The Switch 2 hardware will still retail for its at first revealed $449.99, together with a $499.99 package consisting of a digital download of Mario Kart WorldNintendo exposed Thursday that the Mario Kart package will just be produced “through Fall 2025,” And will just be offered “while supplies last.” Mario Kart World will retail for $79.99 by itself, whileDonkey Kong Bananza will introduce in July for a $69.99 MSRP.

The majority of market experts anticipated Nintendo to hold the rate for the Switch 2 hardware constant, even as Trump’s extensive tariffs threatened to raise the expense the business sustained for systems integrated in China and Vietnam. “I believe it is now too late for Nintendo to drive up the price further, if that ever was an option in the first place,” Kantan Games’ Serkan Toto informed GamesIndustry.biz. “As far as tariffs go, Nintendo was looking at a black box all the way until April 2, just like everybody else. As a hardware manufacturer, Nintendo most likely ran simulations to get to a price that would make them tariff-proof as much as possible.”

That prices calculus may not hold permanently. “If the tariffs persist, I think a price increase in 2026 might be on the table,” Ampere Analysis’ Piers Harding-Rolls informed GameSpot. “Nintendo will be treading very carefully considering the importance of the US market.”

Because the Switch 2 launch information were revealed previously this month, Nintendo’s main advertising livestreams have actually been swamped with messages pleading the business to “DROP THE PRICE.”
