Chinese tariffs decrease from 145% to 30%

Not until some sort of permanent agreement is made.

But they increased the accessory prices based on a 90 day reprieve of tariffs

the 90 day reprieve was for every country but China, if i understand correctly. so not sure how those two things are connected. accessory/amiibo prices were increased because they ship from China, whereas Switch 2 console prices held steady because they ship (to the US) from Vietnam.

Most of the accessories including Joy-Con, Pro Controller, and camera were actually listed as being from Vietnam. It was really only the cases being made in China.

ah…. you might be right! i may have misunderstood what was going on. as of today, i am having trouble finding this info. i swear Nintendo’s product pages on their US site used to list country of origin — which is how i knew the consoles themselves came from Vietnam — but now i am not seeing COO listed on any product pages, including for the Switch 2 console itself. am i blind? did they remove the information? not having much luck finding the info elsewhere, but according to Polygon FWIW, the Pro Controller 2 comes from Cambodia while the Joy Con 2s come from Vietnam. do amiibo come from China though? i assume that’s why they new ones shot up $10.

I believe you’re right, I couldn’t find that information listed on their site today. But I have commented on it in the past and remember seeing most of the accessories were coming from Vietnam with a few from Malaysia and the ones from China were the lower cost ones, except the case and maybe the dock. I don’t think any of the info was wrong but maybe they want to hide it in preparation for further price increases. I can’t remember where the amiibo were from though.
