Nintendo’s Switch 2 may have avoided a tariff-related disaster at the launch, but today is a new day full of fresh economic horrors, and it means (unfortunately for all) potentially new and more dracian US tariffs. In Letter to 14 countries sent on TuesdayPresident Donald Trump threatened to increase the tariff to a large extent by 40% by the end of the month, which marks several weeks of expansion of the former tariffs set to be effective on July 9. Between those countries, fans of Nintendo- Aires are for both major parts of Japan and Vietnam, which, switch 2. So, what does it mean for switch 2 prices? Nothing is good, potentially.

First, let’s start with Vietnam. As the tariff was approached this week, Vietnam made a deal This outlines a potential 46% tariff with 20% one on exports. Keep some things in mind before you celebrate a devastation. First of all, we do not know the full conditions of this deal, so unless we can say that there is no targeted stipend to affect Switch 2. Secondly, while 40% of tariffs looked for now, which could still be equal to the price increase for switch 2.
Nintendo has earlier stated that it does not intend to increase console prices as a result of tariff, although it was back in the days of pre-launch before June, and 10% of tariffs have been clearly increased since then. If you are buying a bundle, Switch 2 already retails a cool $ 450 ($ 500 ($ 500 Mario Cart World), Which is particularly a price about which several complaints were made when Switch 2 was announced. Nevertheless, the demand for switch 2 has increased, and it has become the fastest selling console in the history since then, so if the large tariff was to be effective, then there is a chance that Nintendo can pass that cost with consumers, hopefully the demand is stronger than the sting of an additional $ 50. It is worth noting that Nintendo is already producing One-third of its switch 2 console in Vietnam And most of them are going to the North American market, so any change in tariffs there can affect anyone by buying console in America
Therefore, it is clear that console prices are on the table as a result of tariffs against Vietnam. But what about Japan? Although Japan does not directly switch 2S ship, it manufactures Some? There are goods, game cards. This means that if you are the type of person who likes to buy a physical game, then there is a chance that you can pay a little more. I would say, although there is always a possibility that nintendo increases prices due to tariff, it is not a more likely. Badnam, Nintendo already increased the price of sports in this generation, which is up to $ 80 in one eye water, so I am not sure how much Wiggle room leaves for price hike. Is anyone really going to pay $ 100+ for a physical game card? I’m sure someone can be for a game like a game Gta viBut I think for most gamers, this is a difficult line.
And if you are thinking, Can Nintendo not ship a game card from his hub just in Vietnam? Unfortunately, the answer to that idea “maybe not.” According to the terms of the trade deal, heavy tariffs will still apply to the so -called “Transit“What are the items passing through another country to avoid tariffs. It is really difficult to know when the word applies, but it is to target the countries that eliminate tariffs through a shipping loopol. And when I say” country “, what I really mean, China means that Japan will not be caught in that web.
It is clearly still to say whether the price will increase for any person to buy any switch 2, but the possibility is definitely there. If you are dead sets to buy a switch 2, but the trigger is not drawn due to demand or indecision, now there may be time to lock one. Anything can happen with tariffs (and anything), but if you can trust, it is that once they start flying, your wallet looks very thin.
