In Japan, gamers can get a Switch 2 for about $343, but it only supports the Japanese language and won’t work outside the country. Nintendo is reportedly trying to address weak yen.
US gamers will pay $449.99 for Nintendo’s Switch 2, a significant price bump from the $299 first-generation console. But in Japan, the console will be more affordable.
Nintendo developed a Japanese edition of the console, which will launch for 49,980 yen or $343 USD. The catch? It only functions in Japan, Nintendo’s home country, so US travelers can’t pick one up on their next trip to Tokyo.
« Japanese is the only supported language. Only Nintendo accounts with ‘Country/Region’ set to ‘Japan’ can be linked », Nintendo says of the Japanese Switch 2.
