Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Preorders In US Due To Trump Tariffs

by

In the U.S., if you’re eagerly anticipating the pre-order of the Nintendo Switch 2, it seems like you’ll need to exercise some patience. The reason being that Nintendo has disclosed a delay in US pre-orders for the Switch 2, owing to the recently imposed tariffs by President Donald Trump.

According to Nintendo’s statement, they plan to examine how the tariffs might affect sales in the U.S. market before they start accepting purchases.

Nintendo announced that pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. won’t begin on April 9, 2025. They want to evaluate the possible effects of tariffs and changing market conditions first. They will share a new timeline later on. The original launch date of June 5, 2025 remains the same.

The pre-sale for the newly released console continues smoothly, with it being accessible in certain regions, while others will get theirs as scheduled.

The long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 is officially set to release on June 5, 2025 in the United States, priced at $449.99. Anticipation runs high as many retailers, both brick-and-mortar and online, are expected to start accepting pre-orders from their opening hours. As of now, you can find the console listed on websites like Gamestop and Best Buy, but there is no information available about pre-ordering at this time.

We have contacted several American retailers for their input regarding the recent delay. If we receive any replies, they will be incorporated into this article.
