- Nintendo Switch 2’s price may be €400 in Europe
- 25 games at launch could cost between €69-79 each
- Pre-orders and potential Mario Kart Rainbow Road bundle teased
Not only in previous years but from the beginning of 2025, Nintendo Switch 2 has been the subject of discussion, and the recent leak regarding the console’s price has added fuel to the speculation.
Switch 2 Price: A Estimate
Fans of this new console have been eagerly awaiting details on its release, price, and game lineup. Recently, a series of leaks have surfaced, shedding light on these key aspects.
According to a new rumor, the Nintendo Switch 2 might cost €400 in Europe. This claim arrived with the X post mentioning that “Someone who works at Micromania, a French retailer, says that they are ready for Pre-orders and that they are “REALLY FOR SOON” for Switch 2”
The good part is that this price range is quite lower as compared to the other price-relevant rumors that came before, aligning it with the idea of offering players a console that comes at a reasonable cost.
The leak further suggested that the 25 games that will come along with the release of Switch 2 might cost between between €69 and €79 each. While these figures do seem expensive players need to remind themselves that Nintendo has kept the prices low as compared to other companies from the start.
Considering this, it is unclear if these figures are actually true or just a mere guess. Moreover, another surprising element mentioned in the post was that the NSO will also be increased, and the Nintendo Switch Online service, which allows players to play games online, might demand more money than before.
The leak doesn’t end here, further revealing that it may include a “Limited Edition Bundle” and “Mario Kart Rainbow Road,” exciting the Mario fans, but still nothing is confirmed.
When Will the Switch 2 Be Released?
Last but not least, players can expect the pre-orders soon as the console may launch in March 2025. While the leaks have provided plenty of thrilling details, the actual release date of the Nintendo Switch 2 remains unclear.
The recent leaks have suggested a change in the timeline; as per renowned insider Nate the Hate (via Wario64), the console is now expected to launch sometime between May and June 2025, later than was originally expected.
The delay always leads to disappointment amongst fans who are eagerly waiting to lay hands on the next-gen console. But this is all about having faith in Nintendo and understanding that the company is focusing on delivering the best.
So, whenever it may arrive, players must know it will turn out to be the perfect device they have been looking forward to.
