The new prices will come into effect next month, starting from March 26.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/support.nintendo.com\/jp\/repair\/price_switch.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">announcement<\/a>, it will cost an additional 1,100 yen (a little over $7 USD) to get your Nintendo Switch repaired after the price revision. This applies equally to OLED, regular and Lite models. As an example, repairing your motherboard currently costs around $88, but will rise to $95 from next month. Display repair costs will also increase by the same amount. On the other hand, Joy-Con repairs will rise by about $5 USD, while Pro Controller and dock repair costs will remain unaffected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nintendo cites the \u201crising costs of repair parts\u201d as the main motivation behind the revision. The ongoing situation with the value of the yen weakening has been causing prices to increase overall in Japan, so exchange rate issues are likely a big factor.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Nintendo is set to unveil the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025, which is fortunately <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/nintendo-switch-successor-not-expected-to-be-impacted-by-shortages-nintendo-to-battle-scarcity-and-resale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">not expected to be affected by component shortages<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Citing the rising cost of repair parts as the main reason, Nintendo has announced a revision of its Nintendo Switch repair pricing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":44812,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17,33],"class_list":["post-44811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-japan-related-news","tag-nintendo"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
