This year, we will have a special event in the universe Nintendo Just like the arrival of a new machine. Switch 2This will be called, it is certain that we will be a little more expensive, the equipment and cartridges and digital downloads, at least if we take care of what has been filtered in recent weeks around the stores where prices are already reported with a pliers above the current for the first generation.
NOW, Nintendo He currently has two options: o already download the prices of the games, before the arrival of Switch 2, To be able to say that “we have not touched anything”, or wait for the new machine to be in stores and will differentiate us with the cost of what is worth a game of each generation. Although if we look at markets such as Mexico, the thing can opt for the first option: we come a climb before the arrival of the new console.
Increase in game prices in Nintendo Switch?
What threw in Mexico is that the price of games has increased in some of the titles that are sold through the eshopin such a way that everyone has practically inflated to the same amount. These costs have increased in the same way for all categories, with around 200 pesos, that is to say a little more than 9 dollars. More specifically, 9.20 when writing these lines. And of course, we quickly understood that the same thing like this is launched very soon in Europe.
This increase of around 10 dollars (rounding how we have been in the past 23 years since we have dollars and not pesetas) corresponded to these rumors that have spoken of the new Switch 2 They could increase their price, so as not to frighten too much, offices of Nintendo They decided to start with the outings present in their digital store of the first To change.
There are about 80 games that now seem more expensive in the eshop From Mexico, a few days ago, when 799 pesos cost those which are now worth 999,999 those who will now be 1,099 and 1,1999 on which they have been updated at 1,399. And among the names, there are developments such as Bayonetta 3, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Bravely Default II, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Metroid Prime Remastered o Switch 1-2.
This could be a punctual increase in a specific market
It is also true that the situation of Mexico has led to Nintendo Take local measures for its proximity to the United States, exclusive to this market, which would not apply to others like Europeans. Anyway, what is obvious is that the new generation of To change It will be delivered with a price climb under the arm, both in the console itself and in the physical and digital games, it remains to be seen how this promotation of Nintendo will sell us: if the progress of this climb before arrival 2 arrives or leave everything when it is announced on April 2.
