Nintendo said it will not start pre-orders for the Switch 2 in the United States for the time being to evaluate the market conditions.

This week, bookings for new consoles have been launched in Europe and the UK.However, Nintendo now says pre-orders will not be open to U.S. customers for the time being due to the current turbulent financial situation in the United States.

"To assess the potential impact of tariffs and changing market conditions, pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start on April 9, 2025. Nintendo will be updated later. The June 5, 2025 release date remains the same."

Recently, US President Trump has imposed reciprocal tariffs on many countries around the world, including high tariffs on China, because China is the main producer of technology products.He also imposed a 10% tariff on all imported products on Wednesday.Among them, tariffs of 54% and 24% are imposed on China and Japan respectively.

A report from the Financial Times last month said that Nintendo has started to shift production from China since the first Trump administration expressed its intention to subvert global trade, noting that more than half of the hardware Nintendo imports to the United States comes from Vietnam and Cambodia.

However, Trump announced on Wednesday that it would impose a 46% tariff on Vietnam and a 49% tariff on Cambodia, effective April 9.According to a Financial Times source, hundreds of thousands of Switch 2 have been shipped from Vietnam to Nintendo's U.S. factory since the beginning of this year, perhaps in order to respond in advance.
