Two Nintendo customers have filed a class action lawsuit against the company, seeking refunds for higher prices paid due to now-invalidated tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. The suit, filed on April 21 in the United States District Court’s Western District of Washington, argues that Nintendo passed tariff costs to consumers while pursuing government refunds. As first reported by Aftermath, the plaintiffs aim to prevent Nintendo from profiting twice from the same payments.
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has stated that the company is closely watching rising RAM prices and tariffs, which could potentially affect the Nintendo Switch 2's pricing. In a recent interview, Furukawa emphasized that there is no immediate impact on earnings but the situation requires ongoing attention. The executive outlined Nintendo's strategy to mitigate these economic pressures through long-term planning.
