US and Canadian pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 are indefinitely delayed due to new tariffs announced by President Trump. While the UK can pre-order, the US launch date of June 5th, 2025, remains unchanged. Nintendo cites the need to assess the impact of tariffs and market conditions. The initial $450 price point may also be affected. Pre-orders through Nintendo will prioritize those with a Nintendo Switch Online membership and significant playtime. The Switch 2 boasts improvements such as a larger screen, 4K docked resolution, and new Joy-Cons.
