Nintendo Leaks Say The Switch 2 Will Be Reasonably Priced, The Black Market Says Hold My Beer

by

Just recently, Nintendo announced their preparedness to combat Switch 2 resellers, assuring an ample supply for most buyers. However, it appears the underground market holds a different perspective, as resellers are already selling these consoles at exorbitant prices even before official release. Concerned fans about resellers have been vindicated and it might be wise to hold off on purchases for now.

A recent post on the Gaming Leaks subreddit suggests that an unidentified black market dealer may be offering Nintendo’s latest console for an astonishing $40,000. This is far beyond what a new console typically costs, but it might be pocket change to wealthy gamers eagerly anticipating this system. Regardless, it appears that casual gamers will have to log in early when pre-orders become available.

When Nintendo mentioned their readiness for Switch 2 resellers, fans weren’t overly hopeful about the company’s statement. In an ideal world, the company might produce so many consoles that scalpers would be irrelevant. Yet, with a significant number of people accepting that scalpers would have control over this system, it appears their prediction was accurate.

While fans may not immediately acquire Nintendo’s next-generation console, it appears there will be a delay. Fortunately, Nintendo confirmed that they would continue supporting the original Switch even with the release of its successor, which is reassuring news. However, we’re unsure about the duration of this support, but it seems essential for Switch owners in the future.

Information about the Switch 2 is scant, but there’s a lot of rumored details that might or might not be accurate. Fans are eagerly anticipating if the magnetic analogs will indeed be included, as the original Switch was infamous for its joystick drifting issue. Some leaks also suggest that the joy-cons can be placed anywhere on the new console, which would make it more user-friendly, essentially reducing the chances of mistakes.

Currently, our knowledge is limited to the fact that the rumored Switch 2 is being illegally traded. If you’re seeking additional gloomy gaming tidbits, allow me to express some thoughts on the newly unveiled Days Gone Remastered.
