Yeah, it’s pretty tiresome. “This is a distraction!!!” No, literally everything he does is a horrible mess and he just keeps doing more.

It has gone up because people will pay the price. The games industry makes money hand over fist and could charge far less and still make a good profit. It’s pure greed, but the consumer is ultimately to blame.

Did you say that they’re raising the price for the US switch?

Most likely they will be. They stopped pre-orders in the US because they have to figure out the tariff situation. $450 is the pre-tariff price.

It would make sense if they lowered the digital price rather than raised the physical one.

For the US only. Other countries won’t be getting a price increase.

Yeah, I could stomach a big upfront cost for the console (a year or so after launch, when you can just walk into a store and get one), but the $80 and $70 price points combined with Nintendo never putting their games on sale makes it so, so not worth it. Third party games you can play elsewhere, even portably, so that’s not nearly as much of a selling point as it was in 2017.

Sadly, you’re right. Although if the the extreme aggression coming from the US government continues, they might actually get prodded into doing something about it eventually.

I don’t think user comments are typically blocked, just communities. Which is fine with me, I don’t have a problem with every single user on instances I have blocked.

Looks like the US price for the Switch 2 will be raised due to the tariffs, so the “more expensive for everyone but Japan” thing has nothing to do with the tariffs. It does make me wonder, though, what happens if a friend buys a Switch 2 at a cheaper price in Europe, then mails it to someone in the US? Are tariffs also paid for all person to person packages?

Of course.

Just ban the whole damn Nazi platform.

I forgot what it was like to actually be able to see Twitter responses.

Why not use plastic eggs instead? Can even put stuff better than egg inside them.

Time for a raid on South Vinland.

They very well might!

Yeah, that’s what makes this whole “Don’t blame Nintendo, it’s tariffs!” idea BS. If that were the case, it would only be this expensive in the US. Considering there’s a Japan-only Switch 2 that’s less than $350, it’s pure greed.

TotK was the last time I anticipate Nintendo getting any money from me.

C’mon, you don’t wanna be a WEENIE, do ya??

If that were the case, only the US should have the higher price. But the whole world does.
