Nintendo Of America President Won’t Commit To Switch 2 Staying $450 After Launch
The Nintendo Switch 2 is almost here, with its U.S. launch set for June 5 at a $450 price point. But how long that number holds steady is now very much in question. With President Trump’s escalating tariffs on imported goods, Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser admitted in a recent interview that the company can’t make long-term promises about the console’s cost.
In a May 15 interview with IGN, Bowser touched on Nintendo’s new San Francisco store, the ongoing expansion of Nintendo theme parks, and of course the Switch 2. When asked specifically whether Nintendo could “commit to Switch 2’s $450 price tag for both launch and beyond,” Bowser’s response was cautious.
“Well, we made a commitment by announcing the pricing of both the single SKU at $449 and then the bundled SKU with Mario Kart World at $499,” he explained. “And we thought it was important that we established that price point, even after further tariffs were announced, to give consumers that comfort. Obviously, it’s still a very fluid situation and it’s difficult to determine what may be happening in the upcoming months or weeks. But our commitment is to find ways within existing or changing market conditions to make our products as obtainable as possible.”
Bowser also emphasized Nintendo’s efforts to keep supply flowing, promising “a continuous flow of product that’ll be available through the holidays.” That’s good news for players worried about shortages—but it still leaves the open question of whether Switch 2 will remain at $450 through the year, or creep upward as tariffs and inflation pressure mount.
🎮 Player Tip
If you’re planning to grab a Switch 2 this year, don’t wait too long. Even if stock holds up through the holidays, the launch price of $450 may not last into 2026. Locking in a preorder now could save you from paying $500—or more—down the road.
