So my take is that if I've been putting off purchasing some Switch 1 games I should get them now.

Nintendo of Canada just announced that Canadian pre-orders are being delayed as well. Not that I was going to get a Switch 2 at launch anyway but it sure sucks that our country, for which the tariffs do not apply, is also having its pre-order delayed.
So does the price go up for us too? It's already $700 for the Mario Kart bundle! I see pre-orders for games that are $100. They go even higher and they might as well not release the damn thing in Canada.
I feel for Canada after all that Canada has done in the semi recent fires in LA is being punished by a man who has no clue what he is doing and is taking account emotions and how he was wrong to affect the US allies.
In the past gens were the prices of games lower or higher than US prices Ian?
Won't this also impact the MSRP on Playstation and XBox consoles? Does a company like Microsoft have more influence here or does that even matter?
If these tariffs stay EVERYTHING is going up. There's a reason the stock market is literally imploding right now. Nintendo was just the first one to be unlucky and announce a new product literally on the same day the tariffs were announced. No company is eating an extra 30-50% tax that wasn't on their products before.
Question for my Canadian friends. Are the increases from US$ to CA$ consistent with cost of living and other costs or is this specific to Nintendo products?
