Nintendo to Adjust Hardware, Game, and Membership Prices in Canada Due to Market Shifts — Switch 2 Prices Unchanged, Effective August 1

Whoa, okay, imagine this — so, Nintendo’s like, “Hey, Canada, we gotta talk about prices.” Apparently, they’re planning to tweak the cost of the OG Nintendo Switch and its buddies like the OLED version and the Lite. Oh, and don’t forget about all those games and cool Amiibo figures. You caught that, right? And the membership stuff too — Nintendo Switch Online, all that jazz.

They threw out this little nugget of info in some press thingy but haven’t spilled the exact tea on when prices will shift. They did say by August 1, you could peep the new prices on their Canadian site. “Market conditions” — whatever that means. Inflation, shipping snafus, maybe those funky tariffs? It’s a mystery. But the vibe? Yeah, kind of seems like prices might be creeping up. Just a hunch, no crystal ball here.

Right now, if you check, the standard Switch is going for CAD $399. OLED’s fancier, so it’s sitting at CAD $449, and the Lite, sweet little thing, is CAD $259. Given how the world’s spinning lately, maybe we’re talking a bump by 5% or 10%, but honestly, who knows?

Remember back in April? Nintendo was like, “Yeah, we gotta hold off on those Switch 2 pre-orders in the US and Canada.” Something about trade nonsense and more tariffs. That was a trip. They wanted to wait and see before rolling out pre-orders, but boom, June 5, Switch 2 dropped anyway.

Oh, and crucial bit — this whole price tango doesn’t touch the shiny new Switch 2 or its accessories. This bad boy’s got a bigger 7.9-inch screen and all, and folks love it. I mean, 3.5 million sold in four days. Crazy, right?

Planning to snag one? Check out who’s selling it at decent prices in the US or UK. They update the lists often. And hey, you might wanna follow Tom’s Hardware on Google News or something. They’ve got all the cool updates and reviews. That’s it, I think. More or less? Yeah.
