Nintendo Raises Switch 2 Price to $500 Amid Cost Pressures

Nintendo will raise Switch 2’s US price from $450 to $500 in September due to rising component/memory costs, weaker yen, and higher oil prices, stating the hike won’t cover all production costs but that a strong game lineup—like Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Starfox, and Splatoon Raiders—should boost perceived value; the move echoes broader industry price pressures as Sony and others previously hike prices.

Honda and Acura Discontinue Key Electric Vehicle Models in the U.S.

Honda is ending U.S. production of the Acura ZDX electric crossover, which was assembled by GM in Tennessee, citing market conditions and slower EV demand.

Honda plans to focus on new models, including the all-electric Acura RSX and hybrid-electric vehicles, with no impact on GM's employment plans at the Spring Hill plant.
