The price hikes have come for the last remaining current-gen console, as Nintendo has just announced that it'll make the Switch 2 more expensive in various regions around the world.

Long-time gamers know all too well that Nintendo has a rather unique policy when it comes to discounts for its exclusive games: they rarely, if ever, exist. Most of the time, you'll see Nintendo titles keeping their full price even years after their release, whereas every other platform, be it other consoles from Sony and Microsoft or PC itself, applies regular discounts for even the biggest games some time after their original launch. Former Nintendo of America president and CEO Reggie Fils-Aimé provided his own explanation for why that's the case. In a recent talk with games analyst Joost Van […]
