Nintendo is raising Switch 2 pricing in Australia on September 1st, pushing the standard console to $499.99. Retailers are clearing inventory ahead of the increase, with Mario Kart World and Pokopia bundles already sold out. For those still hunting availability, refurbished units offer a $100 discount relative to the new pricing structure, presenting a workaround for buyers unwilling to pay the inflated amount.
The timing suggests Nintendo is consolidating stock before the official price adjustment takes effect across major retailers in the region.
- Australian Switch 2 pricing jumps $70 on September 1st, making the standard model notably more expensive.
- Popular bundle variants have sold through entirely as consumers rush ahead of the price hike.
- Refurbished console options remain available at $100 below the incoming retail price, offering a cost-conscious alternative.
