Amazon Germany has listed Pokémon Wind and Pokémon Welle, the German-localized titles for Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves, at €79.99 each for Nintendo Switch 2. The listings are live and sold directly by Amazon, but the price should not be read as Nintendo’s confirmed retail figure. Here’s what the listings actually show and what remains officially unconfirmed.
What Amazon Germany’s Listings Show
Both product pages are live on Amazon.de under the titles Pokémon Wind and Pokémon Welle, each priced at €79.99 for Nintendo Switch 2. The listings appear on Amazon.de, which gives them more weight than a random third-party marketplace rumor, but they still carry explicit caveats.
The Pokémon Wind listing uses placeholder-style language, noting the title is a working title and that product images may differ from the final version. The December 31, 2027 date should be treated as a placeholder because Nintendo has only confirmed a broad 2027 window. Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have only committed to that broad worldwide release window, with no specific launch date announced.
What Nintendo and The Pokémon Company Have Actually Confirmed
The official Pokémon site confirms both games are real, all-new entries in the Pokémon video game series, exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2, and planned for a simultaneous worldwide release in 2027. Nintendo Germany lists the games under the same localized titles, Pokémon Wind and Pokémon Welle.
Neither the official Pokémon site nor Nintendo has publicly confirmed a retail price for either game. The €79.99 figure exists on Amazon’s listing, not in any official Nintendo or Pokémon Company communication.
Why €79.99 Is Worth Paying Attention To
€79.99 sits at the higher end of what Switch 2 games are expected to cost in Europe. If that price holds when Nintendo makes an official announcement, it would position Pokémon Winds and Waves among the premium-tier Switch 2 releases rather than at a standard price point.
This is not an isolated data point either. Amazon Germany listing both games at the same price simultaneously is notable, but retailer listings can sometimes reflect early pricing expectations, and they can also use placeholders before final details are locked. With the games still only carrying a broad 2027 window, there is meaningful time for that figure to change before Nintendo commits to it officially.
The honest read here is that €79.99 may be where Nintendo is heading with major Switch 2 releases, but it is not confirmed until Nintendo or The Pokémon Company says so publicly.
What This Means for Switch 2 Pricing Broadly
Switch 2 game pricing has already drawn attention since the console launched. If these major Pokémon releases land at €79.99, it would set a clear precedent for how Nintendo prices its flagship titles on the new hardware.

For now, €79.99 on Pokémon Winds and Waves remains a possibility suggested by a retailer listing, not a Nintendo pricing decision.
Amazon Germany has both Pokémon Wind and Pokémon Welle listed at €79.99 each for Nintendo Switch 2, with a placeholder release date of December 31, 2027. The listings are real and appear on Amazon.de, but the price is not official. Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have confirmed the games are coming to Switch 2 in 2027. The final retail price is still theirs to announce.
