Nintendo: [About Nintendo Switch 2 Game Pricing](https://www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/about-nintendo-switch-2-game-pricing/?ref=birchtree.me)

> Beginning in May 2026, and starting with preorders for Yoshi™ and the Mysterious Book, new Nintendo published digital titles exclusive to Nintendo Switch™ 2 will have an MSRP that is different from physical versions.

Considering Nintendo caught up with Sony and Microsoft and made their first party games $70 this generation (except for Mario Kart World, which cost $80 which is honestly *outrageous*), it's nice to have at least one video game headline that isn't about how a company is increasing prices further.
