There is a curious detail in Nintendo Japan’s tweet announcing the Switch Lite Hyrule Edition. Here is the embedded image:
Notice the footnote following the price “22,980 yen (tax included)”:
“* Price as of the release date”
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t recall seeing this disclaimer in their past Switch model announcements. It seems to suggest that a future price adjustment is being considered, if not planned. Could it be a price increase for the domestic market due to the weak yen? Or a global price cut after the Switch 2 reveal?
Edit: grammar
