Nintendo Switch 2 hits Malaysia July 3, costs more than PS5 Slim as pre-orders go live

KUALA LUMPUR, June 20 — You can now pre-order Nintendo Switch 2 through the Nintendo Official Store Malaysia.

Nintendo Switch 2 will be officially launched in Malaysia on 3 July 2025. This was confirmed by the Japanese giant through Nintendo Southeast Asia’s official Facebook page.

The official announcement is also accompanied by the opening of the full Switch 2 product pages on Nintendo Malaysia’s official website. The website has essentially confirmed that the standalone Switch 2 set and the Mario Kart World bundle will be available in Malaysia on launch day.

However, the Japanese giant did not reveal the official Malaysian pricing for the console, though. That being said, several retailers have since announced the pricing details.

Nintendo Switch 2 Malaysia pricing

According to retailers such as Asashi Technology Wangsa Walk and Melawati Mall, as well as ToyPanic George Town, BMSTAR Technology Ipoh and Fotocharlie Batu Pahat, here are the official price list of Nintendo Switch 2 in Malaysia:

• Nintendo Switch 2 standalone set: RM2,488 – Shopee / Lazada
• Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle: RM2,688 – Shopee / Lazada

Regardless of the version that you choose, each of them comes standard with a 1-year official warranty, which is handled by Nintendo’s official distributor in Malaysia, Convergent Distribution.

At that price point, the Switch 2 essentially costs more than a base PlayStation 5 model here in Malaysia. As a comparison, the PS5 Slim Digital currently costs RM2,069 in Malaysia, whereas the PS5 Slim Disc version goes for RM2,499 which is just RM10 more than a stand-alone Switch 2 kit.
