The Nintendo Switch 2 released last year in Australia with an RRP of AU$699.95, but that's about to change: come September 1 a global price increase will take effect, and Australia is not getting off: the current AU$699.95 RRP will raise to AU$769.95, and in New Zealand from NZ$799.95 to NZ$969.95.

In other words: if you want a Nintendo Switch 2 in Australia, best get one before September.

Unlike the PS5, the Nintendo Switch 2 doesn't seem to be scarce, though in 2026 some retailers, like JB Hi-Fi, have started to limit purchases to one unit per transaction. Amazon gets stock occasionally, but tends to run out more frequently than the main Aussie competition such as JB Hi-Fi and EB Games.

Can you just wander into a bricks and mortar store and buy a Switch 2? Retailers like JB Hi-Fi, EB Games, Big W, The Good Guys and Officeworks generally always have stock, though this depends on your local outlet.

For retailer information, scroll on below! If you're looking for some EOFY bargains, check out our rolling list of the best.

Save AU$64.40
Nintendo Switch 2: was AU$699.95 now AU$635.55 at eBay

The cost of gaming is increasing by the month, so this substantial discount on the standalone Nintendo Switch 2 is worth jumping at if you're in the market. Heck, maybe it's worth jumping at even if you're not. This is the standalone model: it doesn't come with any games, so you'll have to purchase those separately. You'll need an eBay Plus subscription for this price, but you can grab a free trial.

When will Nintendo Switch 2 be available?

Nintendo Switch 2 is now available in Australia via most major retailers, including JB Hi-Fi and Amazon. Unlike recent console launches like the PS5 and Xbox Series X, stock is looking healthy and abundant at the moment, so you shouldn't have much trouble securing one.

How much does the Nintendo Switch 2 cost?

The Nintendo Switch 2 price is AU$699 in Australia, which compares favourably to what we predicted (around AU$790!). That's for the standalone console: a bundle including Mario Kart World will sell for AU$769.95.

In the meantime, check out all the latest Nintendo Switch 2 backwards compatibility updates as well as the best Nintendo Switch accessories and the best Nintendo Switch headsets on the market.
