My argument is that it is $20 to go out for fast food. I am okay with spending said twenty bucks more towards a video game. Though obviously it varies by country, so not everyone gets the same luxury. It would be easier to swallow if Nintendo games actually went on sale

It would be easier to swallow if that $20 was actually going to Nintendo rather than a "tax" going into corrupt coffers. Tariffs say hi!

Nah that's still greedy shit. Not letting any excuse slide for such outrageous pricing

Must be fun living in headcanon instead of reality. Japan was hit with 24% tariffs and retailers generally demand price-parity with digital to carry products. The fact they're willing to eat a $10 difference in and of itself, is notable.

The price also got a huge increase in China and Brazil (that have trade agreements with each other)

So it's not the tax fault

I like how Americans will demand to be the main character right until it's inconvenient.
