Nintendo Switch 2 preorders delayed in US thanks to tariff trade war, potentially increasing console’s price
Hold off on your April 9 "sick day" to secure a Nintendo Switch 2 preorder, American gamers. The date has now been delayed, according to a statement released by Nintendo. The US announced "reciprocal tariffs" earlier this week against a large amount of countries around the world, including a 46 percent tariff on Vietnam, where Nintendo recently moved some of its hardware production to. Screenshot by Destructoid “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,” Nintendo told Polygon. “Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged.” The impact of the tariffs imposed by the US could increase the price of the Switch 2 in the country. It's already $449, compared to the equivalent of $333 in Japan, but that price could potentially go higher to offset the tariff costs. This is a breaking news story. It's currently being updated in real time. The post Nintendo Switch 2 preorders delayed in US thanks to tariff trade war, potentially increasing console’s price appeared first on Destructoid.
