Nintendo will raise the price of the 256GB Switch 2 without a game by $50 on September 1, from $449.99 to $499.99. Two game bundles priced above $500 are coming this fall. The article also links the increase to rising RAM and storage costs, while noting that competing handhelds have become more expensive too.
