Nintendo will “assess” market conditions; planned June 5 launch date still set for now.

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.

Nintendo games went from 60 to 90 dollars. They put tariffs on everyone.

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.

Please Nintendo use the switch 2 price to help us ouster our fascist

“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.
