Slowly but surely, Nintendo has been giving fans around the world information on how they will be able to get the Switch 2. North America, Europe, China and Japan are just a handful of the regions that now have information on the pricing and pre-ordering. The company isn’t done yet, however. Some countries are still waiting on that very information.
In fact, earlier today, Nintendo confirmed information for Brazil and Mexico. Both countries, unsurprisingly, will be able to get the Switch 2 on June 5th. In Mexico, the console itself will cost 13,599 pesos, or $692. The Mario Kart World bundle, meanwhile, will be 14,899 pesos, which is the equivalent of $758. Mario Kart World itself will cost 1,999 pesos, or around $102. Donkey Kong Bananza will be 1,749 pesos, or $89. Pre-orders will go live on April 25th.
As for Brazil, the pricing is even worse. The Nintendo Switch 2’s price in Brazil is R$4,499.90, which is around $788. If you buy the console via the Mario Kart World bundle, it will cost R$4,799.90, which would be $841. Mario Kart World on its own will be R$499.90, or $87, both digitally and physically. Lastly, Donkey Kong Bananza will be R$439.90, or $77. As for when Brazilians will be able to pre-order, a date wasn’t given. All that was stated is that pre-orders will begin in select retailers “very soon”.
Horrendous prices for all of us latin americans. Unfortunately, the dollar exchange rate ALWAYS screw us over time and time again, because back then, games did costed the equivalent of 60 us dollars, after like 2008, they started rising it to 65, then 70 and now they are at their worst yet, 80 to 100, all because these companies never try to do regional prices so at least balance the price so we can afford them, no, it always have to be based on that cursed dollar price. Terrible, absolutely terrible, I hate this.
it has nothing to do with dollar exchange, it’s just taxes + retail margin. Brazil’s issue is the absurd tax we pay in every little thing, which is not discriminated in the bill, so most people don’t know how much tax we are paying. Just look for a tax calculator and you will see that the price increase compared to other countries is purely taxes.
Now that’s a price tag worthy of saying “lower the price” over
The worse is that salaries are lower. Is ironic how the people who win less must pay more for some reason.
That’s terrible
