While the worldwide release of the hybrid console, Nintendo Switch, is months away from now, the highly anticipated device has already gathered some of its most pertinent information, much to its user's delight.

The Canadian arm of Toys "R" Us has revealed rather unwittingly (or intentionally) that Nintendo Switch will have a retail price of $329.99 Canadian dollars. If converted to other markets monetary-wise, the console will have the following retail prices, accordingly: 194 British pounds, 244 U.S. dollars and 225 euros. It should be noted that these prices do not include taxes but they would approximately guide users as to how much the console would cost in their respective markets.

Meanwhile, the official pricing and launching of Nintendo Switch will be spearheaded by the Japanese game manufacturer in its Tokyo event dubbed "Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017" on Jan. 2017. "Super Mario Galaxy 3" and "Super Mario Sunshine HD" are among the expected titles slated to be unveiled with the console.

In related news, NVIDIA head Jen Hsun-Huang has shared that Nintendo Switch may take everyone's breath at the time of its launching. He stressed that NVIDIA and Nintendo's relationship is set to thrive on another level, in another two decades, especially now that the hybrid console is to be unveiled imminently.

True tech spectators would know that NVIDIA's relationship with Nintendo is vital as the firm's customer Tegra processor is believed to now be embedded in Nintendo Switch. The chipset is considered to be one of its very best. Furthermore, NVIDIA's skyrocketing revenue could be attributed to its alliance with the Japanese firm; recently, it shots up to a staggering 60 percent or $576 million in just three months from July to September.

Nintendo Switch was officially unveiled on Oc. 2016 and is slated to hit the shelves on March 2017.
