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, which is like why:

US: $520 (excl. Sales Tax)
EU: 540 € (inc. VAT)
UK: £420 (inc. VAT)
AU: $799.95 (inc. GST)

Don’t give Nintendo your money. As a company they have nothing but contempt for gamer freedoms. Yes I understand they playtest the fuck out of their titles so they’re genuinely bug-free and frictionless, but as a former fanboy that doesn’t give them the right to rip off customers and overcharge for everything and make more stupid walled gardens to hold you captive.

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.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but are you saying that the JPN Zelda Switch 2 is region locked? Or are all the Zelda Switch 2’s region locked to their specific region? I was thinking of buying the special edition, but I usually buy game cards from EU, NA and Asian markets so I probably wouldn’t be able to port my SW1 library.

  The difference is from the JP version, you can’t change the region to outside JPN, console language to ENG nor can you log in using a foreign Nintendo account, that’s the part making it region locked.

It’s tempting. I really would love a zelda swtich 2, but not sure if I’ll have that much to put to it then.

  Do you own a Switch 2? If so, how much is it in your region?

    Don’t own one yet. I’m in USA, so $520 is what it’d cost me.
