Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders delayed, new price hike likely - here's why
Briefly

Nintendo announced on April 4 the delay of pre-orders for the Switch 2 in the US due to the need to assess the impact of new tariffs and fluctuating market conditions. While the launch date of June 5 remains unchanged, the recent tariffs could significantly increase the console's price, with predictions of up to a 50% increase. The gaming community is reacting negatively to the potential rise in cost, given the Switch's original pricing.
Nintendo announced it would delay pre-orders for the upcoming Switch 2 to assess tariff impacts, while maintaining the June 5 launch date.
The gaming giant's postponement follows President Trump's economic tariffs affecting Asian countries, where many tech products, including the Switch 2, are manufactured.
