GameStop has revealed an updated list of Nintendo Switch 2 prices, confirming how much gamers will have to pay for the console, some of its games, and various accessories. The Nintendo Switch 2's initial pricing information was a bit confusing. Nintendo made no mention of the console's price during the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct, and afterward, there was misinformation that Mario Kart World was going to cost upwards of $90.
The Nintendo Switch 2 pricing situation became even more confusing after the console's pre-order date was delayed. Nintendo delayed Switch 2 pre-orders in the US due to the Trump administration's tariffs, as it wanted to assess what impact they would have. Nintendo has now announced a new Switch 2 pre-order date of April 24, and while the console itself won't be getting more expensive, fans will have to pay more for some Switch 2 accessories.

Video game retailer GameStop has now provided a helpful list of items that Nintendo fans will have the chance to pre-order on April 24, along with their updated prices. As laid out by GameStop, the Switch 2 price is staying the same. Gamers will have the chance to choose between a standard console for $449.99 and one that includes Mario Kart World for $499.99. Since Mario Kart World costs $79.99, getting the Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle will effectively save fans $30.
