Nintendo has postponed pre-orders for the Switch 2, originally set for April 9, due to newly imposed tariffs by the Trump administration affecting manufacturing costs. The game console, priced at $449.99, is still scheduled for launch on June 5, 2025. Nintendo's decision reflects concerns over the tariffs' impact on production in countries like China and Vietnam, which could further increase the console's price for U.S. consumers. The company plans to provide updates on the pre-order timing in response to evolving market conditions.
"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."
"Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged."
