Future Tariff Adjustments May Affect Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing

Nintendo’s big boss, Shuntaro Furukawa, threw out some gems about the Switch 2 — especially the price tag being like a wobbly seesaw if “tariffs change wildly” down the road.

So, Furukawa was chatting with Yahoo! Japan, and guess what? He spilled the beans about wanting the Switch 2 to become the coolest gadget out there, ASAP. But here’s the kicker — if those pesky tariffs go bonkers, he’s thinking, “Hmm, might have to tinker with the price, depending on a bunch of stuff,” though who can really say what that’ll mean in the end?

And just when you thought you could predict their next move, Nintendo’s forecasting a sky-high sale of 15 million Switch 2 consoles by March 2026. But hold on — they’re boosting production like mad, even while admitting, “Yeah, margins are thinner this time around.” Makes you wonder, doesn’t it?

Mark your calendars, because June 5, 2025, the Switch 2 drops at stores everywhere. If you’re in the UK, it’s costing a cool £395.99. Europe’s shelling out €469.99, and in the US, it’s going for $449.99. So, whether you’re saving pennies or just daydreaming about owning one, it’s all unfolding right before us.

Wonder if the trailer will spill any more secrets or just leave us on a cliffhanger…
