Nintendo's Switch 2 pre-orders delayed by Trump tariffs — June 5 launch date still on schedule

Nintendo Switch 2.

Nintendo has delayed opening pre-orders for the Switch 2 in the U.S., the company tells Tom’s Hardware, two days after the White House announced tariffs covering most nations on Earth.

“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," the company told us in an emailed statement. "Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged.”
