The Nintendo Switch 2 is coming out on June 5 in Canada and will cost $629 for the base model with 256GB of storage.
If you want to get the same console with a copy of Mario Kart Worlds, the price is $699.
So far, there are no pre-orders for the console, but Nintendo’s Canadian website has shared the pricing, and a recent Nintendo Direct presentation has shown off many launch games and most of the hardware information.
A story on Business Insider in the U.S. lists pre-orders starting on April 9, so I’d expect Canada to follow suit and open our pre-orders on the same day.
For context, the first Switch was $399 when it launched in Canada in 2017. Adjusted for inflation, that’s around $501. The Switch OLED is $450 in Canada, so this new version is a considerable premium over that. It should also be noted that the new Switch 2 doesn’t feature an OLED screen.
Make sure to read our prior coverage for all the details, but you can expect the new console to offer 4K support, a larger screen, magnetic Joy-Cons, a better kickstand, and faster internal storage.
