If they don't say price drop, then it's an increase.

Quick increase prices for last gen, before parents think twice about just buying the first one after looking at the value proposition of the new one.

If it doesn't say that, you know the direction it's going.
Nintendo was like "Nah, let's make sure we don't surpass PS2 sales"

Has to be because of Donnie's Tariffs.
Something like 80% of Canadians live 20 miles or less from a US border, btw.

This is utter madness
Can't believe my launch PS5 is still cheaper than a PS5 you can buy today.

I'm a Nintendo fan but seriously, this will rank as one of the most dumb fuck moments of all time in the industry if they increase the price of an 8 year old console they should be trying to phase out now.
Significantly slash the global price of hardware & software however and they'll sell millions more, idiots.

So they made the Switch 2 screen shitty in order to justify a price increase for Switch 1? Now it's all starting to make sense!

It's going to be a long drive to the Canadian border to sell my Switch 1 OLED. Sounds like I could get enough to pay for the gas.

Lol, a price increase on 8 year old hardware that has a successor out. What a fucking timeline.

Switch is not manufactured in US. Now, that could be an excuse, but come on, how in the world "Liberation Day" could affect CA Nintendo pricing?
Unless Canada really became 51st state.

It doesn't make sense. Raising the prices of Switch and accessories that are more than 8 years old is absurd. They should have made them cheaper and made them a low-cost entry-level product. What a rip-off. We'll see what happens with Switch 2 in the future...

Japan price increase for the Switch 2 will come at the end of this year or next year.

Nintendo trying to break the console sales record on hard mode.

Very Nintendo move. Tighten up supply/decrease demand for the old console while you try and move everyone to the new one. They need to make NSW2 more appealing so people aren't just saying "ok I'm good with my NSW1". Interesting how they're talking about digital games and subscriptions too.

Multi-language model is already $486.07 based on the current exchange rate. They would just need to drop the model that's Japan language only and region locked.
