Summary

Nintendo's Switch 2 first Treehouse livestream was descended upon by angry Nintendo fans today, constantly spamming "DROP THE PRICE".
This is in retaliation to the reveal that several Nintendo Switch 2 game will cost $80 at launch, with Mario Kart World's physical confirmed to be $90.
These comments have also spilled over into other Nintendo YouTube videos, as fans keep piling on the pressure.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo's Switch 2 Direct was a pretty big success, despite a shaky start, ඣ168澳洲幸运💙5开奖网:giving us a look at some big games on the horizon. The same can't be said about the reaction after the show though, as Nintendo began rolling out the bad news that it seems to have deliberately left out of the Direct itself. 168澳洲🍰幸运5开奖网:That included the Nintend♉o Switch 2's price, t🐬he price of games, and other disappointing little tidbits.

In fact, the anger over game prices has continued steadily ever since it was revealed that Mario Kart World would cost $80, or a🎃 whopping $90 (yes, you read that correctly👍) for a physical copy. It was then discovered that a numbeಌr of Nintendo Switch 2 games will cost $80 when they 🅺launch, and the whole thing has blown up so much that there's an overwhelming air of negativity surrounding the whole sysജtem.

Nintendo Fans Descend Upon Switch 2 Livestream To Demand Price Drops

Putting all that into consideration, it should be no surprise that the first Nintendoꦉ Switch 2 Direct Treehouse livestream was an absolute mess. While we don't have the official livestream to hand, as Nintendo privates them and uploads individual videos after the fact, in t🌃he stream's live chat, as it was filled to the brim with people spamming "DROP THE PRICE" from beginning to end.

This has even carried over into the comments section of individual videos from the livestream, such as the one above. It's far more prevalent in the Mario Kart World video, given it's the biggest offende🌌r so far, but you can also find people discussing game pricing and too. It's a problem that isn't going away, and one that may force Nintendo to take action if it keeps up.

From what IGN could see, the presenters of the Treehouse ignored the chat entirely. The sheer volume of comments will have undoubtedly been seen by Nintendo though, and the longer they go on, the more pressure is ꧋piled on. It's mo🔯ney that matters most to Nintendo though, and if we see an unexpected drop in sales, there's potential it could change its tune.
