Upgraded Pricing Announced for Nintendo Switch
Nintendo Announces Price Increases for Select Products in the U.S.
In a recent announcement, Nintendo has revealed that starting August 3, 2025, the prices of the original Nintendo Switch family systems and some accessories will be increased in the United States.
The new prices for the Nintendo Switch family systems are as follows: - Nintendo Switch OLED model will now cost $399.99, an increase of $50. - The standard Nintendo Switch will now retail at $339.99, a $40 increase. - The Nintendo Switch Lite will see an increase, with the exact amount unspecified, but likely around $30-$40.
In addition to the consoles, certain Nintendo Switch accessories, some Switch 2 accessories, select amiibo figures, and the Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo will also see price increases effective the same date.
However, the Nintendo Switch 2 console, Switch 2 games, and Nintendo Switch Online memberships remain at their current prices for now. Nintendo has not provided any information about potential future price adjustments for these products.
The price increases are attributed to "market conditions," which are widely understood to be influenced by tariffs and rising costs in the industry. This move follows a similar increase in Canada announced in June 2025.
Here's a summary of the new prices as of August 3, 2025: - Nintendo Switch OLED: $399.99 (up from $349.99) - Nintendo Switch standard: $339.99 (up from $299.99) - Nintendo Switch Lite: approximately $229.99 (up from about $199.99) - Select Switch 1 and some Switch 2 accessories, amiibo, and Alarmo clock: increased prices (specific amounts vary)
