Nintendo Switch 2 Preorders Start April 24 — But $95 Joy-Cons?!

Nintendo just officially announced the Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order date for the United States and Canada, and it's causing quite a stir. In this video, I break down everything you need to know about Nintendo Switch 2 pricing, accessories, and pre-order details, including the potential red flags that many fans are noticing.

With Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders starting April 24, 2025, there's a lot to unpack—especially with the Nintendo Switch 2 price set at $449.99 and the bundle priced at $499.99. But what's really grabbing attention is the massive price increase on Switch 2 accessories. We're talking $95 for a Joy-Con pair, $85 for the Pro Controller, $40 charging grip, and an outrageous $85 all-in-one carrying case. Is Nintendo trying to price out its own fanbase?

In this video, I provide a nuanced analysis of the Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order announcement, how tariffs might affect hardware and accessory costs, and whether or not Switch 2 accessory prices are justified. I also question the implications behind Nintendo saying prices may change "depending on market conditions"—does this open the door for Nintendo Switch 2 games to become more expensive in the future?

This isn’t just a rant—it’s a real discussion about Nintendo Switch 2 pricing strategy, the potential impact on gamers, and whether early adopters are getting the short end of the stick.
