Nintendo quietly raised the price of almost every piece of gaming hardware and accessory it sells over the weekend, with the Switch 2 itself being one of the few exceptions. Some experts believe it’s only a matter of time before the Mario Kart World machine gets more expensive too,

Nintendo wouldn't say what the "market conditions" were, but likely reference President Trump's tariffs, which are increasing costs for U.S. consumers.

As of Aug. 3, you'll pay up to $50 more for a Switch 1 console and some Switch 2 accessories. Nintendo cites 'market conditions,' which could mean tariffs. Or it's trying to bolster Switch 2 sales.
