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.
This is an article about tariffs. They will affect many products in the United States and many companies, not just Nintendo, will have to respond. But by all means, let it be just another moment for haters like you all to show that’s all you got. Any moment to say fuck Nintendo, even when it has nothing to do with them.
I mean, I think Nintendo is a shitty, awful, greedy corporation, but this is just the tip of the iceberg for how tariffs will effect consumers. It’s bad for the economy and the GOP are a bunch of fucking morons for letting their prophet get to this stage.
And yes, I know all the chums will pipe in that their strategy is for all the billionaires to swoop in and buy up everything cheaply. But that’s very short sighted, as this type of bullshit is causing long-term damage to the US’s soft power and influence. Our allies and trading partners are literally forging new agreements without us, meaning even once the tariffs are over, things are not just going to magically go back to normal, if they ever even do.
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.
What’s uncertain? He’s solidifying income for the executive branch sans congress. And thus gutting congressional power over the executive branch before midterms.
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.
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
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.

Fuck the GOP
I mean, I think Nintendo is a shitty, awful, greedy corporation, but this is just the tip of the iceberg for how tariffs will effect consumers. It’s bad for the economy and the GOP are a bunch of fucking morons for letting their prophet get to this stage.

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
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.
Which is somehow still less ridiculous than tariffs on penguins.
Print out stickers of Trump pointing to the price with a speech bubble saying, “I did that.”
Good, for all those zoomers that voted for trump, eat a dirty asshole you fucks.
As opposed to millenials, gen X and boomers who voted for trump? Why do they get a free pass?
A majority of them aren’t playing switch. Not saying none of them are but the highest majority of switch players in those groups are zoomers.

Nah, they’ll blame developers and publishers. There will be death threats I’m sure. Boycotting companies out loud while still using their products.
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
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.
