Overview
- Nintendo will sell a limited Switch 2 “Choose Your Game” bundle for $500 at select retailers starting next month.
- Prices will rise to $499.99 in the US, €499.99 in Europe, and C$679.99 in Canada in September, with Japan facing earlier changes this month.
- Nintendo attributes the revision to roughly ¥100 billion in added costs from pricier memory chips, tariff measures, foreign exchange moves, and higher shipping and oil costs.
- President Shuntaro Furukawa apologized for the impact and said a stronger software lineup would help offset the higher price.
- The company expects fewer Switch 2 shipments in its second year after an outsized launch that generated ¥2.3 trillion in revenue and 19.86 million consoles sold.
