Nintendo tax

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."

Nintendo touch

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.

Aaron: "Damn! Mike Tyson's Punch Out won't work! I've tried everything!"

Bill: "It's okay man, let Mark try it, he's got the Nintendo touch"
