Nintendo’s bumping up prices in Canada this summer thanks to “market conditions” — namely those back-and-forth US-Canada tariffs. Pretty much everything in the existing Switch family (OLED, standard, Lite), plus physical/digital games, accessories, amiibo and even Switch Online memberships, will get more expensive. The only thing standing pat? The upcoming Switch 2 and its software/hardware. New Canadian pricing hits Nintendo’s site on August 1.
This isn’t a Nintendo-only thing, either. The trade spat has fueled a broader console-price creep: Nintendo already nixed US pre-orders for Switch 2 accessories until it could roll out higher tags, Microsoft jacked Xbox Series X|S prices globally in May, and Sony quietly hiked PS5 costs in parts of Europe earlier this spring.
