The gaming community is eagerly waiting for the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, 2025. However, the Japanese corporation struck the US audience with a delay in pre-orders due to the new tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. This caused the fans to worry about how significantly the hybrid console would be impacted, especially if there would be any delay in its release date or a hike in its price.
Fortunately, Nintendo has finally unveiled the new pre-order date for the Switch 2, while the release date remains the same. However, the prices of the accessories for this new generation of hybrid consoles will see a hike.
What is the Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order date in the US?
The Switch 2 was originally planned to be available for pre-order on April 9, 2025. However, Nintendo had to delay this for the US because of the country's newly imposed tariffs on electronics and imported goods from Asia. The company decided to push the pre-order dates for US customers to study the market and act accordingly.
