- After a delay, Nintendo has confirmed the start of the early orders of Switch 2 on April 24 in the US.
- Switch 2 will still begin at $ 449.99, which means that there is no price increase
- Some accessories for switch 2 will cost more
Finally we have good news for those in the United States who have anxiously waiting for information about the launch of Nintendo Switch 2 here. Only a few days before the early orders began on April 9, 2025, the Game Giant delayed them due to the new rates imposed by President Donald Trump.
That long wait has ended, however, as Nintendo has just announced This anticipated change of Switch 2 will begin in the United States on April 24, 2025. In even better news, the price remains the same: $ 449.99 for Nintendo Switch 2 and $ 499.99 for the console plus the new world title of Mario Kart.
Besides, Mario de Mario Kart will continue to cost $ 69.99 and Kong Banaza donkey It remains at $ 59.99 in physical and virtual editions. So, yes, the price for switch 2 does not increase, the console plus a game, the main Nintendo launch title and a new entry into a classic title.
However, that is where the good news ends. As we have seen with other electronic devices since the Trump administration rates began, not everything is without an increase in prices.
Nintendo writes: “The Nintendo Switch 2 accessories will experience price adjustments of those announced on April 2 due to changes in market conditions.” This is how the Pro and the switching chamber is seen so far for the Joy-with:
- Joy-Con 2 controllers are up to $ 94.99 from $ 89.99
- The pro now costs $ 84.99 from $ 79.99
- The switch chamber costs $ 54.99 from $ 49.99
Now, an increase of $ 5 is not as dramatic as one that Nintendo could have been thinking of doing when monitoring the economic situation.
Even so, an increase is an increase, and Nintendo points out that more of this could happen in the future: “Other adjustments to the price of any Nintendo product are also possible in the future depending on market conditions.”
These are, of course, all the suggested prices of Nintendo. If the Switch 2 proves to be a request for a difficult order, we could see the increase in the prices of third -party resellers. That is common for the main console releases, including PS5, Xbox Series X and even the Nintendo Wii.
Even with some increases, it is good to know that the United States will get an early ordering window, and starts in just six days. The Switch 2 console, its many accessories, and Mario Kart World, among dozens of other titles, will be officially launched on June 5, 2025.
We hope to listen to retailers such as Best Buy, Walmart and Gamestop, among others, to share plans for advance orders on April 24, 2025. Techradar communicated with them to comment, and we will update this story when we have news.
If you expect to reserve directly from Nintendo, you can register your interest, but the first batch of invitations for early orders of the My Nintendo store will be launched on May 8, 2025. It will need an online switch membership together with other requirements to reserve in this way.
Any of the routes, stay with us while we count on the launch of the Switch 2 and anticipated in the United States.
