Switch 2: Storage Issues and Backward Compatibility
A little bit more about the Switch 2? Sure why not?

First thing. I've mentioned this on social media, and I want to spread the word as much as I can about it, because this is going to catch people by surprise, and this way as many will find out about it going in as possible. In addition to cost

Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders have been delayed in the U.S. beyond the originally intended April 9 start date.

In a statement sent to U.S. media outlets, Nintendo said the delay has been made “in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions.”

Canada unchanged, for now. #Switch2

MobileSyrup · Nintendo delays Switch 2 U.S. pre-orders due to tariffs, Canada unchanged for nowNintendo says that these changes only apply to the U.S. and Canada's pre-orders are still set to start on April 9.

Okay, I know the Switch 2 is unjustifiably and prohibitively expensive and I should not buy one (new). In no way is buying a Switch 2 at launch price praxis. It does not aline with my values.

And yet, I think I play enough Mario Kart with comrades to call it an investment in community infrastructure. And If I give the OLED Switch (I never got the original) to a friend, does that offset the ethics of this? Probably not. Also, oh god, the mining and manufacturing...

Some napkin math: analysts at launch claimed Switch 1 cost $257 to make and sold for $299. If that ratio holds, Switch 2 would cost around $387 to make. Vietnam's tariff rate is 46%.

This will add ~$176 of tariff tax, or around $620 total.

A vote for Trump was a vote for this tax. wired.com/story/nintendo-delay

Nintendo really went all in on anti-scalper measures and I applaud that. You can't even import or buy the multi-language Japanese Switch 2 edition while traveling in Japan. And at 69.980 ¥ or it wouldn't be worth it anyway.

Summary: The multilingual Nintendo Switch 2 console will be available exclusively from My Nintendo Store via lottery - if you are eligible. Only people with a Nintendo Account whose "Country/Region" is set to Japan, in addition, you must have played at least 50 hours of Nintendo Switch software (excluding trial and free software) as of Friday, February 28, 2025. Must have been a Nintendo Switch Online member for a cumulative total of at least one year at the time of entry and still be a member at the time of entry.
