TOKYO -- Resale prices for the Nintendo Switch 2 are already soaring before the highly anticipated gaming console has been released, with Japanese e-commerce sites listing it at over 100,000 yen ($685), more than double the retail price.

The handheld device won't be in stores until June 5 but that hasn't stopped private sellers from listing units on e-commerce sites with such claims as "shipping in the 4th" and "100% guaranteed purchase."
