No other prices are currently listed that I can see. Upgrade Pack cost is also not listed. Looks like Switch 2 first party games will be $79.99 USD going forward.

Switch titles were great because most titles I purchased were either 1st party or indie.

The Indies were usually modest in scope and priced accordingly and all of my 1st party games were purchased with 2 for au$135 vouchers.

These bought the per title price down to the equivalent of us$38 (pre tax), quite a bargain and I bought quite a few games in launch week where i would have been waiting for a sale on other platforms.

Now the voucher page is telling me:

Regarding Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive games: Please note that Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers cannot be redeemed for Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive games.

If they don't offer an equivalent Switch 2 Voucher program I'm likely to pass on the smaller releases.
