Nintendo has postponed the pre-order phase for the Switch 2, originally set to begin on April 9, due to new U.S. import tariff plans. The delay is linked to proposed tariffs by the Trump administration, which would impose a 54% duty on goods from China and 46% from Vietnam—both major manufacturing hubs for Nintendo. As a result, the company is reassessing its costs and pricing strategy. The good news? The official launch date, June 5, 2025, remains unchanged. Though there’s a slight delay, exciting days still lie ahead for gamers.
