Nintendo says Switch 2 pre-orders will be delayed due to "evolving market conditions"

Sad! I was so looking forward to updating my Switch 1's cutting-edge graphics circa 2008 with the the Switch 2's cutting-edge graphics circa 2010.

What ever will I spend hundreds of dollars on now??

Here's Nintendo's statement:

The pre-order delay is specific to the U.S.

For the moment, the Switch 2 is priced at $449, but hardcore Nintendo fans could easily spend $1,000 out of the gate if they really want to.

Oh, and did I mention that the digital copies of games start at $80 now??

I'll just be over here playing my Steam Deck if you need me.
