@InvaderTAK @Wario64 A few other areas like UK and Japan have been doing it this way for a while

@Sensorplus @Wario64 *checks Nintendo's store* Huh, must've been a retailer thing.

Nintendo announces that starting in May 2026 (with Yoshi and the Mysterious Book), new Nintendo published digital titles exclusive to Switch 2 will have an MSRP that is different from physical versions nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/ab…

@Tinyboyyy @Wario64 Then why did physical stay the same?

@Wario64 Just say physical is being more expensive because of the cost of cartridge memory.

@InvaderTAK @Wario64 Not in the US

@Wario64 Weren't they already doing this? MK World and DK Bananza are already $10 cheaper digitally.

@NESKid85 @Wario64 Apparently not

@Wario64 Cool. That’s how it should be. Though I suspect instead of dropping the digital version by $10 they’re just increasing the price of the physical version by $10.

@thickwonga413 @Wario64 1st party games aren't key cards (unless you count pokopia)

@Wario64 expensive ahh cards, as long as they arent key cards, im okay with this

@feelthesarcasm @nihal_io @TheFonzPart @Wario64 But origally switch 2 games (like donkey bonanza) were $70. Now they're $60(at least this one). So that's $10 less profit compared to previous digital games. But if more people buy digital then yeah it could be worth it

@nihal_io @TheFonzPart @Wario64 They don't lose money by making digital cheaper. They get the full cut if you buy digital as opposed to physical. So in reality a $60 digital game gets them more money than a $70 physical game.

@pg66rhdbcq @NintyPrime 28 announced counting released and not yet released. About 13 of which have released

@NintyPrime How many exclusives does the Switch 2 have ?

To play games you can’t play on Switch 1. This concludes today’s Ted Talk,

@CasualGamer1231 @NintendoAmerica How do you play Mario kart, donkey kong and Kirby on other platforms?

When it’s dark and your TV turns on.

@DrewLMG @nin10doland Never would be on a Friday in the US since thats a Saturday in japan

@nin10doland Thursday or Friday would be perfect...

I feel like Nintendo never has Directs during the times that feel perfect for one. Splatoon Raiders, FE Fortune's Weave, Yoshi and Rhythm Heaven all need info so that easily fills out most of the show. Add some Mario Kart World updates, Zelda anniversary news and 1 or 2 big game announcements, this could easily be one of their best directs in a LONG time. Hopefully one is soon!

@insanekrishnaa @Wario64 People who want to play it on the go, or who(like me) don't own other consoles

@Wario64 artner showcases are fine, but stop dodging a proper Direct. Who actually turns on a Nintendo system for non-Nintendo titles?

Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase confirmed for Feb 5th, 6 AM PT

@shawaun1993 @Wario64 When i clicked on the link for tv it wasn't sold but was more expensive

@Sensorplus @Wario64 False

TCL - 75" Class S5-Series 4K UHD LED Smart Google TV (2024) is $349.99 on Best Buy Drops/mobile app buff.ly/jWIR55o #ad

@TheQMX @flyingmantis76 @NexusoftheRealm @Wario64 Is that not already in the switch 1 version?

@flyingmantis76 @Sensorplus @NexusoftheRealm @Wario64 you also get 60fps

Mario Wonder Upgrade Pack is $19.99

@brewofcalamity @Wario64 Partner

@Wario64 is Monolith Soft considered a partner or in-house?

VGC corroborates report that Nintendo Direct Partner is taking place on February 5 (originally reported by GameXplain and NatetheHate) videogameschronicle.com/news/a-nintend…

@artofnanobit @Wario64 Partner directs are usually a focus on 3rd party games with a couple first party announcements

@Wario64 Sounds Nintendo not ready to show anything new yet. Need more time to cook I guess.

@scorbunnydream @Wario64 Nintendos Twitter page

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie - Nintendo Direct announced for January 25th, 6 AM PT

@1Corinthian1613 @Wario64 It's not like this is the first time it was $20

@Wario64 I thought upgrade packs were $10? Guess that was a bad assumption they would maintain that direction

@NexusoftheRealm @Wario64 Animal crossing was $5. Zelda botw and totk was $10

@Wario64 Idk why anyone is surprised lol. Every time they add an expansion, its always $20 more.

@deadrumbear @Wario64 Google doesn't have the most up to date info then
