The Switch 2 has been revealed, and analysts have suggested it'll be much cheaper than its rivals while leaks have suggested what we'll be playing on launch dayTech14:44, 20 Jan 2025Nintendo have finally announced the Switch 2Nintendo finally revealed the Nintendo Switch 2 last week, but it's glitzy trailer didn't give a lot away outside of the revised physical design.Still, that's enough to get us all excited for the full reveal on April 2, but one thing we may know already is the launch price.That's thanks to analysts weighing in at IGN, all of whom are expecting the system is likely to launch at a price point of $400 dollars (that's around 325).That's certainly good news with the PS5 Pro costing 700 and reports GTA 6 could be priced as high as $100, but Nintendo's new system is seemingly shaping up to be cheaper than you may have expected.The analysts did suggest that if the Switch 2 is in high demand that it could end up costing more, but one even suggested PS5 and Xbox Series X could have sold for more than they originally launched at."If the Switch 2 is supply-constrained at launch, Nintendo could charge more," Rhys Elliot of MIDiA told IGN. "Early adopters would be willing to pay for it, and if it's going to sell out anyway, Nintendo might think, 'Why not?' I think Sony and Microsoft regret releasing the base PS5 and Series X consoles at $500. Both could have got away with $600 or more at launch."Also, Nintendo, unlike the other platform holders almost wholly relies on its console business, so it cannot as easily take big loss-leading risks on pricing (the console itself would need to be profitable, not just offset by software sales)."So what will we be playing on it? Well, we know there will be Switch 2 exclusives and backward compatibility, and that the controller might double as a mouse.We've also heard that one AAA third-party game could be making the jump, and there was a new Mario Kart title teased in the reveal trailer above, but what else?Since the console was announced we've heard rumblings of Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Mirage (but not Shadows), The Division and Rainbow Six Siege making the jump, as well as Capcom's Resident Evil 4 Remake and Monster Hunter Wilds (the latter of which would certainly be an impressive technical feat).Elsewhere rumours have pointed to Halo: The Master Chief Collection from Microsoft as it continues its push to go multiplatform, as well as a Switch 2 port of Elden Ring (maybe with the expansion included).We'll be sure to keep you updated, but coming off such a big-seller with the Switch, it'll be exciting to see Nintendo firing on all cylinders.Article continues belowFor the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.RECOMMENDED
