Announcements of Fallout 4, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle for Nintendo Switch 2 looked promising, but it was the prices that caused a wave of negativity. Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition received the most criticism — the game was priced at $60 in the eShop. Players are outraged, reminding that the original release took place in 2015, more than ten years ago.
Price comparisons flooding Reddit and X are clearly not in favor of Nintendo and Bethesda. While the post-apocalyptic adventure is priced on Switch 2 like a new AAA release, the basic version of Fallout 4 is regularly sold for $4.99 on Steam, and the Anniversary Edition for about half the price announced for Switch 2.
Fans are calling it an absurd "tax on portability." The situation is aggravated by the first materials of the NS2 version, which show fairly modest graphics, as well as the impressive size of the game — about 60 GB on the memory card.
