15 days later, the Nintendo Switch 2 is still at the heart of a controversy concerning its Price. The console that will introduce the new generation of Nintendo is currently more expensive than a digital PS5 at its launch, and some use this comparison – although fallacious – to dissuade the purchase. Some others still think of pre -ordering the machine, and still others have already gone to the checkout.
Although the console price is called into question, few people reflect to the subsidiary expenses that the Nintendo Switch 2 generatesjust its launch. Here is what you will cost in total the Nintendo Switch 2 by understanding everything you would need.
The Nintendo Switch + a game
Only the console is officially sold at a price of € 469.99. But let’s be realistic, although almost all of the Switch 1 games are retrocompatible, very few people pass to a new generation to only play with old titles. This is why the vast majority of players will fall for Switch 2 and at least one game. Among all those who will be available at launch, the choice will be made quickly on Mario Kart Worlda must and probably the most enticing of all.
Good news, you can already save on this purchase by opting for the Bundle Switch 2 + Mario Kart World propose at € 509.99 by Nintendo. For the purposes of our calculation, we will therefore leave on this basis.
+ a second controller
Of course, the Switch ecosystem is considered to be largely family. After 8 years of existence, there are only very few households in which there are only one pair of controllers, for a user alone, or accompanied by a game partner as much as possible. We consider in fact that most players will be tempted by a second controller to be able to play with friends or family.
The pro controller of the Nintendo Switch 2 is offered at the price of € 89.99. It is exactly the same price as for an additional pair of joy. We can reasonably add this price, whatever the choice of the player at the time of purchase, to the final note. It is good to notice that if you Buy Joy-Con, you may also need additional support at a price of € 34.99. But this remains completely optional.
+ The SD carte
The Nintendo Switch 2 has a much larger storage capacity compared to its little sister. 256 GB of free to download your favorite games. But it turns out that in most of the time, this is not enough to store your entire library there, especially if you plan to exploit the power of the console to download much more gourmet games, such as Cyberpunk 2077 or Elden Ring. To overcome this difficulty, you will need a compatible SD card. Only express models are, and are displayed at the price of € 59.99.
+ the camera
The transition to the new generation is accompanied by some exclusive accessories. This is the case of the camera which is, so to speak, the only great novelty of the Nintendo Switch 2. How to skip the course without going through this purchase which finalizes all the experience? Two models are available for pre -orders, one of which is particularly pretty at the price of € 39.99, but which you will not advise you to buy. Indeed, its performance is well below the classic camera, sold a little more expensive, at € 59.99.
+ The rest
When there are no more, there are still. This represents almost all of the accessories sold by Nintendo for everything that is hardware. But there is still a lot to buy even if you had a switch 1. We especially think of screen protection but also of the transport case. Nintendo its own version € 24.99 for portable modeand € 79.99 to embark everything you need in the living room mode. We will only remember the first option which is much more popular with players in general. You are saved from dispensable purchases such as performance accessories for controllers.
Conclusion
For the vast majority of players, the Nintendo Switch will not cost € 459. With the game Mario Kart which seems to be the only essential for launch, as well as a second pair of controllers because the Nintendo Switch 2 is above all a family console, the lot should come back at least € 599 for a very classic use.
After a survey with our loved ones and their consumption habits, we can easily arrive at a higher bill. Just for our personal use, if we had to go to the checkout today, the note would rise at € 685 (console + Mario Kart World + Joy-Con + SD card + Small transport case).
Purchases of additional accessories are obviously not compulsory, but there is no need to veil the face regarding the standard needs of the players who make up Nintendo customers. Suffice to say that the complete experience of the Switch 2 will cost you very dear, and it is good news to know that the various purchases will be spread over several years.
On your side, we advise you to Test all the combinations that apply to your situationand to think carefully about what you need, and what you can find in third -party resellers to save money.
