Trump declares war on Anon Babble

nintenslop

Does someone care if children video games are a bit more expensive if the changes are otherwise worth it (not arguing that they are but if they were).

They just did. They raised prices as a "fuck you" to Donald Trump. That's political, He is my President.

muh tariffs

I guess nobody wants to remember the inflation caused by Brandon printing a fuckton of money for 4 goddamn years

Well I have a huge backlog and I'm in no rush to get a new console.
I'll just wait for the mid life re-fresh that'll make the console more powerful

Republicans don’t play games

The tarrif on Japanese goods is 24%, but they raise their prices by 65%. This is profiteering (also retarded).

They told you they would Make America Healthy Again

They didn’t say how

The problem is there are no changes other than everything being more expensive

They instead bitch and moan and let democrats turn their kids into trannies

Good. I guess they won't be able to sell any in the US then. Maybe Nintendo should build a switch factory in the USA if they want to sell their product.

cool let's just ban Nintendo altogether then

My current strategy is to find ps3 games I have not played yet and yearly replay some of the ones I already have, even tho I have a ps4 my friend basically sold me for free.

Yeah I know this is the most likely answer to be true as in you receive higher prices but in return you receive nothing else.

source?

So?

nazi pepe I just wanted to play video games.jpg

Yeah and I also want to branch out to PC
My real issue is time since I'm wasting it on a job I'm getting really fucking tired of

Nintendo doesn't build the factories. Countries like China and Vietnam invest in manufacturing and get these contracts. It would require the US to invest and probably have the government subsidize manufacturing. Just throwing tariffs isn't going to magically make it happen. And it's too late anyway, by the time the US would theoretically have this switch 2 production will be ramped way down

I bought a wii u just to keep playing guitar hero. Got BotW because it was so "goid". Played a few hours and never touched again.

Everybody remembered the inflation caused by Brandon printing a fuckton of money for 4 goddamn years. It's why so many people voted for Trump. And now just as it's calmed down he's fucking you over even more LOL.

oh i'm so depressed about my ex mimimimimimi

get a fucking life bro

Be a true patriot and buy Starfield on Xbox

Good. Stop playing video games and grow up you fucking manchild. Go outside or better yet go play with women's pussies.

PC part prices are going to go way up as well. This isn't just a nintendo thing. This will be industry wide as all the factories that make these things are outside the US

Literally just a tax on the leftist adult children.

Only good game on switch is Xenoblade Chronicles and I am NOT buying an entire fucking console for one game.

The price will go back down if pre-order sales lag.

Not true. It also has Xenoblade chronicles X

nintendo doesn't build factories

Are they made at the north pole by the elves in the off-season?

I live in NYC.

My fucking sushi bill is usually $250-300.

My switch sat plugged in collecting dust for years. All they do is re-release shit with no achievements. Also, have you ever heard of Black Friday? If you want it that bad, either just wait a while or buy it at full price.

Pre-orders will sell out regardless because of scalpers. It will take a while for the dust to settle

nintentrannies will gladly pay thousands of dollars just for the priviledge to play trannysong on their bing bing wahoo 2

Yeah, I meant that one. Forgot the X

THEY HAVE AWAKENED GABE, HE HAS EQUIPPED HIS POWER ARMOR

They sign contracts with established operations to build their hardware

Heres the problem kids:

all the factories that make these things are outside the US

Trump is sorting that out for you.

Republicans don’t play games

I hear nigger at least 300 times in an hour session of Counter-Strike 2

American will now pay more taxes than me for PC parts

Enjoy your socialism burgerbros

there are """people""" who believe Trump was ever shot at

that money was printed by zion don on his way out, you retarded kikeworshipping MIGA nigger

Trump didn't hand out $2000 to everybody in 2020

Trump didn't give out free money to every company to stay closed

Trump did the inflation you fucking retard, Biden had to deal with the consequences.

Sounds expensive. They should bring the operation in-house. I hear there are good incentives to build in the US now.

Yes you have to get your life in order if going to work gets in the way of playing video games. On the other hand the games you have last longer if you only play them for 1 hour every night or just some nights. I think newer Xbox consoles can be goty too seeing that you can play almost every previous Xbox game made on the newer ones.. PS3 famously kind of falls in between as in it doesn't support PS2 but PS4 doesn't support PS3 either. However PS3 is one of the last consoles where you just put the disc in and start playing, you don't have to download or patch anything especially if you buy goty/essential releases which have the dlc content within usually. Even if they didn't you can still connect to the internet and download them iirc.

Still buy one for me and my nephew

Just don't buy it? You're not going to die if you don't play the same fucking Mario game ported to switch 2

Nah, I'm good. PC is fine. I'll buy parts when the prices drop back into the reasonable zone.

Kek Im curious for the euro prices

Gamers deserve death. If Cheeto Hitler wants my vote next time he will make playing vidya a Capitol offense

hurrr nothing don't real durr

Everyone remembers it retard. It's why people voted Trump. What they didn't expect was Trump throwing a bitch fit and trying to massively out do Biden's inflation because he doesn't want to 'lose' to him.

Midterms are going to be a fucking bloodbath for spineless republicans prices on everything go up exorbitantly with no meaningful change otherwise to peoples lives.

NOOOOO YOU CAN'T MAKE A PROFIT THAT'S A FUCK YOU TO TRUMP

You are mentally ill and you're in a cult.

trump shut down the country and issued stay at home orders

Ok, retard. It's clearly all his fault.

The newest console I have is a Wii
Make it $1500 for all I care.

The only people that care about this are single posting bots and bugmen on X.

It's going to take more than tariffs to make that happen. The government is going to have to re-invest that money in infrastructure to incentivize it

'll buy parts when the prices drop back into the reasonable zone

They won't. The best you can hope for is that your wages rise a bit to match it. But more than likely this is just the new normal that you're going to have to accept. Buy comp parts now or forever be priced out.

I just buy used parts.
I don't need the latest and greatest stuff. As long as I get at least high graphics settings and good FPS I'm happy. I don't need "ultra" or "experimental" graphics settings.

haha, this doesn't affect me, I don't care if 80 million americans get fucked over

weird, why did 80 million americans vote for Biden?

He literally did do that, and you are either 12 and don't remember or have the memory of a goldfish. I remember watching CSPAN for weeks because he was having speeches daily because he issued the emergency and locked down the government and told governors to do the same.

Too skinny

I see 470 Francs over here. So around 500 Euro. But delivery in June.

Yeah, I'm sure no one will figure out how to get all the money that isn't being spent on foreign stuff by building factories here. The US has never been resource-rich or a good place to manufacture stuff.

in all fairness, they've been making it political for a while now

100%

You guys really fucked up this time. Picrel is going to go on a rampage when he has to pay more for his Vidya because of Trump.

Europoors can't afford a 500$ console, that's like 3 months wage in UK

Nintendo fanboys are the epitome of consoomer basedboy sheep.

its all just like cause elay delay effect you cant possibly comprehend it and im not gonna bother explaining it cause im a hack

As much as I wish that this was true so we could witness Japans most beloved company step up to the United States and crumble to dust and file for bankruptcy, this is fake news and it is still $449. Nothing burger.

Basedboy*

My 1080 is still going strong

The stuff hypothetically made in the US is going to be just as expensive. Plus the capital needed to get the operation off the ground. Companies will just raise prices to reflect the tariffs and leave it at that. You dont see any of these companies manufacturing their products in the EU for example, they just raise prices

No he's not. What fucking incentives do companies have to rebase here in the states? All we've done is deincentivize it if anything given that all the parts, components and materials needed for said factories are getting tariffed to high hell.

Plus, it takes years for factories to come online and millions to billions of dollars of capital. Why in the FUCK would any sane businessman take the risk of wasting years of time and billions of dollars building in the states when the tarriffs could just as easily be removed tomorrow on Trump's whim (given one day he says their to enforce free and fair trade and another day it's to force manufacturing back - if you're above room temp IQ you'd realize this is MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE).

And that doesn't even touch on the fact that in 4 years time an entirely new administration might roll in and completely undo whatever tariffs remain, completely fucking over any company in the process of building here (or if they built up, trying to recoup their investment costs).

see above. It's just not financially feasible or economically sound rn. It only worked in the past because after WWII the US was the ONLY major first world nation with an untouched homeland.

I'm not in Euroland. I spend 500 on breakfast with the family on a Sunday, and wonder why it's so cheap.

Basedboys* ffs autocorrect

Do leftoids really think we care about nintendo slop?

Hope it lasts you forever

I have a GTX 970 because im not a literal fucking adult baby.

lol Jannies are mad you can’t say $0yb0y

The US has not been a good place to manufacture stuff for a long time. The cost of living is too high, so manufacturing is too expensive because wages are too high. The only way you can manufacture stuff here profitably is by mechanizing it as much as possible, so that a few people can do the work of dozens or hundreds previously. Highly mechanized factories are very expensive and it's much cheaper and easier to just use third worlders, but if we really wanted to get manufacturing in the US (which isn't even a bad idea), there is one and only one way to accomplish it: The government has to pay for it. If you leave it to the market, the market will do what is cheapest and easiest and most profitable for them right now, which is offshoring. This tariff shit? It's just going to raise prices.

forced left memes arent funny

I didn't pay for mine

As I recall his travel bans were deemed raycis and countermanded by judges. Then the governors issued lockdowns by claiming emergency powers in some states. It's weird they would follow Trumps orders on something so clearly damaging to the economy as lockdowns but ignore his orders on illegals...

Nintendo not making its consoles in Japan is really fucking pathetic. What a bunch of greedy yakuza faggots.

It's the successor to the most popular console at the moment; selling over 100 million units. So you may not care, but people do

what, you thought there was unfiltered freespeech on this place?
s.o.i.b.o.i should work

But this implies Nintendo would make negative money on each sale. So to raise it guarantees they will earn the 333 dollars per device while the tariff is nearly the same cost.

A good portion of Trump's base are disaffected males whose main hobby is gaming, so yeah, I'd say people care about their entertainment slop suddenly being even more unaffordable

I like Nintendo but it's not the end of the world if their new console is just meh

the left just can't meme

true story

that image

Took me a second
Lmfao
Some kid is definitely stealing daddy's gun and finishing the job

Im agreeing with you nitwit, now you just made yourself look like a complete slob.

I bought a GTX970 a year and a half ago for 75 bucks. It plays everything at 144hz when you play with the settings. 1080p because im not a retard.

here i go sucking my own dick.

The point of me posting in this thread is that consumers are literal toddlers are times that need to be slapped.

miggers made that a 100 year old Japanese company won't take a loss on their products to save their Dear Leader's reputation

Literal cult.

mfw murricans will be able to say "my uncle works at the nintendo factory" and it won't even be joke

Who would buy a switch when 90% of all great videogames can be played on a PS3???

So this weak piece of shit is now competing with the Steam Decks in the US?

so yeah, I'd say people care about their entertainment slop suddenly being even more unaffordable

Only little kids and homosexuals play Nintendo, everyone else has been on PC since 1998 faggot

I love how many "conservatives" forget about this.
These faggots have zero power to acheive anything so they go after low hanging fruit

the american boomer mentality is disgusting. go fuck yourself.
people want to bingbing wahoo in the US.

Good. I'm glad the liberal manchildren are getting their toys taken away. Cry more, pussies.

Yeah, we clearly can't reverse the problem caused by "free trade". The only solution is to keep exporting our wealth by buying foreign goods and tax the billionaires or something.

Good luck affording a pc capable of emulating it. Or were you under the impression only nintendo is going to raise prices?

The effects of new currency are not seen on the market immediately, it has to trade hands through the market first, and on top of that you have to wait for raw materials to be extracted and then be refined into intermediary and then finished goods before customers see the difference in prices. This takes between 6 months to 2 years, depending on the effect on the product in question, the amount of existing stock, the manufacturing time, and the complexity of manufacturing. This is a very well understood phenomenon, you just don't know about it.

It's kind of like right now, everything on store shelves is basically the same price it was last week. That's because we're burning through stock that arrived at a lower price. As that stock diminishes and replacement stock is more expensive, you will see prices rise because the merchant (for example, Microcenter) had to pay more to get it.

I can get any American console for a half half-dozen of eggs at this point

And PC parts are about to jump dramatically up in price as well, on top of GPUs being already extremely overpriced.

I suppose if you're an accelerationist retard this is good for you though. You're taking the "circus" part out of the equation of "bread and circuses" which never ends well.

Cutting welfare and social security is a good start

Always in countries when retards set the tariffs, they have prices like this.

It is often cheaper for people in South America to fly to Miami to purchase high end consumer electronics. The top 1% travel there frequently so it doesn't really affect them. Everyone else has to pay $100 for things that should be $32 on Amazon and it is still a better deal than the domestically produced crap.

I never said it couldn't be done, in fact I told you how to accomplish it: The state has to pay for it. The free market doesn't have to and so won't, and even if you charge taxes, they still won't because there still isn't enough money in jt to justify the investment. Either you need yo completely cripple the US with tariffs to make people do it on their own (you will be lynched first), or the state needs to front the money so business aren't worried about opportunity cost.

my sides. bro, extreme/hardcore maga cope is even more hilarious than liberal tears. keep your eyes open for it. you're gonna be seeing a lot more of it. the maga cult bubble blatantly popped about 3 weeks ago & the trump cult followers are still trapped in a catastrophic break with consensus reality.

Yep.

No, the solution is to create a long term, 5-10 year plan to restore industry and not just yell "TARIFFS....starting...NOW!" Nobody will want to invest in such an unstable environment

Who cares? There are only two tendie franchises I give a shit about: Metroid and Paper Mario and I can pirate the shit out of those.

No. Nintendo has one good release per decade.

My local PC store sells brand new 500$ PC's that can play everything in Ultra HD(2k)

Acer Nitro V with 13th Gen i5, RTX3050 and 16gb ram for 550$. With this laptop you can play almost all games at 4k and new games at 2k/60fps+

the government should pay for it

Aren't you mad about tariffs being taxes? You think the states should pay for it? How do the states get money, retard?

IT’S A CON
Meanwhile as hysterical covid head vax twats screech about triffids and orange man because of the media in their very brainwashed heads Nintendo releases the news that … pic related.
It’d a swizz, don’t believe anything about this overpriced boomer target crapola.

I'LL END THAT WAR IN 24 HOURS!

Except all the stuff that isn’t tariffed.

And PC parts are about to jump dramatically up in price as well, on top of GPUs being already extremely overpriced.

doesn't matter, a 2024 midrange desktop is more than enough to run 95% of the modern slop available at decent detail levels/fps, that 5% remaining is the sloppest of the modern slop so gives a fuck to run an indoctrination frontend that demands microtransactions and dlc all the time.
btw AI has been a HUGE factor in the current gpu pricing ruse for the last couple of years, tariffs are a 2025/2026 thing

Why can't you just accept that Nintendo is a Japanese company and do tariffs like adult on things that are actually relevant to building up American industries?
Start with raw materials or something

My bad
I forgot Trump's a moron surrounded by dick suckers
The idea that he'll have an idea and execute with any level of skill is asking way too much

The tariffs are bad because there's no clear vision on how they work, where the money will go, and how that will help the economy moving forward

Yes, cut welfare and social security RIGHT as you tariff the shit out of everything thus making inflation rise to exorbitant levels. I'm sure that will win over the working populace so much as they lose ever more ability to afford basic items.

hurr durr fuck the poor and elderly or something

You mean a sizeable portion of Trump's voting base?

Yeah, right now. In fact that reminds me - if you were looking to upgrade your PC anytime soon, do it NOW. You're about to be priced the fuck out soon as right now is the lowest prices will be.

muh ningendero switcherino 2 price!

kys

By cutting welfare spending. You can easily front the money for this project if you completely eliminate social security and medicare and medicaid. Will people bitch and moan about it? Yes, fuck them, I don't care about their opinion, we're going to default if we don't do that anyway so we may as well just do it and then do something that will have long term benefits instead.

need 5-10 year plans

don't start start a plan immediately

I swear you dumb niggers are actually retarded. Wait a year or two and watch this plan bear fruit. Stop being a fucking consoomer for just one year and see what happens. Fucking lmao.

go play with women's pussies.

Hookers are more expensive than Nintendo games nowadays.
Thanks to hoenflation.

kys

You definitely sound like you're in a cult
This shit is funny and you're crying

Yeah fuck poors and boomers honestly

grats, you just described taxes in pretty much all countries across the globe, you need be 18 to use this forum btw

Everything is going to go up because products used somewhere along production will be more expensive. Food will go up because farmers need to pay more for parts and machinery. Package delivery will go up because truck and plane parts will be more expensive. Every industry will be hit by increased computing costs

Like microchips and electronics and plastics and assembly plants? You are actually retarded.

Miga tears are fucking delicious
Bend over and get fucked by your orange king, kike lovers

Nigga FUCK Nintendo, we are buying Steam Console and Steamdeck, GABE is going to put that nigga Miyamoto in a Luger torture rack, fuck lil nippy gun do

LMFAO

LMFAO NINTENDO SWITCH TO RAISES PRICE FROM $399 TO $659 DUE TO TRUMP TARIFFS

WAAAAAAA! I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY AND PLAY MY NINTENDORINO!

Where is the plan? Right now Trump has been flip flopping on this so much there clearly isn't one

i don't understand so there is no clear vision

Go study so economics not written by the Keynsians and maybe you'll see the plan.

THE TRIFFIDS or something HAVE BEEN SENT BY TWWWWWUUUUUUMPPPPPP!

The media’s war against our countries is ugly and should result in their extermination.
No way should any of it be allowed to exist it’s a weapon platform operated by organised crime.
And the BENEFIT CHEAT “developing nation” pirate China which they clearly support needs fucking up and starving to death.
Kill them all President Trump.

And you know what people who make multi-million decade-long gambles that is setting up a factory love? Constantly changing business conditions.

I wish Trump died so I can save money on bing bing wahoo!

Leftists aren't people.

Fuck japs.
Buy American.

we can't cut government spending!

Socialists are so fucking stupid.

Post a link to trumps long term plan to invest in industrial infrastructure

Like microchips and electronics and plastics and assembly plants?

You mean all the shit we do NOT have already in the states? Shit that will take years to get online and billions of dollars of capital to make feasible? Do you not realize how terrible of a bet that would be given how Trump throws down and then takes away tariffs? Never mind the fact a new administration in 4 years could completely upend whatever tariffs Trump put in?

Yes like those things
And build your Xboxes with them I. The USA
Don't cry when other countries can make things too
It's pathetic

Good stuff
I don't know what those things are but you do that
America strong!

Why not both? If people are going to bitch and moan anyway...

I wish the bullet struck.

I voted for this

This is the ultimate test: How much does your wife's boyfriend love you?

Nobody does that

A man so good at reality television he missed a bullet by an inch and staged a perfect iconic photo directly after

Overpriced gaming console. Not really much better than previous console, stuff all games.

Guess I better put the price up 2x right on release time.

What ever could go wrong.

Note the context you fucking retard - SOCIAL BENEFITS for the poor, old and disenfranchised during the biggest inflationary moment in a long fucking time.

steamdeck (made in chinkistan)
pay up goy. ultra miga.

In The Day of the Triffids, the inhabitants of earth were largely rendered blind, and thus wouldn't have been able to enjoy video games, be they on consoles, pcs, or handheld devices.
Thus, the situation is highly similar to the one we find ourselves in today

Why do I need to post a link? You clearly know the tariffs exist.

bought used switch for 160 in 2020

I bet I can resell this bad boy for $400 now. Old firmware so many some speedrun fag would pay extra. I knew being lazy would pay off, I've been meaning to sell it for 2 years.

produce nothing

tariff every single country on Earth

What do you think isn't going to be affected?

If you have a U go buy a copy of The Wonderful 101. It is the most underrated gem in the vidyasphere.

Yes. All the stuff we could make here but don't.

it takes too long!

5-10 year plans don't? Pick a fucking argument.

So the plan is just tariffs? Because thats not going to accomplish anything

Moving manufacturing to the US has long term benefits, it's an investment in future profits for America and Americans. Social Security and Medicare is just immediate consumption, it provides no long term benefits, just boomers that live longer and are entitled to more of my money.

All the stuff we could make here but don't.

And the point is, moron, that we won't with just willy nilly tariffing everything. Throwing down blanket tariffs based on jeet prompted chatGPT equations is not a fucking plan. It's lunacy.

Tariff on bread and circus

That pricing is not even true, but even if it were, who cares. All these threads mocking this, but really, no one cares.

If this feels like a win to you, that's rather pathetic. It's nothing, nothing at all.

Okay so they lose money on their non cartridge games then. Switch controllers were garbage anyways, 3ds shoulder buttons were the same. If they can't make good hardware who cares? Steam will take over the American market, they can make gimmick controllers

how will american s©ys get their heckin bing bing wahoo and zelder now? is their princess in another castle?

Yes so make long term commitments to invest in manufacturing rather than just hoping your tariffs, which are gone at midterms at the very latest the way things are going, will accomplish everything.

Real definitely non closeted homosexual men constantly obsess over how other men live there lives

Yes. Reinvest in US manufacturing for long term benefits. Cut spending for short term benefits. Do the things we need to do but don't because politicians are more worried about winning elections than helping our own people.

No, that's on top of another tariff. The total is over 40%. And the OP is wrong. The price is $450. That times 1.4 would be $630.

noo my Nintendo is going to cost more!

lol, lmao even

Groceries increasing in price lost the dems the presidency. You think EVERYTHING increasing in price by significantly more than inflation is nothing?

affording a pc capable of emulating it

You can emulate "next-gen" consoles with a PC you built at the start of the last generation, sometimes two generations ago. What a dumb cunty uneducated opinion you've managed to put together. We even started getting "pro" consoles that were just jacked-up prices on the same console with hardware upgrades and they are still weaker than 5 year old hardware.

You are the truest idiot.

You laugh but fucking with breads and circuses for the common pleb never ends well. At the very least if things don't change the reps and Trump are going to get absolutely bodied in the midterms and next presidential election.

Japan fold and drop tariffs on US

Nintendo reduce Switch2 price before launch

Trump's approval jumps up 10 points

And if you didn't build the pc then?

my sides. bro, extreme/hardcore maga cope is even more hilarious than liberal tears. keep your eyes open for it. you're gonna be seeing a lot more of it. the maga cult bubble blatantly popped about 3 weeks ago & the trump cult followers are still trapped in a catastrophic break with consensus reality.

Soon, bugman... soon.

I would never buy a console built by "Americans". Bringing manufacturing to the US is pointless as long as there are brown people here.

I'LL END THAT WAR IN 24 HOURS!

And it's a troon bugman too!

They didn't kneel to the orange man

Not even reading your technologically illiterate reply.

Increased tax raised prices, you retard

MIGAniggers have the same hubris that leftoids had during the leadup to the 2016 election. They really think telling people to suck it up and lose all their hobbies for a rotten kiked society that hates them is a winning strategy.

He thinks the same company that sold cardboard for $70 in 2018, pulls a Disney vault stunt with 3D Mario collection and places a premium on basic features like cloud storage wouldn't price increase in the first place

How fucking idiotic are you?

hottt

Would be nice. But then it begs the question - how does that outcome help to bring american manufacturing back? I'll tell you the answer, it doesn't.

Yeah, my daughter was playing botw and loving it. So it matters a little, but after having to replace parts with after market ones just so the controllers function as intended, she's going to have to make due with hundreds of switch one games lol

They're essentially the same people. It's just a question of which head of the hydra got to them first.

Glad I built my most recent system in sept 23 when prices normalized for a couple of weeks.
i5 13600k
64GB RAM

8TB SSD (4X2TB)
12TB HDD
20TB ARCHIVAL DRIVE
it will last me for a decade or so. My last one had a 4th gen i7, 660ti, 16GB RAM, and a 4TB HDD. Was fine with that for years. Built my new one because I had bonus money burning a hole in my pocket.

TOTAL TENDIE TARIFF

Tariffs get passed onto the consumer.

And Biden already hit the bread pretty hard. There is no explanation for this other than it being a planned demolition of the United States.

Grow the fuck up you fucking incel faggots.
"MUH NINTENDO CONSOLEEE NOOOO"

Tariffs get passed onto the consumer.

Go back to LeReddit or the farting continues.

files.catbox.moe/3tg7j7.jpg

Because countries dropping tarrifs is good for domestic production. Reciprocal tarrifs, stock market crashes (in August, the real one), real estate crashes, inflation defeated, homes affordable, interest rates low, investments in American manufacturing are now cheaper while the cost of living is lower and faggot countries fold and drop their tarrifs, all while energy is cheap again. Trump is the best fucking president ever

All taxes are born by people on the wrong side of the demand curve, who collects them is irrelevant

Good.

NINTENDO SWITCH

who cares?

do pol chuds really play video gamies like little kiddies ?

Get a Steamdeck instead of Tendieslop that breaks down nonstop.

wtf deatomized those dirka dirkas

This sucks.

Yes, I'm sure it was all those silly tariffs that no one can seem to specify placed on the US that killed domestic manufacturing, and not the fact that other country's labor costs are magnitudes less than what they are in the US. Tell me - how do you expect US manufacturers to compete unless we tariff the shit out of foreign goods which on the whole are far cheaper than anything we could make? Keep in mind if we keep tariffs up, they'll keep tariffs up too.

FROM $399 TO $659

This would be 260 more and not explainable as a result of tariffs on wholesale imports.

DUE TO TRUMP TARIFFS

If you believe this crap you are so stupid that you deserve to be ripped off.

We were totally gonna hit that target, but now with big evil orange man we cant

so sad, can we get 10 gifted in the chat

My old laptop with a GTX1050 in it can emulate the Switch pretty fine.

As long as it isn't Pokemon Scat and Vomit, it runs even with 60fps mods

exceot inflation didnt wait six months or two years it rose immediately. As did inflation rise when all those sanctions were placed on russia.

People are just gonna sell their stocks at a lower price knowing that their new stock will be more expensive to get

insane retarded logic but what can you expect from a reddit troglodyte

Both Vietnam and Cambodia have caved.

Caved to what exactly? Keep in mind, companies have been moving out of China and into those two countries for their manufactories. So I guess them dropping tariffs so they can keep our businesses investments there for overseas manufacturing is a win?

Let me tell you something son. Video games have been bullshit for a long time. And I'm telling you this as a video game connoisseur. I played every game and had every system from like pong to Xbox 360. The best system ever was probably PlayStation. Sega was decent. But everything in the last 20 years is total fucking garbage. I haven't played anything since Fallout New Vegas. Because I'm not gay and stupid like all the games are.

What tariffs should they drop? Don't just say "all of them," tell me specifically what tariffs they have that you would like for them to remove. Surely you don't mean the mythical 40% tariff that is just the US trade goods deficit with Japan, right? You surely wouldn't be so stupid as to justify retaliatory tariffs over a tariff that doesn't exist, right?

Is the new shill tactic to go after the normies vidya? You know, complaining about the price of eggs is a better talking point than some faggot video game console. Being able to afford food is more important.

sword of degeneracy

you might have a point if this made food cheaper

ah so they are made in Chyna
miss when they were Japanese made

Life is great if you're not poor. I just bought a 520 horsepower Porsche for 11 Grand. That's beer money.

If you're not stupid you can figure out the way to make Bank legally. Not that hard.

Damn, it's 699AUD, which is 427USD

Caved to what exactly?

Removing all tariffs if the U.S. does the same. Thereby our implementing of tariffs causes all of them to be deleted, which results in ACTUAL "free trade" which is a phrase that has been gutted in recent years.

maga cult follower wackjob

Comments on IGN are a bunch of fucking man children

My point is that this thread reeks of desperation. Food prices won't change anons' minds so they are going for video games.

you can't make a profit if nobody can afford your product.

fucked over

wow i didn't know you were so emotional about the switch 2

So again we go back to square one then where it makes more sense for businesses to offshore their production to Vietnam and Cambodia? Because that's what will happen if we remove all tariffs.

Buy used car for cheaper than a new car

"I'm so smart for buying an old car!"

Where do you think used cars come from? People selling cars they bought new. If brand new cars are more expensive, people will keep their existing cars for longer, or if they don't have one for some reason (maybe they crashed it or it was a lease or their kid is turning 18), they'll buy a used one instead, meaning more pressure on a smaller used market.

Why would there not be tariffs on the mid life refresh?

Are you a tax dodging liberal?

And now you know why they tried to kill him.

They are going to use the tarrifs as an excuse to increase the price while they keep the Japanese-region locked Switch 2 at $399, it will not move from $399. They are already selling consoles at a massive loss and on top of that $399 is an even BIGGER one. They're going to need to make some profit.

They haven't increased it yet, the pre orders were delayed. Their MSRP is still at $449.99 USD. Check the prices for other regions as well, EU and Canada have it pretty high as well. We actually have it at a good MSRP, better than most.

The people mad about nintendo's costing too much aren't in the department to care about food price. It still won't convince Trump supporters to regret their vote and wished they would have chosen Kamala.

I guess they're trying to crack another schizo to try and shoot Trump again but the only ones willing to try are Ukraine supporters.

Based. You shouldn't be playing videya games if you are a grown adult anyway. Especially Nintendos. Only spoiled rich White kids need to own Nintendo Switches.

Nintendo was already increasing prices long before the tariffs. They're just using at as an excuse now. It'll be great to watch the corporate greed burn the company. As a gamer I stopped at the wii anyways because I didn't even play it that much. Emulation of the old games for nostalgia is pretty much all they had left.

970

Must've missed the $300 6900xt sales that were pretty common a year and a half ago. XTXH bins to boot.

$75

$40 is pretty common for a 970 now, so that's not much of a brag.
Still consumerism is cancer. I hope the at home chip revolution starts already. It's going to slow to ever be relevant.

There’s something wrong with the manosphere’s concern with other men.

no you can’t check out of society that hates you.

you must toil and grind for Mr. Shekelberg

you're a retard if you're NOT a based accelerationist
TOTAL ACCELERATION NOW

Even at $600 it's still not bad. It's just better to spend that money else where, like maybe a PS5 instead or a Steam Deck.

You'll soon realize that the 'manosphere' types fucking hate gamers and nerds and secretly despise they share a coalition with them.

This whole Trump movement is really just an alliance of convenience. If these types were in power you'd be just as controlled and miserable as you would be under a leftist. It would just be a different guiding ideology.

Tell me anon. Trump introduced tarrifs, right? And after he did, companies increased the prices of those goods to offset that new cost, right?
So tell me, if not the consumer, who is paying the tarries, because both of us already know that the companies won't be.

Which tariff are you talking about?

bug men wailing in agony

i voted for this

hahahah I'm being a worthless faggot and if you call me out it actually makes YOU the faggot!

That's not how it works. Normally only half the percent of tariffs is passed onto the consumer. Never in history or even in economics papers do they assume 100% or more of the cost of the tarriffs is passed onto the consumer, especially ones you just made up. It would be a 12% rise and go from 399 to 450

This says $450

I'm sure you have the full history of every tariff ever imposed.

Switch gamers tend to be onions office men with their wife and wife's boyfriend. That's why nintendo is confident about raising prices. They know their fans will buy no matter what.

Nigger we’re on the internet. We know you’re lying so go kill yourself stupid faggot

It is the same price in the EU you fucking retard. Tariffs have nothing to do with it.

Not my problem, vidya is for chuds

Totally this. It's about time to put the joystick down.

You're both retards

Hope the kikes bomb your mom faggot.

I'll grab a few and sell them at the original American MSRP to my American friends when they come visit in the Summer.

Bought a Switch because my mom got one and it seemed pretty neat, and it looked like a more cozy way to play SNES games than my bing-bing-wahoo doorstop (softmodded 2DS)
One day, winter storm hits and power goes out. Grab my Switch, try to play Super Mario World to pass the time

You must be connected to internet to play any emulated game so we know you're not using our emulation software to pirate a 30-year-old game you paid for, goyjin!

Thing has been sitting in a drawer for years. The only real fun I've had with it was making my Animal Crossing's island flag a swastika and making the island's tune sound like the verse to Buddy Holly. I should just fucking give it to my nephew or sell it or something already. Now when I want to play Top Gear or Turtles In Time, I just play a pirated version on my doorstop instead.
I know this will affect all electronics, but fuck it. If Jidtendo sells a dozen less units because a few millennial bugmen can't justify the cost over another few Limited Edition Nigger Spiderman® Funko Pops™, I'll gladly wait another 10 years to upgrade my GPU.
Fuck it.

I just emulate Nintendo's entire library all the way through two Gamecube

Literally more content, then you will ever complete in your life.

NOT MY HECKIN' BING BING WAHOO!!!!!!!!!

DRUMPHFF YOU BASTARD. NOW YOU'VE DONE IT!!!

24% tariff

60% price hike

Either their supply chain is unfathomably fucked or Nintendo just suicided their business to "own the magas"

Sorry kid, switch 2 is too expensive now, I guess you have to stick with the one you have

based Trump helping a brotha out

Oh no what will we do without our children’s toy that is technologically 7-8 years behind the rest of consumer electronics

You'll have to go outside, talk to women and stop being a homosexual.

no they didn't

oh nooooo fuck our future economic situation i want the goyslop NOW!

NOOOOOOO NOT THE VIDYA GAEMSSSSSSSS
Mankiddies exposing themselves ITT

What's to stop me from walking to Canada, buying a Canadian Switch2, then walking home and saving 20% or whatever?

people will use an emulator

people being anyone other than kids and parents, nintendo's prime demographic. even if you make something user friendly like retroarch your son will look like a poorfag and half the town will assume you're a deadbeat. neets are a tiny market and nintendo's will sell at any price. i remember when the first iPhone seemed ridiculously expensive to most normies when it first came out and now most people have Androids twice as expensive than that and it's not even the top model.

So just don't buy it until they lower the price. You don't NEED a fucking Nintendo Switch.

wasn't going to buy it regardless because I'm not a fucking child

Any recent PC (last 5 years or so) can run a Nintendo Switch emulator just fine.

t. Played Red Dead Redemption and Mortal Kombat One on ryujinx switch emulator. I don't own a nintendo switch.

Modern video games are so shit I don't even care. If anything I want the industry to crash at this point.

They directly blamed the tariffs for delaying preorders but behind the headline admit they're not changing the drop date.
The only point of this is to stir the pot.

Smugglers are gonna Switch 2 game consoles

Nintendo lower the price

I'm already old, by then I'll be dead

Absolutely delusional

chinese botfarm gonna buy all the NA versions when they release and they'll sell it back to you at 800 dolla dolla enjoy

To be honest now that I think about it what's the point of getting excited about it now ? It's going to take atleast a year before you have a decent list of games to pick from (whatever that means). I mean how many fucking versions of zelda do you need man

The Japan region locked one is $330 which is dirt cheap
knowing anybody but a fucking idiot would buy a game at $90 they'll go back to $50/60 which even then would be on sale for half off.

i know faggots are buying it for the exclusives but any 10 year old pc can emulate those shitty games in a month or two

Homebrew your Switch if its by a chance a first generation one.

console

Who gives a fuck I can emulate an insane amount of console shit for free plus download any PC game I want for free.

This is all normie problems.

Chances are they made it $330 in Japan because Japan is notorious for being late adapters to new consoles and the Switch is by far the most successful system in Japan to date. So the low price is to pressure them to adapt early.
