Nintendo won’t extend its European Switch price cut to the US, the company has confirmed to Axios Gaming.
Now, a Nintendo of America spokesperson has confirmed the company has “no plans” to adjust the price of the original Nintendo Switch in the US, and Axios Gaming’s Stephen Totilo stated the price drop was “just for Europe”.
This isn’t completely unexpected – currency conversions had seen the relative UK and European prices for the original Nintendo Switch among the higher end of those offered globally, so this week’s price cut was something of a normalisation.
On Monday, Nintendo reduced the price of the original Nintendo Switch by £20, down to £259 in the UK and €269 in mainland Europe.
