The Switch 2 will hit store shelves on June 5 for $449.99.

Mario Kart World will cost $80, an increase from $60, which is what Nintendo charged for Switch games.

Um... Wow.

With these prices, they better have one hell of a line up besides a Mario Kart that looks about the same and Street Fighter 6.

I'm very interested on how powerful this thing is if it's price is going to be higher than the LCD Steam Deck and $100 less than the OLED model.

Fun fact, if you adjust for inflation, this machine is only $52 more than the original switch was at launch.

This is basically the originally pricing, adjusted for inflation + Trump’s 20% Chinese manufacturing tariff.

It's also at around the same price point in Europe. I don't think the tarriffs had an effect on the price.

Edit: I was wrong about JP pricing and removed that part.

But its only 300 euros in Japan. That is 200 euros cheaper than in Europe. Which is why they don't allow us to buy a japanese Switch 2.

If I travel to Japan (just for fun, not for this) I am not allowed to buy the Switch 2? Or is there any regional restriction?

Yeah i think it just does not allow non japanese versions of games or non japanese accounts. So you could buy one but all your games would need to be the japanese version and you can only connect to the japanese nintendo online.

Non-JP version games "might" work, but will force to shown in Japanese (if available)

Japan-only version: Only support Japanese language, JP Nintendo account, and probably Japan payment methods for shopping.

Multilanguage support version: Doesn't have those limits, but it's more expensive.
