Alleged insiders have leaked the price and release date for the Nintendo (NTDOY) Switch 2. These rumors claim gamers will spend between $400 and $500 to purchase the video game hardware and software company’s upcoming handheld/home console hybrid.
A second report says the console will launch with two price options: one at $450 and another at $500. It’s unknown why there’s a more expensive option, but the leaker claims this might be a bundle including a new Mario Kart game. That would make sense as Nintendo did show off an unnamed Mario Kart game in its Switch 2 reveal trailer. It could also be the more expensive model offers a larger internal storage capacity.
When Will the Nintendo Switch 2 Be Released?
One of the leakers behind the possible price of the Nintendo Switch 2 also provided a release window for the console. While some rumors point to the new Nintendo Switch releasing anytime between June and September 2025, this leaker narrows it down to June.
Gamers and investors will learn more about the Switch 2 in an upcoming Nintendo Direct. The company scheduled this for April 2, 2025, promising to provide more details about the console. It’s unclear if this will include new games being released for the Switch 2 or if it will only focus on the hardware and features of the device.
What is clear is the excitement investors have for the Nintendo Switch 2’s release. The stock is up 3.65% as of this writing and 8.63% year-to-date. Shares of NTDOY have also increased 19.68% over the past year.
Is NTDOY Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold?
Turning to Wall Street, only four-star Jefferies analyst Atul Goyal has covered Nintendo over the last three months. He has a Buy rating and a $17.20 price target for NTDOY shares, representing a potential 8.11% upside.
