Donald Trump’s changes to tariffs is seemingly going to affect the Nintendo Switch 2 pricing in the United States. Nintendo informed journalist Tamoor Hussain that the Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders, which were meant to kick off in the USA on Wednesday 9th April, will not happen on that date and will be announced at a later date. Presumably the Kyoto-based company is looking to see how much Trump’s tariffs will affect pricing before committing to pre-orders, which would obviously have to include the system price. Pre-orders have already opened in Europe at a large number of retailers. Nintendo says that the launch date remains 5th June in the United States and the rest of the world.
US: Nintendo says Switch 2 pre-orders won’t start on 9th April due to tariff’s
Here we go price increase 😂
One cent more than $450 and I’m out. At least until I can “cheat the system” like I did with PS5. Wait until black friday and buy lots of $50 Gamestop cards for $40 each at BJs or Costco then save $100 on the system. ;)
Im going to bing search my way into a free switch 2 😂 or at the very least a half of prices one.
Man this is like taking a huge blow to the head. Thanks to Trump tariff announcement. I still dislike the guy himself. I guess Nintendo is going to stick with 450$ without any change all thanks to Trump’s yammering.
The system was going to be that price regardless of tariffs. Anyone saying tariffs are the sole reason for the price increase that is a boldfaced lie.
Well some sources tells it that it is the sole reasons why because of the tariffs. I guess Trump was just too freaking busy on not making any promises about the US is going to be great but we all predicted that he is going to make the country even worse now since he mess everything up during COVID.
Mmmm the cope
Why are you acting like $450 is some awful price? I swear Nintendo fans just want everything cheap but also want really good tech. This is a reasonable price for what you are getting
Honestly, it is a awful price compare to other modern devices. Its not a very good decent price for people’s budget. Some people can’t afford things that are too expensive like a new I-Phone and a new Tesla Cybertruck. They wanted things to be a little cheaper compare to other consoles like PS4 and Xbox One prices. They wanted the gaming market to be less cheaper for their own money to spend on even if each consoles manufacturers want’s to make improvements for their products without any real issues. Its like Xbox Series X suffers smoking issues after launch.
And yet the PS5 with the disc drive outsells the digital only. Go figure.
It’s the games being possibly 80$. But the state might end to more expensive
So if they can change the preorder date hey can change the prices. I’m sure Trump’s tariffs aren’t the full reason why they’re doing this. It’s way too convenient an excuse
Honestly, that might be the full reason because Nintendo want’s to make sure they will beat the Nintendo Switch 2 sales so everyone can get one. The rich people gets richer and the poor get more torture.
If that wasn’t the only reason, then why not do it everywhere in the world?
But I swear to you here.
Oh dear…
This should shut up those drop the price crowd who are mostly Americans. You chose this. FAFO.
Everywhere else the pre-orders remain the same. This is simply a US and Trump thing. I feel sorry for those people who didn’t vote for him but still have to live with the consequences.
Anyone who voted for Trump can suck my balls. Video games was my one escape
Sucks for you americans.
Not nice buddy what if it happen to you it wouldn’t be funny
Just going to drop this here.
But, but, but “trumps tariffs won’t affect the price”….. You reap what you sow
Thanks, America. This is what happens when you vote without doing research.
Sasori Obinna doesn’t need this.
Well, that’s what happens when you voted for Trump to get back in the office. I hate this guy.
Hey @Sickr any news this will or won’t affect the registry for pre ordering in May from the Nintendo website?
im gonna kms
