“Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions. Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged,” a representative of the company said in a comment to CNBC.

Nintendo released information about the Switch 2—its first new gaming console in eight years—Wednesday, and said its launch price would be $449.99, which is significantly more than the original Switch launched at. Forbes has reached out to Nintendo for comment.
