Nintendo launches major sale using $300M tariff refunds, raises prices

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Nintendo is hosting a large Customer Appreciation Sale, offering discounts of up to 30% on digital and physical games, DLC, and merchandise. The company stated that this sale is partly enabled by approximately $300 million in tariff refunds it received from the US government. Despite these refunds, Nintendo recently increased prices for the Nintendo Switch 2 and other products in North America and Europe, citing market conditions, and is currently involved in a lawsuit with the US government over these tariffs.
