Nintendo Switch 2 Is a Confusing, Overpriced Mess

The Nintendo Switch 2 is shaping up to be one confusing, overpriced mess—and gamers are fed up. With a $449.99 base price and an $80 Mario Kart World launch title, Nintendo fans are wondering what the hell is going on. Add in newly announced tariffs from the Trump administration, a delayed U.S. pre-order launch, and vague corporate speak from Doug Bowser and Bill Trinen, and you've got a launch that's already off the rails before it's even begun.

In this video, we break down everything you need to know about the Nintendo Switch 2 launch: from the ridiculous pricing model, to the tariff fallout, to the corporate PR spin trying to convince us this is all “for the value.” We also talk about Nintendo’s bizarre decision to hold back pre-orders in the U.S., the shaky state of physical media, why Mario Kart World is now the most expensive first-party title ever, and what it all means for gamers.
