Nintendo Switch price revealed ahead of March 2017 launch

4.5
According to LetsPlayVideoGames, UK retailer GAME’s prices for Nintendo Switch basic and premium models have been confirmed by two reputable sources.

The basic model will be priced at £199.99, while a premium model with greater internal storage and a game will set you back £249.99. The title included with the latter isn’t confirmed at this time.

Their sources also shared the price of the Switch Pro Controllers, which will retail at £39.99.

While these are prices for one specific UK retailer, apparently “Nintendo is planning for the Switch to be close to direct conversion price comparable across regions, which we have been told is tied into their push for the system to be region free.”

So for U.S. prices we’d be looking at around $250 and $300 for the two options.

I’d say those prices are pretty reasonable. And if The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild isn’t the packed in title, I’ll be more than a little surprised.

Are you willing to fork out for one of the console options? Let us know your thoughts below.

The price for that console is way ver the line for me to buy, also not my machine to play with anymore.

Wouldn't pay near that for a Nintendo console, not my type of gaming.

You can get a one for that much.

I think I'll wait a little before getting this, because the Scorpio is coming out so I have to save my money for that.

That's not a bad price, I was expecting it to be a little more pricey since it's Nintendo. I will consider buying this but not at launch, I will give it some time just to see if the price will go down in the future.

XboxPosted:

Not bad but I will be waiting for the Scorpio.

THQPosted:

Nintendo consoles in my research have bad resell value so if you want one and want it even cheaper, in about a year these will be about 100$ cheaper on eBay if you are comfortable buying second hand

SwiftPosted:

I will only consider it once we get details about the pokemon game that's going to be releasing with the console.
