The Nintendo Switch 2 and Trump’s Trade Warfare : Are They a “Seismic Shift” for the Auto Industry?
The Switch 2 costs $449.99 and comes with several upgrades, including a larger 7.9-inch 1080p display, 256GB of storage, and a C-button for in-game chats. We don’t know yet whether the Switch 2 or its accessories will go up in price in response to the tariffs. The Switch 2 is already significantly more expensive than its $299 predecessor, while its games have a steeper $69.99 to $79.99 price.
Based on hands-on reports from my colleagues, the Switch 2 seems like another excellent device, with upgrades like an improved Nvidia processor and a bigger screen with support for HDR and 120fps framerates. Nintendo games such as Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza seem to be shaping up well.
On Wednesday the Nintendo Switch 2 was shown, the same day that Trump announced his tariffs on a number of US trade partners. Steve Jackson Games, the board game maker, said that this latest round of tariffs will be a’seismic shift’ for the industry, and that it will be a “debacle of epic proportions” for the auto industry.
