Nintendo has announced when Americans can begin pre-ordering the Switch 2, and they’ve also confirmed that the console’s initial pricing will stay the same.
On the 2nd of April, 2025, Nintendo officially unveiled that the next version of their Switch console, known as the Switch 2, will hit global shelves on the 5th of June. Pre-orders for this highly anticipated device can be placed from the 9th of April onwards.
On the very same day, President Donald Trump imposed fresh tariffs on both China and Vietnam. This unexpected move led to Nintendo postponing the release of pre-orders for their next-generation console in the U.S. indefinitely.
Nintendo has disclosed the date for when pre-orders can be made within the country, and they’ve also assured that the console’s initial release price will stay unchanged.
