Before the Switch 2’s launch, Nintendo revealed price increases for its accessories in the United States and Canada due to tariffs. While it said that further increases are possible, it neglected to mention that this could also apply to the Nintendo Switch 1, at least in Canada.
Due to “market conditions,” the Nintendo Switch, OLED Model, and Nintendo Switch Lite will see pricing increases. You can also expect physical and digital titles, accessories, amiibo and Nintendo Switch Online memberships to cost more. Of course, the company clarified that the Switch 2, its software and accessories won’t see price increases (for now).
The updated prices will be revealed later today on the Nintendo Store Canada website, so stay tuned. Whether the same price increases will affect other regions worldwide has yet to be confirmed.
As for the Nintendo Switch 2, it’s available worldwide for $449.99 and CAD 629.99. Titles like Mario Kart World, which ordinarily cost $79.99, retail for CAD 109.99.
