Nintendo's decision not to continue with its coupon program to start the Switch 2 era has led to a couple of theories. The most worrying, but likely, the reason for making Switch 2 games that are not eligible is that they will cost more. Tears from the Kingdom was the $ 70 acid test for Nintendo, and after selling more than 20 million copies in 18 months, it is probably safe to assume that Nintendo knows that it can get away with charging the same for its next Mario Kart and 3D Mario game on Switch 2.

It is also possible that Nintendo does not believe that it will need the coupon program for Switch 2 at launch. It was not introduced at Switch until two years in the console's driving because most people do not have to be convinced to buy new games when a new console is first released. Switch 2 games will fly off the shelves the other they get here without the need for offers and coupons, and if they cost $ 60 or $ 70.
