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.

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.

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.

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.
