As of Aug. 3, you'll pay up to $50 more for a Switch 1 console and some Switch 2 accessories. Nintendo cites 'market conditions,' which could mean tariffs. Or it's trying to bolster Switch 2 sales.

Pricing for the original Nintendo Switch family of systems and products will change in the United States based on market conditions, effective August 3, 2025. These include Nintendo Switch – OLED Model, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite and select Nintendo Switch accessories.

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.
