Will Disheartened Nintendo Fans Still Invest $450 in the Switch 2?

During their recent Direct presentation, Nintendo kept us all guessing by not immediately revealing the Switch 2’s price. Instead, they cleverly eased the news into a press release. The anticipated $449 price might catch some off guard, nestled as it was among a flood of details. Alongside this, they revealed a special edition bundle featuring the Switch 2 and a copy of Mario Kart World for $499.99. Interested in just the game? It’s set at $80 on its own.

After these announcements, the internet buzzed with mixed reactions. Conversations sparked everywhere—from online forums to private group chats. Back in January, many expected the console to be priced at $399, a sentiment echoed by nearly 57% of our community in a recent survey. Interestingly, only a small fraction, about 9%, guessed the now-confirmed $449 price tag. So, the big question looms: is the Switch 2 worth $449.99 to you?
