Nintendo has filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by two gamers in the US, who claim the company should refund customers due to illegal tariffs affecting prices. The lawsuit stems from a price increase for the original Switch and certain peripherals in August 2025, which Nintendo attributed to 'market conditions' but was clearly linked to tariffs.

The plaintiffs argue that Nintendo has an obligation to refund customers, given that the tariffs were deemed illegal. However, Nintendo counters that customers received the products they paid for, and therefore, there is no basis for a refund.
