Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has commented on the price of the upcoming Switch 2, though the company hasn’t officially revealed the console yet. He also addressed the current status of the original Switch and Nintendo’s approach to meeting demand for the new system.

During a recent Q&A session, Furukawa was asked about inflation and currency changes since the Switch launched in 2017. He admitted that things have shifted and said Nintendo is thinking carefully about pricing.

He stressed that affordability is a key factor, and the company wants to meet expectations while considering multiple factors.

Furukawa didn’t share an exact price for the Switch 2 but confirmed that Nintendo is weighing all possibilities. On the other hand, the original Switch’s price will not change. Nintendo has no plans for a price cut or increase at this time.

He also mentioned that Nintendo is preparing to meet demand for the Switch 2 and will take action against scalpers, which we have already reported on. The company has been criticized for past shortages, and it looks like they’re trying to avoid similar issues when the new system launches.

Mark is the kind of person who gets way too excited about new software updates and can’t resist taking apart gadgets—just to see if they can put them back together. With years of experience in tech journalism and a love for all things digital, Mark writes about the stories behind the screens, from game-changing innovations to the everyday tech that keeps life running smoothly. Outside of work, they’re the go-to “tech support” for friends and family, whether it’s fixing a printer that won’t cooperate or explaining why Grandma’s laptop keeps showing pop-ups. When Mark isn’t glued to their screen, they’re probably building their dream PC, rewatching sci-fi movies for the hundredth time, or testing a gadget that promises to “change everything.” Spoiler: they’ll let you know if it actually does.
