Nintendo Announces Cheaper Switch 2 Model for Japan With Restrictions to Stop Foreign Buyers

Nintendo will sell a cheaper Switch 2 in Japan, but Nintendo is implementing safeguards to prevent foreign buyers from getting it.

which is crazy.

how about they do that for every country then? cause im cool with having either a emgkish only or german only option, if that means its 100 quid cheaper

It is nice they are doing this for their home country but I have a feeling $330-$350 should have been the real launch price.

Just shows you how much they make on a console.

some people are saying the high price is due to tariffs. my country didn't introduce new tariffs against japan, but still they charging it just as much as the US.

Grayson07662d ago (Edited 62d ago )

I totally get why people are upset about this, but we should keep in mind how popular mobile gaming is in Japan. The Switch is Japan's best-selling console, and domestic sales have always been a high priority for Nintendo. They're doing this to keep the market dominance in their home market, against mobile gaming, and other handhelds (they're probably keeping in mind the rumors of PS6 having a handheld component, idk). Still, does seem like Nintendo is being Nintendo and giving the shaft to other markets. Guess we'll see how it all plays out for them.

nice improvement to the clarity. Really makes everything look less blurry, especially in the distance.

really hope we see more free improvements like this on Switch 1 games.

First game I played on Switch 2. Much sharper and cleaner image compared to the original.

A lot of games that have no official Switch 2 update already run WAY better just from the hardware itself. It's fantastic getting to play all these games in a much better state. So glad I hardly played any of my Switch collection over the years, lol. This will make experiencing them for the first time so much better.
