The pre-order schedule for the Switch 2 in the U.S. has been pushed back by Nintendo, owing to worries about potential new tariffs on electronic goods.
On Tuesday, April 2nd, the long-awaited release date for the Switch 2 was officially confirmed as June 5th. Excitingly, Nintendo also disclosed that pre-orders will become available from April 9th, which is only a week after the announcement.
Enthusiasts can’t wait to get their hands on the upcoming next-generation hybrid console, and certain stores in the UK are now giving people the opportunity to pre-order it.
Unfortunately, U.S. customers will need to be patient, as the pre-orders for the Switch 2 have been postponed indefinitely.
Nintendo pauses Switch 2 pre-orders indefinitely
Last Friday, April 4th, they shared a statement disclosing the sad news about pre-ordering the US Switch 2.)
It was announced that pre-sales for the Nintendo Switch 2 in the United States won’t begin on April 9, 2025. This is so they can evaluate how possible tariffs and changing market circumstances might affect it.
The firm hasn’t specified yet when pre-orders will open for American clients, but they’ve ensured us that the launch date on June 5th still stands firm.
On April 2, 2025, President Trump declared tariffs on a wide range of countries worldwide, such as Japan, China, and Vietnam. Interestingly, despite being originally based in Japan, Nintendo had relocated its production of the Switch console to Vietnam as early as 2019.
To find out the final cost of the console once it’s released, we need to keep an eye on potential changes in its price due to tariffs, which might further inflate the existing high price of $449.99. Additional costs for games and accessories would be added later.
When the company begins U.S. pre-orders, it’s essential for buyers to follow its anti-scalping regulations to secure a purchase directly from them.
As a devoted fan, here’s how I would rephrase it: “To join us, you’ll need to register for an exclusive invitation, prove that you’ve invested at least 50 hours into gaming on your beloved Nintendo Switch 1, and demonstrate your commitment by being a valued member of the Nintendo Switch Online community for more than a year.
