    Yeah, bullshit. They’re just using tariffs to further increase the price.

    100 bucks cheaper in Japan than any other region? 90 dollar games that never go on sale?

    Get bent, Nintendo, I’ll stick to the steam deck and wait for emulation.

      Someone doesn’t understand the full story. The Yen is weak. Super weak when compared to the US dollar. Hence the price difference for their country.

      Additionally, those special consoles will be soft region locked. Only JP accounts can be added to them and will display Japanese only if the game supports that language.

      Games never go on sale, what are you on about? We see Nintendo games go on sale frequently. Sorry they’re not the $5 dumpster trash that EA/Ubisoft shits out every year with their latest madden or CoD/Just Dance games riddled with bugs.

        The Nordic prices are ridiculous though. It’s the equivalent of adding ~200 euro to the regular European price. I bet lots of people here are going to import from other EU countries

          Power in Norway have said pre-orders have been “fantastisk bra”. So doesn’t seem the price bothers us.

            Norway is richer on average though. Let’s see how sales go after the initial introduction
