Nintendo of America announces 'Customer Appreciation Sale'
The Customer Appreciation Sale is our way of saying thank you to Nintendo players for their continued support and is made possible in part by tariff-related refunds. While Nintendo absorbed most tariff-related costs, the refunds helped make promotions like this one possible.

A cheap PR campaign that requires further customer spending and entrenches their prior price increases.
Right? It's tempting at first to think "at least they did something", but they kinda didn't...
"Sorry we overcharged you, if it makes you feel better you can buy more of our stuff!"
Didn't Nintendo pass tariffs onto customers and then put out a statement saying they weren't entitled to refunds. "Made possible by refunds," as if they aren't the ones setting their own ridiculous prices.
Probably, like many other companies. And US customers payed for it anyway...
And even for a PR stunt like this they won't go lower than the usual 30%.
We won't sue our fans for 24 hours!
So gracious of them 🤤
"You can spend more money on us at a slightly less insanely inflated cost that is still extremely profitable for us."
When your Public Image is so bad you actually have to announce that you are Appreciating your own customers
If they really want to share customer appreciation because of tarried refunds then cancel the switch 2 price hike. Anything less is just using current events for marketing gimmicks
Tariff refunds please.

"Customer Appreciate Sale" (places no controls on limited edition switch 2, sells out immediately to only scalpers.........)
Is this only on the US site?
