Nintendo Switch 2 accessories and price discovered in GameStop system

summary

  • A person claiming to be a GameStop employee has shared images of the chain's Switch 2 accessories.

  • Inside listings include descriptions and prices for SD cards, carrying cases, and glass.

  • This is the latest in a long list of leaks that suggest Nintendo may be announcing its next console soon.

Another day, another reason to believe that Nintendo Switch 2 will be revealed any day now. This time it comes in the form of accessories discovered in what appears to be the back of a GameStop. Someone has shared images of SKUs for various third-party Switch 2 accessories, claiming they were recently added to GameStop's system, presumably meaning they'll be available for purchase soon.

The images come from a Reddit user who claims to be a GameStop employee by Opposite-Chemistry96, who shared the images on the Switch subreddit. Included in these images are listings for the Switch 2's micro SD cards, charging handle, carrying case, and tempered glass. Also listed are prices with SD cards starting at $49.99 and cases starting at $19.99.

The employee who shared the images noted that they were in the US, adding that it was odd that the listings appeared to have Australian and UK IDs in their descriptions.

These images are spreading like wildfire on social media, and even if they look real, there's no way to be sure until someone officially confirms that this isn't happening. Also, as interesting as this potentially new information is, it's noted that there are no dates attached to these items. Their release date is listed as unknown at this time.

It looks like GameStop is getting ready to show off the Switch 2

However, Nintendo Radio remains silent

The fact that GameStop is apparently adding Switch 2 items to their systems is another big indicator that a reveal is coming any day now. We've gotten to the point where something connected to the Switch 2 happens every day. Earlier this week we saw a third-party accessory maker show off its accessories at CES, and an insider has been recreating the look of the new console's logo.

Nintendo promised to release news about its next console before the end of the current fiscal year – so anytime between now and March 31, 2025 – but has remained silent amid the ongoing barrage of leaks. Whether Nintendo acknowledges them internally or buries its head in the sand, there should be a revelation coming. Especially if the CES leaks are accurate and Nintendo plans to launch this new console in April. Genki, the manufacturer that showcased its accessories, claimed that its products would be available for purchase in three months.
