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.

Nintendo wouldn't say what the "market conditions" were, but likely reference President Trump's tariffs, which are increasing costs for U.S. consumers.

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.
