Canadian Switch Pricing for System, Game, and Accessories to Be “Adjusted” – Details Coming August 1

Alright, imagine this: people are pointing fingers at “market conditions” like it sounds all official and stuff, but really, can you picture living next to a tipsy elephant? Total chaos, right?

So here’s the scoop—Canada and the US are playing this weird dance of economic uncertainty. The result? If you’re in Canada, brace yourself! Prices for Switch games and gadgets are climbing, like, sky-high. Heard this from Nintendo of Canada. Yep, they said it, not me.

They dropped this note about changes hitting the Switch family—like, all of them. The basic Switch 1, the fancy OLED, whatever you can imagine. And yeah, not just the consoles. Think games, accessories, that online membership thing, even those adorable Amiibo figurines. Curious souls should mark August 1 on their calendars for more deets.

Right now, if you’re hunting down a Switch in Canada, here’s what you’re looking at: around $260 for the Lite version (you know, the smaller one), $400 for the regular Switch, and about $450 if you want to go OLED. Oh, and don’t forget that charming Canadian sales tax. Video games and the online stuff? Tack another $15-$20 compared to the US. And if you’re fixated on numbers, the Canadian buck is sitting at $0.7334 against the US dollar. Fun facts, huh? And then there’s that trade deal talk… yawn.

Oh, and just to throw it in—Switch 2 prices are wild, at $630 a pop or $700 with a Mario Kart add-on. Mario Kart World costs a cool $110, while that Donkey Kong saga you’re itching to try? A mere hundred dollars.

Life’s weird, right?
