They somehow still haven’t priced in the tariffs
- I think they might have tried to factor them in, but couldn't have predicted a 46% tariff on Vietnam
- Do the tariffs impact digital downloads of software? I figure they'll increase the price regardless
  
  Nintendo is probably going to opt increasing licensing fees if the console profit margins drop, so it’s probably going to increase costs of games across the board (even companies with zero physical presence).

Don't forget to tip at least 420% of your playtime
- now imagining an even more cursed world where I have to ask myself if a sidequest will be interesting enough to justify paying an extra $3 to play it out
  keep the lathe the fuck away from me
  
  I think dragon age already did this, an npc offered you a tip on a cool quest if you greased his palm and when you said yes it opened up the dlc page.

Not that I feel bad for the big N at all, but it's kind of interesting that they got the first big backlash from tariffs (which I assume the $450 figure was hedging for). The game MSRP hike is anti-consumer, though.
If the people want their treats they should be mad at Trump, not Nintendo.

I'll be going to the custom tip amount and entering 100% so I can say, 'THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE MIYAMOTO ON BEHALF OF ALL GAMERS'

Since it's Nintendo, shocked that the min amount isn't starting at 25%
