I’m totally fine with the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 console. $450 seems like a reasonable price for a new gaming system.

However the price of everything else is an issue. Nobody wants to pay $80-$90 USD for a new game. Even with all new features, nothing in that Direct screams $80. An extra pair of Joy Cons is $90?!?!?! The console manual isn’t free and having to pay extra to upgrade old games even if you have them in your library is ridiculous.

Overall the announcement of the prices is killing the hype people are having.

Edit: Thanks for all of the engagement and the upvotes!! Personally I think I’ll wait for it on sale or wait for Nintendo to release a Switch 2 lite version.

Edit2: I now know that the whole $80-$90 price range isn’t for USD my apologies

Winners posted at the bottom edit!

Hello everyone! This past week we've had 2 giveaways and seven Switch Lites + games given away to seven lucky winners! We are going to finish off this series with a bang.

In this last giveaway, 12 lucky winners will be receiving a Switch Lite and their choice of game!

In the first giveaway, the prompt focused on things going on in our lives right now.

In the second giveaway, the prompt focused on things from our past.

This final giveaway is about the future. To enter, please leave a comment on something you are looking forward to doing once social distancing starts easing up and why.

The winners will be randomly selected in 30 hours, at 6 pm Sunday, April 26th EST.

I can only ship to USA or Canada, and the game must be available for purchase on Amazon for $60 or less, either as a physical copy or digital e-shop code.

Good luck to everyone! Take care of yourself, your loved ones, and especially take care of those you don't know. We're all in this together!

Edit: As with the other giveaways, I encourage everyone to not only leave a comment but to read some and have a conversation with a stranger!

Edit:

A lot of people have been asking me what I am most looking forward to as social distancing starts easing up. Like many of you, I am also looking forward to seeing family, friends, and going out once more. But ultimately what I’m hoping for and looking forward to is seeing more of what tens of thousands of you have expressed in the comments over this past week: more kindness, more love, and more compassion in the world.

Our twelve lucky winners are:

1. u/cooldash

2. u/matt_the_greg

3. u/Cintonecrun

4. u/ninetailedmachine

5. u/caringcoconut

6. u/baalthazar__

7. u/zombie_in_a_box

8. u/Twohandsmatt

9. u/HollowButter

10. u/fritti

11. u/WongInitiative

12. u/DreaDaSheez

Congratulations to all of you, I’ll be in touch shortly! If you are not on the above list and did not receive a direct message from me, I am sorry to say that you may have received a fake message stating that you are a winner.

I thank each and every one of you for taking the time to self-reflect a bit and engaging with my prompts. It has brought me as well as a lot of other reddit users a lot of joy to read.

And once again, a huge thank you to the mods of r/nintendo without whom none of this would have been possible.

Take care of one another. Please give all of your parents, grandparents, children, wives, husbands, fiancées, fiancés, boyfriends, girlfriends, SOs, friends, and anyone else in your life an extra hug for me the next time you can see them. And make sure your dog gets an extra belly rub. I think our cats are tired of us though :) I’ll see you on the other side of this!

Winner(s) posted at the bottom edit!

Hi everyone, hope everyone is safe and well. As rough as these past several weeks/months have been on all of us, I'm also constantly inspired by all of the amazing acts and words of kindness that I've seen not only in my own, personal social circle, but the world at large as well.

I would like to do my part, and I'm giving away a brand new Nintendo Switch Lite and your choice of a single game to one lucky winner!

To enter, leave a comment on something positive, however small, that happened to you in the past month. The winner will be randomly selected in 24 hours, at 12 pm Sunday, April 19th EST.

I can only ship to USA or Canada, and the game must be available for purchase on Amazon for $60 or less, either as a physical copy or digital e-shop code.

Good luck, and enjoy your weekend in whatever capacity you can!

Edit: I'm genuinely trying to read all of these/as many as I can. These are all wonderful stories and moments. Thanks for sharing.

Edit: If anyone is looking for a pick me up, I'd encourage you to spend 5-10 minutes reading through some of the comments (as well as leaving your own comment). Start a conversation with a stranger. Make someone else's day :)

Edit:

I am overwhelmed by all of the moments and stories that were shared on this post. I’ve spent the better part of the past 24 hours (minus sleeping) reading, commenting, and chatting with complete strangers. I have gone through thousands of comments, and it has absolutely made my weekend! I wish I could have read everyone’s comment, but I never expected this to blow up the way it did.

While everyone’s story/comment was of course different in some way, there were some very prevalent themes throughout the comments: family, friends, love, community, reconnections, learning, and of course happiness. I hope everyone is able to hold on to whatever is helping get them through this pandemic. I handpicked a few of my favorites from what I read if anyone else is interested.

The random winner of a Switch Lite and game is u/feyreaver! Please also get in touch with u/GB_CySec who has graciously agreed to give you a spot on their Nintendo Online family plan!

I’ve also decided to give away a second Switch Lite and game to one of my favorite comments, which wasn’t an easy task by any means. So this second Switch and game is going to u/eastaccwill whose story is the "Community" one linked above.

Shoutout to u/ahoraesnunca who promised to only watch Scott’s Tots during quarantine if they didn’t win.

Even if you didn’t win, I hope you were able to take something positive away from this thread. I wish I could give everyone who left a nice comment a Switch Lite! While I can’t do that, please stay tuned. There are some more surprises coming.
