Nintendo is set to raise the price of its Nintendo Switch 2 by $50 starting on September 1st, just in time for next Tuesday. The base 256GB model, which is sold without a game, will increase from $449.99 to $499.99. The company has also recently unveiled two bundles priced over $500, each including a game with a slight discount.
Despite this price hike, the Nintendo Switch 2 remains a solid choice for gamers, thanks to its impressive game library and exclusive titles like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake and Kirby Air Ride. The device boasts a 7.9-inch LCD display, magnetically attached Joy-Con controllers, and backward compatibility with most original Switch games.
While RAMageddon has affected most tech products, the Switch 2 has managed to keep its price relatively stable compared to its competitors. Amazon, Best Buy, and Target are the primary retailers carrying the Switch 2 in the $449.99 price range.
