Nintendo has announced that prices for the Nintendo Switch and its accessories will be adjusted in the United States in the coming days. Starting August 3, 2025, players will notice price changes in stores, including official consoles and accessories.

According to Nintendo itself, the adjustments will occur " according to market conditions ." However, the Japanese company declined to detail which products will receive increases or the exact percentages. What is known so far is that the measure covers the entire Nintendo Switch , including the OLED model, the Nintendo Switch Lite, and also peripherals such as controllers and amiibos.

Additionally, unique products like the Alarmo alarm clock, a collectible item that has become a favorite among many fans, are also included in this new pricing policy. So, if you've been putting off buying one, you'd better be prepared.

Interestingly, the Nintendo Switch 2 won't be affected at this time. This is because the console launched with a price considered the highest in the brand's history. However, its accessories saw price increases announced earlier this year, even before the console's official launch.

It's still unclear whether the company's recent announcement also signals further increases for Switch 2 accessories in the future. When asked about the possibility, Nintendo declined to comment, keeping fans on edge.
