Interestingly Japan will have 2 versions, a japanese language only (+region locked to japan accounts) and a global one. Mostly because of the weak yen + the insane amount of scalping that happened previously.

Switch 2 JP Only: 49,980 Yen (~333 USD)

Switch 2 Global: 69,980 Yen (~466 USD)

And the JP only version's launch price is still almost double of the Switch 1's (30,000 Yen)

But I'm actually glad that they look after the local market!
