Nintendo announced that pre-orders for the Switch 2 will be delayed beyond April 9, 2025, citing potential impacts from President Trump's tariffs. The current price and launch date of the console remain unchanged, but analysts predict a possible increase. The situation reflects Nintendo's unusual response to external economic pressures, and the ongoing unpredictability, particularly relating to the political climate, adds to the uncertainty surrounding the console's launch and pricing structure. The article highlights players' reactions and the broader context of 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.
It's very rare that a major video game company like Nintendo would backpedal this quickly after announcing a date for pre-orders.
However, with this news and the ongoing backlash from players over game prices, I'd say a lot of the Switch 2's rollout and pricing is up in the air.
We are living in wild and unprecedented times, something I'm reminded of every single time I check social media or the news.
