Nintendo delays Switch 2 US pre-orders following Trump tariffs

Nintendo is delaying US Switch 2 pre-orders in response to the sweeping tariffs announced by President Donald Trump earlier this week, reports Polygon. As of Nintendo's announcement of the console on Wednesday, pre-orders in the United States were scheduled to open on April 9. They're now delayed indefinitely.

"Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the US will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions," the company told Polygon. "Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged."

Nintendo did not immediately respond to Engadget's comment request.
