Overview

  • Nintendo will revise Canadian prices for the Switch, Switch Lite and Switch OLED consoles, along with physical and digital games, accessories, amiibo and Switch Online subscriptions starting August 1.
  • The announced price changes do not affect the Switch 2 console, its accessories or its software, which will retain their current price points in Canada.
  • Nintendo attributes the update to market conditions driven by exchange-rate volatility, rising manufacturing costs and U.S. tariff measures.
  • Updated pricing details will be published on the Nintendo Canada website on August 1.
  • Similar price increases by Microsoft and Sony underscore an industry-wide response to global inflation and supply-chain challenges.
