Thu Feb 27 14:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Nintendo Switch 2 Price and Release Date Leaks Deemed Unreliable
**London, UK** – Rumors surrounding the price and release date of the Nintendo Switch 2 are swirling, but a former Nintendo sales lead has poured cold water on the speculation. According to a recent episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast, retailers, including major players like Walmart Canada and Target, possess virtually no concrete information about the upcoming console’s pricing or launch date. The source stated that retailers may only receive a launch window (e.g., a specific quarter) at best, with precise details likely coming only a week or two before the official release.
While many online listings are circulating with price estimates, these are purely speculative. TechRadar predicts a price point around $399.99 / £349.99 / AU$699.95, slightly higher than the Switch OLED, but still within an affordable range. This prediction aligns with Nintendo’s own statements in an investor Q&A confirming a price point in line with customer expectations. However, concrete details remain elusive until an official announcement, potentially during a Nintendo Switch 2 Direct on April 2nd. Until then, gamers are advised to treat all online speculation with caution.
