Hello there, fellow gamers! As we eagerly await the unveiling of the Nintendo Switch 2 this week, let's take a moment to discuss the one factor that can make or break a sale: the price. With the original Switch launching at £279.99, it's safe to assume that the new model will cost a bit more due to inflation and increased power. My estimate is that it will be priced between £300-£350, but there's always a chance it could reach £400. However, considering the Xbox Series S is currently priced at around £250, it's unlikely that Nintendo will make their new console significantly more expensive. Of course, if they include a major launch game or a pack-in, that may sway things in their favor.
I'm curious to hear what other readers would be willing to pay for the new Switch. Personally, I would go up to £350 without a game, but anything beyond that would require some serious consideration. It's always a tough decision when it comes to spending our hard-earned money on a new console, but with the potential of a free copy of Mario Kart 9, it might just be worth it.
Moving on to the topic of the Switch reveal date, a recent rumor from a reliable insider suggests that it may finally be unveiled this Thursday. While we shouldn't get our hopes up too high in terms of game announcements, there are two possibilities that could explain this caution. The first is that there's a lot to say about the hardware that hasn't been leaked yet, which would be a relief for those worried about its similarities to the original Switch. The second is that the leaker is wrong and we may actually see a lot of game announcements, which is supported by leaks from retailer websites. Either way, I think it's safe to say that the wait will be worth it.
As an 80s baby, I often think about how lucky I am to have grown up during the golden age of gaming. From the Sega Master System to the Nintendo 64 and the PlayStation 1, I've witnessed the evolution of gaming technology and the release of countless amazing games. It's a shame that those born in the 00s won't get to experience the same level of excitement and anticipation for new game releases, but I'm grateful to have been born in the 80s.
Speaking of games, I wanted to ask if any of you have encountered a game-breaking bug in Call Of Duty? As an avid player, I primarily enjoy Free for All mode, but for the past few months, it has been completely broken. I often receive wins for finishing last and losses for coming in first, and it seems to be completely random. It's ruining my stats and my enjoyment of the game, and I find it strange that such a big issue hasn't been addressed yet. Have any of you experienced this as well? And have you found a way to fix it?
On a lighter note, I recently discovered that there are a number of games available on Netflix that I've been wanting to play, such as Hades, Storyteller, Immortality, and the Golden Idol series. I've never really explored the gaming section on Netflix before, so I'm curious to know how these games play over the streaming service. Do any of you regularly use Netflix for gaming? If so, have you experienced any issues? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Hey there,
Do you happen to know if we will be given the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 this week? The Tuesday letters page is curious about the best games on Netflix and a reader is wondering how Dragon Age: The Veilguard will impact Mass Effect 4. If you want to join in on the discussion, feel free to email us at email. Switching consoles can be pretty expensive, so let's talk about it.
There's a rumor that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be unveiled this week, which is pretty exciting. But the most important question for many of us is: how much will it cost? The original Switch was priced at £279.99, but with inflation and increased power, it's safe to assume that the Switch 2 will be more expensive. The OLED Model started at £309.99, so my estimate is that the Switch 2 will be a bit more expensive, but I doubt it'll go above £350. Some people speculate that it could even be £400, but I find that hard to believe, especially since the Xbox Series S is priced at around £250. Of course, it's Nintendo, so it's hard to predict. If they have a major launch game or even a bundled game, the price could change. For instance, £400 with a free copy of Mario Kart 9 sounds like a pretty good deal to me. What do you think? How much are you willing to pay for the Switch 2? Personally, I would go up to £350 without a game, but anything beyond that would require a bit more consideration.
Moving on to other news, that Nintendo Switch reveal date rumor seems pretty credible, coming from a reliable insider. So, I'm guessing there's a good chance that it will finally be revealed this Thursday. However, we should keep our expectations in check, especially in terms of games. This could mean two things: either there's a lot to say about the hardware that we don't know yet, or the leaker is wrong and there will actually be a lot of games shown. Based on leaks from retailer websites and such, it seems like there will be a lot of games, which is definitely worth waiting for. There's so much anticipation built up that anything could be a disappointment, but I'm confident that most of our questions will be answered soon.
As a gamer born in the 80s, I've always thought about how lucky I am compared to those born in the 00s. I mean, just think about all the amazing games that have come out in the past 30+ years! But then I read Shawn Layden's comments about consoles reaching their limit, and it got me thinking. It's true, I'm glad I was born in the 80s because I got to witness the Sega Master System, the Nintendo 64, and the mighty PlayStation 1 being released. It was truly a great time to be a gamer.
On a different note, I was wondering if you or any readers have any information about a game-breaking bug in Call of Duty. As an avid player, I've noticed that Free for All on Black Ops 6 has been completely broken for the past few months. I've even won for coming in last place and lost for coming in first place, and it's not based on assists or KD ratio. It's frustrating and it's ruining my stats and enjoyment of the game. I've tried googling the issue and tweeting the developers, but I haven't gotten any response. Is there a way to find out when this will be fixed?
Lastly, I was curious about the gaming section on Netflix. I didn't realize that games like Hades, Storyteller, Immortality, and the Golden Idol series were available to play. I'm just wondering how these games play on the streaming service. Are there any issues? Do any of you regularly use Netflix for gaming? I would appreciate any comments or advice on this matter.
Thank you for taking the time to read my email. I look forward to hearing from you and your readers.
Best,
