Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Order Date DELAYED In USA After Tariffs

[RAMROD 115,150]

Nintendo has taken the unprecedented decision to delay Switch 2 pre-orders in the U.S., blaming the impact of Trump’s tariffs and “evolving market conditions.”

Pre-orders were set to go live on April 9. Nintendo did not share an updated kick-off date.

Nintendo issued IGN the following statement:

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.

Nintendo announced the Switch 2 at $449.99, with a Mario Kart World bundle priced $499.99. Mario Kart World itself is priced $79.99.

The world is now left with economic uncertainty, with some mainstream news media delcaring the era of cheap goods now over for the American consumer. Some economists are predicting higher tariffs will automatically pass through to inflation and higher prices.

People aren't gonna understand how truly shitty this president is and what his agenda entails until everyday stuff like this happens to them. We can only hope that global economic downturn can get it through these thick MAGA skulls.

OR they might just make up conspiracy theories about how none of this is Trump’s fault and the global elite just want to see him fail. There is no limit to their stupidity. Cults will believe anything that absolves their leader and it’s so much easier for them to believe they are the victim no matter what.

The way that will also affected by tariffs too, I think not many will attempt that, unless they're ignorant about this fact or small numbers who actually afford it

Thats the more likely scenario. At that point, we need to start letting these people fend for themselves or something because we shouldn’t have to pay for their stupidity.

Also, it’ll likely be $600 or more if you purchase it while these tariffs are in place.

The way we wanted to believe that those prices already had the tariffs being considered

Trump now messed with the wrong people
