Nintendo Postpones Switch 2 Pre-Orders in the U.S.

In a surprising move, Nintendo Co., Ltd. has announced a delay in the pre-order date for the highly anticipated Switch 2 console in the United States. The decision comes as a direct response to the recent imposition of reciprocal tariffs and the need to evaluate their impact on the market.

"We are postponing the pre-orders to better understand the tariffs' effects and the current market dynamics," a Nintendo spokesperson explained to IGN. The company reassures fans that the launch date remains set for June 5, 2025, despite the pre-order delay.
