Nintendo Won't Focus On Making Switch 2 Games Exclusively, Switch 1 Remains Important

Nintendo Won't Focus On Making Switch 2 Games Exclusively, Switch 1 Remains Important https://ift.tt/OrYBS7c Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has stressed how vital it is for the company to keep driving sales of Switch 1 games, even though the Switch 2 has come to market. During the company's latest earnings briefing , Furukawa said, "I believe it is important that we consider how to expand the entire software business, including titles for both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2."

If you thought this Lego set could be purchased for less than $270 at one point, you'd be correct. Released in 2020 with a launch price of $230, the Lego NES was one of many sets that received substantial price hikes in 2022. For the past two years, the Lego NES has remained at its $270 price--when it's available to purchase at all. Major retailers--sometimes all of them--are constantly sold out of the Lego NES.

It's not the only hard-to-find Lego Nintendo set. The Super Mario 64 Question Block has disappeared from most retailers this year, and Lego retired the $200 building kit in July. Amazon just restocked this set as well--perhaps for the last time.
