Nintendo Switch 2: Arriving June 5 in Australia for $699
Nintendo has detailed its new Switch 2 console, and it looks like a significant upgrade. But the games are going to cost you...
While I was letting my old bones rest overnight, the folks at Nintendo were busy unveiling all the details of its next console.
Going on sale on 5 June for an RRP of $699 for the console, the Switch 2 is available to pre-order now from a bunch of Aussie retailers like EB Games and JB Hi-Fi.
While that makes it the most expensive Nintendo console launch in Australia by a pretty significant margin, it does put it in line with the likes of Sony and Microsoft's consoles, and seems reasonable in the context of its specs.
If pre-order information is any indication, the price of Switch 2 games is also getting a significant increase. The new Mario Kart World game can be ordered for $119.95, which is a $40 increase over the launch price of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
