How Much Will The Nintendo Switch Cost? Expert Estimates Show You Should Start Saving

Nintendo has revealed it's latest gadget, the Switch, and based on early excitement about it's spring release, it's sure to be something gamers everywhere will want to get their hands on. How much will the Nintendo Switch Cost? Nintendo hasn't said, but that hasn't stopped industry watchers from making predictions.

“Nintendo Switch allows gamers the freedom to play however they like,” Reggie Fils-Aime, President and COO for Nintendo of America, said in a statement announcing the new console. “It gives game developers new abilities to bring their creative visions to life by opening up the concept of gaming without boundaries.”

The idea is that the switch combines a home gaming system and a handheld device into one convertible piece of hardware. Nintendo released a video showing the new Switch in action, allowing players to move seamlessly from their living room to anywhere else they could want to game — even with friends.

The Nintendo Switch, according to the video, will be available March 2017. But how much will the Switch cost? Nintendo hasn't confirmed the cost for the convertible console, according to TechRadar, but the credit-rating agency Macquarie predicts the Switch will retail between $300 and $350. But TechRadar pointed out this might be based on outdated information that easily could have changed.

Regardless, if you want to score a Switch of your own, start saving those pennies now. Check out the video of the Switch, which is sure to take the gaming world by storm.
