Nintendo has increased the price of the original Switch from $299.99 to $339.99. Other models, such as the Switch OLED and Switch Lite, have also seen price hikes. The Switch OLED now costs $399.99, while the Switch Lite is priced at $229.99. Additionally, Joy-Con accessories have risen in price by $10. Nintendo stated the price changes are due to market conditions. The increase follows new tariffs imposed by the US on products imported from Vietnam, where the company manufactures its consoles.
The price hike will make other first-gen Switch models more expensive, too, with the Switch OLED going from $349.99 to $399.99, and the Switch Lite increasing from $199.99 to $229.99.
Nintendo said its decision to raise the price of its original console is "based on market conditions." The announcement came just one day after President Donald Trump signed an executive order that will impose new "reciprocal" tariffs on a range of countries.
