reminder that the Switch 2 is $333 in Japan and its mostly priced like this due to trump. https://www.gamesradar.com/platforms/nintendo-switch-2/japans-multi-language-switch-2-costs-20-000-more-yen-or-usd130-more-dollars-than-the-japanese-only-version/
Can't blame trump for this when Canada's msrp is $629/$699 for the bundle.
In Ireland it is 150$ cheaper somehow
The switch itself isn’t the big issue when fucking Mario Cart costs 80€ (90€ if physical)
In the article you shared, it’s explicitly stated that multilingual switch 2 in Japan is “roughly $473”, so it can’t be due to tariffs. This is Nintendo being greedy. If they can sell the same unit for $330, why do they need to ask $120 more for another language? Doesn’t make sense at all
how? how is it even mor expensiv in the EU? we dun hav evl terrifs...
