The Nintendo Switch 2 is official, with a big twist. Nintendo teased the console via a YouTube clip a few weeks ago, likely to put an end to the increasing number of leaks that showed the next-gen handheld’s design. This was more of a soft launch for the Switch 2, with the actual event set for early April. Only then will we get the Switch 2 release date, price, and preorder information.
The price is easily the most important Switch 2 detail for gamers and families looking to upgrade. We’ve already seen a leak from Canada showing a CAD 499.99 price for the Switch 2.
If other leaks are to be believed, the Switch 2 is selling on the black market for $40,000 right now. Before Nintendo showed off the Switch 2 design, third-party accessory makers said the console was selling for a high price without giving a figure.
While we won’t get a price reveal until the Nintendo Direct event in early April, an analyst’s price prediction is good news for anyone interested in getting a Switch 2 console as soon as possible this year. The Switch 2 should start at $399, a sweet spot for Nintendo given the current market conditions and its plans for monetizing the next-gen console.
