Nintendo is raising prices of Switch 2 game cartridges starting in May
Summary
Nintendo will start pricing physical Switch 2 game cartridges higher than digital copies starting in May, with the first title, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, priced at $70 physical versus $60 digital. Nintendo says the price difference reflects production and distribution costs and gives players a choice, while retailers may set their own prices beyond Nintendo's guidance. The move could influence pricing for future first-party releases and has implications for consumers and developers accustomed to parallel digital and physical pricing.
