In Japan, they are selling a Japanese language only model that is cheaper than the international version. Any Americans that don’t understand that and try to get around the tariffs are likely to be disappointed.
I was considering purchase a Japanese switch 2 because my Japanese is decent enough for most gaming but then I saw it was region locked pretty hard so I can’t use any of my us e shop purchases. Plus fuck Nintendo, even without the tariffs the price on this thing is a bit much and their behavior is garbage
If I ever do get one it’ll be because someone broke theirs and I got it cheap as fuck and fixed it. That’s how I got my switch, had a busted battery management IC and a fucked usb C port. I think in total I paid like $90 for it with parts. It would also help if the console was exploited for piracy
I have never lost a bet that depends on my fellow Americans being disappointed because they failed to understand something.
