In an unprecedented move, Nintendo has pushed preorders for its highly-anticipated Switch 2 to an unknown date. Why? Trump's tariffs.

"Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the US will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact," Nintendo said.

Nintendo did not reveal exact time for when you can preorder the Switch 2, but the June 5 release date is still ‘unchanged.’

Nintendo is pushing back preorders for the Switch 2 due to concerns about Donald Trump’s newly announced tariffs. According to a statement sent to The Verge by Eddie Garcia on behalf of Nintendo, it says preorders will no longer begin on April 9th:

High tariffs on Vietnam and Cambodia have caused Nintendo to push back the preorder date for the Switch 2 as the company assesses market conditions.

Spooked by Trump's new tariffs, Nintendo is pausing console pre-orders in the US. However, the June 5 launch remains unchanged.

It unveiled the console on Wednesday just hours before the president announced a wave of global tariffs.

Nintendo said it is delaying the start of pre-orders for the Switch 2 gaming device in the United States as it examines the potential impact of tariffs.

Nintendo will retail the Switch 2 for $449.99 at launch, which is significantly higher than the original Switch's $299 price tag. A separate bundle that includes the new "Mario Kart World" game will also be available for $499.99.
