Yes, you read that right! A physical Nintendo Switch 2 console is reportedly available on the black market—but it comes with a jaw-dropping $40,000 price tag. The notorious leaker behind the recent Switch 2 CAD images is allegedly selling a physical version of the upcoming console to the highest bidder. Let’s jump in to this Nintendo Switch 2 Leak!
The story first surfaced on the Switch subreddit, where leaked screenshots revealed negotiations between the Chinese CAD leaker and a black market seller. What’s even more shocking is how much third-party accessory manufacturers are willing to pay to get their hands on the console ahead of launch. The earlier they acquire the console, the sooner they can start developing accessories like controllers, cases, and screen protectors—giving them a major head start in the market.
While the idea of an early Switch 2 sounds exciting, buying a prototype through these means comes with significant risks. Not only is it highly illegal, but there’s also no guarantee the console would even work properly or be compatible with upcoming games. Additionally, Nintendo has a history of aggressively pursuing leakers, meaning anyone caught in possession of a stolen prototype could face serious legal consequences.
Beyond the black market drama, excitement is building around the official Switch 2 launch. With a rumored $499 CAD price tag (approximately $399 USD, €399, or £350), the new Nintendo console is shaping up to be a powerful yet affordable next-gen gaming option. This price point seems entirely reasonable for a new console. Although does a cheaper price mean a less powerful console? We will have to wait and see, until then, eager fans will have to wait patiently—and steer clear of shady black market deals!
