Nintendo (NTDOY) delayed Canada and U.S. preorders for the Switch 2 after President Donald Trump announced his Liberation Day tariffs. While those tariffs have been put on hold for 90 days, Nintendo has not provided a new date for when it will start preorders of the upcoming video game console.
Even so, this hasn’t stopped rumors from spreading about when Nintendo will allow gamers in Canada and the U.S. to start preordering the Switch 2. The latest rumors claim that Nintendo will open preorders on April 23 or April 30. Gamers are looking forward to these dates as they anxiously await preorders after the initial April 9 date has canceled.
Switch 2 Release & Price Details
Gamers already know that Nintendo will release the Switch 2 on June 5, 2025. What’s still unclear is how much it will cost. While the company did reveal $450 as the price of the console, that was before President Trump’s Liberation Day event. With the confusion caused by the tariffs and the recent hold on them, it’s unclear if Nintendo will stick with that price for the Switch 2.
Gamers also know the launch titles that will release alongside the Switch 2. A few notable ones include Mario Kart World, Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, Deltarune, Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster, and Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut.
