From another article:

Reporting from Bloomberg indicated that Nintendo had apparently anticipated an amount of tariff-related chaos. In February, Nintendo had been building "a stockpile of millions of consoles" from Vietnam, where two-thirds of assembled consoles are now being earmarked for shipments to the US. Any Nintendo consoles assembled in China, meanwhile, would face an import tariff that—at time of writing—has risen to 245%.

Seems like they're using the tried and true method to avoid the tariffs but I do wonder how long this will actually last then.

wait... is it 145% or 245% ?

I had heard previously the tariff would be 145% so I guess this is referring to a total price of 245%.

Give it another week and it will be 345%...
