I don’t think he has a great understanding of Australian prices.

The current MKW price of au$120 looks high but if you remove our GST and convert to USD with the average exchange rate over the last 12 months its equivalent to us$70.85. (Donky Kong is au$110 or us$65).

We are currently at a low point with our dollar so the conversion for MKW today would be us$66.49. (DK would be us$61).

Interesting to see reasons for where compatibility is physically impossible:

1. The console is a different shape and can’t fit the LABO frames
2. The Joy-Con 2 are a different shape and can’t fit the Ring-Con or Leg Strap.
3. The Jon-Con 2 don’t have the IR Motion Camera
4. The Jon-Con 2 rumble is weaker than Joy Con
