed replies out of the way. Blah blah blah something snoy, something something saaros and something about how Nintendo is posting sales figures. Okay have fun.
>>738455308telling everybody you meet that they are cultists for weird random reasons doesn't have the effect you think.
>>738455481>wtf monopoly is LE BAD ???!!!!?????
You will be priced out of all hobbies except for watching AI generated short form videos and gambling.You will own nothing, and you will be happy.
>>738456509What electricity and what components do you think Nintendo is using to maintain their servers, tyrone?
>>738455481Xbox is dead, Sony and Nintendo are in their own markets. Welcome to having no competition.
>>738453746A perfect proof that their strategy to discount after a price hike is a complete scam. I can't believe how many people fall for this.
>>738457565How can so many companies in the same product category have a monopoly? I guess because Valve only makes controllers, Nintendo only makes games, and Sony only makes mistakes?
No famitsu thread this week?
>tendies were frothing at the mouth that Sony dared to raise their console’s price after 5 years on the market>but it’s okay when their friends raise the price of their >1 year old consoleLmao called it
>>738453746DELET THIS!
>ps5 +200 euro price increase is rolled out>y.y.you will see everybody will do it! >switch2 increase is announced (in 4 months) and it's just 30 eurosO am I laughing
>>738457832Nintendo would be the last company to ever consider raising their console price, especially this early which means the situation must be really bad for Sony too. At this point, I can't imagine the PS6 being cheaper than $900, no matter how well they manage supply chain.
>>738457632Of course they'll be happy, they voted for this
>>738456248Their consoles get bought out by Asians from other countries. It's the Japanese being petty about it.
>>738457832Before this they were defending Nintendo raising the price of the Switch 1 because "at least they didn't raise the price of the Switch 2". Well congrats, Nintendo is the first company to raise the price of their old console AND their new console in the same year.
>>738457832snoy raised the price 5 times and raised the price of psn multiple times.
>>738456875>$450 for a straight line simulator machine
>>738458641>I don't play games, let me yell this epic youtube short meme I found
>>738458715calm down tendie, you have a new kid's movie to watch soon!
>>738457790Last week was Golden Week, so no sales reports
>>738458525Yes, they managed to push back the increase by 18 months instead of going on a price hike spree like Sony >old console AND their new console in the same year.I know you live in delulu world where nothing has rhyme or reason, but 2025 and 2026 are not the same year.
>>738459307It happened within the span of a year, aka it was less than a year since the Switch 1 price hike. Cool calendar cope!
>>738457832>>tendies were frothing at the mouth that Sony dared to raise their console’s price after 5 years on the market?????
>>738453278I can't wait for the complete collapse of global shipping. You fags have no idea how bad it's going to get.
>wait so prices go down>they go up instead
It's all Sony's fault.
>>738457832This.
>>7384562486 years ago, JPY was still somewhat comparable to USD. Not really the case anymore.
>>738460353Already got all my games/hardware in though. I didn't wait lol
I fucking called it months ago, the special Japan-only S2 (or at least its absurdly low pricetag) would be the FIRST thing to get gutted the instant Nintendo feels any fiscal pressure. I'm 100% certain the S2 will still lead the pack in Japan, but the absurd rate it's enjoyed recently won't last much longer and will probably go down to where the Switch 1 was (which was still strong).
>>738452251500 dollars for a underpowered tabletlmao
>>738459654You said "the same year" which isn't true. Learn English.
>>738463379It didn't have an absurdly low price tag in Japan. It was an equivalent of $500 for Japanese people.If they went with currency exchange rates it would be priced as id you were asked to pay $700.
>>738463448It is within the same year, you're just grasping at straws with the most pedantic and semantic take possible. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt of taking an uncharitable position to defend the company instead of you being so dumb that you're unable to fathom the passage of time.Or to use a fairly retard proof example: The first year of the Switch 2 didn't end on December 31st at 11:59.
>>738460889Oh my god we're about to get a whole bunch of nippy meltdown kino over them no longer getting special treatment for systems, aren't we?
>>738463803you are reading AI generated content, this is not real, wake up
>>738457714In current decade you don't need a monopoly to see prices soar. See: GPU and memory prices.
>>738463857https://x.com/i/status/2052649620359254240
>>738456845So funny America has a 2 party system and calls itself a democracy. Not just a democracy but the world leader of democracy even.
>>738463993yes, it's x.com. You are reading generated content. it's AI running on AI.
>>738463984Nvidia makes up 90% of gpu sales.
>>738463993> he fell for AI
>>738455481Indeed. Take care of your shit while the goyim submit to renting everything.
I got mine with 20% off gift cards for $360. I can't imagine why everyone who even has a slight interested in Nintendo didn't do this on Black Friday. It was obvious the price was going up. There will never be a better deal.
>>738457832>PS5 gets a 20% price hike with 2 weeks of warning>this is bad>Switch 2 gets a 10% price hike with 4 months of warning>this is less badyes
>>738457832>Sony did something much worse but you need to be at least as angry at Nintendo!!!???
MAGAts voted for this. Bunch of dumb retarded low IQ faggots.
>>738464203>and calls itself a democracyNot as funny as retarded thirdies thinking anyone who isn’t completely left-poisoned believes this. Contrary to what democraps scream, American has never been a “democracy.” It’s a constitutional republic that uses a democratic process for voting.
>>738452251Being Canadian is literally hell on earth. Same wages as American's but everything cost 33% more.
>>738456280Balem corpos for bringing cheap mobile networks to third world retards so line could go up more.It should be fucking illegal for a third world slum baby to interact with me, fucking disgusting.
>got mine last year because I knew this shit would happen just like with all electronics across multiple industriesCalled it
>>738466620yep we're just another economically conservative hellholefive corporations in a trenchcoat looting our national resources and fleecing us on everything
Man, I'm kinda glad I got my 'eck for $330 a few years ago.Seems like the days of cheap handhelds are behind us thanks to the AIpocalypse.
>>738463584You’ve been using this cope for a fucking year and it’s gotten no traction lmao
>effective September 1stwe have time
>Hanafuda/Kabufuda Cards prices also increasedWhat the actual fuck. They still sell those?!
>>738452251Why are you so mad at the prices? Those AI fruits vids are hilarious
>Hanafuda/Kabufuda CardsThey still make those?
>>738452251>Hanafuda/Kabufuda Cards omg they still builded those ?! ?
>>738455616I voted for nintendo stock holders to be even more jewish?
>>738468981>>738469086Hanafuda might not be AS popular as it was back in 1889 when Nintendo opened, but it's still pretty popular
>>738469502Do they, like, put Nintendo characters on them now?
>>738469541yeah https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/hanafuda-cards-mario-red-119579/
>>738460353Just go around the Cape like the good ol days.Can't wait for Egypt to declare war on Iran for starving their economy of Suez Canal tolls.
>>738463803It sucks for them, but it was bullshit how they were making everyone else eat the price. We'll see what this does to the overall sales soon.T. Half nip
>>738452251Nintendeen and Eric won so fucking hard lol
>>738470597>Nintendeen and Eric won so fucking hard lolThe dog dick sucking contest
>>738470681Your mom lol
>>738457632>priced outvideogames are one of the cheapest hobby you can have lmao, you only have to save for a new console every 7-8 years. Try not being bad with money
>>738470597I cant wait to see the deen vid on it he was callimg this shit for a while
>>738455616Unironically what even is Trumps/Republicans plan? Its like he goes out of his way to make everything more expensive, he says America first but i dont remember another president who so blatantly just made things worse on purpose.
>Your mom lol
>>738471217Lol it's not a left vs right thing. Some of you are so caught up on politics that it's quite sad. The system was always going to launch at 450-500, and the market share jews were always going to demand a price increase. Going "saaaar drump!" Is just retarded
>>738452251What's the new jp price?
>>738471217Trump doesn't give a rats ass about the public and never has. This is all solely so he and his other rich corporation-owning buddies can get richer and fatter.
>>738472107¥59,980, this is for the JP language-only version, the international version is unchanged
>>738455616Europe is America?
>>738469916That's true. Fuck those welfare babies.
>>738463857Anon...I don't know how to tell you this...
>>738471217Eh, my stocks have been in the green since he's been in office so its not my problem.Thanks for the dip last year, orange man.
>>738471217He's just doing shit to make money for himself and his family. Yeah it's not right vs left but rightoids are so fucking stupid that they thought putting a guy in office that also has easy access to insider trading was a good idea. He did this shit during his first term too.
>>738457319get a job that pays better them, nigger.
>deen was right againHe really never misses huh?
>>738473092If that's the case, why aren't you following in his footsteps.Literally easy money.
>>738473195didn't this guy say 100 times they can't afford to increase the price because it was already selling poorly at $450? He never said they were increasing the price
>>738473547>He never said they were increasing the price
>>738463765You said THE SAME year. It wasn’t the same year.Try “within one year”, or “in 12 months” next time.This concludes my English lesson, Pedro.Also, funny how you latched onto this irrelevant point because you had no ground to argue anything else.
>>738473676This is just him reading the articles that say Nintendo is under pressure to increase prices from shareholders. He has like at least 5 videos where he says they won't increase the price because they can't afford to
>>738452251Are there any bundles out before September? Was hoping there'd be one for Fire Emblem, but I guess not
>>738473981Pokopia is getting a bundle soon, but I don't remember exactly when.
>>738473720Are you unable infer meanings from words in sentences due to being an ESL that's projecting your inability to read English sentences properly onto others or are you so cripplingly autistic that you can't have a casual conversation?Nintendo released DKB and Pokopia in the same launch year, there was nothing wrong with that phrasing.
>>738473195>He really never misses huh?The same retard that claimed the switch 2 wasn't going to get passed 30m on lifetime sales yet the switch 2 already sold almost 20M in less than a year. Maybe don't suck his dick too hard
Are we in the worst gaming generation ever? Consoles barely have noteworthy exclusives, prices keep going up, developers hate their audiences, and whitey is on the moon.
>>738474932I'm more annoyed of the people who keep buying overpriced consoles and games.Gamecube was only 99$ burger bucks back in the day for a reason.
>>738473320I don't have the same insider information as the president and his family
>>738453746bold of all 3 fags to raise prices when neither has games
