- Nintendo raises the price of the original Switch, Switch Oled and Switch Lite in Canada
- Accessories, physical and digital games and switch online memberships will also be affected, but the cost of Switch 2 remains the same
- Nintendo explains that the price update is “based on market conditions”
Nintendo has announced that it will increase the prices of some of its products in Canada.
As reported by IGN, the company said a “price update” will soon be implemented in Canada for certain Nintendo products, namely the original Switch, Switch Oled and Switch Lite.
Remarkably, the cost of the new Nintendo Switch 2, launched early last month, will not be affected and pricing will remain the same.
It also confirmed that physical and digital games will be affected, which is likely to affect Switch 2 owners as most games are backward compatible as well as accessories and Nintendo Switch online membership.
As for the reason for the sudden price increase, Nintendo explained that the price adjustments are “based on market conditions” but did not offer further details.
Nintendo from Canada issued an advisory warning that the full details of adjusted prices will be revealed later today (July 1), which will be reflected on the official Nintendo Canada store.
We can’t say with certainty how much each product will rise with, but we’ll keep you updated.
Change 2 pre-orders were delayed in Canada in April following the delays in the United States made so that Nintendo could assess the impact of tariffs imposed by the Trump administration.
