Since Nintendo unveiled the Switch 2 on January 16, the console has been getting even more attention. And this time, it’s its price that shakes the web.
The official announcement is still awaited, but a recent leak relayed by GameRant suggests a much higher bill than for previous Nintendo consoles. If this rumor is true, I advise you to save money now.
Design, performance or price, the Switch 2 exceeds expectations!
In our articles dedicated to the Switch 2, we talked about an estimated price between 399 $ et 499 $. However, this leak suggests that the final amount would be closer to the upper range.
According to an anonymous source cited by @Shpeshal_Nick on X, the new console could cost 449 $even up to $499 at its launch. This higher price could concern a pack including the new game Mario Kartseen in the Switch 2 trailer.
That said, for a Nintendo console, this price is rather high. For comparison, the original Switch cost 299 $ upon its release, and the version OLED improved was launched at 349 $.
With a price between 449 $ et 499 $the Switch 2 comes close to portable PC systems like the Steam Deck, whose models start at $399.
According to a report from IGN, some experts even think that $400 would be a low price more reasonable. Even accounting for inflation, which inevitably drives up the price of new technologies, this amount seems more accessible for many players.
Waiting for more information from Nintendo…
For now, we have very little information about the Nintendo Switch 2. The first trailer only gave a glimpse of the new features and a larger design.

Everything about price, release date and others, we are currently only dealing with guesses and rumors. Other details could arrive in the coming months, but we will have to wait for the Nintendo Direct of 2 avril 2025 to find out more.
This major event should finally reveal key information: the precise release date, the games that will accompany the console at launch, and above all its official price. We could even see pre-orders open at the end of this presentation.
In the meantime, you’ll have to wait to find out everything Nintendo has planned. Why not spend the time with the best Switch games current? And for impatient fans, Nintendo offers to register on its site to try to participate in exclusive events where the Switch 2 will be presented.
So, do you start saving now or wait for Nintendo’s official announcement to decide? Tell us how you’re preparing for the arrival of this console!
