Nintendo's new console already appears on the virtual shelves of great retailers in Brazil. Nintendo Switch 2 pre-sale began on Tuesday (30) with a reduced price for those who make cash payment via Pix. The edition that accompanies the title Mario Kart World can be purchased for R $ 4,463.90 , promotional value compared to the suggested price of R $ 4,799.90 .
Amazon and Kabum stores participate in pre-sale with similar conditions: 7% discount and free shipping. Delivery is scheduled to start from June 5 , the same date as the official launch in other countries. The movement indicates Nintendo's growing interest in placing Brazil among priority markets, maintaining the simultaneous launch to the rest of the world.
The expectation around the console already causes movement in the initial stock, and it would not be surprised to see the game with game included rapidly, as has happened in previous releases of the brand.
Installment payment and payment alternatives maintain a price full
Despite the discount for cash payments, the consumer who prefer to install will find the product for full value. In both Amazon and Kabum, the console can be bought in interest -free plots - up to 10 times first and 12 times in the second.
This price difference for those who divide the value turns out to be a point of attention, especially considering the current economic scenario. Even so, many enthusiasts should opt for installment to ensure the new device already at the launch. Nintendo's history shows that the first waves of consoles often run out fast, which presses those interested to ensure purchase as soon as possible.
With the dollar still on high level, the value of Switch 2 in Brazil follows the trend of other imported products, which explains part of the final amount charged.
National version accompanies worldwide launch and has two editions
Nintendo has officialized that Switch 2 will be released in Brazil and abroad on the same day: June 5th . The traditional version of the console, without games included, will arrive with suggested value of $ 4,499.90 . Already the package with Mario Kart World leaves for $ 4,799.90 , or for $ 4,463.90 with discount on Pix.
In the United States, the values are $ 449.99 for the default model and $ 499.99 for the game editing. Even applying rates and exchange rate conversion, the difference between markets is still considerable. Thus, it positions Switch 2 among new generation consoles with higher values in the country - although it does not exceed the price of PS5 Pro , found for up to R $ 7 thousand in national retail.
Still, the arrival of the new switch simultaneously to the rest of the planet reinforces the interest of the Japanese brand to keep Brazil as part of the main calendar of releases, something not always seen in previous years.
Game prices rise and reach close to $ 500
Along with the release of the console, the games also reach Brazilian stores with new values that draw attention. Mario Kart World , which accompanies the console's bundle, will be sold separately for $ 499.90 . Donkey Kong Bananza , another highlight of the initial line-up, will cost $ 439.90 . Both titles will have menus and subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese, an increasingly common requirement in the national market.
Abroad, the same titles arrive for $ 80 and $ 70 , respectively. Nintendo stated that values vary according to the size of the project and development time, which indicates a new price policy for its launches in Brazil.
Game prices raising a significant change to the brand audience, which historically lived with slightly more affordable releases. Now, the Brazilian consumer will need to better plan purchases, considering that a new game can cost the equivalent of 10% of the minimum wage.
