The Nintendo Store has revealed the UK pricing for the Nintendo Switch 2 ahead of the system’s price rise due to increased component costs. The Nintendo Switch 2 previously retailed for £395.99 but from 1st September the base model will cost £419.99 in the United Kingdom. That’s a £24 increase. It may be worth shopping around after 1st September as some stores might knock down the price a little from the RRP.
UK: Nintendo Switch 2 will cost £419.99 from 1st September
That’s a relatively low increase so I doubt it will make too much difference for most people
Not too much but the price was already too high for many people and tipping it over 400 makes it look even less attractive to the cash-strapped. It doesn’t help, it might contribute to the S2 failing to beat s1 sales, but things won’t come crashing down. Nintendo’s going to weather this wild situation better than anyone else.

That’s pretty cheap compared to what it will be in the US. Not saying $500 is super expensive but it’s cheaper.
I was curious about this so just now I checked a currency converter and $500 = £366.77.
I am also too broke right now for a Switch 2. It’s fine, though. Just means the Ocarina of Time remake will be my first Nintendo Switch 2 game purchase.
I read that in Euro so my bad.
There’s higher taxes on the product in the UK.

What a joke!
Stock is going down
This is too much money and it will hurt sales in a nation where Nintendo do not often do amazing, but we know it’s not Nintendo’s and it’s still the best deal you can get for any gaming system…It’s just cutting out a lot of new and more casual players because of the price point.
