Select EU Retailers Are Abandoning Nintendo's Suggested Retail Price For Switch 2 Games

Nintendo Life: "As brought to our attention by the wonderful Jon Cartwright on BlueSky, some EU listings for upcoming Switch 2 titles are already appearing as low as €60 — a €20 drop on Nintendo's suggestion. French retailer CDiscount has copies of Donkey Kong Bananza up for pre-order for €59.90, and regional Amazon listings for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition can be found at the same price."

this wont work for long tho.
cause retailers need to make profits too and if they sell these games at a loss,this will not fly for long.

this is pure pr work.

Bollocks. This is the way it’s been throughout the Switch 1’s lifecycle in the UK. Argos, Sainsbury’s or Tescos have always undercut the RRP from Nintendo, no reason to expect it won’t be the same for Switch 2.

Edit : Just checked and TOTK is £59.99 at Nintendo and £44.99 at Argos :)

Only select retailers.. i hope it spreads out prior to release with an official statement from Nintendo. They risk breaking their teeth in case they remain so stubborn.

Agree same thing happens frequently in Australia with most major retailers engaging in a price war always out to beat Amazon

Yeah, it's always been this way over here. Supermarkets like Sainsburys and Tesco generally don't mind as they see cheaper games as a lucrative way to encourage shoppers to do their regular shopping at the stores to make the profits. It's why I'll never embrace a digital only console as there is just so much money to be saved with physical media.

Maybe they(Nintendough) want only USA to be screwed in the ass?

It’s Trump that’s screwing the USA not Nintendo.
