In relation to commemorating the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda (Ocarina of Time): there’s a special edition of the Switch 2, the price of the console differs based on region. As in, of course Japan has the lowest price for the console in comparison to others (like they did with the original Switch 2 when that came out).
The pro controller is ¥12,980 ($84 / £62 / 72€) while the game itself is ¥8,980 ($58 / £43 / 50€).
| Price in JPY | equiv. in USD | equiv. in GBP | equiv. in EUR |
|---|---|---|---|
| ¥62,980 | $409 | £302 | 352€ |
Now, when you compare that with:
| US | UK | EU |
|---|---|---|
| $519.99 | £419.99 | 519,99€ |
$520 for a console that increasingly uses cartridges as nothing more than download keys is way too steep for me. I’d rather get an emulator platform like the AYN Thor or even a Steam Deck since they offer way more freedom to do what you want with the hardware.
