Who would've thought that the Nintendo Switch 2 console launch could be so controversial? From extortionate game prices to US preorders being put on hold, it's not looking too good for Nintendo right now. We've been keeping tabs on stock levels for Nintendo Switch 2 preorders for the last few days now, and it looks like stock in the UK is fluctuating, while US retailers are yet to offer more than a "coming soon" blurb to console listings.
Nintendo announced that its next-gen console would go on sale on 9 April for a 5 June release date, but then... things happened. The company isn't entirely to blame, however, since it seems that Trump's US tariffs have caused quite the headache for retailers. There could be a glimmer of hope for Nintendo fans now that Trump has announced a 90-day pause on higher tariffs for most countries, so fingers crossed that this won't have a huge impact on Nintendo Switch 2 preorders for much longer.
