Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order leak hints at pricing

The leak comes from a Nintendo Switch 2 Discord server, where a user, DoNotDisturb, leaked pricing details, and more, about the new handheld console. The X user, @Switch2Stock, managed to take screenshots before it was deleted. According to DoNotDisturb's post, the prices that were previously leaked are wrong.

This user reportedly works with a French retailer, Micromania, and seemingly claimed the new console will cost €399, unless there are some last-minute changes. The European pricing converts to around $410, which is probably with VAT included. In the United States, the pricing could be $399 without VAT, which is $100 more than the price of the original Switch.

However, DoNotDisturb doesn't specify the exact date when we can expect the pre-orders to go live but expects it to happen soon.

The Discord post by DoNotDisturb also mentions that there will be one first-party game from Nintendo, along with 25 provisional games from third parties. These titles will be priced between €69 and €70, and they could be put up for pre-order much sooner than people realize. They believe the first-party title could be a real game changer and is expected to sell in large numbers.

The game in question could reportedly be the new Mario Kart, which was shown running on the Switch 2 in the video announcement. The leaker also mentions the Nintendo Switch Online subscription pricing will increase but doesn't mention how much.
