Nintendo raising cost of Switch 2 accessories in US due to tariffs, but console price to remain same

Nintendo has finally detailed how US tariffs will impact the launch of Switch 2, and confirmed price rises for an array of console accessories "due to changes in market conditions".

A new set of Joy-Con 2 controllers, for example, will now cost $95, an increase of $5. The Switch 2 Pro controller and Switch 2 camera have also seen $5 price rises, up to $85 and $55 respectively.

But the $450 Switch 2 itself, including its $500 bundle with Mario Kart World, will not increase in price for now, Nintendo has decided. The cost of key software launches Mario Kart World ($80 when bought separately) and Donkey Kong Bananza ($70) will also remain unchanged "at launch", Nintendo has said.
