Nintendo Switch 2, the price quickly exceeds € 700: what you will really pay to take advantage of it

If you have not yet pre -ordered the Nintendo Switch 2 -Who launches for the record this Thursday, June 5 -, and that you wait a bit before you offer it, you may want to know how exactly the new solution of the manufacturer costs. Indeed, beyond the price of the console, it is necessary to take into account that of the games and accessories essential (or optional).

A price oscillating between € 470 and … much more

More expensive than its big sister, the Nintendo Switch 2 sells alone at € 470. Impossible, except good plan, to spend less. If you only want to play games from the first switch on it, using the Joy-Con provided, no need to spend more. But this is highly improbable.

First of all, few Nintendo fans will not throw themselves on Mario Kart World. The new racing game is sold alone at € 80 in digital or € 90 in physics. To save, a pack bringing together the console and the game is offered at € 510. The other big novelty,Donkey Kong Bananzadoes not take advantage of a pack, and is offered at € 70/80. A new high price of the Nintendo games with which we will have to get used to.

This is especially the case for lovers of “classic” controllers with the pro controller, even if the Joy-Con 2 promise to be larger and comfortable to use. If that of the old console works (with Huge restrictions), offering yourself that of the Switch 2 can be better, but it has a price: 90 €. The GameCube controller is offered at € 70. For ruffles for Mario Kart, count 20 € for a batch of two. Finally, the charging medium for Joy-Con 2 (sold separately at € 90) is offered at € 35.

Other optional accessories can quickly increase the bill. If you want to take advantage of Mario Kart World With your friends via the new GameChat system, head to the camera at € 60. Need (probably in the long term given the Games weight) More storage? You will necessarily need a microSD Express card, offered (in particular) by Nintendo at € 60. Do you plan to take your console everywhere? Give him a protective cover, billed from € 25 per Big N (but thirds thirds will be offered).

In short you will understand, if it is quite possible to take advantage of your Nintendo Switch as it is, it will probably be necessary to resign yourself to invest, at least in a second step, in some accessories. Enough to increase the total invoice of several tens, even hundreds of euros depending on your needs.
