Switch price increases leak early as Nintendo bumps consoles by up to $50 in the US, makes Joy-Con 2s $5 more expensive, and slaps another $10 on my beloved Alarmo

Update: US retailer Target seems to have leaked Nintendo's price increases early. The OG Switch model will now be $340 (up from $300), the Switch OLED will be competitive with its next-gen counterpart at $400 (up from $350), and the Switch Lite will be $230 (up from $200), according to the chain's website.

The must-buy Alarmo looks like a slightly less urgent purchase thanks to its new $10 price bump up to $110. And Switch 2 owners will only feel the effects of a $5 price increase for the already pretty pricey Joy-Con 2 controllers, now $100.
