Is it better to buy the Nintendo Switch 2 in Mexico or the U.S.?
Let’s be real — buying in the U.S. is significantly cheaper. You’re looking at saving around $300 USD whether you buy just the console or the bundle.
However, buying locally means you get easier warranty claims, local support, and interest-free financing that can make the high price a bit more manageable.
If you have the chance to purchase it in the U.S. (or have someone bring it over), it’s definitely worth it.
