As has been announced in recent months, Nintendo Switch 2 price increases starting todayreaching new standards on September 1 499,99€at least as far as the official cost is stated by Nintendo itself.

Nintendo is also adapting to a truly new trend in consumer electronics and video gaming in general, which has been an unprecedented spectacle for several months. Prices keep rising.
Are there likely to be other additions in the future?
Kyoto Company announced the price increase of Nintendo Switch 2 as early as May last year, which at least allowed interested users to purchase this game console in time before then. Add 30 euros on the price tag.
Although the plan is now in place, 499.99 euros is still a good price for a new console and, if things (seem) destined to stay this way, may also be “convenient” compared to our future.
Nintendo Switch Online price increases too
Nintendo itself has not ruled out other possible price increases in the future, and given that the memory crisis seems destined to last for a long time (one of the major producers, such as SK Hynix, predicts that it will last until 2030), things could get worse.
Meanwhile, Nintendo has apologized for the Switch 2’s price increase and promised great games to make up for it: right now, aside from Donkey Kong Banana and Mario Kart World, there isn’t a game that’s completely relevant to the new console compared to the Nintendo Switch 1, but something is coming.
The release date of “Fire Emblem: Web of Fortune” is approaching, it is expected to be released on September 17, and most of the content is expected to be released this fall The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remastered Editionbut we’ve only just begun the journey with Nintendo’s new hybrid console.
