Nintendo tax is when a multi-platform video game is priced abnormally high on all platforms as a result of also being released on a Nintendo platform.
Nintendo Switch game prices are notoriously high (called the switch tax) and Nintendo apparently requires some form of parity on prices as part of their contract. As a result, game prices seem to become inflated even on other platforms that are not Nintendo platforms.

Bob: "This game is a straight port of a ten year old game! why is it so expensive??? "
Joe: "look, it's also on the switch... "
Bob: "Ah, I see, it's the Nintendo tax."

Get the Nintendo taxmug. A great system that had quite a few awesome games, like oot and Goldeneye. Unfortunatly, it suffred from many of the problems that come with the limitations of using Cartriges, such as a lack of any CD Audio (meaning they had to use MIDI, which is shitty)

Get the Nintendo 64mug. Kick ass console, the greatest and finest of its age.
Games like Super Mario World, Super Metroid, Sim City, Bubsy the Bobcat and Donkey Kong Country 3 made it at it's greatest.

Get the super nintendomug. A person who praises Nintendo who believes gaming would have died in the 80's if Nintendo wasn't around and thinks less of others who don't prefer Nintendo over games. Usually these unique snowflakes spend more time on internet forums writing essays defending and praising Nintendo, yet these people spend more time online defending a company other than playing games. These people love to bash games like Call of Duty (equally as awful) for being the 'same shit every year" but they buy every release of Super Mario and defend the series and usually end up calling you dumb or not a "real gamer" *cringe intensifies*
Random guy online: I'm not a big Nintendo fan I much prefer Xbox or Playstation because they offer what I want
Nintendo Fanboy: REALLY?! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT GOOD GAMING IS AND HONESTLY YOU SHOULDN'T BE GAMING IF YOU CANT SEE THAT NINTENDO IS WAY BETTER THAN FUCKING MICROSHIT AND SONY
Nintendo fanboy: Nintendo is so mistreated because gamers today are fucking retarded and only want good graphics and a game that offers a gun in their hand
Regular Gamer: Wrong, Nintendo simply doesnt offer good 3rd party support and their 1st party games arent that good to justify buying a Nintendo console. Saying that people only want good graphics and 1st person shooters for not liking what you like is silly.
Nintendo fanboy: OMG YOU FAKE GAMERS ARE ALL THE SAME, YOU PLAY SHIT GAMES WHILE I HAVE A GOOD TASTE IN GAMES LIKE MARIO AND ZELDA. -grammatical errors were intended in this example-

Get the Nintendo Fanboymug. The ability to make an NES game work when it will not load properly. This can be achieved to pushing it in lightly, slamming it down, or, the classic blowing into the cartridge.
This problem often occurs due to the age and condition of the cartridge.
