Nintendo says it is ‘actively assessing’ the impact of US tariffs


Nintendo is 'actively assessing' the impact of U.S. tariffs, according to a new interview from Wired.

Nintendo unveiled its highly anticipated Switch 2 last week and announced that the console would be released on June 5, priced at $450. But later that day, President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. would impose sweeping tariffs on goods imported into the country, sending the global economy into disarray. Many of the Switch 2’s parts are assembled and manufactured in China, Vietnam, and Cambodia; under Trump’s new plan, China is subject to 54% tariffs, while Cambodia and Vietnam are subject to 49% and 46% tariffs, respectively.
