Nintendo Switch 2 price increase hits Singapore

This move is hardly surprising, as Microsoft and Sony has also announced price adjustments for the Xbox and PlayStation hardware respectively – no thanks to rising component and memory costs affecting the wider gaming and consumer tech industries.

Nintendo’s Switch 2 has still been selling strongly since launch, with the company previously reporting that the handheld became its fastest-selling console during its initial release period. However, according to a report, investors have reacted cautiously to the latest pricing announcement and Nintendo’s more conservative hardware sales forecast for the coming fiscal year.

What about Singapore?

We’ve also reached out to Convergent, Nintendo’s official distributor in Singapore, regarding local pricing changes. While the company confirmed that a price increase for the Nintendo Switch 2 console is coming to Singapore and the region, it said Nintendo has yet to officially brief local partners on the rollout details, including the effective date.

For now, Convergent says it will be withdrawing existing Switch 2 promotions with effect from 15 May, ahead of the adjustment. Pricing for Nintendo Switch 2 software and accessories, however, will remain unchanged and not impacted by this round of price adjustments.

In any case, if you have been sitting on the fence about getting a Switch 2, now’s a good time as any to get one before the price adjustment comes into place.
