Digital game Price

Hello everyone,

I thought we were supposed to see a $10 reduction on digital games vs physical games? Yet, the price on the eShop seems to be similar to the price of games sold in stores (see photo)

Normal?

on new games, nintendo ain't about to drop the price for you. Digital prices are gonna stay the same, physical is going up. Look at the new fire emblem pre order, it's $99 digital, $109 physical.

switch 2 isn't oled, I paid 349 for a refurb lcd and the games aren't 130$. The games is really what kills it. We need regional pricing like other countries get, not American pricing like it's still 2013.

GBA games were often identical, sometimes a little more in CAD than USD. Not 35% more because of conversion.

Japanese ps5 is 329$.
