Overview

  • Reliable leaker billbil-kun reports that Canadian retailers are set to begin Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders on April 23, 2025, though the date is subject to change.
  • U.S. pre-order dates remain uncertain, with leaks indicating potential start dates of April 21 or April 30, depending on the retailer.
  • Pre-orders were initially delayed in both Canada and the U.S. due to tariffs imposed by former President Donald Trump, which complicated pricing and supply chain logistics.
  • Tariffs on Vietnam-made goods have been reduced to 10%, but those on China-made consoles remain high, potentially impacting the final price of the Switch 2.
  • Despite pre-order delays, Nintendo reaffirms its commitment to the global launch of the Switch 2 on June 5, 2025, as originally planned.
