- A former Nintendo employee discussed apparent price leaks Nintendo Switch 2

- He added that retailers will probably learn about the details at the same time as we make
Players loving leaks are wary, it seems that we should not put a lot of stock in retailers with regard to the potential price or the release date of the Nintendo Switch 2.
Speaking in a recent episode of the Podcast Kit & Krysta, a former Nintendo sales manager discussed the many online announcements of various retailers who seem to give us an idea of the quantity of Nintendo Switch 2.
When he was asked how many retailers know the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 at this stage, he simply replied that they could “nothing, certainly not the price” and “almost certainly not a launch date other than perhaps be a quarter “.
He then described retailers like Walmart Canada as among “the last people who will know anything about the price” and mentions that, although some companies can speculate or guess, “they do not have this information”.
“There is no way that even as Target in the United States does not know anything,” he continued. “No one knows anything until we all know the launch date. When we all know the launch date, it is probably at this time that the retailers will be known to the date of launch […] Or maybe like a week or two in advance. “”
Speculations on the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 have been endemic since its first revelation. We predict that it will fall in approximately $ 399.99 / £ 349.99 / $ 699.95 in. This would make it a little more expensive than the Nintendo Switch OLED, which was launched at $ 349.99 / £ 309.99 £ 539.95 to the, to take into account improved specifications, but not a figure which, in our opinion, would evaluate most more relaxed audiences in Nintendo.
In an investor Q & R, Nintendo has also confirmed that the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 will be the line with the “affordable prices that customers expect” – which, we suspect, means a price in accordance with our prediction. Of course, it is pure speculation at the moment. We will probably have to wait for the Nintendo Switch 2 directly on April 2 for official confirmation.
