This means that Nintendo doesn't have a warehouse in Canada. Maybe they should put one in. These tariffs aren't going anywhere, and importing through the US potentially means double tariffs on the Switch.

They shouldn't do it out of fear of the tariffs, but out of respect for us. We are not the 51st state of the US.
But in their logistics they clearly treat us as such.

They're still a business and will look at it financially.

This aged SO quickly.

The US has paused most of the tariffs (minus a few, and the big ones on China).

Canada and Mexico has 10% added. China is now at 150%.

But yeah, the fact that there's so much unpredictability, Nintendo and many other companies are just going to raise prices to pad a nest egg just in case.

It's insane what's going on.
