A Costco in Canada has supposedly leaked the price for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. According to the leak, the console will cost $499.99 (Canadian) or around $350 (USD).
The picture of the Costco price tag reads: “Nintendo Switch Palce Holder,” misspelling the word “place.” This misspelling sparked concerns regarding the legitimacy of the supposed leak – but the price point seemingly checks out, as it is consistent with prior industry trends.
For context, the original Nintendo Switch released for $299.99 in the states, with the OLED costing $349.99. These figures do not include tax.
The Nintendo Switch’s impact on the industry has set high expectations for its successor, with fans eagerly awaiting details on its capabilities, launch lineup, and price point.
There has been no official price reveal for the Switch 2 – the Nintendo Switch 2 price will likely be officially announced during their Nintendo Direct, scheduled for April 2.
The original Nintendo Switch has sold 150 million units since its launch eight years ago, ranking among the best-selling gaming consoles in history. Its initial release was marked by widespread shortages, a challenge Nintendo is reportedly working to prevent for the launch of its successor.
