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.

Get the Nintendo tax mug.A portmanteau of Nintendo and otaku. A die-hard Nintendo fanboy. The typical Nintendotaku spends their days playing motion- and touch-controlled "casual" games rather than games with any depth or maturity. They are also usually very immature and refuse to acknowledge any positives of the 360, PS3, and PSP, as well as any negatives of the Wii and DS. When pressured to explain their obsessive love of the company (or their obsessive hate of its competitors), they often provide absurd reasons, such as the company's "family-friendly" nature, or the PS3 and 360 being more expensive, despite containing more features and good games than the Wii.
