GameStop has unveiled a revised pricing guide for the anticipated release of the Nintendo Switch 2, clarifying the costs associated with the console, its games, and related accessories. The initial pricing details surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2 were somewhat perplexing due to the absence of an official price announcement during the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct. Moreover, there was a widespread misunderstanding that the game Mario Kart World would retail for over $90 after its unveiling.
The pricing scenario surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2 became more complex following the postponement of its pre-order date. Initially, Nintendo decided to push back Switch 2 pre-orders in the US due to tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, aiming to understand their potential effect. Recently, Nintendo revealed a new pre-order date for Switch 2 on April 24. Although the console itself won’t be priced higher, fans will notice an increase in the cost of certain Switch 2 accessories.
GameStop has unveiled a convenient pre-order list for Nintendo enthusiasts, set to go live on April 24, along with updated price tags. According to GameStop, the Switch 2’s price remains unchanged. Gamers can opt for either the standard console priced at $449.99 or an enhanced version featuring “Mario Kart World” for $499.99. Since “Mario Kart World” retails at $79.99, choosing the Switch 2 “Mario Kart World” bundle will result in a savings of approximately $30 for enthusiasts.
