Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders in the United States were to start on April 9, but it seems that these plans have changed due to the new prices imposed this week by President Donald Trump. It is not clear if it means that Nintendo will also have to increase the price of the switch’s successor, which is currently starting at $ 450.
Nintendo said on Friday that it delays SWITCH 2 pre-orders in the United States, but its June release date is not affected.
“Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders in the United States will not start on April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of changing prices and market conditions,” the company said in a statement. “Nintendo will update the calendar on a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged.”
Nintendo has not indicated whether pre-order dates outside the United States would change, but Eurogamer reports This pre-order is live in various retailers in the United Kingdom.
A 24% price was applied by the United States to Japan goods. If this rate was applied directly to the announced price of Switch 2, it would increase at $ 558, but it would belong to Nintendo the amount of price it transmits to consumers.
