I’m going to be honest: a year ago, I didn’t know what tariff was. But now that they have become a central pillar of US foreign policy – for reasons, no one but the president begins to understand himself – I have informed the subject very much. Last week’s ‘Liberation Day’ announcements not only removed from the Nintendo Switch 2 cells, they presented a global series of events that could practically affect everything that buys everything for the future – including video games.
The price situation is far from the schedule, and as we expect from this administration, everything can completely change at a moment’s notice. But so far, it is better to take it seriously, just as Nintendo has delayed switch 2 pre -orders, unless we have more information.

Nintendo said why switch 2 is so expensive, and these are not revenues
Doug Baiser explains why the original switch of switch 2 costs so much, and these are not Trump’s revenue.
As a result of President Trump’s “mutual prices”, it has been predicted that the price of many imported goods will increase. How open to the goods and currently speculators, but if you are considering making some purchases right now to avoid paying higher price (and you have no objection to taking financial advice from the Arm Chair economist who is currently wearing a pakchu chapel).
Pc hardware
If you are in the market for a new Nvidia RTX 50-Series graphics card, okay, you now have some problems. It is difficult to find them in stock, they are even more difficult to find in stock for MSRP, and find them in stock for MSRP before the impact of prices? This is a long order. Your best condition is to leave work for a few days of holiday and go out at your local micro center. Maybe bring a lot, a very long book.
GPU is not the only hardware created outside the United States. While some memory is made in the United States, both Samsung and Hanks are prepared in Korea. 80 % of Mother Boards are made in Taiwan or China, while hard drives and SSDs are usually manufactured in Malaysia, Thailand, China or Singapore.
Basically, if you need PC parts, their importing is a great opportunity, which means they will be subject to new taxes.
Handheld emulators
In the past few years, watching handheld retro console boom has been amazing. Companies like Vivic and Retrods are pumping some really impressive devices at amazing cheap prices. If you imitate any kind of retro games, on the way to the WiI to the Attari and the Game Boy, it is much easier and better than ever.
Some famous devices like retrude pockets currently go for about $ 220, while inbrane RG40 XX can be found for less than $ 100 on Amazon, such as cheap but still high quality devices. Both of these devices were built by Chinese companies, on which the president has just announced a 34 % tariff. There is no guarantee that these devices will be cheaper for longer.
Trading card games
Fortunately, many Japanese TCGs are now printed in the United States. 24 % of tariffs on Japan cannot affect Pokémon cards, but there are many TCGs that are imported directly from Japan. These include Bandai Games such as One Piece, Digmone, Wheat, Meat and Blood, and Weiss Schwarz. The changed Paris comes from, while the next league of legends is being launched in TCG, Rift Bound, China. It is not clear whether it will be hidden or imported by the state.
Beldis, both belonging to Both Toma Tommy and Hussew, have been manufactured in a factory in Japan.
Physical Games
The switch cartridges are manufactured by Taiwanese company Macronics, so this week it feels reluctant to eliminate Nintendo’s pre -orders. As far as PlayStation and Xbox Games are concerned, too much All video game discs are developed in Mexico these days. If 25 % tariff sticks, analysts have expected that the cost will be given to consumers, or the physical games will be fully present in favor of digital.
My intention is not to scare you to run to buy more and more, but it is being informed about where your products come from and how they can affect these taxes. If you are planning to buy an imported item, it would be a good idea to do it soon instead of soon. If you just want to buy things because you are afraid of losing a good deal, it is called fumo, and you are better.
Keep your eyes peeled as soon as the tariff situation is ready, and if and when everything gets more expensive, at least you will know why this is happening.
