Nintendo uses $300M tariff refunds for 30% off sale, not customer rebates

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Nintendo of America is holding a "Customer Appreciation Sale" offering 30% off games and accessories from September 13 to 26, utilizing $300 million in tariff refunds. However, customers who purchased the Switch 2 at inflated prices due to these tariffs will not receive direct refunds. This move comes as many companies are pocketing similar refunds after passing increased costs onto consumers. Nintendo of America is also facing a proposed class action lawsuit alleging customers are being made whole twice. AI
