The Nintendo Switch 2 will be properly released overnight during Nintendo Switch 2 Direct and is scheduled to be released on June 5th, 2025. The console is a decent upgrade of the original, despite having an LCD screen, and then its price increases significantly at launch.
Two Skus will be released. One simply includes the console and the second bundle from the newly announced Mario Kart World.
Nintendo Switch 2 Australian price and release date
The console itself costs $699 here in Australia, and the bundle with Mario Kart World will be on sale for $769 and will be released on June 5th.
Nintendo Switch 2 Console – $699 Aud Nintendo Switch 2 Console + Mario Kart World – $769 aud
Compared to US prices, it wasn’t that bad. Today’s conversion rate of $449 will be over $700, so prices starting at 6 are not bad results.
When will pre-order live for Nintendo Switch 2 Australia?
Other countries have pre-order dates on April 8/9, but this has not yet been announced in Australia, so we don’t know if last week’s pre-order will be next week.
