Nintendo has postponed the pre-order event for the Switch 2 in the United States due to an assessment of the latest tariff policies from President Trump. The pre-order event, originally scheduled to start on April 9, will not proceed as planned, with the specific date for restarting yet to be announced; however, the official release date on June 5 remains unchanged. Nintendo's production line has shifted to Vietnam, but the new tariff policies have affected its strategy in the U.S. market.
Nintendo has postponed the pre-order date for the U.S. Switch 2 to assess the impact of tariffs. The tech and gaming industries are being affected as the U.S. President announces details of the implementation of reciprocal tariffs.
According to reports, Nintendo stated that they will not launch the pre-order campaign for the Switch 2 next week, as they are evaluating the potential impact of the newly introduced tariff rules. Originally, Nintendo planned to initiate pre-orders in the U.S. on April 9, but due to the assessment of tariffs and changing market conditions, the pre-order event will be announced at a later date. The official release date, originally set for June 5, remains unchanged.
Earlier reports indicated that Nintendo had moved the production line for the console from China to Vietnam to address the challenges posed by tariffs. However, under the new reciprocal tariff regulations, Vietnam will also face a 46% tariff from the U.S., which has somewhat impacted Nintendo's timeline for the U.S. launch of the Switch 2.
- The Switch 2 features NVIDIA chips and DLSS technology, achieving "ten times the graphical performance of the original Switch."
