Nintendo Switch price DROP: Costs FALLING after Nintendo backlash

NINTENDO Switch games prices have been the subject of criticism, but retailers have started to fight back ahead of the March release date.

The Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch price cut

Nintendo Switch prices have started to tumble in the UK, as sites like Amazon and Argos cut the price of Switch games.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the most high profile launch title on Switch, but had previously been given a £60 price tag on Amazon.

However, Argos has since reduced the price of The Legend of Zelda, cutting the upcoming Switch game to £49.99.

Amazon has since followed suit, reducing the price from £60 to £50 ahead of the March 3 release date.

It's still £10 more expensive than the Wii U version, which is being advertised for £40.

Let's hope more games drop in price ahead of the Nintendo Switch launch.

NBA 2K18 Nintendo Switch launch title

It was recently revealed that the Nintendo Switch games list has expanded, after a new launch title was announced by Nintendo.

Previously without a release date, NBA 2K18 has been confirmed for the Nintendo Switch's March 3 launch.

"NBA 2K18 – Nintendo Switch lands in the UK on March 3rd! We're excited to be bringing NBA 2K18 to Nintendo's latest console this September!" reads a 2K tweet.

It's possible third-party developers will have some surprises in store for launch, and fans can also expect a selection of Virtual Console releases.

The Nintendo Switch launch games lineup in full:

  • 1-2-Switch – March 3
  • The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – March 3
  • Skylanders Imaginators – March 3
  • Just Dance 2017 – March 3
  • Super Bomberman R (March 3)
  • NBA 2K18 (March 3)

While the launch list of games is still lacking, Nintendo has plenty more releases in the pipeline.

This includes Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Arms, Splatoon 2, LEGO City Undercover and Sonic Mania.
