During the Switch keynote presentation in Tokyo, Japan, Nintendo officially announced a release date and pricing for its next video game console.
The portable gaming console will be available in Canada on March 3rd for $399 through most retailers, including Best Buy, EBGames, and Amazon Canada.
There is no indication as to the number of units Nintendo will have available in Canada, though it’s a safe bet initial stock will be limited and in demand.
