Nintendo fans (or anyone who's gone searching for Switch 2 restocks) may recognize the X account Wario64, known for tracking Switch inventory online. The account spotted the higher prices already in effect at retailers like Target; the increases range from $30 to $50.

The first financial reporting from Nintendo since the launch of the Switch 2 has told us more about the company’s fastest-selling console ever.

Nintendo announced that it would raise the price of the first-generation Switch console in the US beginning August 3, 2025, citing 'market conditions' as the reason in a statement on its website.
