Nintendo has officially raised the Switch 2 price to $500 — and at nearly the same time, brought Star Fox back to center stage.
This week on The Expansion Pass, Luke Lohr, Captain Logun, and special guest Joseph Moran (Mr. BadBit from The Trophy Room: A PlayStation Podcast) break down Nintendo’s pricing strategy, the return of Star Fox, Sony’s massive Bungie write-down, Marathon’s future, and Xbox canceling Copilot for Gaming under Asha Sharma.
Topics include:
🎮 Nintendo Switch 2 price increase 🦊 Star Fox returns on Switch 2 💰 Sony writes down roughly $767 million tied to Bungie 🏃 Marathon player counts, discourse, and live service pressure 🧠 Xbox cancels Copilot for Gaming 🎙 SGF discussion and gaming industry analysis
The team also debates whether Marathon can recover long term, why Nintendo may still succeed despite rising hardware prices, and whether Star Fox’s reboot is the right move for the franchise.
👉 Clear takes. No console-war noise.
