Nintendo Switch 2 preorder trade-in deal from GameStop leaks
Today's the day so many Switch fans have been waiting for. The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct event is just a few hours away, and that's when we'll learn everything about the next-gen handheld. For some fans, the most important details aren't the specs or the price, as they'll buy the Switch 2 console without caring about any of that. These fans are dying to hear when the Switch 2 preorders start and when it will finally be released.
But the price will be important to some buyers, and there's some good news there. Reports estimate the Switch 2 hardware will cost just $399. I say "just" because that's a great price point compared to the original model. The original Switch cost $299 when it was released eight years ago. Account for inflation, and the $399 price tag is an amazing offer.
Nintendo might make most of its money from Switch 2 games, particularly exclusive games. Reports say exclusive Switch 2 titles might cost $10 more than Switch 1 exclusives, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
According to a last-minute Switch 2 preorder deal leak from GameStop, there might be a way to make some of that money back. Apparently, the retailer is willing to give you up to $175 for the Switch 1 trade-in, which is almost 50% of the rumored Switch 2 price.
However, there's one big reason why future Switch 2 owners might not want to trade in their old consoles, and it all has to do with that mysterious C button on the next-gen handheld.
