Amazon Reveals Pokémon Winds & Waves Price
Amazon Germany has listed Pokémon Winds & Waves at €79.99, marking the first pricing reveal for the tenth-generation Pokémon titles ahead of their 2027 release on Nintendo Switch 2. While neither The Pokémon Company nor Nintendo have made an official announcement, the retail listing suggests a potential $79.99 USD price point based on Nintendo’s recent regional pricing patterns.
The games were officially announced during Pokémon Day in February 2026, celebrating the franchise’s 30th anniversary. The €79.99 price represents the premium tier now applied to major Switch 2 exclusives, consistent with Mario Kart World’s controversial $80 launch price on the platform in June 2025—a figure that drew criticism from players accustomed to standard Switch pricing. However, not all first-party Switch 2 titles command this premium; Mario Party Jamboree and Kirby and the Forgotten Land launched at lower price points, with UK pricing at £66.99.
The Amazon listing carries a placeholder release date of December 31, 2027, as the exact launch window remains unconfirmed. Pre-orders are now live on Amazon Germany and likely other regional retailers, reflecting the standard retail price consumers can expect. This early pricing reveal, though unofficial, gives fans their first concrete expectation for the cost of the next major Pokémon generation.
