  • he expressed dissatisfaction with the Wii port, referring to it as not being ‘original.’

    Assuming we aren’t missing some nuisance in the translation I don’t think I agree with this interpretation. The “port” is not the “original”, that’s just a statement of fact. No dissatisfaction is implied.

    As for the recommendation to play the port that runs on modern hardware, well yeah most people don’t have the hardware to play the pre-HD versions at their best.












  • I agree, but I can’t see them pricing the launch model of the new gen lower than the previous gen models.

    Of course they could drop the price of the Switch one models to maintain a price ladder.

    But the inflation adjusted launch price of the Switch 1 from 2017 is equivalent to au$587.26 in 2024, so the Switch 2 looks like it would fit pretty nicely placed just above the current prices.


  • The Switch 1 OLED is currently retailing at au$540 here so I would expect the new gen to round up to au$600.

    • It would place it under a PS5 digital (au$680) and Series X (au$800) positioning it as an affordable mainstream console.
    • It would leave the existing Switch 1 product lines competing with Series S (au$500) for the more budget conscious.
    • Of course the PS5 Pro (au$1200) is doing its own thing.
