Nintendo Switch 2’s ‘C’ Button Is Even More Mysterious After the Reveal
The Switch 2 reveal trailer confirms that the new console will have an extra button compared to its predecessor, fueling speculation among fandom.
Leaker Shpeshal Nick has gone to Twitter to say that the person leaking Switch 2 details to them has claimed that the console will launch in June, and it will retail for $449.99 with a $499.99 bundle option, the latter assumed to feature the new Mario Kart game as a pack-in. Now, fans should take this information with a massive grain of salt. Other insiders and leakers have pointed to $399.99 being the probable price point of the Switch 2, after all.
Nintendo Switch 2 Rumored Price
$449.99 does seem a little pricey for the Switch 2, and $499.99 is definitely out there, even if the new Mario Kart game is bundled in. Then again, video game hardware prices have naturally increased in the years since Nintendo launched the original Switch, and so it may be a more realistic price point than some may think. Ultimately, we won’t know for sure what the Switch 2’s price will be until Nintendo itself decides to reveal that information.
But while we don’t know how much the Switch 2 costs, we do have an idea of when that information may be announced. During the Switch 2 reveal, Nintendo confirmed that a Nintendo Direct on April 2 will reveal more information on the console. It’s entirely possible that the presentation will include the Switch 2’s price and release date information, especially if it’s targeting a June release as rumored, but that remains to be seen. Nintendo fans will just have to tune in to the April 2025 Nintendo Direct to find out.
Nintendo Switch 2
The Nintendo Switch 2 is the successor to Nintendo Switch, scheduled for release in 2025. Confirmed as backwards compatible, it will play both physical and digital Nintendo Switch games. A full reveal is pencilled in for April 2, 2025.
