Rumors continue to swirl about the new console from the big N. Some time ago we told you that the price of Nintendo Switch 2 had been leaked and that, if this was true, it was very good news. At the time, it was said that it would cost 399 euros.

Well, that information has been reinforced. Recently, the website notebookcheck has gathered new information on the subject. According to the report, a Costco worker in Canada has shared several images about the price of the console.

More specifically, they have published two images. The first is an internal document in which you can read “Nintendo Switch Palce Holder“. And yes, there is a mistake: it says “palce” instead of “place”. This detracts somewhat from the credibility of the leak.

A new leak suggests that Nintendo Switch 2 will cost less than 450 dollars

However, the second one does have a little more weight, as it matches what we have seen previously. In the second image you can see that the price of the console will be 499.99 Canadian dollars. At the exchange rate, this would be around 337 euros or around 350 US dollars. However, to this we would have to add taxes, import costs, etc.

With this in mind, we could estimate that its price would be around 400 euros or, at most, around 450 euros. Does this mean that we already have a definitive price? The answer is no. Although we would love for the maximum price of the console to be 400 euros, there is still nothing official.

In fact, in addition to reminding you that leaks are never entirely reliable and can be a simple edit, Costco may have put an estimated RRP while it prepares. It is normal for large franchises to make this type of move.

Therefore, we cannot hold on to that price. However, everything makes us think that it will be so. Especially if we take into account that we can add to these two leaks the reservation of an Italian store.

Some time ago we told you that a European shop was already letting us pre-order Nintendo Switch 2 at a lower than expected price, but very close to 400 euros. When you add up all the rumors, the truth is that the river starts to sound strongly. Be that as it may, we will find out on April 2, the date on which the NS2 Direct will be held.

By surprise, and without prior notice, Nintendo has just confirmed where Echoes of Wisdom is located in the chronology of The Legend of Zelda. That’s right. Without much fanfare, this morning we found that the official website has been updated, adding in the process a tab especially dedicated to Zelda’s first solo adventure. As we have been able to verify, it is located in the timeline of the defeated hero.

This is now the chronology of The Legend of Zelda with Echoes of Wisdom

Within this, all the events that take place in the game happen after Tri Force Heroes. Thanks to this new information, all the theories that were around the game have been dismantled, since until now it was not known with complete precision when it took place. There was a lot of talk about the Gerudo race during the process, this being one of the biggest clues we could find in this regard. Luckily, it is no longer necessary to use this detail to locate the game.

Curiously, Nintendo has not taken too long to confirm it. Usually, the Japanese company usually leaves this type of unknowns in the air for quite some time so that fans can talk and theorize about the subject. In fact, until the release of its official guide (many years ago) we were still in the dark about many issues. However, it seems that things have changed.

Will it be this way from now on? It’s possible. That said, with the timeline in hand, the only two games that still work at their own pace are Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, as they have their own line. The game’s producers like to leave quite a bit of room in that regard, as they prefer the community to determine where they are located… to some extent.

About Echoes of Wisdom

That said, if you want to know more about Echoes of the Wisdom, some time ago we published our own opinion article (with flashes of analysis) about the game taking advantage of its release. In it we told you that Zelda has more than enough charisma to honor the name of the saga and star in her own story without Link while praising its quality as a platform and puzzle game. Overall, we liked it a lot, and it left us wanting more.

With it, Nintendo opened the door to a whole world of possibilities. Now that Zelda has starred in her first solo game, we hope she will do so again. Especially if she does so with such quality and care behind her. It is undoubtedly one of the best releases of 2024, especially for those who claim to enjoy more family-friendly adventures.
