If you’ve been gaming for long, you’ve probably gotten used to the idea that new consoles get cheaper as they age, but the exact opposite is starting to become true. Following price hikes in various regions for both PS5 and Xbox Series consoles over the past few months, Nintendo has announced “price changes” for Switch 1 consoles – plus games, accessories, amiibo and NSO subscriptions – in Canada.
“Pricing for the original Nintendo Switch family of systems and products in Canada will change based on market conditions,” Nintendo says in its announcement. “These include Nintendo Switch – OLED Model, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, physical and digital Nintendo Switch games and Nintendo Switch accessories. Other Nintendo products, including amiibo and Nintendo Switch Online memberships will also experience price changes.”
The price changes for the Canadian market will be confirmed on August 1. While Nintendo doesn’t explicitly say these will be price increases, it’s difficult to read this announcement as anything but a way to prepare fans for some impending bad news.
