Nintendo has finally officially announced the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 in Brazil. The console will arrive here with a suggested retail price of R$4,499.90 ($800), and it will be available on June 5, 2025. The price is the highest in the world

The bundle with Mario Kart will be released for $840

Mario Kart World, as well as Donkey Kong Bananza, will be localized in Portuguese (PT-BR), offering Brazilian fans subtitles in our language, the first Nintendo games to be fully localized within the region.

I remember brazil got nasty taxes on all the electronics imported into the country, like pc parts including gpu's, cpus, hell u guys put crazy tax even on games, including digital copies of games.
It wouldnt even feel so nasty if u guys werent super poor country, but since u are, then indeed that has to hurt crazy much.
I remember reading about ps5 price reduction in brazil from 870 to 810usd back in 2020 :D
 
Lol, more expensive than a PS5. A PS5 bundled with Ratchet/Returnal is R$3600 (650 dollars)

Also for people blaming taxes, Ghost of Yutei will be cheaper than the Donkey Kong game. Nintendo is just extremely greedy.

In my country, Colombia, official prices haven´t been announced, but i´d bet for something around USD $750-$800 without Mario Kart, or more...sadly. Hope i´m wrong.

Are they selling directly or is there an importer of some sort like the one in Sweden that jacks up pricing?

Didn't this have to do with distributor in Brazil asking crazy prices, Nintendo doesn't sell their consoles there officially.

Why Nintendo Leaving Brazil is a Lose-Lose Situation - cultursmag

In January, Nintendo of America announced that it's officially pulling out of Brazil due to "challenges in the local business environment." Brazil's loss of Nintendo isn't only hurting them though, Nintendo is a big loser in its their withdrawal too. The "challenges" Nintendo is referring to...

I am Brazilian, and I tell you: Brazil has one of the most financialized economies in the world, where the pursuit of profit is relentless. They're always blaming the gradual rise in prices on inflation, taxes, and other flimsy excuses, but the real problem is that there's a staggering increase in the cost of living across the board — not just in electronics. This doesn't change, regardless of which government is in power, whether left or right.

Another key factor that worsens the situation is that the average Brazilian income does not keep up with this gradual price increase. In short, it's not inflation — it's a real rise in the cost of living. The price of the Switch is just a reflection of the economic reality the country is currently facing. Most prices in the country today are based on the dollar exchange rate, and many products — even those produced domestically — are taxed as if they were imported goods. The economy is extremely dollarized and driven by financial speculation.

To make matters worse, trade policies and tariffs introduced during the Trump administration have only added more pressure, contributing to an even more distorted and burdensome pricing system for imported and dollar-linked goods.

"Glad" to be wrong!!

Switch on Colombia will cost:

Base version:
COP$2'859.900=USD$665.01

Mario Kart Bundle:
COP$3´119.900=USD$725.47

At least not the $800 of the brazilian folks...but yes, as usual more expensive than it´s original US Price.

Also games will cost:

Mario Kart World:
COP$409.900=USD$95.31.

DK Bananza
COP$359.900=UDS$83.69

For reference, minimum monthly wage on Colombia is USD$331.

Blame your government that tanked the currency and raises taxes like crazy.

Nintendo is selling the Switch 2 and its games above the currency rate. Also the console is build in the country so they have tax exemption.

There's no excuse for Mario Kart to be 1/3 of the minimum wage, especially in digital format. Devs on Steam set up regional prices. Sony and Microsoft sell games below the currency rate. Nintendo is just trying to extract as much money as possible from their loyal fans.

How exactly a PS5 bundled with 2 games is $650 but a single Switch 2 is $800?

I'm ready to pay $600 or so for it here in Colombia... And I have no alternative, it's a good thing I can allow me this luxury, I think the only good outcome is that I won't be fighting for availability (in theory)

I wen't looking again after your post and found that they are again working with local distributors.
This is part of the problem, import is high and the distributor also want's a piece of the pie.

IGN Brasil tells us the recent history of Nintendo in Brazil, the struggles to get hold of consoles and games until now, and what Switch’s long awaited release there means to local fans – the Nintendistas.
www.ign.com www.ign.com

Relevant part:
The company will be working with two distributors – Rcell and Ingram Micro – as well as big retailers such as Lojas Americanas, Magazine Luiza and Submarino.
 
Here in Mexico

It wil be
Base 13,599 MXpesos = US$692.96
MK Bundle 14,899 MXpesos. = US$759.20
MK game 1999 MXPesos = US$101.90
DK Game 1749 MXPesos = US$89.12

Dirt cheap, like the nintendo games themselves.

I'm Colombia it's gonna be:

Console: 2.856.900 COP -> 660 USD
MKW Bundle: 3.119.900 COP -> 725 USD

Gotta bite it because that's the way it is out of the US normally, I'm thinking on not getting the Pro Controller right away because I want to try the new Joycons, maybe they can convince me they're somewhat good enough.

Get 8bitdo or Gamesir controller off Aliexpress or Amazon instead since you dont need to worry about the tariffs.

Pro 2 is overpriced as hell.
