Nintendo has recently announced that the original Switch will see a price increase across the board. Starting August 3, 2025, the first-generation Switch (including standard, Lite, and OLED models) along with certain accessories and amiibo products will have price increases in the US market due to "market conditions."
Details of price increases:
- Switch (Standard): Increasing from $299.99 to $339.99 (up $40)
- Switch OLED: Increasing from $349.99 to $399.99 (up $50)
- Switch Lite: Increasing from $199.99 to $229.99 (up $30)
- Some accessories such as Alarmo clock and Joy-Con Cola controllers will also see corresponding price increases
Switch 2 and games currently unaffected: At present, the Switch 2 console, physical and digital games, and Nintendo Switch Online membership prices remain unchanged, although Nintendo warns that adjustments may still be necessary in the future.
News reports widely suggest that this price increase is related to new tariffs imposed by the US on imported products from Vietnam, China, Japan, and other countries. Vietnam is one of the main production bases for the Switch. Former Nintendo America PR manager Kit Ellis stated that this might be a strategic adjustment—raising prices on older models will encourage consumers to opt for the newer Switch 2, while also giving the company more control over future market positioning.

: It's probably because the Switch 2 is priced too high and isn't selling well. The price increase of the first generation makes the second generation seem less expensive. Previously, scalpers were buying the Switch 2, but now even scalpers probably don't want to buy it anymore. 应该是switch2价格高卖不出去 一代涨价让二代看上去没那么贵 之前switch2都是黄牛在买 现在估计连黄牛都不想买switch2了

: I've learned something new today. In all my years, this is the first time I've seen an electronic product that's been on the market for nearly a decade get an official price increase. 长见识了,活这么久第一见发售将近十年的电子产品官方涨价的。

: Nintendo has pulled shady pricing tricks more than once or twice. Last-gen consoles even got price hikes. The 3DS scars have already healed.
老任硬件定价玩幺蛾子不是一次两次了 上世代破机子还涨价 3DS的疤已经不疼了
