If you are looking to buy a Nintendo Switch, now is the right time to do so. The company has slashed the price of the Switch in European and UK regions just before the launch of the new Nintendo OLED model.

However, Nintendo is in no mood to replicate the treatment for buyers in the U.S., at least for the time being. The company has told Stephen Totilo that they have “no plans” of reducing the prices in the U.S.

For Europe:

If you fall in any of the above-mentioned regions and were intending to get the Switch, now might be your golden chance. Head over to the official Nintendo store as other retailers like Amazon haven’t yet updated the price.

The newer Switch OLED model is slated to arrive on October 8 and will come with a brighter screen, ethernet port, to name a few. As for the pricing, the newer console will cost you €364.99 in Europe and £309.99 in the UK. While the price cut is almost insignificant, it might sway some potential buyers towards the older Switch rather than the upcoming one.

The OLED Switch boosts a bigger and sharper display with not-so-significant upgrades under the hood. What’s worth observing is the company’s approach for other regions, especially the U.S., as we all get closer to the launch of the OLED model.
