Screenshots from a leaker reveal that the Nintendo Switch 2 is selling for close to $40,000 on the black market in China.

Recent reports suggest early Nintendo Switch 2 units are sold on the Chinese black market, though their price may deter fans.

A Canadian Costco employee found a mysterious product listing for a Nintendo Switch that might have revealed the retail price.

That's cheaper than the early rumored Switch 2 price of $399, though it's possible that we could still see the console launched at USD$399 in the U.S. and CAD$499 in Canada, as price parity between different regions can sometimes vary.

It's worth keeping in mind all this is an unverified leak, which came via Famiboard – but they do have the receipts in the form of photos (above – though this could have been faked for excitement, I guess). Hopefully all will become clear during Nintendo Direct on Wednesday April 2 (see how to watch this special Switch 2 event here).

The common misconception that Nintendo consoles are for kids has hurt the overall appeal of these systems, and that needs to change with the Switch 2.
