When Nintendo unveiled Switch 2 Welcome Tour last week, many had hoped that it would be a free pack-in with the new console. The company has known to include some free software with previous platforms and comparisons have been drawn to Astro’s Playroom, which didn’t cost anything extra when picking up a PS5.
Bill Trinen, Nintendo of America’s VP of product and player experience, has now weighed in on things. First, it’s now confirmed that the title will cost $10. Trinen also mentioned that Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is “a pretty robust piece of software” and it’s intended for those “that want more information about the system rather than necessarily a quick intro to everything it does.”
Trinen’s full words, as shared by IGN:
In light of recent controversy surrounding Nintendo Switch 2 pricing – and the cost of games in particular – VP of product and player experience Bill Trinen has weighed in on the situation.
Arguably the biggest issue right now is Mario Kart World, which sots $80 on its own. Trinen indicated that the game has a lot of value with a lot of meat on its bones, believing many will “find this to be probably the richest Mario Kart experience they’ve ever had.”
According to CD Projekt Red, the highest Nintendo Switch 2 physical cartridge can hold 64GB of data.
The company is going for that amount for its launch game Cyberpunk 2077. CD Projekt Red’s community manager, who was speaking about the game with Beatemups, said the team “specifically went for the highest capacity, so 64 gigs.”
