Nintendo Switch 2 accessories and prices discovered in the GameStop system

Summary

  • Someone claiming to be a GameStop employee shared images of Switch 2 accessories on the chain's system.

  • Internal listings include descriptions and prices for SD cards, cases, and tempered glass.

  • This is the latest in a long list of rumors that indicate Nintendo will likely reveal its next console very soon.

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

The images come from a Reddit user calling himself Opposite-Chemistry96 claiming to be a GameStop employee who shared the images on the Switch subreddit. Included in the images are listings for the Switch 2 micro SD cards, a charging socket, carrying cases, and tempered glass. There are also prices listed with SD cards starting at $49.99 and cases starting at $19.99.

The employee who shared the images noted that they are located in the United States, adding that it is strange that the listings appear to have Australian and British identifiers in their descriptions.

The images spread like wildfire on social media and while they appear to be real, there's no way to know for sure until someone officially confirms them, which won't happen. Additionally, as interesting as this potential new information is, it was noted that there are no dates attached to these articles. Their release dates are currently listed as unknown.

It seems that GameStop is preparing for the presentation of Switch 2

Yet Nintendo remains radio silent

The fact that GameStop is apparently adding Switch 2 items to its systems is another big indicator that a reveal is coming any day now. We've reached a point where something related to the Switch 2 happens every day. Already this week we've had a third-party accessory maker showing off its accessories at CES and an insider recreating what the new console's logo will likely look like.

Nintendo has promised news on its next console before the end of the current fiscal year, so any time between now and March 31, 2025, but has remained silent amid the ongoing series of leaks. Whether Nintendo is acknowledging them internally or burying its head in the sand, there has to be a reveal coming. Especially if the CES leak is accurate and Nintendo plans to launch this new console as early as April. Genki, the manufacturer that showed off its accessories, said its creations will be available for purchase in three months.
