The original Nintendo Switch is about to get more expensive in the US
Nintendo has announced that the price of the original Nintendo Switch will change in the United States, citing 'market conditions' as the reason for its decision. The new pricing will apply from August 3, and will affect the regular Switch, the Switch Lite and the Switch OLED, as well as select accessories for the console. Amiibo and the Alarmo alarm clock will also see price increases. The Switch 2 is not affected, nor are the prices of any games or Nintendo Switch Online memberships for Switch or Switch 2. Nintendo doesn't rule out more wide-ranging price adjustments in the future, though. The company has not yet announced any of the new prices, but Target appeared to briefly update its pricing (since removed), listing the Switch at $340, the Switch Lite at $230 and the Switch OLED at $400. The original Switch is currently priced at $300, the Switch Lite at $200, and the Switch OLED at $350, so these would represent pretty significant increases all round if accurate. The news follows the Switch price increases in Canada that came into effect today. The console is now $20 CAD more expensive than it was previously, with Nintendo also blaming market conditions (that it still isn't directly attributing to tariffs in its official messaging) for that adjustment when it announced it back in June. It looks like the Switch price changes in the US at least won't be quite as severe as those Microsoft recently announced for the Xbox Series S and Series X. The consoles now start at $380 and $550, respectively, which is an $80 increase for the former and a whopping $100 bump for the flagship Series X.

Why Nintendo didn't raise the price of the Switch 2 (yet)
Just about every piece of hardware that Nintendo sells is getting a little more expensive in the US — with the exception of the Switch 2. That includes all models of the original Switch, a bunch of accessories, and even a motion-activated alarm clock. The changes were made ahead of sweeping Trump administration tariffs that are scheduled to go into effect in August, and they show Nintendo is leaning on a strategy that it has employed across its business: largely avoiding risk. Raising the price of a new console isn't the best look, and so the company is trying to claw back some of that money in safer ways, without gambling on the success of its most important product. Earlier today, Nintendo announced that these new prices would go into effect starting on August 3rd. The actual increase hasn't been announced yet, but a since-removed listing from Target suggests that the console hikes could range from $30 for the base Switch model to $50 for the OLED version. The move follows similar increases in Canada, and Nintendo says they're being implemented 'based on market conditions,' which is corporate speak for tariffs. Notably absent from the list of impacted products is the Switch 2. Nintendo says that current-gen hardware, along with games and Nintendo Switch Online subscriptions, 'will remain unchanged at this time.' So what's the point of raising the price on old consoles and alarm clocks? Nintendo is infamous for being a fiscally conservative company, and it understands that, like everyone else, it will be impacted by the coming wave of tariffs. But Nintendo also knows that raising the price of the Switch 2 — which was already controversially expensive — less than two months after launch would not go down well. The early days of a console's life are very important to help establish a baseline audience that a company can then build off of. And the Switch 2 is off to a great start. Just this morning the company announced that it had sold nearly 6 million Switch 2 units since its launch in June. It seems the company has decided that it's worth eating whatever added costs come its way if it means a successful launch for the Switch 2 — that includes the impending 20 percent tariff on imports from Vietnam, where many of the consoles are produced. But the same can't be said for the original Switch or products like Alarmo. At this point in time, sales of the first Switch aren't as integral to Nintendo's success, and so the company is comfortable raising its price in response to its own rising costs. The original Switch is less important now but it's not insignificant; Nintendo noted in its most recent earnings that 'demand for Nintendo Switch has remained after Nintendo Switch 2 launched in June.' And so it appears that Nintendo is trying to nickel and dime its way into making up some of what it will lose through the tariffs it's forced to deal with, all without disrupting the Switch 2's momentum. This sort of risk-avoidance has become how Nintendo operates of late. While it often takes risks creatively, the company is much more shrewd from a business perspective. In its current incarnation Nintendo is an entertainment powerhouse that has expanded into film and theme parks, all while launching a successful new console. But in each instance the company has taken a relatively safe path forward, whether it's partnering with an established animation studio like Illumination or a global theme park firm like Universal. The Switch 2 itself is an attempt to continue the original Switch's success without changing things up all that much. Even the Nintendo Museum tries to present a safe, squeaky clean image of the company. The new price hikes are simply a way of applying that way of thinking to the current chaos of Trump's tariffs. That said, they could also end up being a soft launch of sorts, a way for Nintendo to gauge reactions before it does anything more drastic. Right now it has decided that it's worth eating those costs, but that might not always be true moving forward. As it noted in today's announcement, 'price adjustments may be necessary in the future.' We don't know yet what that might look like, but we do know that Nintendo will do whatever it can to avoid disrupting the Switch 2's chances at success.

Here's one way to encourage Switch 2 purchases — Nintendo is raising prices on the original Switch and Switch OLED
Today, August 1, Nintendo announced price increases for the "original Nintendo Switch family of select accessories" effective August 3. The gaming giant blamed the changes on "market conditions." Though not specified, it is highly likely that the increases are in response to the tariffs enacted by the Trump administration on August 1. Those new taxes included 20% tariffs on Vietnam and on 30% on China, two countries that produce a lot of Nintendo's hardware. In 2019, during the first Trump administration, Nintendo moved most of its hardware production out of China to Vietnam to avoid tariffs introduced then, as reported by the New York Times. However, between tariff introductions earlier this year and the current ones, Nintendo has not been able to escape the impact. Nintendo Switch 2 takes what worked about its best-selling predecessor and makes impactful upgrades across the board. From the excellent, and noticeably larger, 7.9-inch display to the more powerful internal specs, the Switch 2 is a full leap forward and the best hybrid console you can buy. Nintendo Switch 2: $499 @ Best Buy Nintendo's announcement did not confirm what the new pricing would be but Nintendo stock tracker Wario64 pointed out that Target's website briefly showed higher prices. The original Switch bumped up by $40 to $339.99. The Switch OLED version went up by $50 to $399.99, while the Switch Lite was priced at $229.99, a $30 hike. Currently, Target shows the original pricing. The announcement says the Nintendo Switch 2, and Switch and Switch 2 games would "remain unchanged." However, the announcement does not that "price adjustments may be necessary in the future." Additionally, it also indicates that some Switch 2 accessories — including Amiibos and the random Alarmo clock — will see "adjustments." Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. We've also seen that the Joy Con 2 controllers are getting a $5 increase making them $99.99. If you were considering picking up either an original Nintendo Switch or the new Nintendo Switch 2, not might be the time before the tariffs raise prices even higher.
