Nintendo's been making plans to stop scalpers from hoarding Switch 2 consoles and then reselling them for extortionate prices, like they did with the PS5 launch, but the publisher might not have even needed to - fans are fighting off scalpers all on their own, too.

After an agonizing wait, Nintendo finally revealed more details on the Switch 2 during a Direct presentation on the morning of April 2nd. While Nintendo told us very little in the official reveal of the console in January, the company announced during the Direct that the Switch 2 would launch on June 5th and cost $449.99.

Nintendo will retail the Switch 2 for $449.99 at launch, which is significantly higher than the original Switch's $299 price tag. A separate bundle that includes the new "Mario Kart World" game will also be available for $499.99.

Nintendo has now stated that this is not the case, and that Switch 2 Edition games will contain both the game and the upgrade on the cartridge itself.

Online chatter suggested Switch 2 Edition boxes would only include a Switch 1 card and a download code for the next-gen enhancements

Grand Bazaar releases on August 27 for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. Preorders for two editions are live now at Amazon and Best Buy.

The Switch 2's price 'is appropriate for the value of the machine and the gameplay experience overall,' says Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser.
