  • The console will launch at the previously announced price of $449.99, with the Mario Kart World bundle priced at $499.99.
  • Pricing for launch titles Mario Kart World ($79.99) and Donkey Kong Bananza ($69.99) remains unchanged.
  • Accessory prices have been adjusted, with the Joy-Con now $94.99, the Pro Controller $84.99, and the Switch 2 camera $54.99.
