Nintendo announces Switch price increases in Canada, amid US trade tension | VGC

Nintendo’s cranking up Canadian prices across almost its entire Switch lineup—OLED, standard, Lite—plus games (both digital and physical), accessories, amiibo and Switch Online subscriptions thanks to “market conditions” and US-Canada trade tensions. The only exception? The new Switch 2 console, its add-ons and software all stay at their current tags. Full price details land on the Nintendo Canada store August 1.

This follows a wider console-cost crunch: Microsoft’s already hiked Xbox Series X|S prices and Sony bumped up PS5 costs in several regions. Nintendo even delayed US Switch 2 pre-orders earlier this year after quietly upsizing accessory fees—all part of a global trend of tariffs, inflation and supply-chain headaches.
