  1. That’s like a 12% increase, glad the Switch 2 is untouched cuz people would riot even more. In fairness the Switch is nearing end of life but that doesn’t mean these prices increases are ok. Amiibos have been like $20 in most places like Play-Asia so this isn’t shocking.

      1. Voices of Of compassion and helping the average person, and those in need were defeated in November… The party full of prejudices and hate, led by a felon who best friends with a pedophile for well over a decade ( and he’s all over the Epstein afiies, and He was introduced to his wife by Epstein. ) somehow won Last November last November …. Inflation has not gone away. Beef is up over 9% since Trump took office, and prices for many other things are going be going up soon because of the tariffs if they haven’t already started already…. Companies don’t pay for tariffs countries don’t pay for tariffs consumers pay for tariffs…

  2. I hate saying this but the price for games and and system will increase in the beginning of next year. But I’m glad the the Switch 2 price is not affected about the change for now.

        1. Why would you use someone else’s comment from another site (try and pass it off as your own information) and then fundamentally not read this article?

  3. Ouch, those August 3 price hikes—Switch models rising to $340 for the standard, $400 for OLED, and $230 for Lite, plus costlier accessories and amiibos—are a tough pill for budget-conscious fans to swallow! Thankfully, the new Switch 2 remains at $450 for now, making it an interesting alternative. If you’re feeling the pinch and need a quick cash infusion before payday, some folks turn to services like https://paydaysay.com/ . It can be fast and convenient—but it often comes with high APRs, unclear fee structures, and limited transparency . Best used sparingly and only if you’re sure you can repay it soon!
