- Nintendo has set a date for switch 2 pre-orders in the United States and apologized for a previous delay.
- The game giant does not hike for the moment the price of the game console, but increases the prices of the accessories.
- Nintendo said higher prices were due to “variations in market conditions”.
On Friday, Nintendo has given its American customers an update – and this is a good situation of new / bad news.
The good news: the company does not increase the price of the Switch 2 game console (for now).
The bad news: the additional accessories that many buyers buy alongside the game console, such as controllers, become more expensive.
“Retail pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 will start on April 24, 2025. During the launch, the price of Nintendo Switch 2 in the United States will remain as announced on April 2 at $ 449.99, and the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle will remain announced at $ 499.99, “the company announced on Friday.
“However, Nintendo Switch 2 accessories will experience price adjustments of those announced on April 2 due to changes under market conditions,” added Nintendo. The company has published a full price list, which you can consult here.
Nintendo also keeps the door open to future price increases, including for Switch 2.
“Other adjustments to the price of any Nintendo product are also possible in the future depending on market conditions,” he said.
The long -awaited update arrives after Nintendo ended up in a difficult situation. On the same day as he announced the Pré -Pon -gesment Prize for the Switch 2, President Donald Trump unveiled his “Liberation Day” prices, which have had an impact on the countries that manufacture the Nintendo game consoles.
Nintendo decided to break American pre -orders, initially scheduled to start on April 9 “Evaluate the potential impact of prices and the evolution of market conditions”.
Nintendo apologized for the delay in its Friday update and declared that he hoped that his publication of prize details “reduces part of the uncertainty that our customers could experience”.
