Nintendo has announced it will delay the start of pre-orders for its upcoming Switch 2 gaming device in the United States, originally scheduled for April 9. The company stated that the delay is due to its need to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions.
Despite the delay in pre-orders, Nintendo confirmed that the official launch date for the Switch 2 remains unchanged, set for June 5.
The decision comes as U.S. President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on countries worldwide continue to affect global trade, with concerns that the ongoing trade war could lead to higher prices for consumer goods, including gaming consoles.
