Could Nintendo actually revisit the dual-screen magic of the DS and 3DS handhelds with the upcoming Switch 2? This gives me hope.

Everyone has speculation on what the Nintendo Switch 2 price will be. Some people, analysts, get paid for their research-driven speculation though. To this end, recently one industry analyst came out and gave their forecast, revealing they expect the Nintendo Switch 2 to cost $400.

Since 2018, Switch owners have been able to spend Gold Points to get a discount on digital purchases on the Nintendo Switch eShop at a rate of 1 cent per Gold Point spent. This allowed the program to act as a digital cashback scheme, with frequent digital purchasers often able to buy full games using Gold Points alone.

Two major retailers have already revealed that they will offer preoders for the Nintendo Switch 2. Here's when you will be able to preorder the next-gen console soon

An analyst predicts that Nintendo will price the Switch 2 at $399, a sweet spot for the highly-anticipated handheld console.

That includes physical and digital Nintendo Switch 1 games. However, the video game giant explained that some games may not be compatible.
