No OLED and $80 price for physical games. Huge pass.

Doesnt feel like a next generation system. This is what the oled revision should have been.

Pretty disappointed by today's information. Feels like Nintendo nickel and diming just because they can. The game prices are absurd.

I'll be watching for sales here more than ever if the base price of a game is $80. PS5 just went to $70 recently.... Wtf Nintendo??

Me and you both. $90 for a physical copy of Mario Kart is absurd, they're also charging for a interactive demo / introduction to the console. Something Steam Deck and even Sony gave away for free.

Also, battery life is as low as 2 hours.

The value in getting gen 1 is the possibility for easy CFW loopholes that get closed down the line.

Did Mr. Nintendo eat some Super Mario mushrooms before he priced these $80 games and consoles?

Not to mention many physical copies of games, such as the new Mario Kart World, will not actually contain the game but a license key to download the game.

You're paying $90 for a license key on a physical cart that still requires Internet to download the game.

Absolute lunacy. 🤡
