Nintendo Switch Expected to Launch in June with Price Above $400

Analysts predict the new console will feature a strong game lineup and potentially set sales records despite its higher cost.

The Nintendo Switch 2 will be officially unveiled during a Nintendo Direct on April 2, 2025, with analysts expecting a launch in June.
The console's price is predicted to range between $400 and $500, making it the most expensive Nintendo system to date, due to increased component costs and potential tariffs.
Nintendo is reportedly preparing 6 to 8 million units for launch day, potentially setting a record for the biggest console launch in history.
The first-year game lineup is expected to include major titles like Mario Kart 9, a new 3D Mario, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Metroid Prime 4, and third-party blockbusters such as Call of Duty.
Backwards compatibility with original Switch games has been confirmed, though not all titles may be supported on the new system.
