Nintendo has announced plans to begin selling the Nintendo Switch console in Turkey. Nintendo distributor CD Media released the following statement on the company’s return to the Turkish market:
“We are honored and proud to advise of our exclusive contract with NINTENDO for TURKEY…our new company CD Media Turkey based in Istanbul will soon provide Turkish Nintendo fans and consumers with all of the wonderful cutting edge Nintendo products, SWITCH, LABO, AMIBO, etc and the full range of software. We will be providing Turkish language manuals, web site and technical support, all based on our current experience with Nintendo in the wider Balkan region. We are looking forward to supporting key local Turkish retail and independents with the full range of Nintendo consoles,accessories and games.”
One major drawback is how the system is nearly double the cost than normal, equivalent to nearly $500 USD. Nintendo Switch software and accesories are also priced high, with Super Mario Odyssey for 379 TL, which is just under $79 USD.
