This specifically is so funny to me. It wasn’t intentional, but damn was it good timing.
Comment on Switch 2 preorders delayed over Trump tariff uncertainty

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.

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.

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.

Which is somehow still less ridiculous than tariffs on penguins.

Print out stickers of Trump point to the price with a speech bubble saying, “I did that.”

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