Nintendo delays Switch 2 US pre-orders following Trump tariffs

Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders are delayed indefinitely while the company assesses the potential impact of the Trump administration's tariffs.

"Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the US will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions," the company told Engadget. Hours later, the Trump administration announced a sweeping set of new tariffs targeted against a broad swath of countries, including Japan, China and Vietnam. Sarah Wynn-Williams, the former Facebook policy director behind a best-selling memoir about her time at the company, will testify at a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing next week.
