It won't be just Nintendo. Entertainment Software Association: we do expect these tariffs will have a real and detrimental impact on the industry and the hundreds of millions of Americans who love to play games https://t.co/EnYgXSdIpg

A really unfortunate fact: Nintendo moved a lot of Switch 2 production out of China to Vietnam in anticipation of potential tariffs. This week Trump unexpectedly announced a 46% tariff to Vietnam exports, even higher than China's. $450 + 46% = $657 https://t.co/xdv33d37lf

GameShare really is the Switch 2 killer feature. Never would have thought Download Play from the DS/3DS would return, yet here we are, and this time you can also play with friends online who don't have the game! https://t.co/Ex7ALwZ2QX

Regarding the prices discourse, at this point really the only thing left is to accept it. The Trump tariffs announced yesterday sealed the deal. Every single video game publisher has been wishing behind the scenes to increase game prices, they were just afraid to be the first and have to face all the initial backslash. Well, Nintendo was the first now, and we assure you the rest will follow soon. Inflation is a thing yet video game prices remained mostly static for decades, in hindsight is incredible we had the same prices for so long. And now with those high tariffs, those costs will also be passed down to customers. Remember how outrageous the PS5 Pro price was when it was announced? Have you thought that in around 2 years PS6 will be announced for even more than that? Even with all the discourse the most likely thing is that the Switch 2 pre-orders will sell out in minutes, and that's what really matters in the end. This will just become the new reality of our hobby.
