Summary

Nine years after launch, the original Nintendo Switch still has plenty of life left in it. However, whether it's worth buying in 2026 will largely depend on how much you pay for it. The standard Switch is currently priced at $339.99, with the Switch OLED at $399.99, while the Switch 2 has been priced at $499.99 since September 1. Console prices aren't exactly behaving themselves elsewhere either, with Microsoft raising some Xbox models by as much as $150 in August.
