Nintendo is raising the price of the original Switch “family of systems and products,†the company announced on Friday. Along with the first-generation Nintendo Switch, the price change also affects the Switch OLED, Switch Lite, and “select†accessories.
It’s also raising the price of some Nintendo Switch 2 accessories, certain amiibo, and the Nintendo Alarmo. The price of the Switch 2 console, as well as physical and digital Switch and Switch 2 games, aren’t changing.
The original Switch currently costs $299.99, while the Switch Lite is priced at $199.99, and the Switch OLED costs $349.99.
A previously announced price hike for the Switch 1 systems in Canada just took effect today, bumping the original Switch and Switch Lite prices by $20 CAD, to $419.99 and $279.99, respectively. The Switch 1 OLED price went up by $40 CAD, to $419.99.
Nintendo says it’s making the change “based on market conditions.†The move comes just after President Donald Trump signed an executive order that will bombard more countries with tariffs.
Nintendo still hasn’t revealed how much the original Switch systems will cost following the adjustment. The Verge reached out to Nintendo with a request for more information but didn’t immediately hear back.
