Nintendo Sues the Trump Administration Over Tariffs

Posted on by

Nintendo has joined hundreds of corporations suing the Trump Administration to get back tariffs paid.  Those tariffs were deemed illegal by the U.S. Supreme Court towards the end of February.

Nintendo is an interesting court case as it not only can show “injury” from the tariffs paid, but it not only raised prices, it delayed pre-orders for the Switch 2.

Nintendo is asking for a refund of the IEEPA duties paid along with interest, reasonable attorney fees, and granting any more relief that might be “just and proper.”

The question still remains if consumers will see any relief from this whether in the form of getting money back, especially those who paid tariffs directly, or in lower retail prices.

Get a look at Yoshi in the latest Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer

Posted on by

New galaxies. New friends. Yoshi joins the adventure. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is only in theaters April 1.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is an animated film based on the world of Super Mario Bros., and follows The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which was released in 2023 and earned more than $1.3 billion worldwide. Both the 2023 film and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie are produced by Chris Meledandri of Illumination and Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo.

The film is co-financed by Universal Pictures and Nintendo and will be released worldwide by Universal Pictures.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is directed by returning filmmakers Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, from a screenplay by returning screenwriter Matthew Fogel, with Brian Tyler returning to compose the score.

It stars Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, Benny Safdie, Kevin Michael Richardson, and Brie Larson.

Trump’s Tariff Tax Delays Nintendo’s Switch 2 Pre-Orders

Posted on by
Nintendo Switch 2

Nintendo recently officially revealed the Switch 2, the successor to their popular Switch video game console. The pre-orders were to being on April 9, but Nintendo has announced that it is delaying the pre-orders due to the new tariffs enacted in the US by President Trump set to go into effect on April 5. The new console was to retail for $450 but the tariffs could, and likely would, drive the price much higher.

The official statement from Nintendo:

Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions. Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged.

President Trump announced a 10% across the board tariff rate with some countries seeing much higher rates including China, Vietnam, and Japan, where a lot of video game production happens.

In 2023 the top five countries who exported video game-related equipment included:

  1. China (accounting for 58.1% of exports)
  2. Japan (6.75)
  3. United States (5.6%)
  4. Vietnam (4.5%)
  5. Germany (4.3%)

What makes Nintendo’s decision and launch more difficult is the erratic nature of President Trump who has threatened and enacted a lot of economic hardship and has often delayed the implementation or soon walked it back after implementation.
