Switch hardware and accessories see a price increase in Russia
Ow, my wallet
Nintendo has upped the price of Switch hardware and accessories in Russia. Fans in the region have noticed prices climbing recently, with a pair of Joy-Con climbing from 5,500 RUB ($87) to 7,000 RUB ($110). The Switch Pro Controller also saw a jump from 4,500 RUB ($71) to 6,000 RUB ($102).
The trend is hitting hardware as well, as the Switch Lite is priced at 16,500 RUB ($260). There's speculation on why the pricing is getting a boost, but no official word from Nintendo just yet.
