Summary
- Nintendo Switch 2 consoles in Scandinavia are priced $100 more than other regions.
- Scandinavian fans are considering buying from neighboring countries to save money.
- Distributor Bergsala AB in Scandinavia faces criticism for overcharging customers.
Since its reveal last week, the Switch 2 has been unable to escape conversation around its pricing. Nintendo is implementing a strange vari🍸able pricing strategy on its first-party games, with some costing over $80, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:generating backlash from fans, pre-orders were delayed in North America because of Trump's now-delayed tariffs, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo President Doug Bowser ef♏fectively said, "if you can't afford the Switch 2, just play 😼the original🐼". It's been a bad look for the company.
Nintendo Contradicts Prior Messaging Regarding What's Included On Its Switch 2 Edition Carts
It seems the full games, including the Switch 2 upgrades, will🍃 be included on the cart after all.
But, while prospective Switch 🎉2 owners in North America and the UK have been unhappy with prices, it could be a lot worse, as Scandinavian fans are being asked to fork out over $150 more than most other countries.
Finnish, Norwegian, Danish, And Swedish Switch 2's Are A Lot More Expensive
First no🔯ted by (via ), the prices of the Nintendo Switch 2 in Scandinavian countries are a lot higher than in the rest of the world.
User Accomplished-Bar-Bot shared the prices of the ☂console in Norway and its Scandinavian counterparts, and things are looking bleak:
- Norway: 6695 NOK ($616)
- Finland: €589 ($649)
- Sweden: 6800 SEK ($681)
- Denmark: 6199 DKK ($620)
It's a sordid state of affairs. In the US, the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Switch 2 is expected🔜 to ⭕retail for $450, tariffs depending, and in th﷽e UK, the pre-orders have gone live for around £395.99 ($509)🔥.
While the cost of living is certainly higher in Scandinavian countries, these prices are relatively extortionate and can likely be attributed to the region's distributors, Bergsala AB. Nintendo Life reports that this company holds exclusive distribution rights to Nintendo products i🦄n the region, and has often faced criticism for overcharging its customers, pocketing a healthy margin for itself.
Things are looking so dire for those living in the aforementioned countries, that some prospective buyers are a cheap plane ticket to a nearby country to pick up the console at a cheaper price, notin🔥g that with budget airlines, it would be relatively easy to do so.
Oh, Nintendo.
