Official listings for Pokémon Winds and Waves, the upcoming 10th generation Pokémon games for Switch 2, have gone live on Amazon Germany, and they might give us some insight into how much each game will cost in the US. As you can see from the website, each game is listed for €80 (roughly $92.84 USD), which falls in line with Switch 2 pricing in the region.
Previous Nintendo Switch 2 releases in Germany have been €80 while US counterparts release for $70. Mario Kart World is an exception as its US release cost $80 (the German one was €90), but everything from Donkey Kong Bananza to Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment were €80 on release. That likely means Pokémon Winds and Waves will be $70, which is about what I’d expect nowadays.
Nintendo has changed its policies on digital releases, marking down games $10 for digital versus the physical version. This has been met with retailers price matching the physical versions, making the upcoming Yoshi and the Mysterious Book $60 while Star Fox and Splatoon Raiders sit at $50. I suppose Winds and Waves might be $60 before launch, but we’re still quite a ways out from release.
