I'm buying White for Zekrom

I'm still in the midst of DQIX. The game is one of the most massive JRPG's ever made >_<

I so want to buy it but it has the Nintendo tax >_>

What's the Nintendo tax? o.o

Thats a mexican thing every game from Nintendo cost more than ANY (non bundled game) third party game, the regular DS price is 600 but because is Nintendo the price is 700 and for Wii the regular price is 900 but because is Nintendo the price is 1000 and the Nintendo games NEVER drop in price and the Square Enix games drop very fast, I could buy Kingdom Hearts DS for 300

Is that kind of law video game exclusive, or does it exist in other electronic departments in Mexico, for other brands as well?

It's a bit unfair to put up those kind of laws, not only for the consumer, but for those manufacturers as well. That creates unfair competition advantages for the non-taxed companies.
