A parenting opportunity... "Sorry, you can't have it this year, it's too expensive right now"

The value of the yen compared to other currencies has fallen through the floor since 2022, so this isn't unexpected - Nintendo had to do something to equalize prices somewhat. The dollar's global value has also weakened noticeably since (checks notes) April 2, 2025 and Canada has had currency struggles as well the last few years.

£385 in argos and smyths at the mo for any UK folk!

And new prices for playing cards not even set yet... TIL nintendo still makes cards in japan.

The price increases aren't massive though, I think I'll still wait for a mainline Mario game.

I'll buy it once Winds and Waves comes out. The increase isn't THAT much.

Is Mario Kart on the switch 1 still $70?

Does this exclude Australia?

Never buy a switch later. Nintendo prices don't fall and if, it takes ages.

Lol, keep buying it. Investor profits must be protected at any cost.
