You know, I’m sitting here trying to wrap my head around this whole Nintendo thing. They’re doing a price revision in Canada for all their Switch stuff. The OG, the OLED, the Lite, you name it. Games, accessories, even those little Amiibo figures – everything, I guess? They didn’t drop an exact date but said August 1 is when we’ll see the new prices online. Why? Market conditions or something. I mean, they left out the juicy details like whether it’s inflation or those tariffs or who-knows-what. Probably a price hike though, right? Just a feeling.
Right now, the Switch is, what… $399? OLED’s $449, and Lite’s at $259. Are these numbers gonna go up? Maybe. I’ve seen this movie before – prices could shoot up by 5-10%, but hey, pure speculation here.
Remember when Nintendo had a hiccup with those Switch 2 pre-orders in April? Blamed it on market conditions. Flashback moment: This was all about those tariffs, thank you very much. They pushed back the pre-orders set for April 9, 2025 – sounds forever away, doesn’t it? Despite that mess, they still launched the console on June 5. Smooth move.
Speaking of which, the Switch 2’s all good. I mean, no price shifting for it or its add-ons. Bigger screen, faster, and zoom – 3.5 million sold in like four days. Crazy, right? Oh, if you’re eyeing the Switch 2, we’ve got a guide on the best places to snag one in the US and UK. Check it out – updates galore.
