Nintendo Postpones Switch 2 Release in Mainland China

According to a report by Nikkei, Nintendo Co., Ltd has decided to delay the launch of its highly anticipated new video game console, the Switch 2, in mainland China. This decision comes in response to the increasing regulatory pressures from Beijing on the gaming industry.

Hong Kong Release Remains on Schedule

Despite the delay in mainland China, the new console is still slated for release in Hong Kong, indicating a strategic adjustment by Nintendo to navigate the complex regulatory landscape in the region.

Previous Delays in the United States

This isn't the first time Nintendo has postponed the Switch 2's market entry. The company had previously delayed pre-orders in the United States due to the uncertainty surrounding President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs.
