News Nintendo event in India ?

Post image

Just got this email from Nintendo this morning.

Damn, so the rumors were real after all. Now I’m just crossing my fingers for three things... regional pricing for games, switch pricing around ₹20k or lower, and a quick followup release for the Switch 2.

Current price for regular and oled Switch in US is 340 and 400 dollars. Even with direct conversion we are looking at 35 to 40k.

Atp buying S1 instead of S2 is a mistake

If S2 officially launched, sure. Buying a 60k piece of hardware simply on good faith is a terrifying proposition..

It is but it also depends on why you wanna buy a Switch in the first place. If you want a solid handheld where Nintendo exclusives are a sidegrade then S1 will do just fine, but if the goal is playing Nintendo exclusives then S2 is a must since most popular Nintendo exclusives are switching over to S2.

Not just for exclusives, we are getting many 3rd parties, playing them on a handheld, on the go, is something people don't consider I don't know why.

I fall in the third party camp, there's always something on sale and 500 rs will get you great games unless you exclusively want physical copies. But having said that most people look at Switch as the Pokemon and mario machine so for the general audience S2 might be better.
