FULL STORY
======================================================================A 
listing for the Nintendo Switch 2 has appeared at an online Italian retailer 
The Switch 2 is listed with a 364.99 / $385 / 307 price tag This would make 
the console slightly more expensive than the Switch OLED 

Just because the Nintendo Switch 2 has been revealed doesn't mean the leaks 
have stopped, and the latest may have given us an idea of how much the 
console will cost. 

According to a newly uploaded listing on the Italian retailer Games and 
Movies the Switch successor will seemingly cost 364.99, which is roughly $385 
/ 307 (via NintendoLife ). 

The website also features an apparent release date, reading, "Pre-order 
product. Estimated availability: 31 December 2025", although it's highly 
likely that this is just a placeholder date. 

Interestingly, the 364.99 / $385 / 307 price point puts the Switch 2 at just 
15 / $15 / 12.58 more than the Nintendo Switch OLED , which is the most 
expensive Switch model currently available. 

Nintendo has yet to announce an official launch date for the console, we only 
know that it will be arriving in 2025, so the retailer's current price 
listing could prove to be a placeholder to encourage interest in early 
pre-orders. 

For now, we can only speculate on how much the next Nintendo handheld will 
cost, however, if we consider the console's more powerful hardware it could 
certainly have a higher price point than its predecessor. 

TechRadar Gaming predicts that Nintendo will keep the cost of the Switch 2 at 
around $399.99 / 349.99 / AU$699.95, or lower. 

Alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal earlier this month, it was confirmed 
that a Nintendo Direct showcase will air on April 2, 2025, which will 
hopefully provide us with a release date and a deeper look at the hardware 
and software. You might also like... The best Nintendo Switch games to play
