Nintendo has recently confirmed that accessories for the upcoming Switch 2 will be more expensive than originally announced. The price hike, which ranges from five to ten dollars depending on the product, affects items such as the Pro Controller and Joy-Cons, now priced at $84.99 and $94.99 respectively.
The full list of updated accessory prices is as follows:
Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller - $84.99
Joy-Con 2 Pair - $94.99
Joy-Con 2 Charging Grip - $39.99
Joy-Con 2 Strap - $13.99
Joy-Con 2 Wheel Set - $24.99
Nintendo Switch 2 Camera - $54.99
Nintendo Switch 2 Dock Set - $119.99
Nintendo Switch 2 Carrying Case & Screen Protector - $39.99
Nintendo Switch 2 All-In-One Carrying Case - $84.99
Nintendo Switch 2 AC Adapter - $34.99
The reason behind all this? The newly introduced U.S. tariffs, which impact the import of electronics from countries like China, Vietnam, and Japan. The price of the Switch 2 console and its games, however, appears to remain unchanged for now. Expensive just got more expensive—unfortunate, but not exactly surprising.
