The Nintendo Switch 2 costs €499.99 in Nintendo’s own European My Nintendo Store, after a price increase that took effect on 1 September 2026. This guide covers the current store prices as of 20 October 2026, the bundles, what you get in the box, the two battery versions sold in the EU and where the price went up outside Europe.
How much the Switch 2 costs in Europe
We checked the German My Nintendo Store on 20 October 2026. Prices include VAT:
| Product | My Nintendo Store (DE) |
|---|---|
| Nintendo Switch 2 | €499.99 |
| Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World | €549.99 |
| Nintendo Switch 2 + Pokémon Pokopia | €539.99 |
| Nintendo Switch – OLED Model (for comparison) | €349.99 |
On that day the standalone Switch 2 was listed as out of stock in the store. Retailers set their own prices, so what you pay in a shop can differ. Treat the table as Nintendo’s own reference price and check the retailer before you buy.
The September 2026 price increase
On 8 May 2026 Nintendo announced in a press release that it was adjusting prices “in response to changes in market conditions”. The changes in that announcement:
| Region | Old price | New price | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Europe (My Nintendo Store) | €469.99 | €499.99 | 1 September 2026 |
| United States | $449.99 | $499.99 | 1 September 2026 |
| Canada | CA$629.99 | CA$679.99 | 1 September 2026 |
| Japan | ¥49,980 | ¥59,980 | 25 May 2026 |
The price of the original Nintendo Switch did not change in Europe.
Bundles and release dates
A bundle is the console plus a game. The game comes as a download code, not as a physical card. Bundles differ by market. On 20 October 2026 the product page in the German My Nintendo Store offered the console alone and bundles with Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, Pokémon Pokopia and Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, and listed the Mario Kart World bundle separately at €549.99.
For the Czech market, Nintendo’s official distributor lists these bundles on nintendo.cz, with their release dates:
- Switch 2 + Mario Kart World (5 June 2025)
- Switch 2 + Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (16 October 2025)
- Switch 2 + Pokémon Pokopia (2 July 2026)
- Switch 2 + Nintendo Switch Sports Resort + 3 months of Nintendo Switch Online (22 October 2026)
- Switch 2 + Mario Kart World + 3 months of Nintendo Switch Online (29 October 2026)
- The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition (29 October 2026, limited edition)
In the My Nintendo Store the Mario Kart World bundle cost €50 more than the console alone on 20 October 2026. Mario Kart World is also the best-selling Switch 2 game according to Nintendo’s own figures. For the rest of the line-up, see our guide to Switch 2 games.
The two Czech-market bundles with a subscription include three months of Nintendo Switch Online, which you need for GameChat since 31 March 2026. On its own, a three-month individual membership cost €7.99 in the German Nintendo eShop on 20 October 2026. Every plan is broken down in our Nintendo Switch Online guide.

Two battery versions in the EU
Two versions of the console are sold in the European Union, and they differ in the battery:
| Version | Battery | Weight without Joy-Con | Battery replacement |
|---|---|---|---|
| user-replaceable battery | 5172 mAh | 441 g | by you; Nintendo says replacement kits will come to its store “in the future” |
| non-replaceable battery | 5220 mAh | 401 g | for a fee via Nintendo support |
If a replaceable battery matters to you, ask the retailer which version they are selling before you pay.
Buy now or wait?
There is no clear-cut answer. What we can say for sure: Nintendo raised the price in its European store on 1 September 2026 rather than lowering it, and on the Czech market two new subscription bundles arrive at the end of October. If you are still deciding between a Switch 2 and a handheld PC, our comparison of handheld consoles walks through the differences.
