It has been a long time for gamers in the U.S. and Canada to find out the Switch 2 pricing details. Now, thankfully, Nintendo has confirmed the costs and when players can start pre-orders.
Nintendo has confirmed today that pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 will begin on 24 April 2025, next week, for both Canadian and U.S. customers! And the console will still launch on 5 June 2025. There were concerns that the impact of President Trump’s tariffs might mean the console may suffer a delay or a significant price increase.
Nintendo also confirmed that the price of the console and the bundle with Mario Kart World will remain as previously advertised in the U.S and Canada. The console will retail at CAD$629.99 / $449.99 with the Mario Kart World bundle running at CAD$699.99 / $499.99. They also confirmed that the retail prices of both Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza will remain as previously advertised, CAD$109.99 / $79.99 and CAD$99.99 / $69.99, respectively.
However, Nintendo did confirm that Nintendo Switch 2 pricing for its accessories will experience “price adjustments” from those previously announced on 2 April, at the Switch 2 Direct. They’ve cited “changes in market conditions” as the reason, and also not that “other adjustments to the price of any Nintendo product are also possible in the future, depending on market conditions,” meaning things could well change in the future.
We’ve listed the updated pricing alongside an indication of the price change.
