Nintendo’s Switch 2 price is increasing to AU$769.95 come Sep 1 \u2014 which makes\u2026 is attracting attention across the tech world. Analysts, enthusiasts, and industry observers are watching closely to see how this story develops.<\/p>\n

This update adds another signal to a fast-moving sector where product decisions, platform changes, and competition can quickly shape the market.<\/p>\n

It could be some time before we see the Switch 2 this cheap again<\/p>\n

Nintendo announced in May that it soon plans to increase the Australian price of its Switch 2 console as a \u201cresponse to various market conditions\u201d \u2014 by which it means the industry-wide higher component costs caused by AI-driven shortages. That harsh reality means that, come September 1, the console’s RRP is set to jump up AU$70, from AU$699.95 to AU$769.95.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s true that the date for the increase is still a couple of months away, if you’re looking to pick up a discounted Switch 2 before then, we can wholly endorse this EOFY deal on Amazon for AU$629 \u2014 even if more opportunities arise before September, this is Amazon’s lowest Australian price yet, and very competitive as far as Switch 2 deals go.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Our Nintendo Switch 2 review gave the console 4.5 stars for being a massive upgrade over its predecessor, and the growing library of exclusive games like Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia and the upcoming Star Fox, Donkey Kong and Fire Emblem games will make this deal even more tempting.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be fooled by the 10% discount figure \u2014 after incoming the increase that starts September 1, this price will be roughly 22% cheaper, and we suspect this could be as good as pre-hike the deals get. If you\u2019re upgrading from the original Switch, the Switch 2 is also backward compatible, so you can still play your existing library of games on the more powerful console.<\/p>\n

The main improvements in the Switch 2 from its predecessor are support for 4K and 1440p resolutions (vs up to 1080p), a 120Hz refresh rate (up from 60Hz) and overall performance improvements with an Nvidia Tegra T239 processor, 12GB of RAM (vs 4GB) and starting storage of 256GB.<\/p>\n

One criticism from our reviewer was the relatively sparse game library at the time of launch, but with a full year having passed since then, there are a lot more options like the exclusives I mentioned above and a growing pipeline of games set to launch this year like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, Kingdom Hearts IV, and even a port of Minecraft.<\/p>\n

The Switch 2 is a solid step up from its very popular predecessor, but it\u2019s not flawless \u2014 our tests found the 5,220mAh battery only ran between 2-5 hours, falling short of Nintendo\u2019s estimates of 2-6.5 hours, and while GameChat (and its Bluetooth audio support) works, it isn\u2019t on the same level of voice comms as what you get on PlayStation or Xbox. Ultimately, these still shouldn\u2019t detract much from how good the Switch 2 is, especially with this discount.<\/p>\n

Why This Matters<\/h2>\n

This development may influence user expectations, future product strategy, and the competitive balance inside the broader technology industry.<\/p>\n

Companies in adjacent segments often react quickly to similar moves, which is why stories like this tend to matter beyond a single announcement.<\/p>\n

Looking Ahead<\/h2>\n

The full impact will become clearer over time, but the story already highlights how quickly the modern tech landscape can evolve.<\/p>\n

Observers will continue tracking the next steps and how they affect products, users, and the wider market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
