Seems far too generous (Nintendo)An official price for the Nintendo Switch 2 is probably months away, but that wont stop some retailers from making their own guesses.There remain several key questions for Nintendo to answer about the Nintendo Switch 2, most of which are expected to be addressed in its planned April showcase, which should also confirm an exact release date and probably when official pre-orders will open.Theres enough information to help narrow down a potential release date with June being the current best guess but whats harder to guess at is the price of the Switch 2.Nintendo will likely wait until right before the Switch 2 comes out before committing to a price, but it doesnt look like this will stop retailers from advertising their own prices for the console.Recently, Italian retailer Games And Movies started offering pre-orders for the Switch 2, despite its lack of a release date. It doesnt pretend to know when exactly itll launch though, only giving a placeholder date of December 31.However, it has set a price of 364.99, which works out at around 307. For comparison, the original Switch on its own goes for 259.99 on Nintendos online store. The Switch 2s unlikely to be as expensive as a PlayStation 5, but even this seems too low (Games And Movies)Before you get too excited, its extremely unlikely this comes directly from Nintendo. For starters, while that UK price would make it more expensive than the original Switch, which youd expect, its actually cheaper than the OLED Model, which retails at 309.99.While theres been no suggestion that the Switch 2 will also have an OLED screen (in fact, leaks point to it being an LCD screen like the basic Switch model), it is notably larger than any previous model and contains much more modern, and therefore expensive, components.Even ignoring that, the pricing doesnt make sense for Italian customers. 364.99 sounds like a lot, but thats only 15 more than what the Switch OLED Model costs, according to the Italian Nintendo store.The site also notes that By pre-ordering it now you can guarantee the discounted price, which could suggest its deliberately low-balling the price to make its listing more enticing than whatever price Nintendo ultimately picks.More TrendingAt the time of writing, though, we were unable to place a pre-order. The site tells you to pre-order now but there doesnt seem to be any button to allow you to do so.This is probably not the last time this will happen though, as various retailers around the world try to get a headstart on pre-orders and try to guess the price ahead of time.As a reminder, President Donald Trump has threatened to impose stronger tariffs on China, which analysts have said would make consoles like the Switch 2 more expensive.That means Nintendo may be anxious about committing to a US price, since it might have to change it before the console is even out.
