There’s a special edition of the Switch 2 in relation to commemorating the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda, which is expected to release around October 29 2026. Keep in mind this is discussing the Region Locked version of the console rather than the Global Switch 2 everyone else owns. I mean, you can import it upon release but comes with caveats (must have a JP Nintendo Account and speak / understand Japanese).

Prices will differ based on region upon release for the same thing, which is like why:

  • US: $519.99 (excl. Sales Tax)
  • EU: 519,99€ (inc. VAT)
  • UK: £419.99 (inc. VAT)
  • AU: A$799.95 (inc. GST)

Will you buy the console when it releases?

    I’d consider it if a friend would take my current S2. If Not, I’m Not mad. But I do think about the controller a Lot.

      Why? Is the controller functionally different? If it’s just cosmetic, do you look at your controller while you play?

          It was a genuine question. I dont know if they made the controller suck less or if its still going to drift after 6 months.

            Fair, but I think your phrasing may have come off a bit strong/judgemental.

            It doesn’t seem like (given the number of sales) people were stopped from buying joycons or pro controllers by the stick drift/quality issues.
