There’s a special edition of the Switch 2 in relation to commemorating the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda, which is expected to release around October 29 2026. Keep in mind this is discussing the Region Locked version of the console rather than the Global Switch 2 everyone else owns. I mean, you can import it upon release but comes with caveats (must have a JP Nintendo Account and speak / understand Japanese).
Prices will differ based on region upon release for the same thing, which is like why:
- US: $519.99 (excl. Sales Tax)
- EU: 519,99€ (inc. VAT)
- UK: £419.99 (inc. VAT)
- AU: A$799.95 (inc. GST)
Will you buy the console when it releases?
As cool as it looks… No. Now that many of their game cartridges are basically empty download keys I see no reason to buy something I can’t truly own anymore. The Switch and PS4 were the last mainstream consoles I’ll ever buy. RIP physical media.
