Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders in U.S. delayed over Trump’s tariffs
Nintendo will not take preorders for its new game console next week as it evaluates the impact of President Donald Trump’s new, far-reaching tariffs, the company said Friday.
The Japanese electronics giant had been set to accept Switch 2 advance orders in the United States on Wednesday, but that’s now been pulled off the table — though Nintendo insisted that its June 5 launch date “is unchanged.”
“Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions,” according to a company statement. “Nintendo will update timing at a later date. “
The company just revealed details of the hotly anticipated Switch 2 two days ago, saying it would sell for $449.99.
That same day, Trump revealed he would hit Japanese imports with a 24% tariff.
