The Nintendo Switch 2 will still cost $450 in the US, despite tariffs


The Nintendo Switch 2 will still cost $450 in the US and go on sale for pre-order April 24 despite tariffs, the company announced.

Fans feared the long-awaited console would spike in price due to Trump’s export rules on international goods, but Nintendo confirmed the Switch 2 will still cost $449.99 and come out on June 5, as originally announced. As far as games go, Nintendo will not change the prices of the digital and physical versions of two launch-day heavy-hitters, Mario Kart World ($79.99) and Donkey Kong Bananza ($69.99). Earlier this week, Sony announced that it would bump the PlayStation 5 price in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand due to shifts in the global economy.
