read original related products more articles

Nintendo says it's raising prices for the original Switch hardware lineup and select accessories. The company didn't provide details of how much the price will increase or give a reason why other than saying the increase was "based on market conditions," which is likely a reference to the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.

The Switch OLED, Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite and certain accessories will see a price jump starting on Aug. 3, the company said in a post Friday. Nintendo says it will not increase the price of the recently released Switch 2, but did mention that "price adjustments may be necessary in the future."

Other non-Switch accessories will also see a price increase. This includes certain Switch 2 accessories, amiibos and the Nintendo Alarmo.

Nintendo did point to its Nintendo Store for prices, yet gave no indication of what the price jump would be.

Nintendo didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
