Nintendo has just raised the price of the original Switch in the US. The console, which has cost $299.99 since its release in 2017, is now priced at $339.99 on Nintendo’s online store. The price hike will make other first-gen Switch models more expensive, too, with the Switch OLED going from $349.99 to $399.99, and […]
I didn’t expect a brief game about flies to make me emotional. But when I finished Time Flies, I nearly began to cry. Time Flies initially seems very silly. You play as a little buzzing fly that has to try and accomplish a bucket list of tasks before it, well, kicks the bucket, something that […]
Just about every piece of hardware that Nintendo sells is getting a little more expensive in the US – with the exception of the Switch 2. That includes all models of the original Switch, a bunch of accessories, and even a motion-activated alarm clock. The changes were made ahead of sweeping Trump administration tariffs that […]
Nintendo wouldn’t say what the “market conditions” were but likely reference President Trump’s tariffs, which are increasing costs for U.S. consumers.
Nintendo is raising the price of the original Switch “family of systems and products,” the company announced on Friday.

It’s a problem that plagued previous Nintendo consoles, which often received games years after other platforms, if at all. While today’s Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase may have lacked the splash of anticipated third-party games like Hades […]
It’s always a risk betting on new video game hardware from a little-known company: what if game developers never show up? But the $50 Thumby Color, on sale this week, is an easier sell – the two-inch handheld is cute as a button, fits on your keychain, and lets aspiring programmers build and publish games […]
GuliKit is following the release of its $49.99 Elves 2 Pro controller with a slightly cheaper alternative that brings a feature that’s still somewhat rare among third-party gamepads: remotely waking the Switch 2. The new GuliKit Elves 2 sacrifices some of the Pro’s more premium features like advanced haptics, but for $29.99 — available now […]
