Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders delayed in US so Nintendo can "assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions"
Briefly

Nintendo has delayed pre-orders for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. from the original April 9, 2025 date. The decision comes amid significant economic shifts, including new tariffs announced by President Donald Trump that affect Japan and Vietnam, where Nintendo manufactures the device. The company aims to assess the impacts on pricing and consumer sales amid rising economic uncertainty, as rising tariffs could lead to higher retail prices for consumers, who are already facing cost of living challenges.
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.
Meanwhile, imports of the Nintendo Switch 2 could see inflated prices as tariffs make it more costly for consumers to access the console.
