Nintendo Announces Cheaper Switch 2 Model for Japan With Restrictions to Stop Foreign Buyers

Well, if Switch 2 has any hope of competing with Steam Deck to be a catalog system (i.e. a system people buy as a portable/handheld way to play a lot of older games they have already played), older games will have to be cheaper. On Steam Deck basically everyone who has done any PC gaming in the last 18 years already has a built in library (and frequent opportunities to get games for cheap), so it will be hard to compete with that if older games launch at $60-90 on Switch 2.
