NEW YORK (ABC News) — Days after announcing the Switch 2, Nintendo said Friday it's delaying preorders for the new console due to President Donald Trump's tariffs, the company announced.
“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.”
The Switch 2 announcement on April 2, long planned, fell in the crosshairs of Trump’s trade war.
