Nintendo of America is suing the United States government over the sweeping tariffs President Donald Trump put in place last year. Though the Supreme Court has stymied the tariffs for the time being, the situation remains in flux for companies producing goods manufactured outside the U.S. and sent stateside.

Lawyers write in the complaint, filed Friday in the U.S. Court of International Trade and obtained by Aftermath, that since Feb. 1, 2025, Trump has implemented "unlawful" executive orders "imposing tariffs on imports from a vast swath of countries." The company is asking the court to refund "with interest" the tariffs it paid. "[Nintendo of America] has standing to sue because it is the importer of record for goods that were subject to IEEPA Duties," lawyers write, noting that the company "suffered injury" from those tariffs.

Read the complaint here. Aftermath has reached out to both Nintendo and the White House for comment.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

Nintendo you don't really have a good track record when it comes to punching up. Are you sure you want to do this? I think you should go back to what you are doing best. Suing random people who have done nothing to you but don't have money to defend themselves.
 
Looking forward to Trump implementing an import ban on all Nintendo products. The amount of seething generated could power all of the AI data centers that the tech industry wants to build.
 
Nintendo is more of an hegemony of american bankers at this point, but can't pull a Sony and move to their main operations to NoA without massive catastrophe for the Japanese so what's the next best thing: try to get the government to remove all tariffs so that you feel happier about yourself!

It would be pretty funny if they sued individual lawmakers.
 
I'll just repost what I said about this in USPG2

Oh it's legitimately over. Several companies even outside of Nintendo are lining up to file lawsuits against the US government after the SCOTUS struck down tariffs. The Trump admin is about to get raped so hard that America will never have its own manufacturing ever again. People are already siding with Nintendo on this by default because the Trump admin's PR is just that shit now.

No, Orange Hitler Child, you will NOT make it harder for us to sell autism plastic to bingbingwahoos like the centuries old Pachinko hall that we are
 
Nintendo artificial scarcity is well documented by this point. No leg to stand on when they've purposefully hobbled their own market access for better profits.
