(Image source: Nintendo)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Numerous unknowns remain about the Switch 2, even two months after Nintendoofficially unveiledthe device by way of a short YouTube video. Officially, the company has outlined that it will be revealing more information on April 2 during its next Nintendo Direct event. There are suggestions thata separate eventfocusing on launch titles could occur between now and April 2, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, Nintendo has not confirmed how much the Switch 2 will cost yet. Nonetheless, evidenceemerged last monththat the console could cost upwards of CAD$499.99, which currently converts to around $349.99. With that being said, various analysts anticipate the Switch 2 costing$400 or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&gt;&gt;&gt;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.batterymap.co.nz\/detail-Nintendo-1746905-OXY-003\">OXY-003 Battery for Nintendo Game Boy Micro OXY-001 Y76NB01<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To that end, a Dutch retailer has opened pre-orders for Nintendo&#8217;s long-awaited console. While the original Switch(curr. $299 on Amazon)sells for just under \u20ac300 in the Netherlands, Game-stock has priced the Switch 2 at \u20ac499 (~$539). However, the disclaimer on its listing clarifies that this pricing is an estimate and not final. Game-stock also expects the Switch 2 to reach at least Belgium and the Netherlands &#8216;in mid-June&#8217;, although this is speculative too. As a result, it appears this early pre-sale is more optimistic than anything else. The full quote from Game-stock is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Please note: This is a Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order. The exact delivery date, price and how many will be delivered is not yet known. Our current estimate is that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be available in the Netherlands and Belgium in mid-June this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Delivery is done in order of order: whoever orders first will receive his console first on the day of release. As soon as there is more information, we will update our page immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we cannot deliver all orders or if you want to cancel the order, you will immediately receive a refund. The price for the pre-order is 499 euros, if the console is cheaper in the end, you will of course be refunded the difference.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/fileadmin\/_processed_\/7\/d\/csm_Nintendo-Switch-2-preorders-dutch-retailer-4_94181c48b6.jpg\" alt=\"(Image source: Game-stock)\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/fileadmin\/_processed_\/7\/d\/csm_Nintendo-Switch-2-preorders-dutch-retailer-4_2b5cd9bc65.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/fileadmin\/_processed_\/d\/e\/csm_Nintendo-Switch-2-preorders-dutch-retailer-2_86eee7b437.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&gt;&gt;&gt;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.batterymap.co.nz\/detail-Nintendo-1746903-WUP-003\">WUP-003 Battery for Nintendo Wii U GamePad WUP003 WUP-012<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Source(s)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Game-stock<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nintendo has hardly revealed anything about the Switch 2 yet.
