Mar 6th 2026

Nintendo of America has joined a growing list of companies suing the U.S. government after the Supreme Court found tariffs issued under President Trump to be illegal, seeking refunds with interest for duties it paid.

  • Nintendo filed a lawsuit saying last year’s tariffs were unlawful.
  • Nintendo says it has standing because it was the importer of record for goods hit by IEEPA duties.
  • The company is seeking a refund with interest for tariffs it paid and did not disclose an amount.
  • The Supreme Court recently ruled the tariffs illegal and other firms, including Costco and Revlon, are also suing for compensation.
