Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders Officially Begin This Week in the US and Canada

Previously, Nintendo announced that pre-orders for their upcoming console, the Nintendo Switch 2, were delayed. The postponement was reportedly due to tariffs imposed by the United States government, which affected international trade and distribution plans.

Rumors began to circulate after the delay, suggesting that the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 could increase significantly. Some sources claimed the initial price of $499 might rise to as high as $699 due to the new trade policies and shipping costs.

However, Nintendo has now officially confirmed that pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 will begin this month. Specifically, customers in the United States and Canada can start pre-ordering the console on April 24. The company also confirmed that the pricing remains unchanged, with no adjustments due to tariffs, ensuring buyers still get the console at the promised price, as mentioned during the previous Nintendo Direct.
