Tariffs causing price increase would be good for me politically
Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns

Yeah, bullshit. They’re just using tariffs to further increase the price.
100 bucks cheaper in Japan than any other region? 90 dollar games?
Get bent, Nintendo, I’ll stick to the steam deck and wait for emulation.

Someone doesn’t understand the full story. The Yen is weak. Super weak when compared to the US dollar. Hence the price difference for their country.
Additionally, those special consoles will be soft region locked. Only JP accounts can be added to them and will display Japanese only if the game supports that language.
Games never go on sale, what are you on about? We see Nintendo games go on sale frequently. Sorry they’re not the $5 dumpster trash that EA/Ubisoft shits out every year with their latest madden or CoD/Just Dance games riddled with bugs.

They should absolutely be selling their NES games for $5 or less instead of the original prices innthe 90s lol

The Nordic prices are ridiculous though. It’s the equivalent of adding ~200 euro to the regular European price. I bet lots of people here are going to import from other EU countries

Nordic prices are high because of Bergsala, the monopoly importer, and not Nintendo.

Norway is richer on average though. Let’s see how sales go after the initial introduction
