Nintendo Switch 2 Pre -orders were delayed in us due to Trump’s rates
Nintendo Switch 2 Pre -orders in the US had to start on April 9th, but it seems that these plans have changed because of New rates imposed this week by President Donald Trump. It is unclear if this means that Nintendo will also have to increase the price of the heir of the switch, which currently starts at $ 450.
Nintendo said on Friday that it slows down Switch 2 Pre -orders in the US, but the date of exit in June is not affected.
“Pre -orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the US will not start on April 9, 2025 to evaluate the potential impact of tariffs and developing market conditions,” the company said. “Nintendo will update the time on a later date. The date of launch on June 5, 2025 is unchanged.”
Nintendo did not indicate whether the pre -order dates outside the US will change, but Eurogamer reports These pre -orders are live at various retailers in the UK.
A 24% tariff has been applied by the United States for goods from Japan. If this rate is applied directly to the announced price of Switch 2, it will rise to $ 558, but it will depend on Nintendo how much of the tariff will transmit to the users.
