I'm so glad that the prices were revealed right before the tariff announcement.
So now... they either stick to that and suck it up or they will increase them and show more people what these tariffs are doing.

MODERATORS
Agreed, this will anger young people, who need to be shaken awake to let them know that politics isn’t a fucking game. Conservatism and authoritarianism is poison, they just didn’t understand that yet.
"The Nintendo switch revolution" wasn't on my 2025 bingo card, but I'll take it.
Print out stickers of Trump pointing to the price with a speech bubble saying, "I did that."
Which is somehow still less ridiculous than tariffs on penguins.
Please Nintendo use the switch 2 price to help us ouster our fascist
This specifically is so funny to me. It wasn't intentional, but damn was it good timing.
I actually kinda think it was intentional. Any business savvy person knew these tariffs were coming and that they would be disruptive especially to something like the Switch 2.
Nintendo games went from 60 to 90 dollars. They put tariffs on everyone.
Great news to the people who were complaining about the price as they can complain more about the further adjusted price due to the tariff
The anti woke gamers that can only see politics when it intersects their treats will be thrilled by this. But I don't expect any self reflection or deep analysis by them.
Nah, they'll blame developers and publishers. There will be death threats I'm sure. Boycotting companies out loud while still using their products.
We will get soooo many of these headlines in the coming months and years. It will be glorious. Everyone will get instant and cheaper access to new tech while USians get fucked lol
No no those other countries will pay the tariffs.
Yes, as someone who works in supply chain, I definitely don't have to update hundreds of PO's to add tariff fees into everything, and the company is definitely not increasing price of the product onto our customers, because that'd be weird. China n Mexico are clearly going to make us rich.
It's gonna be interesting to see how this pans out, there's a good chance the console and games will be VERY expensive in the US by the time they come out if Japan and the US get into a tariff - counter tariff spat.
Gamers are truly the most oppressed class
Facebook Nintendo groups are having a Biblical meltdown right now.
Ooh, time to post to the InsanePeopleFacebook community
What’s uncertain? He’s solidifying income for the executive branch sans congress. And thus gutting congressional power over the executive branch before midterms.
So we're back to the 80s. Now, can the US market pick itself back up?
