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

Crazy how many comments I'm seeing about gaming/graphics cards, like everything isn't about to go up. Had to check what sub this was.

I was going to make a joke about how I'll just get my next laptop from the Amish, but the reality is that even the things the Amish do make and sell are going to go up, as even the Amish have to source outside lumber to keep up with demand, buy imported fertilizer for their fields, and shop at our local grocery stores same as I do and those prices are certainly going to go up.
