Ah, Nintendo. They’ve decided to adjust the prices of their beloved Switch consoles in Canada. Why? Beats me. They mentioned “market conditions” — whatever that means. Inflation, shipping chaos, or maybe squirrels in accounting? Who knows. Anyway, starting August 1, we should see this change on Nintendo’s Canadian online store.
They didn’t actually say if prices are going up or down. But let’s be real — probably up, right? The Switch is CAD $399 now. OLED’s at $449 and the Lite sits pretty at $259. Given global stuff… maybe a 5-10% hike? Pure guesswork, though.
Oh, remember April’s whole hullabaloo? Nintendo delayed Switch 2 pre-orders over some trade thing. Pre-orders were set for April 9, 2025. Instead, they came in later, but hey, the Switch 2 still hit the shelves on June 5. Not too shabby, seeing as it sold 3.5 million units lickety-split.
Oh! And the Switch 2’s untouched by this price mess. So, grab it if you’re into fancy 7.9-inch displays and zippy internals. It’s already flying off the shelves. For those eyeing a buy, peek at our guide for US and UK retailers. Pricing tips and stock alerts galore.
