Take a deep breath and enjoy the hype: Nintendo Switch 2 is finally out, and the excitement of a new console generation is a rarity worth savouring. The new console launched on June 5, with an unusually large selection of first and third-party launch games available in physical format.
Which is great. What is less great, is that the RRP on these is a big jump from what we saw with the original Nintendo Switch. First-party games like Mario Kart World can cost as much as AU$119.95, which is much higher than the usual AU$89.95 we've come to expect from Nintendo.
Not all retailers are asking that much: the likes of Amazon and JB Hi-Fi are carving small chunks off that astronomical RRP. Likewise with games like Donkey Kong Bonanza, which wears an RRP of AU$109.95, but which Amazon, for example, is offering for AU$99 at the moment. Launch week saw some first-party games, like Mario Kart World, sell for as little as AU$94, but a week later, and now that the storm has settled, most retailers are charging between the RRP and AU$105.
Below is a list of the biggest Nintendo Switch 2 launch games in Australia, and the best price on each at the time of writing. I'll keep this updated over the coming days and weeks.
