What, were you waiting for the Switch's price to finally go down, now that its successor is out? Tough luck, Nintendo has decided to gouge you suckers instead!

Switch regular: $ 300 ---> $ 340
Switch Lite: $ 200 ---> $ 230
Switch OLED: $ 350 ---> $ 400
Joy-Con: $ 80 ---> $ 90
Alarmo: $ 100 ---> $ 110

They say it's the "market conditions" aka tariffs. Bullshit, it's greed. They just want you to buy the more expensive Switch 2, and don't want poor people to assume that the original Switch may be a better value on the lower end.
