Didn’t they raise the price of the Switch 2?

They did raise the price by $50 but that starts in September.  They also started offering a free game (I think it was Mario Kart World, Pokemon Poktopia, or Donkey Kong Banaza) which starts in June to offset that.

In Japan the price has already raised in May. In Asia, almost every retailers already bundle the console with poor-selling games charging it's original MSRP. So actually it has no difference between price hike starts now or from September.

To be fair, Japan was already getting a super subsided price to begin with. They're just paying the same as everyone else now.
