After today’s Switch 2 Nintendo Direct, Nintendo confirmed the Nintendo Switch 2 price: $449.99.
Available on June 5, 2025, the Nintendo Switch 2 was fully revealed today ahead of pre-orders going live on April 9.
“Nintendo Switch 2 is the next step in at-home gaming that can be taken on the go based on eight years of play and discovery that began with Nintendo Switch,” said Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa.
“With its new features that expand the possibilities of gaming experiences, I truly believe that Nintendo Switch 2 is a leap forward in our journey of putting smiles on the faces of everyone that Nintendo touches.”

The Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle has a suggested retail price of $499.99 in the United States, and includes a system and a download code for Mario Kart World, available from Nintendo Switch 2 launch day on June 5. Mario Kart World on its own costs $79.99, which means if you get the bundle you’re buying Mario Kart World $30 cheaper.
While it’s normal to hear lots of curiosity as to how much a new console will cost, the Nintendo Switch 2 in particular has been the focus of a lot of debate due to the unusual economic environment it’s releasing in. As experts told us back in January, factors such as supply chain constraints and uncertainty around tariffs could have impacted Nintendo’s decision around price setting. However, analysts have also said that Nintendo is likely to sell lots of consoles at launch, regardless of the price.
