Nintendo is raising the price of the original Switch \u201cfamily of systems and products,\u201d the company announced on Friday<\/a>. Along with the first-generation Nintendo Switch, the price change also affects the Switch OLED, Switch Lite, and \u201cselect\u201d accessories. <\/p>\n

Nintendo hasn\u2019t confirmed what the new prices are, but updated listings on Target\u2019s website pointed out by @Wario64<\/a> show a $40 price increase for the original Switch<\/a>, putting it at $339.99. The site lists the Switch OLED<\/a> getting $50 more expensive at $399.99, while the Switch Lite<\/a> is priced at $229.99, a $30 increase.<\/p>\n

A previously announced<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

The announcement says that Nintendo is also raising the price of some Switch 2 accessories, certain amiibo, and the Alarmo<\/a>. The prices of Switch 2 consoles, as well as Switch and Switch 2 games (both physical and digital), aren\u2019t changing.<\/p>\n

Nintendo says it\u2019s making the change \u201cbased on market conditions.\u201d <\/p>\n

The move comes just after President Donald Trump signed an executive order that will bombard more countries with tariffs<\/a>. In 2019, Nintendo transferred most of its production away from China and into Vietnam to avoid tariffs, as noted by The New York Times<\/em><\/a>. But now, Trump\u2019s new round of levies<\/a> will extend to Vietnam, too, with goods imported from the country facing a 20 percent fee.<\/p>\n
