Japan - Nintendo's official website makes Nintendo games seem cheaper

GN Version 5.0

Nintendo is pulling a bit of a fast one with its game listings on its official Japanese site. The site features thumbnails for all upcoming Wii U and 3DS games, third parties included. Those thumbnails list a date and price as well. For all Nintendo games, prices are listed without tax. On the other hand, all third party games are listed with tax. The wording on each image does indicate with/without tax, but just quickly scrolling through the listings might give one the impression that Nintendo's titles are cheaper overall. Wonder why Nintendo is going out of its way to list games + tax with third parties, but their own games sans tax.
