US tariffs may raise Nintendo Switch 2 price

A major supplier warned Nintendo of a potential 145% tariff on the Nintendo Switch 2, significantly impacting its US import costs. This could affect the console's planned US retail price. The warning stems from potential US tariffs on goods imported from China, where most Switch 2 consoles are manufactured. The tariffs could force Nintendo to raise the console's price, which was previously set at $449.99. While some tariffs have been paused, the Entertainment Software Association has warned of the detrimental impact of these tariffs on the games industry. Nintendo has already shipped units to the US.
