"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. "

High tariffs on Vietnam and Cambodia have caused Nintendo to push back the preorder date for the Switch 2 as the company assesses market conditions.

Wednesday's reveal of the Switch 2 had a lot of buzz from Nintendo surrounding its successor to the Switch. One shocking bit, though, was the high price of its games. There's a lot of confusion, especially with news of President Donald Trump's increased tariffs on many trading partners, including Japan.
