Nintendo Switch 2 fans can breathe a sigh of relief after hearing that Nintendo plans to implement anti-scalper measures for the console’s launch.

In a recent statement, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa emphasized that they will use their accumulated experience to tackle the scalper problem.

While this approach has been promised before, Nintendo seems determined to make sure genuine customers get a fair chance at purchasing the new console.

Retailers are already offering pre-orders for the Switch 2, with an Italian retailer suggesting a price of €364.99/£307, marking a significant increase from the original Switch’s price.

This price is likely a placeholder, with expectations of a higher price at release. Despite this, some fans remain hopeful that Nintendo’s production strategy will minimize the opportunity for scalpers to dominate the market, though it remains to be seen if they can meet demand.

Nintendo’s official event on April 2, 2025, will provide more details on the console’s launch date, pricing, and available games.

Until then, fans will have to stay patient, hoping for a smooth release and a fair chance to secure their Switch 2 without scalper interference.
