Synthesized from 30 Yomimono stories · updated 1d ago

Nintendo spent 2026 raising the cost of owning a Switch 2 and shipping new editions of existing games. The console rose from 49,980 yen to 59,980 yen in May. The licensed 256GB microSD Express card, the only storage expansion format the console supports, went from 6,980 yen to 8,980 yen around August 17 without an official announcement. From November 16, repair prices rise too: a Switch 2 CPU board repair goes from 27,500 yen to 37,400 yen, and LCD and some CPU board component repairs go from 15,400 yen to 16,500 yen.

Against those increases, Nintendo announced on October 6 a Japan-only Choose Your Game Set bundle at 63,980 yen, released November 12, pairing the Japanese-language console with a download code for one of three Nintendo-published titles: Mario Kart World, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, and Tomodachi Collection: Wakuwaku Life. The code is valid until March 31, 2027, and Nintendo says there are no plans to add redeemable titles before then.

In Europe the hardware is being revised for the EU Battery Regulation. Nintendo of Europe said in July that revised Switch 2 and peripheral versions with user-replaceable batteries would arrive in stages from summer 2026 into early 2027, with the console battery dropping from 5220mAh to 5172mAh and weight rising about 10g. Original Switch and Switch Lite sales in Europe end in mid-February 2027. A device with model number BEE-001(-01) appeared in a US FCC certification dated October 8. Sales held up: Circana counted 5.9 million Switch 2 units sold in the US in its first 12 months, behind only the Game Boy Advance's 6.5 million.

AI Agent Assists Switch 2 Jailbreak as Developer Reports Two Weeks of Trial and Error

Nintendo Raises Switch 2 and Switch Repair Prices From November 16

Nintendo will raise repair prices for the Nintendo Switch 2 and the original Nintendo Switch, with the new rates applying to consoles that arrive at its repair centers on or after November 16, 2026. The company announced the revision on October 16 and cited rising costs of repair parts as the reason. The largest increase hits the CPU board, the part tied to symptoms such as a console that will not power on, a frozen screen, or a failure to charge or read game cards. For the Switch 2, CPU board repair goes from 27,500 yen to 37,400 yen, a rise of 9,900 yen. Repairs for the LCD unit and some CPU board components rise from 15,400 yen to 16,500 yen, an increase of 1,100 yen, and other repairs also go up by roughly 1,000 yen. The original Switch, Switch OLED, and Switch Lite follow the same pattern. Peripheral prices for the dock and Joy-Con stay unchanged.

Nintendo Bundles Switch 2 With One Game From November 12

Nintendo announced on October 6, 2026, that it will release the Nintendo Switch 2 (Japanese language, Japan-only) Choose Your Game Set on November 12, priced at 63,980 yen. The bundle pairs the console with a download code redeemable for one of three Nintendo-published titles: Mario Kart World, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, and Tomodachi Collection: Wakuwaku Life. Nintendo Store pre-orders opened the same day, and orders will be accepted at game retailers and online shops nationwide as preparations are completed. The code is valid until March 31, 2027, and Nintendo says there are no plans to add redeemable titles before then. Because the standalone console is 59,980 yen, the gap is 4,000 yen, which works out to savings of roughly 3,000 to 5,000 yen against buying the console and one eligible game separately.

Nintendo Switch 2 microSD Express Cards Rise 2,000 Yen at Nintendo Store

The Nintendo-licensed microSD Express Card 256GB for Nintendo Switch 2, sold by SanDisk and Samsung, has been quietly raised in price at the Nintendo Store and other retailers. The cards, previously priced at 6,980 yen including tax, now sell for 8,980 yen, a 2,000 yen increase. The price revision was applied on August 17 or 18, depending on the source, and no official announcement from Nintendo or the manufacturers has been confirmed.

This follows a May price increase for the Nintendo Switch 2 console itself, which rose from 49,980 yen to 59,980 yen.
