Nintendo requests court dismissal of lawsuit regarding tariff refunds

Nintendo has filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit that seeks tariff refunds for customers who purchased its products, including the Switch console. The company argues that customers have no legal right to the refunds it is set to receive from the government. In the motion, Nintendo stated that the plaintiffs are asking the court to create a legal obligation to retroactively adjust prices for past sales due to changes in the legal landscape. The lawsuit was initiated in April by two customers, Gregory Hoffert from California and Prashant Sharan from Washington, who are representing a class of U.S. residents that bought Nintendo products between February 2025 and February 2026. They allege unjust enrichment and a violation of the Washington Consumer Protection Act.
