Pokemon Winds and Waves Price Leak Isn’t Good News for Fans

Fans of the upcoming Pokemon Winds and Pokemon Waves might be disappointed by a recent price leak. Nintendo has been experimenting with game prices on the Switch 2 since its release last year, with some titles staying at the standard $60, while others have cost as much as $80. The leak suggests that Pokemon Winds and Waves will likely be among the more expensive games.

A listing on Amazon Germany, first noticed by @Nintendeal, shows the new Pokemon Winds and Waves game priced at €79.99. While that converts to over $90, it likely means the game will cost $80 when it’s released in North America. If so, Pokemon Winds and Waves would be just the third Switch 2 game to reach that price point, following Mario Kart World and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.

The potential price currently listed for Pokemon Winds and Waves on Amazon Germany is likely just a temporary estimate. Nintendo hasn’t finalized the price yet, as the games aren’t scheduled to release until 2027. It’s common for retailers to use placeholder prices this far out from a game’s launch, and the official price will probably be determined closer to the release date.

It wouldn’t be surprising if Pokemon Winds and Waves were priced at $80. Pokemon is a massive Nintendo franchise, and each new game consistently sells millions of copies. Nintendo could set the price at $80 to maximize profits, knowing that dedicated fans will likely buy the games regardless.

Currently, we don’t have much official information about Pokemon Winds and Waves. Besides the fact that they’ll be released exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027, most details about these games are still unknown. Hopefully, Nintendo will share more information about what players can expect in the coming months.
