Tariff on Japanese goods excluding metal, automobiles is 15%. The normal amiibo with tariff should be 18.49 US. The bike 28.99. Add a little inflation maybe 20 bucks and 31. Ridiculous argument if you know the numbers. Even if they're getting China rate tariff its 21 and 32 base. So yes factors but much bigger factor is pure Nintendo greed. Don't even get me started on the Galaxy and Kirby ones.

They were £12.99 originally, and now £16.99. Sure, the bigger cycle one is more expensive, but the individual character ones are only slightly more expensive, which can simply be put down to normal inflation. Americans only have Trump tariffs to blame for their large price jumps.

Thank you. Do we know how much the upgrade pack will cost?

Man, with the price of amiibos skyrocketing - and I understand at least part of the reason for that in the US anyway - they could at least make sure that the in-game unlockables are well worth it. They can provide that without worrying about the manufacturing/importing factors. The DK Bananza amiibo was nice looking, but the in-game rewards were paltry. Give them functionality that is at least semi-worthwhile! I'm a sucker for Metroid merch too, but, at those prices I just don't think I can do it.

both Zelda games are higher price-tier base games (£59.99 RRP).

yes it seems Mario Galaxy + Mario Galaxy 2 is a higher price-tier game (£58.99 RRP), but it is available from various retailers for ~£49.99 👍

It's priced in line with DK Bananza. The reason it costs less than say MKW is because it's a Switch 2 Edition rather than an exclusive and it's not as big an IP as Zelda. Plus they want the series to be more popular than it is.. This was most likely the reason why MP Remastered was cheaper.

Talking of Remastered... the incredible job Retro did with that, makes me confident MP4 will be top tier. 9/10 at worst.

but remember that NS2E cartridge games do also work in original Switch consoles. so you can buy the NS2E physical game and play it on S2 consoles & original Switch consoles [without S2 upgrades]

If I buy the Switch 1 cart, will it work in my OLED for my son to play and the Switch 2 for me to play? If so, is there an upgrade pack, or is it a free download? Anyone know?

They can't justify that price hike just because of some extra plastic. That's not the biggest cost in making these. It's mostly the design/development and marketing, which is still almost exactly the same amount of work as Toon Link.

That’s a remarkable price point, makes it one of the cheapest Switch 2 physical games available. Yet the Mario Galaxy bundle is £60.00. I can’t help but feel these lower prices are telling us something. Surely there’s limitations and rules to how low a price point can be from genuine retailers, so as not to undermine its value.
