The wait for the rumored Nintendo Switch 2 is predicted to be ending this 2024, but how much should you set aside right now to be able to afford it when it drops?
According to Dr. Serkan Toto, the CEO of Kantan Games, which acts as a consultant for Japanese gaming companies, and a respected “Nintendo expert,” the Nintendo Switch 2 may cost USD400 or PHP 22,000+ while games will most likely get a price increase too at USD70 or PHP 3,900+.

“The time is finally here for a Switch successor, even though I can say a ‘Pro’ model actually did exist and certain developers were already working with the dev kit,” Toto wrote for GamesIndustry.biz. “I believe the next hardware will drop next year for $400. There is a high chance that games will cost more, too: $70. The next system is also likely to be an iteration rather than a revolution. Nintendo might add some bells and whistles to the device, but it will be similar to the current Switch. And because there is Pokémon, and Pokémon is associated with handheld gaming, there is no way on earth Nintendo will drop the portability feature for their next big thing.”
Another analyst predicted that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be released toward the end of 2024.
However, it’s yet to be confirmed if the Nintendo Switch 2 is a real thing and Nintendo has repeatedly denied its existence in the past. But tech experts are adamant that it’s coming—and a lot of Nintendo gamers are hoping it is too.
