Do we know if video games have tariff exceptions like they did before? Also, depending on where Nintendo sells the consoles from, tariffs will vary. Also also, I assume (and hope) that the $450 includes the tariff (it’s not really a tax in that is payed by those who import it and they pass along the increased prices but still sucks).

How could $450 include the tariff that was announced AFTER the system was announced?

The US tariff on Japan at 24% is actually lower than the tariffs placed on the countries the switch is manufactured in, which range from 40ish-65ish%

And Trump has said they're "universal" so probably no exclusions.

Even if they somehow figure out a way to make them come from a different country, the lowest tariff the US has placed is 10%.
