Nintendo will increase the retail prices of its eight-year-old Switch console family in the United States and Canada, saying the adjustment is driven by "market conditions". The company’s statement follows similar moves in Canada earlier this week and precedes the changes taking effect in the United States on Aug. 3. In the U.S., the Switch OLED model will rise to $399.99 from $349.99, the standard Switch to $339.99 from $299.99, and the portable-only Switch Lite to $229.99 from $199.99. Target and other retailers have already begun reflecting the new figures. Canada now lists the same products at C$489, C$419 and C$279, respectively. Prices for select accessories—including Joy-Con 2 controllers, certain amiibo figures and the motion-activated Alarmo clock—are also moving higher. Nintendo’s newest console, the Switch 2, retains its $449.99 launch price, and prices for physical and digital software as well as Nintendo Switch Online memberships remain unchanged. The company said further “price adjustments may be necessary in the future.” Analysts attribute the unexpected increases on legacy hardware to a fresh round of U.S. tariffs that push import duties on electronics from China, Vietnam and Japan to as much as 20 percent. Nintendo has previously shifted some production to Vietnam to mitigate earlier levies, but the broader tariff regime now covers that country as well. By shielding the Switch 2 from the price hike—after reporting 5.82 million units sold in the seven weeks since its June debut—Nintendo appears intent on preserving momentum for its flagship hardware while offsetting rising costs on older models.
