The Nintendo Switch 2 and its games are expensive. Mario Kart World will cost an eye-watering $90 for a physical copy in America, $80 if you go the digital route. Multiple first-party games are already being slapped with an $80 or $70 price tag, including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Switch 2 Edition, Mario Party Jamboree Switch 2 Edition, and Donkey Kong Bananza. Even third party, AA games like Dameon x Machina: Titanic Scion – a sequel to a mediocre, often forgotten game – will be $70. Switch 1 games will be playable on the Switch 2, some even getting upgrades… which you have to pay extra for. Physical releases of Switch 1 games on Switch 2 will just be Switch 1 cartridges with a digital download for the Switch 2 version.
