Nintendo Announces Switch 2 U.S. Pre-Order Date, 'Maintains' High Prices

Nintendo maintains Switch 2 pricing despite tariff changes. The company announced US pre-orders for the Switch 2 will begin April 24th, a date previously delayed due to fluctuating US tariff policies.

While the prices of the Switch 2 ($449.99), the Mario Kart bundle ($499.99), and Mario Kart World ($79.99) remain unchanged, Nintendo acknowledges price adjustments for some accessories due to market conditions. Further price changes for any Nintendo product remain a possibility.

Here's a complete price list of Switch 2 products and accessories:

• Nintendo Switch 2 - $449.99
• Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle - $499.99
• Mario Kart World - $79.99
• Donkey Kong Bananza - $69.99
• Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller - $84.99
• Joy-Con 2 Pair - $94.99

Despite the higher price point, particularly the $80 price tag for Mario Kart World, Nintendo remains firm on its pricing strategy. The $450 Switch 2 price places it above competitors like the PS5 and Xbox Series S, but Nintendo's confidence stems from the Switch's past success.

While tariff reductions have occurred, impacting console production in various countries, including China, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Japan, these changes haven't affected the US pricing of the Switch 2. Consumer pressure to lower prices has been unsuccessful. The decision now rests with consumers.
