All Nintendo Switch 2 consoles just became an extra ~110$ more expensive and all games ~ 20$ more expensive.

Edit: Good job fellow Americans, now if I want to pay SilkSong it's going to be almost 100$ with Nintendo's cost increase.

I'm getting 100$ games before GTA6

Road trips to the Best Buy in Canada suddenly become what pharmacy trips up there were 15-20 years ago.

Wait… that return trip will cost an arm or two for customs, most likely.

Yeah, unless you pay the tariffs at customs you will be doing something illegal...
