Is This Italian Retailer’s Switch 2 Pre-Order Price Too Good to Be True?

Lately, a retailer in Italy called Games And Movies started accepting pre-orders for the upcoming Switch 2 at 364.99 euros. This price is only 15 euros higher than the suggested retail price of the current Switch OLED model. The listing has set a tentative date of December 31, 2025, which means that the actual release date remains uncertain.

The retailer’s pre-order section displays an artwork of the console created by fans together with authentic images. A message on the website indicates that customers can lock in a reduced price by placing their order early. However, it should be noted that the retailer cannot ensure delivery on the official launch date due to the possibility of delays from couriers or distributors.

Keep in mind that this pricing isn’t an official confirmation from Nintendo, but some analysts speculate that the new console might carry a higher price tag. However, it’s unlikely to match the price of high-end consoles such as the PS5 Pro. If the rumored cost of €365 turns out to be accurate, many would find it a reasonable price and not too far off from expectations. We’d be delighted if the actual cost ends up being close to this figure.

Since it’s speculated that Nintendo is preparing enough consoles to satisfy launch-day demand, it might not be essential to pre-order one. An upcoming Nintendo Direct on April 2nd may disclose additional information about the console and its games, but we’ll need to wait and find out if they will announce a release date and price.

For now, it’s interesting to think about if Nintendo’s suggested price will end up being more or less than what this seller has listed. We’ll have to wait and see.
