Nintendo Switch Set In Japan Offers Stripped Down Console For Cheap
(GameSpot DS News)
 


Nintendo has announced a new Switch set in Japan aimed at encouraging players to own more than one per household. The stripped-down version includes the Switch console, Joy-Cons, and Joy-Con straps, but leaves out all of the usual pieces meant to work with the Switch in TV mode: the dock, HDMI cable, and Joy-Con grip.Siliconera reports that the `Second Nintendo Switch Set` is a My Nintendo Store exclusive in Japan for the time being. The cost difference is pretty substantial at 25,000 yen instead of 30,000--a difference of about $45. No plans have been announced to bring this option to the West.Part of Nintendo`s success in the handheld space has been marketing its systems to families, and it wasn`t uncommon for siblings to own their own Game Boy or DS family system. The Switch is a hybrid console, so it stands to reason the company would attempt to use some of its handheld strategies again. The system is already a huge seller, so doubling up some households may help keep the momentum going if new adoptions slow.E3 is just around the corner, so we should know much more about Nintendo`s plans for the Switch soon. We know that the centerpiece of its plans appears to be Smash Bros., but we have our hopes for Pokemon as well.
