Haha. you have no idea obviously. Nintendo did their Direct without having prices on the video because they anticipated tariffs to affect their stuff. The console is made in Vietnam but even that country was going to get a % raise in tariffs. it was even said only their accessories would be affected at launch and they would eat the extra cost add to the console since it's minimal (some parts of it is still made in China). Nintendo has stated they can still end up being forced to raise the price post launch. Those Amiibos going from $15.99 to $29.99 wasn't jacked up so high just because of profits.
Literally every single accessory went up in price after the initial Nintendo Direct. They announced prices, then a couple weeks later, they announced everything went up by 5-10% each, and it was 100% because of tariffs.

$10 cheaper is great. pre tariff these were probably going to be $79.99 or $74.99. tempted to get one. I want the two extra buttons and remapping functions but I don't need a third pro controller lol.

Charging grip has the GL/GR buttons for a cheaper option.

Yes from what I have read. Minus the c button which the new controller has.
