Nintendo Switch 2 Leak Reveals Console’s Price

Nintendo Switch 2 Leak Reveals Console's Price

As a seasoned video game enthusiast with over two decades of passion for all things Nintendo, I can’t help but feel a thrill of anticipation upon hearing this latest rumor about the Nintendo Switch 2. The anonymous source, “MoistyCharlie,” has a history of accurate leaks, making this whispers of a potential reveal in early October and a $400 price tag all the more tantalizing.


There’s speculation that the cost of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 might have been unintentionally disclosed. Although Nintendo has confirmed they are developing a new gaming system and hinted that it would be an upgrade to the Nintendo Switch, they haven’t given any details about the device or announced when it will be officially presented. Many rumors suggest that the Nintendo Switch 2 could hit the market next year. If this is accurate, then we might expect a formal announcement soon, as the latest gossip about the console claims.

The rumor comes from an anonymous source, but one with an interesting track record. More specifically, the rumor emerged out of an unofficial Discord for GTA 6 from a user called “MoistyCharlie.” Typical, anonymous sources aren’t worth paying too much attention to, however, this user reportedly leaked the PS5 Pro announcement date, and price point, before any of the details were officially revealed by Sony. And considering no one saw the PS5 Pro’s $700 price point coming, it is safe to rule out a double lucky guess.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’ve picked up some buzz about the upcoming reveal – apparently, the Nintendo Switch 2 is set to make its grand entrance “early next month.” Now, the leaker didn’t specify the exact date in October, but given the term “early,” it seems we might be looking at the first half of the month, potentially even the opening week. Additionally, the source mentioned a price point for this new console – if the intel checks out, we’re looking at a release price of $400. Keep your fingers crossed and stay tuned for more updates!

It’s hinted that Nintendo will provide two versions of their console, each with a distinct price range. It seems likely that one version could cost around $400. The source doesn’t reveal specific details, but there’s a possibility that Nintendo might release an affordable, digital-only console alongside the regular model equipped with a disc drive, similar to what they did with the Nintendo Switch and its Lite version. However, it’s important to note that this is just speculation at this point, as the leaker doesn’t confirm this as the reason for two different console versions. The timing of such a release in relation to the console’s lifespan remains uncertain.

Absolutely, any assumptions or talk about the matter, along with its origins as a rumor, should be regarded skeptically. Whatever information is circulating isn’t confirmed and could potentially alter. At this stage in development, Nintendo is unlikely to adjust price points. However, release dates are frequently flexible. As for Nintendo, they haven’t addressed this rumor at all. They typically don’t respond to speculation, so we don’t anticipate a change in their approach. If there’s an update from them, we’ll make sure to keep you informed.
